Slavoj Žižek | If You Want Peace, Prepare Europe
What can Europe still represent in the disorder of the present? And what if its political fragility contains a resource that has yet to be named?
On 25 March 2026, for the launch of Europa2057 at the Sala della Protomoteca in Campidoglio, philosopher Slavoj Žižek, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, brings a radical question to the centre: what can Europe still represent in the disorder of the present?
Between the return of war and the crisis of democracies, Europe appears fragile, contradictory, often unable to recognise its own political force. For Žižek, it is precisely in this fragility that the possibility of rethinking its role opens up.
Europe still has the possibility of building a different idea of freedom and coexistence: a space defined by what it makes possible, rather than by the borders it defends.
What does it mean to stake on Europe today as a political project still open?

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@Paulatics/117198554325285787
“On October 19 you may be overwhelmed at the polling station by the bundle of 10 colourful ballots. You may decide the vote on separation is the only one that matters. But Albertans of goodwill need to step up and let the UCP government know what we think of all of their spiteful, specious referendum questions. It’s simple. Vote no to the nine. Reject this small-minded, cowardly vision of an Alberta that slams its door in the face of the future.”
Read the whole piece, especially if you’re unsure about what’s going on in Alberta under Trump-favour-seeker Danielle Smith.
I hope enough Albertans are smarter and less racist than Smith believes and hopes. Come on, Alberta, slam the door on Smith and this referendum.

In the rule, the #USPS said that it would deliver #MailBallots ONLY in #states that shared voter data with the federal agency.
Before the USPS accepts ballots into its system, the agency would review every envelope for “compliance” with the new [illegal] standards, including by checking that the recipient was enrolled with the USPS to receive a mail ballot.

"On some level, I believe the question how can others make their own is a lot better. In her lectures, Jacobs points to federalism as a potential solution – at least when it comes to governments. But could equally apply to other forms of organizations.
We do not need to create large structures that just run the risk of becoming yet another single-point-of-failure and at the same time require approaches to decenter community. We do not need another centralized Twitter but in open source that fails at moderation as a result. We do not need the GitHub replacement with all its problems, even if, like Codeberg, it would be democratically governed by a member-run organisation. Just like we do not need an alternative AWS US-East-1 that takes down the whole internet when it goes down.
Instead, what we might want is many, ‘reasonably’-sized alternatives that can interact, exchange and cross-communicate.

And the folks working on making federated code forges work might just pull the same thing off for that domain.
This is all not to say that there never can be situations where ‘scaling up’ isn’t possible or maybe even the right call. But, instead of making how do we scale the knee-jerk reaction, we need to start earlier."

We do not need to create large structures that just run the risk of becoming yet another single-point-of-failure and at the same time require approaches to decenter community.

We do not need the GitHub replacement with all its problems, even if, like Codeberg, it would be democratically governed by a member-run organisation.
