‘Free Zone Island’

‘Most people have never heard of this transformation. That is by design. When Labour rebranded Freeports as ‘Industrial Strategy Zones’ and systematically avoided the word ‘Freeport’ in official documents, it was a deliberate strategy. The rollout took place through secondary legislation, meaning no parliamentary debate, no public consultation, and no press notification.’ https://tribunemag.co.uk/2026/05/free-zone-island #Empire #MouldyLogic #WeakMen

'Lewis takes up a debate with several Black feminists who have, at various times, questioned the idea of family abolition, whose central argument has been that, very often, Black families have been sites of resistance against racism. Similarly, we could point to many experiences of class struggle in which sectors of working families have played a key role against the attacks of capital: supporting strikes, establishing relations of solidarity between factories and neighborhoods, staging rent strikes, maintaining soup kitchens, creating movements in defense of public services, and many other forms of resistance. The tradition of “women’s commissions” in strikes, for example, has allowed the working class to articulate fighting forces far beyond the workplace.

'To this criticism Lewis responds that, even so, we should not cease working for the abolition of the family, since we would not need its “protective shield” if we managed to build a society without racism. The argument contains a grain of truth, but it stops halfway. It fails to contemplate the role that the family relations within sectors of the working class and oppressed can play in moments of heightened class struggle. On another level, it doesn’t account for the fact that capitalism, while it needs such a “social cell” for its own reproduction, constantly undermines working families’ very conditions of existence. Marx and Engels remarked on this in the mid-19th century, pointing to the length of the working day, the lack of decent housing, and the general precariousness of working class life.'

Australia’s ‘strategic infantilisation’ by the US is undermining our security in Asia

"We are a perennially anxious nation, seemingly unable to come to terms with the reality of our geographic position. We reflexively identify with faraway members of the Anglosphere, such as the United States and the United Kingdom. But even more consequentially, we outsource responsibility for our foreign and security policy to one great and powerful friend or another. "

Others "view us as an appendage of America’s grand strategy, with little capacity for independent thought, much less action...This may spare our policymakers from the challenge of thinking independently. >>

Americana meets the Aussie bush

Trying to get some bread in a cafe on Bellingen's main drag. Once the obstacle course of the packs of dogs on extendable leads are overcome it is time for waiting in a long queue on a Saturday. Many hipster families are there to have breakfast done for them.

One set was showcasing their three toddlers in a full 'American Western-inspired aesthetic', cowboy hats and boots. Mum had that Instagrammable ‘Mar-a-Lago face’.

Wide-brimmed hats are ideal to protect oneself from Australia's sun, but this was in the comfort zone of a cafe.

The "cowboy core" aesthetic facade harks back to the wide‑open‑spaces where cattle-herders (cowboys, stockmen/ringers) managed grazing livestock, for the pastoral industry, particularly in the Australian outback or American Western frontier.

Already in the 16th century, the Conquistadors and other Spanish settlers brought their cattle-raising traditions to Mexico and Florida.

The Western portrayed the cowboy as an enduring cultural figure representing freedom.

So why are these urban folks from the suburbs running around in 'costumes' looking like pastoralist workers from a mythical past? What 'sense of belonging' do they buy?

Maybe the fashionable habitus points to a vibe shift of the wannabe cowboys expressing preemptive subordination or imperial obsequiousness?

"On pourra toujours me dire des horreurs, ce ne sera jamais pire ! Jacques attend de moi le maximum. Du coup, ça m'a aussi appris à arrêter de chercher à plaire au père, puisque c'est impossible !"

Son père a imposé privation et manque à Lou Doillon. Fille de Jane Birkin et du réalisateur Jacques Doillon, Lou a une relation subordonnée à son père.

Et de poursuivre : "Quand j'enviais ma sœur [Charlotte Gainsbourg], qui vivait dans de super appartements, il me regardait avec dégoût". Si Lou Doillon s'est lancée dans une carrière d'actrice, c'était donc pour essayer de se rapprocher de ce père évitant. "Mon père paraissait rentrer (à la maison) à reculons, comme s'il ne songeait qu'à fuir, à retourner à son projet, explique-t-elle. Si j'ai voulu être comédienne, c'était avant tout pour le voir à l'endroit où il était bien. Partager ça avec lui".

En vain.

Noam Chomsky: It's very hard to recognize one's subordination to a system of power

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su9w_EO1t7Q&ab_channel=wonkmonk

And therefore the responsibility of raising the challenge is typically in the hands of those who recognize that they have a subordinate status. It's very hard to recognize that. I mean, people lived, you know, for millennia without recognizing that they are being subordinated in systems of power…
