Key issues decolonization, ecology&environment protection - favoring nature, people and sustainable societies over capitalism (<-> not a pro immigration/migration believer/supporter). Here to get info, new thoughts&ideas and researches&sources. Näin nyt.
This is it. Recommendation without my thoughts, because they would cause resentment. Well fu**it. Because that is the problem. Resentment from capitalist & the believer of capitalism & "free markets" & economical growth as solution &must. Liberalist & individualism & globalization&neoliberalism etc.

Agree with this, more and more as becoming older. Even in our plural/non-partisan party system. Recall that in political science, moving woters/non-party-devoted ones are named as 'knights of the democracy'.

You can better understand any political party's position on any issue, by first understanding whose interests they are trying to protect.

some of the most fascinating takes that i’ve seen on social media lately is people struggling to answer the question “why aren’t people revolting?” as if revolutions in the past materialized because random people left their homes with pitchforks and overthrew the state.
it doesn’t work like that.

They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

There’s still some resistance in the Global North to take the frame of extractivism seriously. They worry it means that post-extractivism will end mining and resource use for all - wrong interpretation.
What we need is to dismantle extraction for bad purposes/with bad methods, tackling capital.

There’s a fantastical world where some good analysts want to claim oil is not a key component of this. I believe they err because they detach resource imperialism from extractivism. It’s never about one resource, it’s about extractivist control, which enables resource grabs of many sorts.
My notes on Trump's claim that to make up for corporate losses after Venezuela nationalised oil in the 70s, the US gets to take all of the oil reserves. Trump doesn't need democratic excuses for regime change anymore. All it takes is for a US corporation to have lost a dime due to nationalisation.
