Who would have thought that trashing a liveable biosphere would also ruin the economy
William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them.
They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear.
While helping to consign us all to catastrophe.

Yeah totally. It’s just not what they are, they don’t get to use that label in earnest—it’s a con.

Just like how Nazi’s call themselves “socialists” to make their anti-working class shit seem more palatable to win working class support; it’s an old trick fascists pull.

They lie.

Oh, right, you’re just talking about Nazis. No need to sugar coat it, those people aren’t feminists at all, not even slightly

…but they will always sprout back up. Tyrants cannot stop that. Repression takes work, it is unnatural, and requires constant reassertion.

Nice thing about just declarations is that they flow back into public spaces naturally, without effort.
February 5, 2026 at 7:27 AM
That’s the nice thing about the *Declaration* of human rights.

Once a declaration is let out of the box it cannot ever really be put back in. The weight of history presses down on anyone violating them, a global community spread across the world, and across time.

Someone can try to deny them…

Gaza => international human rights framework up in smoke.

That to me has been the most dangerous development so far
February 5, 2026 at 7:24 AM
I guess I’m what you might call a radical feminist and that just means I treat people with respect regardless of their gender. fuck me, right?

“Shooting people” is looking increasingly like a thing he’s probably done.

Some of the victims have spoken about not just being in a child sex trafficking ring but also snuff videos where other children were shot.

They also identified trump as high up, and Epstein working for him.

Israel so far today have killed 21 Palestinians, including children

Israel has also canceled the scheduled exit of patients through the Rafah Crossing for today. Many will die as a result of this murderous policy.

The British mainstream media are complicit in the cover-up of swathes of the Epstein files already in the public domain that mention and connect Farage, Putin, and Brexit.

That is a fact.

Let me guess, the CIA has been weaponised by the Trump-Putin-Netanyahu axis of evil, in order to chase after any Americans who are not Trump loyalists, and fix elections?

Maybe Penny Wong could ponder whether someone associated with a genocidal regime is the appropriate person to come along to mourn a mass murder.

The reason for a person coming do not erase who that person is

Yeah. I was never a right winger but I had some reactionary views as a teen that I got out of my system by maybe 20?

These manosphere guys are ALL consistently 12 years old on the inside and it’s so bloody cringe

Although ICE agents absolutely should not be wearing masks, acting like the brutality will stop because their faces are showing is quite naive. Police forces brutalize people all the time with their faces outs, name tags, badges and body cams. The only solution is no ICE.

Political cartoonists REALLY need new content, the “statue of liberty shot by ICE” thing has been done to death by now folks…

If markets are sacred and can never be nationalised or democratically run (which is the reigning hegemony) it’s just a bunch of gilded age style robber barons competing to see how little food their workers can survive on, and how much pollution they can get away with
February 4, 2026 at 7:51 AM
And then you’re worse than when you began. You’re paying money to citizens just to get it instantly slurped up by the markets you couldn’t possibly nationalise or even really regulate strongly.

UBI is just one example but I think it demonstrates why it inevitably always leads to worse and worse..
February 4, 2026 at 7:46 AM
But it cannot be understated that in neoliberal markets where that UBI is spent are barely regulated even in the most DemSoc capitalist countries.

What happens if you put a huge cash injection into a rigged market?

Supply and demand says prices rise.

That’s the issue; markets slurp it up.
February 4, 2026 at 7:46 AM
I would argue that any good example of capitalism you can hold up is at best temporary. It’s a race to the bottom, and cannot be anything different.

I find progressive liberal “UBI” policies the perfect illustration of this. They are sometimes implemented and initially get good results.

Initially.
