Ich hab die letzten Tage keine Nachrichten gelesen, daher jetzt ein "the fucked-up news of the past few days, as told by a slightly hungover, aging communist fag"-đ§ľ
1. "Dt. Klimabilanz: Immerhin dem Wald geht's besser"đ¤Śââď¸
Wie ein Arzt, der sagt: "Sie haben Darmkrebs, aber ihr Schnupfen ist besser!"
https://taz.de/Deutsche-Klimabilanz/!6162459/
2. "Trump has expressed surprise that US allies in the Gulf have been targeted by Iran."
That headline made me snort with laughter, but there's also something serious in it: the Iranian regime sucks hard, but they did their prep-work for this catastrophe, and now have AGENCY.
Let's remember that.
https://dailypost.ng/2026/03/15/war-i-have-been-surprised-trump-opens-up-on-irans-strategy/
President of the United States of America Donald Trump has expressed surprise that US allies in the Gulf have been targeted by Iran. Trump described this as the 'biggest surprise of the whole thing.' Trump told NBC News that he is "surprised" that Iran has chosen to hit US allies in the Gulf in the
3. "US oil groups in line for $63bn windfall from Gulf war disruption".
That's the sort of thing that makes capitalism so amazingly resilient & powerful: no matter what happens, no matter how many thousands die, SOMEONE's gonna make a buck out of it.
Credit, where credit is due - literally.

4. Endlich geht's mit dem #Klimaschutz - also dem strukturellen Umbau der dt. Wirtschaft hin zu einer nichtfossilen, nichtwachsenden KreislaufĂśkonomie - so richtig los!
"Klimawandel in den Alpen: Die Bereitschaft zum Nichtduschen wächst"
đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Śââď¸đ¤Ž

5. You can count on my beloved @FinancialTimes to tell you precisely where the Guillotine should fall:
"How to live the superyacht dream in the Seychelles: The 77-metre Aqua Lares once belonged to the boss of Google but a new owner is making it (slightly) more accessible."

6. Unpopular opinion: Habermas' late work was mostly a repentant ex-lefty telling the German bourgeois mainstream how to feel good about itself, without going through all that "transformation/revolution"-stuff.
Also: his theory of communication is wrong.
Still, rest in peace. It's been a long road.

7. "Sie ruiniert Klima & Wirtschaft"!
Die grĂźne Mitte hat 1 neuen Beelzebub: Katharina Reiche. Die Arbeit, die bisher "die Lobbies" schaffen mussten (fĂźr alles PĂśse verantwortlich zu sein, das in D passiert), macht jetzt ein Mensch!
Sie ist die perfekte Projektionsfigur, weià das, & nutzt es aus! Fällt doch nicht ganz so einfach darauf rein.

8. Fascism is the continuation of neoliberalism by other means:
"Trump administration to be paid $10bn for brokering TikTok deal"
As "democratic" means of concentrating wealth in the hands of the super-rich fail, other, more creative ways to take everything yourself have to be found...
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/14/tiktok-trump-administration-10bn
9. & while we're all staring at the price of petrol & heating, the Israeli settler-fascist terror regime continues to commit war crimes, & we don't care:
"Israel killed 12 medical workers in a strike on a medical centre in south Lebanon. 31 healthcare staff have been killed over the past 12 days."
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/14/lebanon-israeli-rockets-kill-healthcare-workers
10. Bullies and assholes always expect someone else to clean up their shit. Believe me, I come from a class of bullies and assholes.
"Trump urges China, UK and Japan to send warships to open Strait of Hormuz."
"I broke it, now you fix it!"
https://www.ft.com/content/4dd2173b-b283-41e4-8dee-4f04919dea68
11. "Renewable jet fuel may face price war with China, warns top producer" - "renewable jet fuel", aka "SAF - sustainable aviation fuel is about a common and as a real as rainbow unicorn piss.
Repeat after me: there is no "sustainable" aviation. Full stop. https://www.ft.com/content/f498c0c0-38bb-4a02-a476-f28e1b0b98ec
12. One of the few fun stories to watch: how Trump is ripping up his own #MAGA-power-base.
"Trump adviser calls for US to âdeclare victory & get outâ of Iran: Remarks by AI & crypto tsar David Sacks show anti-war sentiment in presidentâs Maga coalition."
https://www.ft.com/content/a85cb6eb-4b83-48bc-be34-fb76ef5989c3
13.1.
#Assholisation = the rise of vice signalling, performative cruelty & nastiness: "What is worrying today is the willingness of the powerful to dispense with even cursory attempts to put a legal gloss on their actions. The open contempt for the law is shown not just in words but in actions."
14. "FCC chair threatens to throttle news broadcasts over âhoaxesâ about Iran war
Brendan Carr posts that he may cancel spectrum permits of âmainstream newsâ outlets for âmisleadingâ coverage.
The #NorthKoreanization of the US continues to proceed apace...
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/14/fcc-broadcast-permits-iran-war-news
15. #Arschlochisierung, BaWĂź-Style: ein mĂśglicher Minister in "Cems" Kabinett, "der parteilose TĂźbinger OB Boris Palmer, hat bekräftigt, dass er queeren Aktivismus als Gefahr fĂźr die Gesellschaft ansieht, der zu 'BlutvergieĂen' fĂźhren kĂśnne."
Lektion: WIR sind schuld, wenn WIR getĂśtet werden.

16. "How Iranâs fightback surprised the US: Tehran has done more with less as it hit major targets around the Gulf"
I keep wondering: "don't Americans remember Vietnam?", & then realise: right-wing Americans DON'T remember Vietnam, verdräng it, because the symbol Vietnam means "our power is limited".
https://www.ft.com/content/0c085046-6cfa-4832-a764-d79f41225b1f
17. "Global oil markets are suffering 'largest supply disruption in history' due to war in Iran."
Now I get, warum die hopiumist*innen jetzt noch lauter ABER DIE ERNEUERBAREN rufen: der Iran-Krieg demonstriert die weiterhin ungebrochene Macht des fossilen Kapitalismus, durch unsere Abhängigkeit.
https://www.ft.com/content/32726bce-ec4e-4251-8f33-10c15806fbc6
18. #talkcollapse:
"Almost a third of main roads into Greater London, 40 per cent into Birmingham and more than half into Greater Manchester are at risk of being disrupted by river flooding."
https://www.ft.com/content/1536e0b7-5555-4ee6-85bc-8bdc62617446
19. These: Das Coming Out der #Arschlochgesellschaft = die Normalisierung schamfreier Menschenverachtung.
Beleg: "'Es ist wieder salonfähig, gegen Minderheiten zu hetzen', sagt Antiziganismus-Beauftragter."
Der Antiziganismus-Beauftragte und CDU-Politiker Michael Brand sieht einen gesellschaftlichen RĂźckschritt im Umgang mit Minderheiten. Er will positive Sichtbarkeit fĂźr Sinti und Roma.
