Humanitarianism started as a collection of amateurs, often socialist as much as religious. Over time, it became increasingly reliant on donor states predominantly in the global north. Inevitably, this meant it become an expression of political power rather than humanity.

The U.S. aid freeze shows how easily dependency can be weaponised. Programmes addressing HIV, maternal health, SRH and TB could grind to a halt, leaving millions at risk. This dependency mirrors colonial-era resource exploitation.

Global health funding reflects hierarchies of power. South Africa is positioned as a recipient of aid, not an equal partner. This reinforces global inequalities, keeping countries in the Majority World dependent.

This is imperialism in action. Decisions about our health systems are made Washington, undermining our sovereignty. Meanwhile, local needs, like strengthening the entire health system, can take a backseat to donor priorities.

Aid isn’t just charity, it’s a tool of soft power. The U.S. uses foreign assistance to advance its own political and economic goals. Conditions like the Global Gag Rule show how aid often imposes Western agendas on countries like ours.

Enter foreign aid. Programmes like PEPFAR & USAID stepped in to address crises like HIV but instead of building long-term local capacity, these initiatives entrenched dependency. The U.S. controls priorities, creating a neo-colonial dynamic of giver vs. receiver.

I still think it's too much exposure, some of my greatest times on the internet were back when I was out convincing Americans that the Indian govt gave each citizen an elephant and our voting rights were tied to its welfare
we are reaching utterly unprecedented levels of my fellow white people having what they think are profound insights about Asia based on 5 minutes of exposure

In a Namibian town, a Canadian company has left a legacy of 300,000 tons of arsenic waste. Many townsfolk are getting sick. And tests show high levels of arsenic in the soil, in the plants -- and the people. Our report:

I had a blue tick on Twitter because the costs were basically covered by ad revenue sharing and it allowed me to counter misinformation. But now even with that tick, all fascist arguments are clearly deprioritised.
There is absolutely no reason to “stay and fight” on that platform.
It’s toast.

A friend moved cities a few years ago, hoping the geographic shift would help them to reboot. It hasn't worked. I mentioned it to a mutual friend. Her reply was crisp and perceptive: "You can't relocate from yourself."

Every time the disastrous consequences of neoliberalism get more bloody obvious I trick myself into thinking this is simply the dramatic end point. And then it just keeps grinding on. I’ve never felt more pessimistic despite being, to some degree, a radical optimist.
