Well, wel, well... Apparently, #ToxicIndividualism is a thing! So sick of leaders and followers who don't understand how everything is #Interconnected! #TrueEvil! (In my #Jungian interpretation, "That which separates us from God / #Nature / Each Other").
#MAGA #RightWing #ToxicMasculinity #Patriarchy #RWLibertarians #LackOfCompassion #PowerStructures #BadLeaders
Well, I think that being able to gt rid of bad leaders and make them accountable would be a start. Also, I suspect the best leaders are those who don't want the job, but rise to the occasion to help fix what's not working or for the common good. Bad leaders usually want the attention / adoration/ power. Good leaders shun that and just want to do the right thing. imho
Next up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).
I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.
Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.
And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.
Re-reading "#UtopianSocialism - Its History Since 1800" by #LeoLoubere (published in 1974). In particular, chapter 6, which deals with "experimental communities" and why they fail -- citing #Capitalism, lack of practical knowledge, and how cooperation and #MutualAid were needed for communities to survive. And also how defense (against others, protecting crops, etc.), and leaders who aren't forceful are also necessary.
Ahhhh. And some truly lighter reading. The last printed issue of the Farmer's Almanac (in print since 1818). I will miss their tips and tricks as well as topics like natural pest control, #Hygge, herbs of the month, how to make #Switchel, and #Gardening tips. I noticed they also acknowledged #ClimateChange and #WeatherExtremes, and highlighted #EmergencyPreparedness.

Non-Fiction Trilogy of sorts - "#TheLimitsToGrowth; #PowerLimitsAndProspectsForHumanSurvival; and #EarthForAllASurvivalGuideForHumanity.
So, my copy of "The Limits To Growth" is a first edition from 1972, which I bought in a used book store in 1980. Whoever owned it before ("Denison") highlighted a bunch of stuff (the old school highlighters that don't fade), and put zig-zag lines around this paragraph: "In any finite system there must be constraints that can act to stop exponential growth. These constraints are negative feedback loops. The negative loops become stronger and stronger as growth approches the ultimate limit, or carrying capacity, of the system's environment. Finally, the negative loops balance or dominate the positive ones, and growth comes to an end. In the world system the negative feedback loops involve such processes as pollution of the environment, depletion of nonrenewable resources, and famine."
Fast forward to 2021, where one of the Limits To Growth authors, #DennisMeadows, describes #RichardHeinberg's "Power - Limits And Prospects for Human Survival" as "a powerful new way of understanding the historic rise and probable fall of our species. It is an impressive, sweeping, and thought-provoking narrative." Heinberg talks about how we got to where we are today (lots of history), but also offers solutions (like #Agroecology and #Degrowth).
Finally, "#EarthForAll - A Survival Guide For Humanity" -- which was a report to the #ClubOfRome, and a 50 year follow-up to Limits To Growth. This book is where I learned about the #GiantLeapScenario that we so need to survive as a species on a viable planet.
Limits To Growth influenced my thinking at a young age. "Power" explains how we went wrong, and "Earth For All" gives me hope for the future.

Platforms are the dominant religions of our time—not replacing belief, but centralizing authority.
Algorithms replace scripture.
Metrics replace virtue.
Terms replace commandments.
Moderation replaces clergy.
Guidelines replace doctrine.
Exile replaces damnation.
You don’t leave the platform.
You’re excommunicated from visibility.
That’s jurisdiction.

**English Translation:**
Zelensky as Netanyahu… An analysis of events… “The trap of mistakes and kompromat.”
It does not matter what exactly happened in Israel on 07 October.
Or rather — it matters a great deal, but not for the purpose of this analytical argument.
Whether it was an error, a staged event, a setup, a late reaction, a failure, a deliberate provocation meant to destroy Hamas and, as a consequence, the main target — Iran’s nuclear programme — or something else entirely… no longer plays an informational role.
What matters is that the event has already been written into the history of the planet and the country as a major tragedy with a huge number of victims.
And this is exactly how it will be perceived by most Israelis and their descendants in the future.
This means that the roles of certain political figures in these events have already been assigned — even if these roles were false, manipulated, or artificially imposed.
Netanyahu’s role in these events is widely viewed as deeply compromised.
He missed the threat despite numerous warnings.
After that, he fell into what can be called a “trap of mistakes and kompromat.”
By manipulating the timeline of events and the analysis of Netanyahu’s actions, one can exert serious influence over him and his government — which is exactly what is happening.
Netanyahu has become a subordinate figure to forces that possess the truth about the events and about his and his allies’ involvement.
It is even possible that these forces were the primary generator of the events themselves. This cannot be ruled out.
This is a very convenient form of kompromat and external pressure, because it is built on the victim’s own mistakes.
Netanyahu is now forced to maneuver and appease anyone capable of ending his political career — or worse.
This pressure drove him toward escalating not only a local conflict but a regional one, including cooperation in actions against Iran, even though such a war could be extremely dangerous for Israel and for Jewish communities globally.
And this danger has not disappeared.
But despite the risks, Netanyahu is now more interested than ever in prolonging the current phase of active conflict, because it postpones the judgement and the potential investigation of his role.
A similar pattern has emerged with Zelensky — though in a softer form at first glance.
A corruption scandal in such a vital sector undermined public trust in the government as a whole.
And this — during a brutal war consuming lives and resources.
However:
The West will deliberately forgive — and has already forgiven — this “indiscretion,” because it places Zelensky firmly on a hook he cannot escape.
In essence, Ukraine is shifting into full external governance, full dependency and dictated terms.
From now on, the collective West will run Ukraine. It will control budgets, kickbacks, and every major decision.
This is why in the near future the Ukrainian leadership will try to compensate with hyperactivity: counteroffensives despite losses, aggressive anti-corruption purges, harsher rhetoric domestically and internationally, arrests of Zelensky’s close allies, and even the elimination of key figures and witnesses.
Rotations in the army and government will follow.
Deportations of draft-eligible men back to Ukraine may begin, along with other measures that would have been unthinkable only a week earlier.
And above all:
At any moment, both the physical lives and the political clans of Netanyahu or Zelensky can be ended by a precisely guided missile or shell — not necessarily fired by an official enemy.
Everyone understands this — especially those tied into this system of mutual coercion.
This is why the conclusion is: these scandals and crises appear to be the work of a subtle and effective strategic centre — currently abstract, unseen — that has, through simple mechanisms, taken control over a significant European country with a not-insignificant military.
