The biggest problem of the EU? There are too many far-right governments in the Council which block any action and the "democratic" right is collaborating with the far-right in the Parliament. The biggest problem of the far-right in the EU? Not sure whether to sell the EU to Russia or the US.

The fight for the biggest assholes on Earth between the American and Russian government might be entertaining to some, but I would skip it. Guess some like 2026 hot.

"Empathy frees us from hatred and indifference. It expands our perception of someone else's life - often to a point that feels unbearable." Radek Wollmann

It's funny how various US lackeys keep trying to put a legitimate face on this and then trump like phones in to Fox News and says 'We're taking all the oil and we will punish anyone who tries to stop us'

🤔 I'm old enough to remember a few hours ago when this was supposedly about drugs.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

Opposing the US action in Venezuela doesn't mean you support Maduro. It just means you are not stupid enough to believe that Trump is bombing a country filled with oil during his massive scandal out of the goodness of his heart and for the benefit of Venezuelan people.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Translation: Donald Trump's efforts to normalize using the military to pacify the population have failed, thanks to resistance and divisions within the ruling class. But he anticipates a future outbreak of resistance that will compel him to try again. So can we. crimethinc.com/TurningTide

tfw you're a maker and not a taker

As a person who this year managed to quit smoking, cut down alcohol and exercised more than even I would like to say: Yes, it can be done. No, it will not solve everything. There are perks - many actually. It is a process. Don't be too hard on yourself. Hold your head high and fight. Good luck.

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do

“we all must prepare to defend ourselves and our communities every time fascists crawl out from under their rocks and attempt to organize and promote bigotry and genocide. History has shown us what happens when we don't stand up to them.”

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy. crimethinc.com/democracy
