Kaschuta describes the New Right as a sort of "masculine cargo cult": Masculinity is in abeyance in the broader culture, but, the movement believes, if they all say the right things, adopt the right postures and politics, the manliness and status that are their birthright will return and life will be good again. Within this fantasy, Kaschuta says, misogyny has the structure of antisemitism. Like the Jewish person, the modern woman is simultaneously wretched and all-powerful, feeble and defective and responsible for everything wrong in the world. "There is this feeling," she says, "that women are inferior and intellectually incapable, that they should be relegated to care work but, at the same time, that they have this horrible, total agency over the world and that they work in mysterious ways to warp the culture."

The Billionaires’ War The ultrawealthy put Trump in power but other people will pay the price

@pkrugman.bsky.social:
"these explicit money flows don’t capture the immense effect of other deployments of billionaires’ wealth, notably the subversion of both conventional and social media"

This is the thing. You do not need to sink the ships, just generate enough fear that the actuaries tip the balance in your favour and hey presto!: 200 USD a barrel.

We are ruled by geniouses.

Resurrecting the project of the NEOM line city, extending it 1500 Km to the Persian Gulf and filling it with water would be much more practical (see detailed map below). And with oil at $200 a barrel, KSA might need to find ways of spending all their new found wealth.

I am going to cry now.

La solució al problema de l'estret d'Hormuz és senzilla. Simplement cal allargar NEOM uns 1.500 kilòmetres més i omplir-lo d'aigua (veure mapa.)

Geni!

Han Solo saying "It's the ship that made the Straits of Hormuz in 12 parsecs"

Heard this one before. It's the one by Woody Allen (yes, I know) about speed-reading Dostoevsky. It's about some Russians.

I think at the time it was meant to be a joke.

Guess I now know why I never smoked.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

En dies en que em sento generòs, penso que Rutte ha entès que el seu rol davant la presidència de Trump és el de tonto útil que ha de mantenir els USA implicats amb l'aliança.

Però no per això deixa de ser tonto.

Well, you already dictate US trade and foreign policy, so I thought you could also do defense... Sorry, I meant 'War'.

Això de que la dreta esdevingués defensora de l'intervencionisme militar per protegir els drets humans, no ho tenia previst pel 2026.

Renovables, així si.

PS - Abans també, però ara més.
