Quote of the day - 12-06-2025.
Bárbara Loureiro of Brazil’s Landless Workers’ Movement (MST)
“There is no real way out of the climate crisis without a rupture with the capitalist model, and there is no possible rupture without popular organisation, without collective struggle, and without confronting the structures that profit from devastation.”

The Coloniality of Solidarity - why the Western Political Left always gets co-opted.
Overcoming the coloniality of solidarity constitutes a formidable challenge, necessitating rigorous self-reflexivity, a deliberate interrogation of material positionality, and a conscious recalibration of ideological dispositions. The binary oppositions between ‘regimes’ and ‘peoples’ in the Global South – once a central analytical framework within comparative political science in the imperialist core – have been uncritically adopted and normalized among certain leftist formations in the Global North. This discursive tendency manifests in prevailing attitudes toward states such as Iran, Nicaragua, Cuba, Zimbabwe, China, Syria, and Venezuela, where reductive categorizations persist.
This is the point at which Ajl’s cautionary argument, in relation to Iran, assumes critical significance: ‘By separating “the regime” from “the people”, the US–Israeli propaganda justifies state collapse in the name of the people. You cannot defend a people by adopting the rhetoric used to justify their destruction’ (Ajl Citation2025). This separation, now common in Western Left discourse, fetishizes an abstract ‘people’ while rejecting the actual institutions that make their survival possible. In the Global South, and in Iran in particular, patriotism can be a working-class ideology because the state is the shield against imperialist dismemberment. It is the state that funds hospitals, operates power grids, sustains education systems, and maintains the armed forces capable of defending those functions. To demand solidarity with ‘the people’ while refusing to defend the state is, in effect, to adopt the imperial premise. It mimics imperialist discourses that those institutions are illegitimate and expendable.

Wow, a long-term study on HFCS shows how bad it really can be.
"A notable finding from this research indicated that chronic HFCS consumption resulted in significant impairments in cognitive functions that are critical to daily living. These included deficits in working memory, decision-making, and even social behaviors essential for establishing interpersonal relationships."

I just want to say - staging a war between two nuclear weapon-enabled countries should be one attribute of a psychopath.
So what does this make the CIA, the US Elites, and the US Empire?

This time it'll be a little longer than normal. We'll see how well things go. After all, it does apparently keep me employed.
