    “When is it possible to declare that a society has moved from liberal democracy, however imperfectly realised, to authoritarian rule? Is there a moment when it is suddenly obvious the change has occurred? Does authoritarianism announce its arrival?”

    [..]

    “The unpalatable truth is that Britain is already far down this path”

    “Today in dystopia YouTube is warning British content creators that proposed UK laws will result in decreased visibility of their videos on the platform, as the new rules would require the amplification of authorized narrative managers like the BBC above independent voices who may not regurgitate the official narratives of the empire”

  3. “For decades, governments insisted that public finances required austerity. Hospitals, universities, pensions and social welfare supposedly had to accept painful budget discipline. Suddenly, none of these fiscal constraints apply to military expenditure. Deficits that were politically impossible for healthcare or education have become entirely acceptable for weapons procurement. Defence spending is no longer presented as a burden but as an investment strategy and an excellent possibility for job openings (they don’t mention the expanded graveyards that usually go along with warfare)”

    “NATO has never been merely a military alliance within the UN-based international order. It has always been an expression of the Western strategic worldview. Today it is becoming something even more complex: a system where security policy, industrial policy, technological power, and capital accumulation increasingly merge. The Ankara summit will not only discuss defence and deterrence; it will reveal how deeply the future of capitalism, technology and organised violence has become intertwined. It will be yet another chapter in the political economy of permanent mobilization for warfare”

  6. “the US seeks 200 billion dollars of non existent American money to continue its own destruction - and that of the rest of the world”

    “US Treasury Secretary Scott #Bessent assures Americans there is ‘plenty of money’ to fund the war. No need to raise taxes, no need to cut anything, just a ‘supplemental’. ‘We have a #trillion dollars in this year’s budget for the military,’ he said breezily. A trillion dollars. For the military. While public schools crumble. While infrastructure decays. While 27% of adults go without dental care and 17% of low-income Americans have already lost six or more teeth to entirely preventable disease. There are homeless tent cities in every single city in the US”

  7. “Rich right-wingers are calling for DWP [Department for Work and Pensions] cuts in order to pay for defence”

    by Hannah Sharland in The Canary

    @thecanaryuk

    @ZackPolanski

    “Right-wing warhawks have been doubling down on calls to slash Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) welfare to fund imperialistic warmongering against Iran.

    Naturally, it’s the usual suspects spearheading the charge, namely opaquely-funded think tanks, the billionaire press, and of course, their co-conspirators in parliament.

    And once again, these rich colonial capitalist assholes all want to make poor and disabled people cannon fodder for their illegal invasions.”

  9. “Time for a Global Axis of Resistance”

    by Tariq Marzbaan & Nora Hoppe in Al Mayadeen English

    “The centuries-old racist-colonialist essence of Western imperialism – amplified over recent postmodern decades by the ruthless ambitions of the Anglo-American-Zionist alliance – has degenerated into total lawlessness and barbarism. It has become a blind and unfettered force of inconceivable savagery, forming the foundation of what we call the Axis of Barbarism”

  10. Quoting professor Avishai Ehrlich on Trump's "transfer" endorsement and the reshaping of global order:

    […] While Israelis are drawing comparisons between the condition of returned hostages and the 'Muselmann' in Nazi concentration camps [a derogatory term meaning “Muslim”, as in ‘barbaric’ or ‘fatalistic’], the world views what is happening in Gaza as genocide. Gazans will not leave voluntarily, and Trump will not transfer Gaza's population using the American military, nor through private military companies. Will the Israeli army once again destroy the ruins, bomb the survivors in refugee camps, and exterminate those who are starving? All of them? As Bialik [a poet] said: 'Vengeance like this, for the blood of a child, Satan has yet to devise.' How will we live afterward in the Middle East? How will we live in the world? How will we live with ourselves?

    Ehrlich argues that Trump's support for the "transfer" (ethnic cleansing) of Palestinians from #Gaza is part of a broader shift in the global order. He connects this endorsement to the historical Zionist concept of transfer, noting that it has been a central idea since before #Israel's establishment and implemented through various expulsions and dispossessions. He contends that a military victory over #Hamas is impossible, and that the only way to obtain it is to get rid of the population.

    Ehrlich is a professor of political sociology, and has extensively researched the Israeli-Arab conflict, arguing that Israeli society cannot be understood separately from the conflict, which he terms a "Permanent War society". He views the conflict through the lens of "world-systems" theory, where global power dynamics shape local conflicts. He also researches the concept of "Low Intensity Ethnic Cleansing," where administrative measures create conditions for mass migration, and the rise of Private Military Companies (PMCs), which erode state accountability and international law.
