It brings out the worst in MANkind, including war, and the spending on Guns instead of Butter. When I say Guns, I mean huge monstrosities they call football stadiums. This is a criminal waste of resources. And so, it seems, we are back to the Guns and Butter argument.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:48:44 +0000Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:47:18 +0000Hahahaha,Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:46:15 +0000The message from the Dem's double down on far left candidates.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:46:14 +0000Yes.

Okay, all you Muskrat defenders—are you on the payroll? Think he’s going to kick you a nickel? Ha!] Is it bad that Elon Musk has a trillion dollars? Ingrid Robeyns The Guardian: 17 Jun 2024 It was bound to happen eventually: Elon Musk has become the planet’s first trillionaire. Until recently, economists who spoke about “trillions” were describing the GDP of the world’s largest economies. But now we have entered a new phase of the oligarchic era. Previously, when we described the wealth of the world’s richest billionaires, it was understood as a few hundred billions. Three years ago, the value of Musk’s total assets was estimated to be about $250bn. The pace at which it has increased is mind-boggling – and so is what it represents. We need to know two things about trillionaires: what a trillion dollars exactly stands for, and why this level of wealth concentration is dangerous. What wage would Musk have to be on to amass a trillion dollars? The answer is that, even if he worked 70 hours a week from age 20 to 75 and took no holidays, his pay rate would need to be about $5m an hour. By way of comparison, the median hourly wage in the US is just under $25. A second argument against billionaires and trillionaires is wastefulness. There is no point in an individual having so much money, and it is scandalous, given that many people die prematurely or live stunted lives with very few opportunities, simply because the richest take the lion’s share of the wealth that we as societies produce together.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:44:02 +0000I’m free.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:44:01 +0000Women and gaysThu, 18 Jun 2026 11:43:52 +0000Animals are not subjected to the same principles of free will as humans.

Original URL in title. [Opinion. I’m not a “progressive” and certainly not a milque-toast Liberal. I’m a radical and so is Palestine Action. The Belfast riots, Palestine Action protests. What is terrorism now – and why the hypocrisy? George Monbiot The Guardian: 17 Jun 2026 If you are targeting people on the basis of the colour of their skin,” the Northern Ireland secretary, Hilary Benn, asked last week, “how else can you describe them? That is racist thuggery.” It is. But there is another way of describing the actions of the rioters burning people out of their homes in Belfast, though ministers somehow cannot bring themselves to say it. Terrorism. Instead, the term is largely reserved by ministers for those who challenge Israel’s actions in Gaza. Matching the official definition to the Palestine Action protests is a far tougher call than matching it to the Belfast riots. But while more than 3,000 people have now been arrested for holding up signs in support of the banned group, and many face terrorism charges, no one in Belfast or Southampton has been charged with terrorist offences. If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV. Damaging military equipment in the hope of preventing its deployment, especially in illegal wars, has long been treated as an act of civil disobedience motivated by conscience, and some juries have acquitted on this basis. The court of appeal judgment managed to cast protest as terrorism and terrorism as protest. Palestine Action “is not, as it claims, a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open”. What??? Did the suffragettes plan their bombings, arson and assassination attempts – far more extreme than anything Palestine Action has contemplated – in open meetings in Parliament Square? The judges stated that banning Palestine Action “will not prevent any or all demonstrations targeted at Elbit”, an arms manufacturer supplying the Israel Defense Forces, whose factories in Britain have been a primary focus for the group. Well, two days earlier, John Woodcock, the government’s former anti-extremism tsar, called for the ban to be extended to the protest group People Against Genocide, which has blocked the gates of Elbit factories. The slippage had already begun. It could go much further. At Woolwich crown court at the end of last week, four Palestine Action protesters who broke into an Elbit factory were sentenced as terrorists. The astonishing aspect of this case? They were not charged, tried or convicted as terrorists.Thu, 18 Jun 2026 11:33:04 +0000Thais don't view all farangs as bad just because of tv or media. They know lots of Thais are bad too.
