We must BE Iceland as the widening cracks in Trump's evil regime destroy the global far right.
Let's not reboot a failed system once the Orange One and his acolytes are gone.
Let's throw them in jail & press 'Full Reset' to build a new democratic world, bottom up.

The UK and US chose to bail out the rich, blame the poor, and turbo-charge inequality.
Iceland chose justice, transparency and public power.
And got a healthier society.
The UK and US got Trump, Farage, austerity, culture wars and a collapsing environment.

At the same time, Iceland rebuilt its economy around things that actually sustain a society:
• renewable energy
• sustainable fishing
• tourism
• tech
• strong social protections
Not fantasy finance and casino capitalism.

The usual US & EU billionaire media propagandists mocked it as 'naïve.'
Iceland's political class fought ferociously to block some of the assembly's recommendations.
But enough people power was adopted to change the country's politics forever.

Next, Iceland went gunning for its political leaders.
Prime Minister Geir Haarde was put on trial for negligence for allowing the banks to balloon out of control.
A head of government, held to account.
Not a sacrificial junior minister — the top.

Then the authorities came after the crooked bankers.
Not with hearings and inquiries.
With criminal charges.
CEOs and top executives were indicted and jailed for fraud, market manipulation and breach of fiduciary duty.
Over 30 financial criminals served jail time.

Not 'restructured,' not 'rescued,' not 'too big to jail.'
Failed.
The shareholders were wiped out.
Foreign investors took losses.
But ordinary people were protected as much as possible.

In 2008, Iceland’s banks collapsed with debts 10× the size of the economy.
The entire global financial system melted down overnight.
In the UK and US, bailed out the financial bad guys.
Iceland said: “YOU broke it, YOU own it.”

Iceland did something after the 2008–09 crash that the US, UK and EU pretend is impossible as Trump and his vile ilk ride rough shod over our democracies.
It confronted and punished its corrupt bankers and failed politicians.
And rebuilt a fairer society from the rubble. 🧵
