"Here’s the thing about #fascism: it never ends well...
Every #authoritarian regime in #history has eventually turned on the #business community that initially supported it. The oligarchs who think they can control the dictator always end up learning the hard way that the #dictator controls them...
Dictators don’t share power. They accumulate it. And when they’re done using you, they discard you—or worse."

"Here’s something else you might not have considered: innovation requires trust... institutional trust. People need to believe that contracts will be enforced, that property rights will be protected, that the rules won’t change arbitrarily...
#Authoritarian systems are fundamentally unpredictable. The rules change based on the leader’s mood, personal vendettas, or political needs... When #political favor matters more than #legal precedent, no one can plan for the future"
"Want to know what really kills innovation? #BrainDrain. And nothing drives brain drain like encroaching #fascism...
The #UnitedStates became the global #innovation leader in part because... we had something other countries didn’t: a stable, democratic system where merit mattered more than connections, where you could build something without worrying that tomorrow’s political winds might destroy everything you’ve worked for.
But that’s been trashed."

"the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs... slowly nod along to the idea that #democracy is holding back #innovation...
It seems like it might be useful to point out how incredibly dangerous and counterproductive that utter nonsense is. The idea of a benevolent #dictator... is appealing for those who can’t think more than a step or two ahead and consider what happens next."

Given Donald Trump is a narcissistic attention seeker (among other things), the media is doing a good job of fulfilling his desire to be talked about everywhere;
Each morning when I survey the morning's news, I'm going to say around a third of the headlines are news about, or speculation on, what Donald Trump has or might do.
He has become *the* global news story whatever else is going on, not least as he is complicit in some much of the disruption news media need/want to report!
the problem with automation isn’t what we automate, but why. right now it’s all about profit and production.
instead of freeing us, it traps us in guilt for not being “productive.”
we need to shift our values, so we can reclaim our time and live more fully beyond endless consumption.

CBS Blindsides Stephen Colbert by Canceling ‘The Late Show’
Paramount, CBS’ parent company, is on the verge of being acquired by Skydance—a move that requires the approval of the Federal Communications Commission.
Paramount recently settled a $16 million lawsuit with... Trump, which was—on its face—about a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, but which many saw as a way to grease the wheels for the FCC’s approval.

Martin Sandbu (FT) identifies four myths about wealth taxes:
Its too hard to do - well that hasn't stopped both Switzerland & Norway doing it (pretty well);
It won't actually raise much money - both countries above it raises substantial revenue;
It will scare the rich away - well it seldom does & then often they go to Switzerland (err, that has wealth taxes);
It will depress investment - no evidence backs up this claim.
So there we have it; wealth taxes are clearly possible!
This is how you write a headline:
Trump just delivered a word salad speech that would’ve got Biden impeached
In a few short remarks, the president revealed he has very little knowledge of the U.S. economy; is incapable of remembering where his own representatives or aides are and cannot stay awake during an early afternoon public appearance

The New York Times Finally Stops Avoiding The G-Word
by #CaitlinJohnstone
Jul 15, 2025
The #NewYorkTimes has published an op-ed by a genocide scholar who says that he resisted acknowledging the truth of what #Israel is doing in #Gaza for as long as he could, but can no longer deny the obvious.It’s an admission that may as well have come from The New York Times itself.
In an article titled “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”, a Brown University professor of Holocaust and #genocide studies named #OmerBartov argues that “Israel is literally trying to wipe out #Palestinian existence in Gaza,” and denounces his fellow #Holocaust scholars for failing to acknowledge reality.

And so the reality of running a council & the views of ReformUK have (without much delay) collided, as Kent Country Council discover the sending migrant workers home might have a major impact on the ability of the council to deliver social care..... oh dear, reality has bit them in the bum.
Instead of contemplating how their economies can accommodate Trump tariffs, western nations should be collectively applying matching reciprocal tariffs, and if necessary, cutting off all trade AND sanctioning the US government for its introduction of concentration camps and their planned expansions.
Time to tell Trump to get f**ked so the US can solve its own problems internally instead of dragging the whole planet into the sewer with them.

So, the proscribing of Palestine Action has now led to the arrests of 100 people since the proscription just over a week ago... all peaceful demonstrators.
This is the chilling effect on democracy Yvette Cooper (aided and abetted by most MPs) has bought about... Cooper & her fellow travellers have demonstrated a contempt for democratic protest, that is going to be become increasingly clear.

Some dangerous but frequently expressed myths spotted in the media:
Wealth trickles down from the rich.... (it doesn't);
The state is like a household & must therefore 'balance the books'.... (it isn't & doesn't);
The poor have only themselves to blame...(no, poverty is often due to external factors);
The rich got there through hard work.... (no, mostly the rich have either benefitted form inheritance or have, unacknowledged, good luck)....
Just sayin'
I once heard stories about the #japanese #internmentcamps of WW2 when I was younger, and I was glad to think I'd never see that again where I lived.
Land of the Free, right?
Yet here I sit looking at #aligatorauschwitz hearing stories of magot filled food, and people being sent there for minor infractions...
...It looks remarkably similar and it's horrifying.
Though instead of being at #war with #japan we're at war with the #world as the #usa loses its crown.
I would like to recommend this movie to you which on the surface is a fantasy horror movie but I like the hidden ethics where it's about the pharmaceutical industry and who has access to medicine: themoviedb.org/movie/1153714-d…
