#militarism — Public Fediverse posts

Good to see at least one UK news outlet willing to challenge #militarism and the insanity of spending £31bn on nukes at a time when our public services and infrastructure are on their arse.

L’économie de guerre permanente d’Israël

L’étude (Dana 2024) montre qu’Israël ne se réduit pas à un complexe militaro-industriel : la guerre y structure l’économie, la technologie, l’université, la diplomatie et même l’identité nationale. #Israel #WarEconomy #Militarism #Technology #Palestine L’étude analyse ce qu’elle appelle une économie de guerre permanente israélienne. Son idée centrale est que le militarisme n’y est pas un simple secteur parmi d’autres, mais une…

Iran Can’t Hit U.S. Directly—So It’s Hitting Everyone Around It

From @TheBreach

While he was on the campaign trail, #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney said he’d stand up to Donald Trump.

Instead, he’s using the U.S. president’s trade war as an excuse for a rapid-fire #rightwing agenda that would make Stephen Harper blush.

The latest video from The Breach independent media breaks down how Carney has unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz—embracing #BigOil and #militarism , #SocialCuts & crackdowns on #refugees.

As Election Nears, Kelly Warns #Trump Would Rule Like a #Dictator

#JohnKelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, said that he believed that #DonaldTrump met the definition of a #fascist.

By Michael S. Schmidt
Oct. 22, 2024

"In response to a question about whether he thought Mr. Trump was a fascist, Mr. Kelly first read aloud a definition of fascism that he had found online.

"'Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a #FarFight #authoritarian, #ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a #dictatorial leader, centralized #autocracy, #militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,' he said."

In #Berlin (part of my family lives there), hundreds came to protest against the #genocide in #Gaza/ #Palestine but (according to the media) 36.000 came to visit the #Bundeswehr(macht) at #BER airport and check out its latest killing machines, last weekend.

As for #Fediverse/ #Mastodon #censorship: it happens to me all the time, too. They even called on blocking the whole instance and defamed it as "antisemitic" and "colonialist". I seriously have no freakin' idea what those lunatics put into their cereals.

In 1971, the US govt took the ideas of Keynes and ran with it. They a gave a big middle-finger to France, by giving them a bunch of paper rather than the gold to pay back the debts the French were owed for backing #militarism in #Vietnam.

Since the mid-1970s the #productivityGains started going to those closest to the newly printed money, and not to a shortening work week.

Who is benefitting from digging holes and filling them up again?

There's literature and annedotes of #proofOfWork miners largely seeking #intermittantEnergy from #renewables, like #hydro. Bankers fly planes and consume energy for work. #CambridgeUniversity found that the demands are negligable, also.
