Another weekend drop from #wsmfstudios . This time, some new old #Napoleonic #Blues with a message to all you #despots and #oligarchs out there .. "That's How I Got To Elba"
Recorded today on the #ZoomR4. Gotta love tracking it live, next time I promise to use a click track.Enjoy.
@maltita Binary thinking, is for the profoundly stupid and starved of imagination: #values can be indeterminate, uncertain, determinate or transcendental and to that add the futility of the absurd! #XY #FascistDogWhistles #FascistAbuse #CultsAreOwned #TheDogAbusers #MAD #Demigods #FreedomFromTheFew #Oligarchs #Plutocrats #Despots #Theocrats #Davos #OwnedByTheMob #FreedomFromCorporateSovereignty #RepublicSovereignty #TheFederation
You know who was always dumber than a bag of rocks, even before he got drunk with the presidency as well as late stage dementia.
What I don't get is #NayibBukele's deal. He HAS to know the Orange Skull will be lucky not to croak this term (and yes, I AM knocking on my desk until my knuckles bruise), let alone steal another one.
Of all the #despots in the world, what made him hitch his wagon to the one with the shortest life expectancy?
Kings and despots historically used spending and taxes (tariffs) to control their subjects, to reward loyalty and punish dissent.
Tariffs are a means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition would-be-king Trump for relief.
He is using access to government funds to bully universities, law firms and state and local governments into loyalty pledges.
Relief will come to industry and institutions that pledge loyalty (fealty).
Trumps strategy. is from the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

My country is dying, our #culture has been replaced with #consumerism and I'm tired of not acknowledging it.
These same words have been used by #fascists, #despots and #oligarchs all around the world - from the cradle that is Africa, to the "new world" and back again.
#Putin just wants #russification to replace #westernization though. It's hard #imperialism vs #softimperialism.
Our conqueror is the #USA. But our destroyer will be ourselves, as we forget all about what made #Norway great.

7 December 2024
Today is Pearl Harbor Day, that event took place 83 years ago today. The event even seemed long ago when I was a child because it didn't happen in my lifetime. It is good that we remember such days though because as noted by the American philosopher George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." After World War II, the United States helped to rebuild the countries of its enemies and eventually they became our allies. While in the east, the Soviet Union subjugated the countries that fell under its control. causing a rift in the world order and the cold war began. Beware of despots.
"Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards." - Aeschines

The British "government" say they can pass a law that says #Rwanda is a "safe" country when it has a habit of #torturing and #killing #refugees and anyone else the government there don't like.
How can a law passed here in the UK suddenly change the behaviour of a bunch of #murderous #despots thousands of miles away? They might as well pass a law that says everyone in Uzbekistan is now called Maureen.
#Trump's latest threats to place opponents in #jail, including #PresidentBiden, fit with the limitless nature of #psychopaths. Lacking a conscience or #morality to limit his #sadism, and believing in his worth above all others, leads Trump to believe he has the right to #destroy anyone who does not submit to him.
The sad history of people democratically electing #despots like Trump is that they don't realize the level of #malignant #psychology behind the #populist face.
Bullies are empowered and emboldened by cowards.

Or alternatively, imagine if free people in free countries just, you know, *chose* not to do business with genocidal, military-expansionist dictatorships... 🤔
I know it's a really weird idea, especially if you personally aren't currently being genocided by that particular regime.
The Polish freedom fighters had a word for this odd phenomenom though. They even founded a rather successful labour union named after that concept. Without #solidarity between peoples, would the #soviet #russian #dictatorship have crumbled when it did?
Another thing is that the various #despots and #authoritarians are increasingly networking and joining forces to fight the evils of #democracy and #humanrights globally. Aiding, abetting or doing business with any of them makes all of them more powerful.

Putin Arrest Warrant. Despots must be overthrown.
#Musk ist ein #Verräter und man sollte die Konsequenzen ziehen!
Just zu dem #Zeitpunkt, da #Russland seine #Offensive in der #Ukraine beginnt, zieht #Musk den #Stecker für die ukrainischen #Dronen um #Despots Liebling zu sein und #Märkte zu erschließen!

Er baut hier seine Autos unter dem sicheren Dach der #NATO und verrät die #Ukraine an #Russland und #China.
☝️ #HongKong — now reduced to being mere #CCP's banking colony — is to become a key #clearinghouse cum #moneylaundry for world's #despots and #autocrats; but only if the world's democracies allow it by keeping their #financial institutions in the same cesspool.
What's it gonna be? Are we still in the business of building up autocracies at the expense of #democracy and #humanrights?
