Socially-acceptable forms of social change entail:
1) Refusing to question structures of power, leaving them exactly as they are
2) Asking those with power within those structures to behave a certain way.
3) When that fails, then adhering to the (rigged) rules of the game, to try to acquire official power oneself, which is costly, time-consuming, and likely to fail.
That's it. And given the fascism of the 2020s, those forms of social change will fail.

He was “not consulted or warned” that he would be let go after nearly two decades of working for the EU."

Musst du was manuell in 'post-engagement' löschen. Ist nicht ganz trivial rauszufinden, was genau.
Grundsätzlich betrifft es die id 5468731 in der Tabelle contact. Dieser Datensatz kann nicht gelöscht werden, weil er noch eine Referenz in post-engagement hat.
Ohne jetzt nachgesehen zu haben, hat wahrscheinlich der 'contact' mit id 5468731 auch eine owner-id. Die musst du per SELECT ... FROM contact WHERE ... rausfinden. Diese owner-id müsste sich auch in der Tabelle 'post-engagement' wiederfinden lassen.
Dann musst du erst in post-engagement die Datensätze löschen, die diese owner-id haben. Dann löst sich der Rest von selbst.
Das Ganze ohne Garantie. Bitte doppelt prüfen, ob du auch den richtigen Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Tabellen erwischst, sonst löscht du was falsches. 😀

Starting a small business or startup means facing a barrage of costs—rent, supplies, marketing, and more. A website is a must, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. With the right strategy, you can get online quickly and affordably.
Affordable web design is a smart choice for new entrepreneurs. You don’t need a custom, high-end site to establish your presence. A cheap website, built with focus, can connect you with customers and keep your budget in check.
A low-cost website needs to hit a few key points. It should work seamlessly on mobile, load fast, and clearly communicate what your business offers and how people can reach you.
Custom web design is pricey and often unnecessary for new businesses. Platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or Wix offer templates that are modern, responsive, and easy to customize. They’re a key part of affordable web design.
With your logo, images, and text, a template can feel unique without the custom cost. Plus, you can launch in days, not weeks, which is crucial when you’re starting out.
When your budget is tight, prioritize what your site needs most. A booking tool? A product catalog? Or just a homepage with contact info? Many startups overspend on features they don’t need yet, thinking it’ll drive growth.
Build a minimal site with only the essentials. It’s cheaper to maintain and easier to manage. You can add more features later when your business grows.
Some designers offer affordable web design that’s high quality, while others might deliver rushed work. Check their portfolio—look at their standard projects, not just the best ones. Ask what’s included and if they’ve built sites for businesses like yours.
Be upfront about your budget. A reliable designer will work within your limits and be transparent about costs. If a deal seems too cheap, ask questions to avoid surprises.
You don’t need premium hosting for a small site. Basic plans from trusted providers cost under $10 a month and handle most startup needs. For domains, pick something simple—your brand name with a .com or .co—and avoid pricey alternatives.
Using one platform for hosting and your domain simplifies management, especially if you’re not tech-savvy.
A beautiful design won’t help if your message is unclear. A cheap website needs clear, engaging text to explain what you do, who you serve, and how to connect with you. Spend time—or a small budget—on writing that resonates.
If writing isn’t your strength, a freelance copywriter can make a big difference. It’s a better investment than extra design tweaks.
You don’t need to spend thousands to get online. A cheap website that’s mobile-friendly, fast, and clear can do the job just fine. Focus on the basics now and upgrade as your business grows.
Affordable web design lets you launch a site that works without financial stress. Get online today and start building your brand.

It's occurred to me that the only real application, in theory, for blockchain-enforced "smart contracts" would be something like international security guarantees.
For instance, if you want a Palestinian state to agree to be demilitarised, sure, if there's a system such that an attack by Israel would ⋅immediately and automatically⋅ trigger a comprehensive sanction regime, stop all international bank transfers in and out of Israel, invalidate all trade licences, etc.
Apart from political feasibility, it's not practical, of course. What ⋅exactly⋅ would be the triggers? Who gets to decide whether and when to roll back? Besides, whatever anyone tries to tell you, blockchain's are NOT safe from manipulation, even in principle, especially when we are talking about state actors.
Just in terms of if there WERE a use case, that's what it would be.
This was not a proposal. We can flush all "blockchain technology” down the toilet today and lose nothing, as far as I'm concerned.
I was trying to work with the premise of people who try to make the case for "smart contracts" (that are predicated on a system where, yes, certain actions are algorithmically ⋅enforced⋅) to see what might conceivably be a valid use case at least in theory.
In other words: the fundamental premise of "smart contracts" is that there are situations where you need an agreement between parties who you cannot ask to trust each other, so they can instead trust the algorithm. And I was just noting that asking a Palestinian state to be demilitarised fits that description. But since, as you correctly note and I also pointed out, it wouldn't work even then, that just shows that actually there is no use case.

