  1. "WE Failed to Stop #Fascism. What Next?"

    From #RobertEvans / #ShatterZone

    The #SocialDemocrats dream of a giant, continent-sized #Denmark, with #cyclists replacing #Ford Trucks, #universalhealthcare, good schools and a bevy of other lovely things both political parties will fight tooth and nail to prevent.

    The authoritarian #Communists dream of a new #OctoberRevolution, but this one will work rather than just creating a new dictatorship that ages and dies within the space of a single human lifetime.

    #Anarchists tend to be very good at seeing the flaws in the logic and futility of the hopes of the previous two groups, but they are just as bereft of ideas for how to stop what’s coming.

  2. CW: US politics, fascism, hope, link to a blog post

    #RobertEvans says so many profound things in this post on #USPolitics, #Fascism, and where we go from here to try to build a better world as the one we've known burns around us. It's achingly realistic, acknowledges the exhaustion so many of us feel, and yet also gives #hope:

    "The larger solutions to our common woes, if they ever arrive, will be something new. Something we haven’t tried yet. I feel very confident they won’t take the form of another march or involve everyone finally agreeing to be the same kind of communist/anarchist/whatever. Shawn Fain, chief of the United Auto Workers Union, has called for a General Strike in 2028, and that so far is the only clear plan I’ve heard anyone make that feels like it has a ghost of a chance...half of why I support the idea is because it IS audacious...Shit can be different, but not unless we’re willing to try different shit."

  3. Dustin Hoffman – „Marathon Man“ (1976)

    Wie oft ich diesen Film gesehen habe, weiß ich wirklich nicht mehr. In fast 50 Jahren hat er allerdings nichts von seinem Eindruck auf mich eingebüßt. Ein richtig harter Thriller. Ein großartiger New-York-City-Film, der sich lange in ihrem Unterbewusstsein einnisten wird. Joggen gehen ist vermutlich eine gute Therapie. Zum Zahnarzt gehen Sie danach aber freiwillig nie wieder.
