L’union ? Quelle union ?, par Frédéric Lordon (Les blogs du Diplo, 30 juin 2025)


#politique #trahison

C’est un fétiche et c’est une jérémiade : « l’union ». Pour quoi faire ? On ne sait pas. L’essentiel est d’être « unis ». Tous ensemble vers le talus — on finira sur le toit mais on sera restés soudés. Le gros bon sens qui tache proteste cependant : « unis, on est plus fort que divisés ; divisés on n’arrivera à rien ». Mais tellement. En matière syndicale, les prodiges de « l’union » sont encore très frais dans nos esprits, et offerts à (ne pas) être médités : c’était en 2023, à l’occasion des retraites. Pas d’erreur, on a été bien unis. Avec la CFDT. La preuve, on n’est pas « arrivés à rien » : puisqu’on a mis des millions de personnes dans la rue pendant deux mois. Pour, à la fin, perdre l’imperdable. Par alignement de « l’union » sur la mollesse politique, l’incompréhension des situations historiques et la nullité stratégique. Tous ensemble — dans la défaite. Attention, pas n’importe laquelle : une défaite triomphale, unanimement célébrée. Par la bourgeoisie – et sa presse, admirative : voilà de la bonne union, celle qui ne nous fera jamais aucun mal.

Qué mal lo de eliminar el arbolado en las ciudades. No hay que tener muchas luces para saber que es el mejor mecanismo para reducir las temperaturas. Solo hay que darse cuenta del frescor que se nota cuando vas caminando por una zona de asfalto y hormigón y de repente te metes una zona con vegetación y árboles.

Pero esta gente que legisla desde sus despachos climatizados y vuelve a su chalet en coche oficial, no experimenta esto, ni intención que tiene.

Sufrir las altas temperaturas en las ciudades también es de currantes y pobres. Los mismos que les votamos.

American democracy is a failed idea. Elected officials voted to literally kill their own constituents, because the $$ said to.

'More than 60 House Republicans represent districts where Medicaid enrollment is higher than the national average."

And the bill they just passed in Congress is the biggest cut to Medicaid in history.

Elected officials voted to *kill* their own constituents.

Si, es la forma mas barata que se me ha ocurrido de "agilizar" el pc. He comprado varios modulos de RAM DDR3 en Ali, estan muy baratos.
Este es el segundo pc que consigo de la empresa donde curro y que los esta sustituyendo al no ser compatibles con W11.
Si consigo mas pcs les pondré un modulo de 8 GB y se quedarían con 16GB en total, que para mover Linux es mas que suficiente. En principio se los voy a donar a gente del pueblo de mis padres que no tienen ordenador y enseñarles lo basico para moverse en Linux y navegar por internet.
A este le he puesto 32GB pq me lo voy a quedar yo y queria empezar a usar maquinas virtuales.
La configuracion base de estos pcs de la empresa es 8GB de RAM+disco mecanico 1TB+ disco ssd de 120 GB

So when I went to Canada a month ago it felt like we were on the brink of WW3 but now I'm back and in Washington DC to do some production stuff for 4th of July and aside from heavily opinionated stickers on lamp posts, everything seems... fine? People are talking about some kind of bill that got a validation stamp. I'm not sure what it's about though. Maybe I should turn on the news.

I've been encountering a lot of vocally religious people recently and it's catching me off guard because in my brain, any version of "god" is synonymous with "the tooth fairy" so I'm standing there perplexed why an adult is talking to me about how they're basking in the tooth fairy's love and how the tooth fairy is the ultimate power in the universe and how even me not believing in the tooth fairy is all part of the tooth fairy's plan for my character arc. As for me, I can neither confirm nor deny that the tooth fairy exists. I just simply accept that certain things are unknowable and while lore to explain it all is certainly interesting, I will never consider it historical fact.

Historically, very few Jews could get into Ivy League schools — not because of “antisemitism” as many Jews claim — but rather because they just weren’t smart enough, which was reflected in their poor performance on the SAT test.

Some people talk about minimizing social media time and the associated doomscrolling, but every day Mastodon reminds me of how many kind, caring people there are. And how many I'm privileged to know on here. (And how many have adorable cats. Or dogs. Or goats.) People who appreciate the beauty around us; people who want to save the environment; people who want a good life for everyone.

It lifts me up, even when the news is horrific. Thank you all.

Feeling overwhelmed, like the worst of us make the rules for the rest of us? Like empathy feels like a curse right now? It just hurts, and you feel helpless?

You are worth fighting for. Sometimes winning doesn't look glamorous, it just looks like not giving up. Care for yourself, for the ones you love, being strong and feeling strong are not the same thing, just don't quit. I love you all, I'm sorry it's hard, but we need each other, community is essential.

Today when about to start one of the shows on my stage at this festival, an intern who looked like she must still be in high school full out dropped and busted one of the cameras another team was supposed to be recording with. She was clearly horrified and on the verge of tears but luckily her supervisor was very chill about it basically saying "ya live and ya learn!" I think that's great because that's exactly what I was thinking but I also know that if I were 17 I'd be thinking my life was over. 😅

@pat There are enough nukes that would lead to at the very least the entire collapse of civilization. Keep in mind the average H-bomb is between 100kt and 10mt though over 50mt bombs have been exploded. This makes Hiroshima and Nagasaki look like a fire cracker, and the Russians have 5000 or so, not sure what our current count is, and it's hard to say how accurate either is, but suffice it to say it would not be good for humanity. There is the nuclear winter theory, it's hard to know exactly how much dust would be churned into the upper atmosphere for how long, there is just how large of an area would be rendered uninhabitable after the explosion of all arsenals. These are all things that speculating on in detail is somewhat fruitless and there are some scientific experiments that are better left untried.

I'm not convinced. The earth is massive, there are a lot of people living in mountains who will never really be affected by anything. They're going to keep reproducing and keep teaching their kids how to read and write. What's really at risk is long and complex supply chains - especially those which depend on esoteric knowledge, like chip fabs. That said, there's a pretty good chance of those surviving as well, because while it is esoteric, it's also going to be the second thing every remaining country thinks of, after "food, water, shelter"...

@cjd @nanook yeah, I mean it sure wouldn't be easy and average lifespan would go down to like 20, maybe 30 years, but we'll definitely recover eventually. And considering that practicality every human society in recorded history developed some form of written language within like 1000 years sinc domestication of plants and animals became a thing, I'm not very concerned there with.

@pat @Caleb James DeLisle In another half billion years our Sun will have expanded to the point where it boils all the oceans off and fries any remaining life. So my take is we had better develop interplanetary and even intersolar ability soon or assuming somehow we don't kill ourselves off sooner surely we and all other life here will disappear then. It's a bit depressing to me that we haven't discovered intelligent life elsewhere because I'm not sure it exists here.

@pat Based upon present day genetic variety, and I know visually it appears there is a lot but really it's very little for a species of our complexity, it is estimated that between 900,000 to 800,000 years ago there were fewer than 1000 individuals world-wide and that condition persisted for 100,000 years, so yea we "survived" but by a hair, and now are genetic diversity is reduced to the point where our ability survive something of similar severity would be doubtful.

Business is really booming for me right now. 👀 I keep half joking about needing to find a real job at some point but it has kind of hit me that somehow all these not real jobs have become a vocation of sorts because people will ask me an obvious question about... whatever it is... and I'll think "how could they not know this?" then I realize "oh I'm only thinking this because I've been doing this for ten years and this is their first time."