The current regime ruling the United States is trafficking people to various countries against their will.
But people seem to have quite bad memories and seem to believe that it's Trump that's just a bad actor.
Let me remind you that under the Bush regime, the CIA created a network in which it trafficked people, with no due process, for the express purpose of having them tortured.
Trump is not an aberration. The Empire is rotten, and it is dying.

Kirsch sees “the concept of settler colonialism” as activist “nonsense”…
By highlighting [his] text’s many elisions and obfuscations, Khalili makes clear that Kirsch has no clue what he’s talking about. That’s no surprise: He is, after all, a literary critic with zero expertise on Israel/Palestine or the discipline his book attempts to invalidate. Khalili’s review rigorously deconstructs Kirsch’s arguments before turning to a virtuosic micro-history of Zionist settler colonialism, drawn from the very primary sources and scholarship, especially by Palestinians, that Kirsch neglects. It’s a harrowing account—and a persuasive argument, for anyone willing to face the facts.

I once heard that intimate life should not be mixed with politics, that is, that within the ideal, what we do individually and/or collectively to destroy the hegemony of power would have to be separated from our relationships with the beings we love, such as our parents, lovers, children, etc. As the years go by, these types of statements seem to me more and more distant from my reality and from the way I understand and intend to conduct politics.
I see no other way to construct and understand political work if it is not with the necessary and nourishing mixture of all the edges that converge in the development of each individual.
In this sense, mixing intimate life with “politics”, what could be more intimate than the pain of the loss of someone who came out of your womb? That pain, perhaps indescribable for those of us who have not lived through it, Luisa Toledo suffered in each of the murders of her three children, and carried in her heart until her last heartbeat.
That immense pain was transformed into the love that managed to forge some of the foundations for many to rise up against those who enrich themselves at the expense of the perpetuation of domination.
For this reason, among many other things, Luisa Toledo is the resilient mother of Rafael, Pablo and Eduardo, and she is also the comrade of dozens of demonstrations, she is the firm and passionate voice capable of delivering a clear message against the powerful, she is the one who stood up in solidarity with the prisoners… Luisa Toledo was, and always will be part of the construction of one or more generations of young combatants.
With these words I take this opportunity to send an affectionate greeting to the Vergara Toledo family.

"Britain’s mainstream media have not carried out a single investigation into the extent, impact or legal status of the more than 500 surveillance flights over Gaza that the RAF has carried out since December 2023.
The Ministry of Defence continues to insist that the operations, carried out by Shadow R1 aircraft based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, are designed purely to assist with the discovery of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October 2023.
It appears that Britain’s obedient defence correspondents have no appetite to challenge this or even to raise the slightest concern about the legal or ethical implications of providing intelligence support to Israel in the middle of a genocide.
Yet thanks to dogged work by campaigners, independent journalists and pro-Palestine MPs, we know both that the flights are continuing to operate (as they did even throughout the ceasefire) and that spikes in the number of flights have coincided with especially deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza.
The lack of curiosity on the part of mainstream media is perhaps not surprising but it is deeply troubling."

I think a lot of people feel helpless right now because they understand, even if they haven't articulated it, that these theories are kaput.
We need to be building and leveraging other forms of power.

in reply to Aaron • • •One set of antidotes to this powerlessness, this broken theory of social change, would be anarchist lenses on power.
The power of the people is inherent. The were many millenia when the people maintained societies without nation states.
The state is a necessarily-problematic power dynamic; it creates and enacts socially-accepted violence against minority populations and those who stand in the way of the state's conception of progress.
The nation state is not essential to human civilization.

in reply to Aaron • • •The nation state as an entity and the nation state system itself is an iteration of empires and the colonial system, respectively.
The underpinning philosophies and theories of value that enabled slavery, colonial theft, genocide, and land theft were all left intact when we became nation states. The ruling class just patched it up with things like human rights, workers rights, protections for migrants, and other things that have clearly fallen by the wayside since.

in reply to Aaron • • •So there are two ways forward:
Colonialism 3.0, where we try to patch the whole thing together yet again.
Or we could actually build a new system which emerges from the wreckage of the old, which pulls people and resources in, electively, as nation states fail further.
This, however, would require imagination and a historical and anthropological lens on how humans could organize themselves, and how they have organized themselves.
