Done with my rant. Feeling much better already. Perhaps I´ll do Sweden next time. Anyway, I'm sure everything will be fine.
Trump will most likely need a war eventually, probably soon. It would provide useful scapegoats, silence opposition, and be very profitable, short-term. The plan, as I understand it, would be as follows:
What Marx was showing was really the increasing level of abstraction as economic systems evolved, the middle class being the up-to-date experts, now and then kicking out the old elite. But much of the working class has been replaced by robots, and now the middle class by AI.
Neo-Colonialism is proof that the Right-Wing elites actually do believe in climate change. Neo-Imperialism – corporations exploiting with state back-up – will not be enough. Territory is important again.
Tempting for oligarchs to crash the global economy and use the phoney credit only they could still enjoy to buy everything for nothing. Literally nothing.
Russia's WWII-style invasion of Ukraine damaging also because it makes so many believe the next WW will be fought rifle in hand on the ground. Incels tempted by heroics. Modern warfare: Destroy all military and civilian infrastructure from a distance first.
Gaza similarities to Spanish Civil War: Used as testing ground for tech, ideology, propaganda, repression. And passivity as action.
I'm not a global politics expert in any way, but I just have to vent!

A recent US presidential EO "refers to autism and other disabilities as 'a dire threat to the American people & our way of life.' This is fundamentally inaccurate. Autistic people have always been here, including before America existed. We aren’t new." autisticadvocacy.org/2025/02/asan... 1/2

Just found out Tom Robbins died (9 Feb). Perhaps time for some re-reading - like reading the news but with a happy end. And remember: "Peeple of zee wurl, relax."
