Netanyahu out

mardi 15 juin 2021 à 02:00

*Israeli coalition ousts Netanyahu as prime minister after 12 years.*

Netanyahu's great achievement was to eliminate Israel's will to make peace with Palestine, and replace it with the will to subjugate Palestinians for ever.

He has postponed dealing with the corruption charges against him by being prime minister. With luck, the prosecution will soon start and prevent him from holding that office again.

G-zero world

Economic weakness

mardi 15 juin 2021 à 02:00

The US conquest an occupation of Iraq were one cause of its economic weakness, which is enabling China to move towards dominating the world.

I think that its plutocratist decadence is, however, another cause. (The two are related.)

If this were no more than a matter of competition between countries, I would say, "Let the (most capable) country and system win." The reason I don't say that is that China would impose a totalitarian hell.

Predatory lending

mardi 15 juin 2021 à 02:00

A new form of predatory lending lures women into improvidence by inviting them to imagine the bliss of never worrying about whether you can afford something. Such bliss can be yours in an instant with one-click borrowing.

You will still need to worry about how much you are spending, but you will fail to do what you need.

Imagine when someone combines this with the prosperity gospel. "Start borrowing now, and since you're a good Christian, your debt will miraculously pay itself. If it doesn't? You must not be a good enough Christian."

I'm richer than you! infinity loop
