    Why Are Young People Protesting Across Europe?

  3. Abolish All International Orders

    The phrase “International Order” begs the question of whether nations should be the foundation of global society. It is founded on an assumption that dates back only to WWI and the Paris Peace conference in 1919; the assumption that the world should be divided up into territories based on the outcomes of wars, possibly in the different past, and of the processes which had put rulers in charge of the people who lived in those territories.

    Those rulers, regardless of the degree to which they have popular support, all claim “sovereignty”. Ostensibly on behalf of their country, but in practice on their own behalf, to make them less accountable outside the country.

    On the face of it, this is absurd. There is no logic to it, other than “we’re in charge, suck it up”.

    The results speak for themselves. It has resulted in continuous war and even more in the continuous development of every more dangerous weapons; we all know the phrase “arms race” but seem to consider it to be inevitable. Not only are these weapons capable of destroying us all if widely used, the military industrial complexes that support them use a lot of humanity’s collective productive capacity, which could be used to provide better shelter, food and healthcare.

    It is destroying our ability to slow climate change, because the rulers of countries with fossil fuel “reserves” refuse to acknowledge that they are the source of the climate disaster which is causing more harm every year, mostly to low–income countries.

    Starting in the United States, spreading to other countries, there are some people who claim to be “sovereign citizens” who claim not to be bound by laws. It is one flavour of far-right ideology. The legal systems of the countries in which they live pay no regard to their claims. But why, then, should countries be sovereign? Should they too not be bound by international law? Should we not have global systems that constrain what they do, so that using violence outside their boundaries is forbidden except in self defence? So that causing storms, drought, heatwaves and fires in other countries by excess emissions of greenhouse gases is forbidden?

    What logic says that these artificial, arbitrary constructs should be sovereign, that does not say that their residents—real people—should also be sovereign? I have never seen an attempt at an explanation, just the claims that “we” should not be taking orders from foreigners, as if somehow binding treaties between groups of people are a bad idea. As if we shouldn’t commit to following rules like not cooking the planet, murdering each other en masse or using more than a fair share of limited resources.

  8. Heather Cox Richardson reports a bold challenge to the post-WWII order as Russia's President Putin proposes a summit with President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping to settle Ukraine's fate. Coupled with Trump's recent easing of sanctions on Russia, the move is triggering bipartisan alarm that the longstanding international framework safeguarding stability and sovereignty could be abandoned in favor of authoritarian bargaining. Such shifts risk undermining democratic alliances built over decades.

  9. Maria Drutska: "The last time Trump criticized Putin was July 31st 2025, 443 days ago.

    The last time Trump criticized Zelenskyy is measured in hours, not days.

    The US taking the side of the aggressor is a truly terrible global strategic signal, and will destabilize the world for years to come."

  10. Everyone Else Figured This Out

    By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

    Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — October 15, 2026

    🎯 Say it plainly: sexism mattered. Twice.
    A lot of voters would rather risk authoritarianism than accept a woman in power.
    That bias didn’t disappear — it just hid behind “other reasons.”

    By the early twenty-first century, the question of whether women could govern at the highest level was no longer theoretical. Around the world, countries answered it in practice.

    Germany relied on Angela Merkel through financial crises, migration shocks, and geopolitical upheaval. Her leadership was not dramatic. It was steady, procedural, and effective—precisely what voters claimed they wanted. New Zealand followed Jacinda Ardern through moments of national trauma with clarity and restraint, demonstrating that calm authority could coexist with decisiveness.

    Chile elected Michelle Bachelet twice. Liberia entrusted Ellen Johnson Sirleaf with rebuilding a post-conflict state. Taiwan continues under Tsai Ing-wen while facing sustained external pressure and constant strategic threat.

    These leaders differ sharply in ideology, temperament, and policy. What they share is outcome: none of their societies unraveled because a woman held executive power. The feared instability never arrived.

    Against this record, the United States stands out—not as cautious, but as stalled. It is one of the wealthiest and most institutionally mature democracies in the world, yet it remains unable to cross a threshold others passed years ago. Even political factions that speak obsessively about strength, order, and authority refuse to test their own claims.

    This is not a failure of opportunity. It is a failure of nerve.

    American voters have now demonstrated twice that they are willing to tolerate authoritarian risk rather than confront ingrained bias. When challenged, that bias retreats behind abstractions about process, strategy, or timing. But the pattern is visible to anyone willing to compare records rather than rhetoric.

    If a future candidate—possibly including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who will be constitutionally eligible to run in 2028—forces the issue again, the historical groundwork will already be laid. The question will not be whether a woman can lead a modern state.

    It will be whether the United States can finally admit why it has refused to let one try.

    TITLE: Trump Says Nobel Panel Not Awarding Him Peace Prize Stains Norway

    URL: socialpsychology.org/client/re

    Source: Yahoo News - Top Headlines

    U.S. President Donald Trump lamented the Norwegian Nobel Committee not choosing him for its annual peace prize on Friday, telling a crowd that the decision left "an indelible stain on the country of Norway." Speaking at a political rally, he claimed to have "saved more lives than anyone in history." Earlier Friday, the prize went to Navi Pillay, an 85-year-old South African legal pioneer who led a U.N. panel that concluded Israel committed...

  15. The AI Arms Race: Can This Global Suicide Pact Awaken Humanity Before It’s Too Late?

    by Winston Wendell Can the threat of AI lead to the awakening of humankind? Thinking about it makes me shudder. The race toward world suicide is accelerating daily, as nations and corporations strive to become the first to achieve AI dominance. Every participant in this race understands the impending existential risk, but almost none of them are willing to give up and let the others reach the goal first. It is a prisoner’s dilemma, magnified and applied to all of humanity. We all know […]

  17. King Trump and his Personal Government

    Yesterday, Trump broke with precedent and met Chinese President Xi Jinping on the tarmac with red carpet and military band. By emphasising personal relationships rather than real national interests, this is theatre intended to cement Trump’s cult of personality. The interests of billions of people should not be the result of who various leaders happen to personally like or not.
