There was a world after Auschwitz, there is now a world after Gaza and @brunomacaes.bsky.social sets out to describe its horrors.

Outstanding reflections on the Gaza genocide: "How were the horrors of Gaza possible? Quite simply, because those who tried to stop or expose them quickly discovered that our political systems were committed to the genocide and there simply was no way to give voice or power to a different politics."

"The main way the genocide has been actively supported by our democracies is less the flow of weapons & intelligence.. important as these are, than the organised repression & punishment of everyone who dared to call attention to events in Gaza or offer criticism of Israel" @brunomacaes.bsky.social

"The important question is not whether a genocide has been taking place in Gaza, but how it happened and how it was allowed to happen." brunomacaes.substack.com/p/gaza-the-r... @brunomacaes.bsky.social

I wrote a personal essay on what it has meant for me witnessing events in Gaza since October 2023. I would be grateful if you help spread it. These were painful, disturbing conclusions to reach. But inescapable…

Trump's gangsterism towards the EU is working. Bruno Maçães writes that the US-EU tariff deal is a disaster for the European economy.

Bruno Maçães: “A ordem americana é completamente artificial e arbitrária” www.publico.pt/2025/07/12/m...

Em “Construtores de Mundos”, Bruno Maçães propõe: a tecnologia passou a ser o verdadeiro objeto da geopolítica, destronando o lugar que antes cabia ao território

excelente entrevista do @brunomacaes.bsky.social sobre israel, gaza e irã www.rtp.pt/play/p14350/...

Very well put by @brunomacaes.bsky.social in the New Statesman: ‘Once again we are told that a Middle Eastern nation needs to be bombed so it can taste the fruit of freedom.’

Que nova ordem mundial é anunciada por Trump? Bruno Maçães, político e académico, responde a Daniel Oliveira

April 23: Trump as fantasist; American simulations; and the logic of decoupling open.substack.com/pub/brunomac...

Bruno Maçães on the geopolitical battle of China and US is 'a competition between designers or programmers to determine which of them can build the most powerful dream machine.' Except Trump is building a nightmare engine.

Very good! Read and spread the word that Europe is far from helpless!

Good to see Bruno here - always a thought provoking voice, including in this piece. To me one of the crucial strategic questions for Europe now, whether to pretend the transatlantic alliance still works or go full strategic autonomy:

“Starmer and France’s Emmanuel Macron are chasing a chimera: US security guarantees that no one believes are worth anything”

My new article. Please read and share

Superb piece by @brunomacaes.bsky.social on why Europe is not doomed yet t.co/vjksiQxQec

Bruno Maçães: Europe is not doomed yet. It still has many cards it can play against Russia.

FT review of World Builders t.co/mAizCcIAKq

Bruno Maçaes over de nieuwe Amerikaanse koers: „Wat we zien is een doelbewuste vernedering van de Europeanen. Laat hen de instabiliteit maar oplossen, laat hen de rekening maar betalen." Interview van collega @rikrutten.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

,,Wat we zien is een doelbewuste vernedering van de Europeanen. Laat hen de instabiliteit maar oplossen, laat hen de rekening maar betalen. We moeten erkennen dat dit is wat de VS nu zijn.” Interview met ex-minister Maçaes @rikrutten.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Europe needs to transition to a wartime economy and focus entirely on that last paragraph of yours. The EU has its own mutual defence clause. Now it needs a coordinated military, independent of US weapons systems. History doesn't wait for hesitation.

This week's cover story: The race to God Mode, by @brunomacaes.bsky.social China and America’s AI battle is about more than just tech supremacy – it’s about controlling the future.

“It’s the Silicon Valley, technocratic authoritarianism that has developed over the past ten years”. @brunomacaes.bsky.social on the ideology of Trump 2.0. “It’s a very ideological Trump”.

My new piece on Europe’s moment of supreme danger www.newstatesman.com/internationa...

I am fascinated by the historical moments when the preeminent statesman and preeminent thinker of the time actually meet. Maybe will write a book on one of them

Biden is now announcing he transformed the US into an oligarchy. Together with a genocide these are real and lasting … achievements
