“The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way.” (George Monbiot)

Of course, it’s only come to this due to the lack of #taxReform , progressive social #legislation , and #FinancialRegulation action from all govt since the 2008 #GFC . #Neoliberalism ,#CorporateCapitalism and #Globalisation have been left unfettered to carry on this foolish race to the bottom.

A trolley problem for the modern day:

"You stand in front of a magic machine. It has a number display showing a 1, a button that adds a 0 to the displayed number, and a leaver that will kill the number of richest people in the world as shown on the display.
How many 0s do you add to the number before pulling the leaver?" 🤔

"Inspired by the political philosopher Albert Hirschman, figures including Goff, Thiel and the investor and writer Balaji Srinivasan have been championing what they call “exit” – the principle that those with means have the right to walk away from the obligations of citizenship, especially taxes and burdensome regulation. Retooling and rebranding the old ambitions and privileges of empires, they dream of splintering governments and carving up the world into hyper-capitalist, democracy-free havens under the sole control of the supremely wealthy, protected by private mercenaries, serviced by AI robots and financed by cryptocurrencies."
...
Our opponents know full well that we are entering an age of emergency, but have responded by embracing lethal yet self-serving delusions. Having bought into various apartheid fantasies of bunkered safety, they are choosing to let the Earth burn. Our task is to build a wide and deep movement, as spiritual as it is political, strong enough to stop these unhinged traitors. A movement rooted in a steadfast commitment to one another, across our many differences and divides, and to this miraculous, singular planet."

"Despite the absence of large-scale violent protests, organized insurrectionist groups, or prominent rebellion leaders, a persistent narrative has emerged in government risk assessments, think tank reports, and foreign diplomatic circles: the United States may be headed toward civil conflict or systemic fracture"

A U.S. Border Patrol officer walks alongside a child near patrol vehicles in Ciudad Juárez, 2025. As military and immigration enforcement powers expand under the Trump administration, questions arise about the blurred line between security and sovereignty.
eirenicon llcWeaponized or Reformed?The 2025 Trump Administration and the Fragile Boundaries of Federal Power In the early months of 2025, the actions of the Trump administration have reignited a critical national conversation: when does reform become weaponization? As President Donald Trump implements sweeping changes across federal agencies, observers are left asking whether these moves reflect a genuine attempt […]

Krugman:

“The stench of corruption around these policies keeps getting stronger. There’s a lot of circumstantial evidence for massive insider trading around last week’s tariff announcement;

the big beneficiaries from the latest move are companies that made big donations to Trump.

Investing in plant and equipment looks like a bad idea given the uncertainty, but investing in bribes… yields excellent returns.”
