At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politiciansā surrender to the super-rich | George Monbiot
There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments donāt tackle the problem because they donāt want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Counterpoint: itās not critical. Itās just burning up investment and pushing back against cooperation in participation in the US global economic project. If the data centres were for storing NFTs for US companies, Iran would still have attacked them.

If Israel wants to fight terrorism, it can start right at home by shutting down illegal West Bank settlements and prosecuting Israeli terrorist murderers. Having real enemies like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah cannot become a justification for descending into barbarism.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The ignorance excuse just gets weaker and weaker after so many harmless groups were abused using the same arguments - all now debunked for anyone but the most foolish. It's not 1935. Or even 1985. You don't get to say, "I see it now. But you have to understand, at the time..." Transphobia is BS.

r/askhistorians provides the best account of why we have no real evidence of Europeans intentionally using psilocybin mushrooms historically. One important factor is the lack of need for any paraphernalia in using them and the unlikelihood of any preserved remnants. Still strange.
