I have no idea what went on behind the scenes.
What is clear however, is that the Swiss authorities look like pants-on-head morons, as well as fascists, for letting him in at the border and then arresting him 1930s-style less than 36 hours later.
And by the way, so do you. You look like a pants-on-head moron and a fascist for defending them.
Apologies again, but that is nonsense.
The NZZ ran a defamatory hit piece and then this journalist, a 53 year old man mind you, was suddenly plucked off the street by plainclothes cops.
They questioned him at the airport on arrival and then let him in initially.
I’m sorry but the NZZ are full blown fascists and disgusting liars.
the word is plainclothes cops slammed him to the ground and handcuffed him brutally on the way to a teach-in
how does one “devour” gas?

I understand and share your frustration, but honestly my favourite marx quote is the one where he says: nothing human is alien to me
i think via the roman terence or smth
takes the sting out of my frustrations, which i find helpful
but I am sympathetic to an extent, running into the wall in such a way is a marker of good faith imo, particularly if you’re willing to reflect publicly afterwards
very funny story ngl, starry eyed lib walks straight into the glass wall and is still kinda traumatised
edit: finally a place for the rosa quote, as it’s a good example: if you don’t move you won’t notice your chains
right on, great work yog
well of course, but there were surprisingly high voted comments criticising blinken quite strongly
it is the financial times after all comrade, I don’t look to those comments to give me what I find here
edit: if you’ll notice on the 8bn for israel article comments are turned off (in the FT) lmaooo
check out the comments on this one, I was pretty surprised
very interesting perspective thanks for writing it out
I was talking to someone recently, who was like “yeah we’ll have a ceasefire, raise NATO spending to 3% and rearm ukraine in the meantime.” I was fucking incredulous to hear this in real life…
Do you really think the Russians would accept a ceasefire that allows for that under the circumstances? AFTER MINSK???
Quite apart from the fact that if you are arguing (or more likely pretending to argue) from the ukrainian interest, it is completely incoherent. Such a strategy spells doom for ukraine
surely as it trends to zero they bullshit the numbers
too many high falutin careers and far, far too much money hinged on the growth mythos
having stripped “democratic” capitalism back to bare bones, growth is also the final carrot left in the carrot arsenal of democracy
it’ll be all sticks and lies from here on out
European NATO allies have begun hitting 2% targets in recent years and there are heated debates about going way above that in multiple capitals.

I will note that in the UK case the situation described in the picture is particularly grotesque, if you consider the development of food bank statistics. The Trussel Trust distributed 3.1 million food parcels in 2023/2024, of these 1.1 million to children.
In 2008/2009 the number of parcels distributed was 26’000.
