Modern conservative governance, not just in the UK, has failed to address the significant social, ecological, and economic changes facing our global society.

Unfortunately, despite these shortcomings, the fear of change and a reluctance to embrace progress ensure that conservatives won’t easily lose elections. It’s a recurring pattern seen not only in the UK but also mirrored globally. The past 13+ years of Tory rule highlight the challenges of an electorate that seems somewhat ignorant and self-centered.

Scary. The one I found from my city is a medical doctor with a good reputation. Fucking Nazis hiding good.

Since Ariel Sharon, conservative ideologies have been deeply ingrained in Israeli politics, and Netanyahu’s resignation may not bring about a fundamental shift in this longstanding trend.

The political landscape has been characterized by continuity, and despite changes in leadership, the core ideologies often persist. The implications for the lives of Israelis and Palestinians might not undergo a substantial transformation.

Obligatory: Fuck Hamas and Netanyahu

When fascism gains ground and democrats adjust their rhetoric, how much value does democracy and human rights have in our world?

It’s begun. Elon Musk(ovitch) has already disseminated anti-Semitic and false information to his followers in a now-deleted Twitter post.

I’m more concerned about the potential dangers of uncontrolled neoliberalism aligning with fascism than a society striving for equal rights and environmental protection.

It’s bewildering how people can demonize socialism while facing daily struggles to make ends meet in an unhinged capitalist society.

Right-wing ideologies have a pattern of shifting narratives, moving from targeting migrants to trans individuals and, historically, escalating to scapegoating Jews. It’s a repetition of history, infiltrating our tolerant societies with intolerance.

Stop supporting these ideologies at the polls. Speak out online. Don’t stay silent. The right appears stronger than it is when a few vocal individuals and bots freely spread their views online.

Absolutely, targeting activism towards the lifestyles of the rich is a crucial step in addressing the issue of higher CO2 emissions and climate change. It’s not about vilifying individuals, but rather recognizing that certain lifestyles contribute significantly to environmental harm.

Focusing solely on the lower and middle class isn’t the solution, as they are the ones who often bear the brunt of climate change impacts and economic adjustments. What might be considered “luxury” for them is often just basic necessities, and their livelihoods are directly affected by climate-related changes.

On the other hand, the elite and super elites can afford to make substantial changes to their lifestyles without sacrificing their basic needs. Cutting back on private flights, yachts, and excessive consumption won’t significantly impact their quality of life. Their choices to reduce their environmental footprint can send a powerful message and create a domino effect, encouraging positive change on a larger scale.

This doesn’t mean demonizing anyone; it’s about promoting awareness and responsibility. We need systemic changes, and these should start from the top down. By targeting the source of excessive consumption and promoting sustainable choices among the rich, we can create a more equitable and sustainable future for everyone.

Fortunately for Glukhovsky, he is not actually in Russia, and was sentenced in absentia. His current whereabouts are unknown.

I hate clickbait.

Interestingly, it’s still debated if it was necessary to drop not one but two awful bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

More left-wing positions argue Japan was already on the brink of surrendering. Here is one publication summing it up pretty well m:

As General Dwight Eisenhower said, Japan was at that moment seeking some way to surrender with minimum loss of face, and “it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”

Saving face meant for one part of the Japanese military to keep the Emporer untouched. On the other hand, the Japanese military, contrary to the Japanese government:

[…]wanted to keep not just the emperor but to avoid an Allied occupation, disarmament, and war crimes trials.[…] They were determined to fight a final, all-out “decisive battle” to bleed the United States invaders until the Americans sued for peace.

We can at least say, whether you agree with the necessity of the use of atomic bombs on Japan, that humankind never again should make use of an atomic bomb.

Here is a GIF to remember (and look up the NSFW version of it…

We are over the edge of no return.

We should stop begging for change and act now. Politics must hurt them with reforms, taxes, and the rule of law.

We cannot stop climate change now, but we can try to de-accelerate by fighting against big oil, corrupt politics, and billionaire newspapers supporting them.

We are somehow still not panicking and see that as a point of no return for climate change. These temperatures are still the lowest ones we will experience from now on.

Hopefully, some ignorant people or even climate change deniers will switch their positions and actually support green policies now.
