Because he's not a person, he's merely the living personification of capital itself.
Exactly why I try to read news from publications like this and The Economist. They're right wing ghouls who are very explicit in their ghoulishness, and you can pinpoint the propaganda because they'll just tell you most of the time. Ultimately the people who read this kind of news, unlike say the NY Times, are mostly people plugged into the circuits of capital and power. You can't make money if you don't actually know what's going on.
Yeah this was the status quo, Presidents acting as presidents are never held accountable for their crimes. We're just in the "say the quiet part out loud" phase in the West.
Would you vote for a dead chimpanzee's excised brain tumor over Biden?
Spy x Family is extremely popular and is centered on adults, and all the children that are in the series aren't sexualised in any capacity. Refreshing tbh
Note this is only the first round. The fascists are probably going to win, but I expect most races to go into a run-off where it'll be the RN vs the NPF (the left coalition) as the centrists come in third and have to drop out. Then things get really interesting, because the French will vote between fascists and the left. The left could come out on top, depending on how much voters can stomach Le Pen.
Coups seem to work just fine in many places. All the coups in the Sahel went great, albeit most were initiated by a young officer corps.
Macron in a lot of ways seems to be following the Obama playbook. He's a young, by most accounts competent manager of an empire in decline wedded to his neoliberal ways while espousing hope and change. Due to the fact that neoliberalism can't actually do anything besides make a small circle of people an immense amount of money, the state atrophies anyway and brings about mass support for the far-right as the only viable alternative. Macron and Obama both will leave office having done their best to make sure a fascist government gets elected.
Seeing SOPHIE live was insane. There was like a cage of women crawling over each other and making out behind her. A singer just started stripping onstage as she belted out some heavenly shit. SOPHIE hovered over it all like some deity blasting us with divine bass. I was the only cis person for miles it felt like. One of the greatest sets I've ever been to.
Glad this is a posthumous release that's being handled respectfully and appropriately by the right folks. Having new SOPHIE in 2024 is a fever dream.
so this is random but lorde hopped on a charli xcx song about her and this is like my personal 9/11 but in reverse because it's good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q3K6FPzY18
Yeah I think Horne does a phenomenal job at showing that while the "traditional" reasons for the revolution may be valid for the north, the south broadly joined not because of taxes but over fears of abolition. Still cannot believe that Florida was actually a British possession during the revolution and specifically did not join the United States because it was filled with runaway slaves who would kill the colonial government if they tried to join. Blew my mind that I did not realise Florida was a British possession at the time.
