A lawless new order: The destruction of societies and civilisations on a large scale.

* "A new normal where the eradication of infrastructure, agriculture, cities and towns fit for habitation and entire cultures, is acceptable to much of the world as a method of war." >>

Is this what war looks like now?

Before the war on Gaza, the seed of Israel’s strategy of wholesale destruction was planted in a 2006 war on Lebanon. Today, the playbook repeats itself

Quando la memoria della vittima adotta il linguaggio del carnefice | il manifesto

Israele (Commenti) C’è una macabra ironia nella cronaca che arriva dal nord della Galilea e dai confini con Gaza. Mentre i radar intercettano droni e i bambini nelle scuole elementari sostituiscono l’ora di disegno con le esercitazioni nei rifugi, la società israeliana sembra vittima di quel «guasto tecnico» di cui scriveva la satira egiziana anni fa, come

Social cohesion and white supremacy in Australia

"Australia does have a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent."

"Since the voice to parliament referendum emboldened the right, racists and bots swarm like flies on a turd to any Indigenous topic."

"The terror and violence usually happens on a case-by-case basis these days."

"When the Bondi royal commission was announced, there were loud calls for anti-Indigenous racism to be addressed, as well as antisemitism. The racism we endure, is, after all, as Australian as meat pies and Holden cars."

‘A white man’s fantasy’: if we want to rebuild social cohesion, we need to acknowledge where it all started to unravel

Australia has a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent. Koori civilisation has been torn asunder ever since the convict ships dropped anchor

Min. 18: #dehumanisation, "three parts" working #definition on
"what it is in the #mind of the person doing #dehumanization and what it is to the person who's on the receiving end of that. [...]

- It is the #CognitiveState of failing to perceive another human as fully human.

- It is the acts that express that cognitive state or otherwise entail the assertion that another human is not fully human.

- And then finally it's the #experience of being subjected to those acts by someone else."

“Because They’re Animals”: Donald Trump, the War on Iran, and the Rules Nobody’s Enforcing

Operation Epic Fury" sounds like it was coined by a fourteen-year-old playing too much Call of Duty. In many ways, it's a perfect fit for the Peter Pan that Donald Trump has running the Pentagon. Urban Wronski on the War of Donald's Ear — how two homicidal maniacs borrowed one very willing ear, and launched a war.

“We're going to have to reject #dehumanisation of opponents. We're going to have to move beyond “enemy” #narratives. We're going to have to emphasise cooperation and respect, and we're going to have to reduce the drivers of conflict.”

The new world order is here, and neoliberalism is dead

The world order is changing. Military power no longer guarantees victory, economic warfare is replacing invasion, and identity politics is proving stronger than force. In this video, I explain why the old assumptions of geopolitics — that superpowers always win, that regime change can be imposed from outside, that missiles...

Agriculture businessman David Farley and Hanson’s candidate "...likened former prime minister Julia Gillard to a “non-productive old cow” that should be destroyed ..."

The Narrandera-based irrigator mentioned the country’s first female leader while talking about "cows being destroyed using new abattoir technology."

“So it’s designed for non-productive old cows. Julia Gillard’s got to watch out.”

Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts

"The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls."
