As Trump and Putin work to crush Ukraine and destabilise Europe and Farage’s ally gets sentenced it’s a good time to revisit this excellent report on how the British rightwing has betrayed us all.

Vähemmän omavaraisuutta

Enemmän rahaa ulos Suomesta

Vähemmän rahaa Suomeen

Sitä se käytännössä tarkoittaa, kun Perussuomalaiset vastustavat ilmastonmuutoksen vastaista työtä

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
Escalating to escalate.

These thoughts aren't just Dugin's.All of Russia's leaders think like this.That's why Russia must lose the ability to wage wars through economic&physical force.

russia has stolen 1.7 million items of Ukrainian cultural heritage from ancient artifacts to museum collections.

This is not mere looting; it is an attempt to erase Ukraine's identity. russia's war against #Ukraine is also a war against our memory, culture, and our right to exist.

’Talouskasvua tukevat tutkinnot’ on aivopieru. Mikään hallitus ei voi tietää, millaisin oppiaineyhdistelmin talouskasvun tekijät syntyvät. Jos se nyt on se tavoite, kasvu. Ja kyllä kuulkaa alkaa hymy hyytyä, jos meillä ei ole ihmisiä esim. hoiva-alan hommiin. Pää kainalossa on vaikea innovoida.

The US government has abdicated and left the West as we knew it.

Evidence, logic, truth and morality no longer are America's core values.
Trump full-on accusing Zelensky of starting the war Russia launched against Ukraine in 2014, before Zelensky was even president, and escalated in 2022 with it unprovoked, full-blown invasion. Not a single criticism toward Putin, a day after the deadliest single attack of the war by Russia this year.
Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."
