Cant remember that being a mainstream discussion in Sweden, at all. Clearly a red line between swe social democratic hegemony and Soviet bloc tyranny. But you mean usa develop into more European model?

Nice summary of long distance insect migration in the Guardian today with fancy graphics www.theguardian.com/environment/...
No shame in stepping down. He just created the Ukrainian modern nation. No human can endure this forever.
"The generational math is unforgiving. The most trusting cohorts are dying. The least trusting, most contemptuous cohorts are inheriting the electorate. This isn’t a phase. It’s a conveyor belt."
If you wanted to be analytically adventurous as a historian in a think tank you could run a comparison between airpower in Trump's America and the horseback raiding empires of the 13th century
Every country is stuck with their legit system. Thank god for all our eight Swedish parties. Its terrible but not as abysmal as the uk or usa system.
Widespread number of households in developing countries burning plastic to dispose of waste, cook food, heat homes, light fires and keep insects away.
Burning plastic as an everyday energy source, uncovering serious health, social equality and environmental concerns.

💔Biggest eco crime on Earth now ignored by western media
Over 5 million acres of millions year old ancient forest in Sumatra is going to be transformed into this a lifeless desert of nothing
Birds wildlife tigers Orangutan Elephant will see their homes destroyed for bio fuels

Most extinctions today are ‘dark extinctions’….species that vanish before they’re described, monitored, or counted.
No database can record what was never discovered.
Biology is not accounting, and absence of paperwork is not absence of extinction.

IKEA is devestating ecology on a planetary scale, so no US company will compete on "equal" terms, I can guarantee you that much.
And, since Russia would continue to lobb missiles even if they were completley defeated on Ukrainian land, this should have been done in march 2022. Ukraine cant have the best cruise missiles so they should have been given all know how at once to do their own stuff.
Europe will spend the day handwringing over how to react to this wholly predictable, typical mad Trump meltdown rather than doing what actually has impact: React to Russia. Seize Russian assets, ban Russian imports, sink the shadow fleet, send Ukraine more aid, & #SkyShieldNow
People may very well be watching Dr Strangelove while in the cellar taking cover during nuclear assault for entertainment. Who knows. Me personally, I am fed up with the entertainment darkness and I cant get why there are so few of us.
I have no clue if it matter for anything. The question is about personal feel for the stuff. I just had very enough, and the world of shit made me think about what I was consuming. 2/2
Then there is this other theory of conditioning. What does the enormous river of crime fiction, mass murderers, zombieapocalypses, wars, ordinary "action" shoot outs and so on, affect or create? Nothing? Tom and Jerry was so funny compared to Swedish prog teve, but it was also routine violence 1/2
Could be Sweden. Pine and rocks polished by ancient ice sheets... If you had said "Jämtland" i wouldnt have been surprised.
As this world is developing, dont you ever get tired of darkness? Responsibility? Are you conditioning people to stomach and love darkness? Since it happens to be your talent and skill, has given you fame and riches, it might be a stupid question. But not for me. I stopped reading and viewing.
To stupid or to fat to get legit police work, suddenly a surprising window in history opened up when the semi autoritarian state needed him. No doubt he is grateful. And to stupid to keep quiet about it. But now I am repeating myself.
Nothing wrong at all with "realism" if you treat it as the "about general" philosophy of Hobbes, Machiavelli and Thucydides. Dark view of human nature, a few vague but obvious principles about the states. States lives in anarchic environment. Just dont overthink it.
We’re draining Earth’s fresh water like there’s no tomorrow—emptying aquifers, poisoning what’s left, sinking the land, and raising the seas.
This is what happens when infinite growth collides with a finite planet.

Girlfriend had a very "for the situation" appropriate name....
Dont say stupid things.
Inte läst, intressant.
US voters on the other hand are spoiled and bored, listening to youtube-morons about what the world owe them. No point with comparative history excercises her.
It is not particulary strange considering WWI destruction of "fine" European culture, hyperinflation and the key factor of the Wall Street crash of 1929. They were exhausted, felt finished and "Hitler was better than Stalin" sloppy thinking.
the disaster stream never stops....
No problem for humans. Several will survive environmental and climate disasters for years, in a survivalist bunker.
Mother Nature has learned a lesson from Silicon Valley capitalists. Now it's her turn to move fast and break things.
