L'ouvrage de Jasper Bernes qui va sortir le mois prochain est un outil absolument excellent pour tous ceux qui voudraient comprendre non seulement l'histoire détaillée et les débats internes de la tradition dite d'ultragauche, mais aussi les conditions concrètes de toute révolution à venir.

"The trenches that cut scars across hundreds of miles of the front are still essential for defense, but today most soldiers die or lose limbs to remote-controlled aircraft rigged with explosives, many of them lightly modified hobby models."

The End of Children Birth rates are crashing around the world. Should we be worried?

"the population implosion"

Not a day goes by without the establishment press publishing an article about declining fertility rates in the capitalist core.

I'm writing something substantial on this phenomenon, details of which I hope to share soon.

it's never going to stop being hilarious that so many pundits, and not a few on the US "left," characterized the MAGA movement as "populist" in character.

"China — which processes nearly 90 percent of rare earths worldwide — holds a “near monopoly” over this step in the supply chain...Most major rare earth producers, including the U.S., lack the domestic know-how or infrastructure needed to refine the minerals, forcing them to rely on Beijing."

anyway, the move fast and break things circus seems amateurish & likely cover for the usual grift, spiced up with some pimply nihilism. If they happen to disrupt the functioning of defense, ICE, DoJ, etc., no tears. And who knows what can of worms is being opened up? what scenarios made plausible?

I once heard Hent de Vries say something like radical undecidability is that between Christ and the anti-Christ. Scratched my chin, but maybe?

Surely the new gang in charge (?) in DC has a role for Blake Masters? Plug him in anywhere, he's perfect, but Secretary of Schoolboy Nihilism fits best.

Nice! I am waiting to get a revied copy, hopefully later this week. Have made some notes a few pieces I'd read before, though. A lot of (seemingly) disparate material. I am eager to see which threads you tug on. If you want fresh eyes...

ask yourself this simple question: are near-future roving bands of 19 yo communist coders organized into expropriating "strike teams" more, or less, plausible than they were two months ago?
