Awesome work and so true in today's age!

Indeed...:-(
Many thanks, William!!!

This is sooooooooo true here in Finland today.

This is most unfortunately true everywhere, dearest. Ah, the joy of globalization...:-)
(Of course one should NOT be using the words "global" or "globalization" as they've both been classified as "antisemitic" -fuck knows why, tho'.)
How are you, me old china? How's things in the sunny North? Still all deliriously enthusiastic about joining NATO?

If Finland has Nato hangover, she is handling it alone and forlorn at home, presumably in underwear.

We certainly panicked when the war in Ukraine started (just as Russia doesn't call it simply war, we don't either, but use a unique and awfully cumbersome neologism "Russia's assault war into Ukraine"), and our Nato opinion changed overnight: we certainly had no trouble picking sides nor have had any qualms about throwing away lines that don't rhyme with our reason. The foreign policy authorities who used to warn us of the disadvantages of the "defense alliance" (yes, we have our own translation for that, too) are now called jerks, including our president.

Each and every day our afternoon papers have this same slavic, nicely balding cover boy for conducting/scheming/miscarrying villainy or just being plain terminally ill (I wonder how he's still alive with all his cancers), and our parliamentary Institute of International Affairs still dare to call their work research even if they only use one source, ISW.

Thanks Joerg.

Never ever give in. Screw all the puritanical bar stewards to hell and back. As Christopher Hitchens wrote "An old radical adage states that the will to command is not as corrupting as the will to obey." (I think he was quoting something by George Orwell, though I'm not 100% sure.)

(By the way, I hope it is the Last Days of Universal Capitalism. If it could collapse before *my* last days I would be eternally grateful.)

You've raised a massive grin, oh sharp Old Bird!
I've no intention of EVER giving in. Up, perhaps, but never in. And I'm far too old to keep my big mouth shut. Life's too short... :-)
Love your quote. Whether of Hitchens' or Orwell's is spot on. Its bad enough that there be "masters" but where would they be without the "slaves".
Fly silent, fly high, and stay sane.
PS. I, too, would love to see the crashing of Crapitaism, although it will not be a pretty sight.

Thanks Dude!

Poor old Finland... Then again, countries under the jackboot of the USA no longer "change sides" of their own accord. Their sides get changed by default and by decree by the Masters of the Universe...or else. :-)
Still, me old china, we've got to resist and bite for as long as our old dentures will last.
Alway so good to hear from you in any case, even if the news is not so good. :-) !

"An old radical adage states that the will to command is not as corrupting as the will to obey." Oui ! et David Icke a dit lors de la manif sur Trafalgar Square : "ce ne sont pas les fascistes qui imposent le fascisme, ils ne seraient pas assez nombreux, ce sont tous ceux qui obéissent au fascistes qui imposent le fascisme."
et Catherine Baker (née en 1949) "la seule lutte importante à mener c'est la lute contre la soumission, car sans elle le pouvoir quel qu'il soi est perdant"

The old adage is painfully right and accurate, worse luck...
Ditto David Icke and Ms Baker.
Bring back Erich Fromm (On Disobedience) and Étienne de la Boétie's The Politics of Disobedience !!!!!!!!!
Funny you commented along those lines. A few days ago I said something pretty much like this to a "friend". He was all for obeying, really. I'm afraid I lost my temper and kind of shouted at him. Oh, well... The older I get the less patience I have for idiots.
Anyway, thanks, Roland, for both the fave and the comment. Especially the comment...:-)
