Can International Organizations Survive the Rightwing, Nationalist Onslaught?

"At a time when international cooperation provides the key to preventing a variety of global calamities―including nuclear war, climate catastrophe, and massive starvation―it’s tragic that major nations, ruled by nationalist, rightwing parties, are on a collision course with the organizations that

“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.
It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. [...]
The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”

Saving time, saving column space.
Today I made a major improvement over at Roscoe's Story, my brother blog to this one. An improvement that will save me time and will make it easier for visitors to read.
I fill my days with maybe more prayers and devotions than many other old boys. Being mostly home bound with my arthritis, there's not a whole lot more I can do that is both constructive and edifying.
I have a daughter and a sister back home in Indiana, both of whom are curious about what I'm doing down here in Texas. How I'm taking care of myself. How I spend my time, etc. And I'm NOT a telephone person. Never have been. Ask anybody.
So to keep them informed, years ago I started my Roscoe's Story blog, listing and posting every day how I spend my time, etc.
Anyway, rather than list each individual prayer and the specific time I pray it every day, I now have a summary page that explains my prayer regimen. Linking to that summary every day will save me lots of time, and it will make for a much less cluttered blog page than has previously been the case.

Il est donc relativement clair que deux stratégies s’opposent aujourd’hui et s’offrent à la nation française. D’un côté une stratégie où s’entremêlent intégration euro-otanienne, perte d’indépendance nationale sur tous les plans y compris militaires et diplomatiques, désindustrialisation, incapacité à défendre le territoire national, manque d’effectif, déconnexion entre la nation et « son » armée, reculs sociaux et démocratiques, destructions de services publics en tout genre, stratégie qui ne peut qu’aboutir à une marche à la guerre planétaire potentiellement exterministe et poliment dénommée « conflit de haute intensité »…
Alors que de l’autre côté peut s’articuler une véritable politique de recouvrement de l’indépendance nationale face aux politiques capitalistes, impérialistes, belliqueuses et mondialisées de l’UE-OTAN (autrement dit d’assumer de sortir de ces carcans par un frexit inévitablement progressiste et patriotique), [...] une défense que n’importe quel révolutionnaire devrait prendre au sérieux au cas où quelques impérialistes étrangers chercheraient à rétablir l’ordre… Tout cela sans jamais menacer autrement que de potentiels agresseurs, assurant préventivement ces derniers de la volonté des Français recouvrant leur histoire qu’ils feront tout pour empêcher une nouvelle « parenthèse » contre-révolutionnaire, mais sans jamais plus inquiéter les peuples du monde de quelques oppressions que ce soit qui entacherait une nouvelle fois le peuple de France.Pour ce faire, la revendication portée par ce texte, celle d’une « armée nouvelle » dont la colonne vertébrale et la force seraient assurées par une « conscription nouvelle », prend, nous le pensons, tout son sens tant elle rentre en contradiction avec notre soumission/participation à l’Union européenne capitaliste et supranationale ainsi qu’à l’OTAN.
Car la sortie de l’UE, de l’euro et de l’OTAN, dans la perspective de la sortie du capitalisme que portent la JRCF et le PRCF exposerait notre pays à minima à des pressions internationales et à des provocations fortes de la part du bloc impérialiste, à la mesure du coup qui lui serait porté par un Frexit progressiste.
Car la question du Frexit est bien ici posée en arrière-plan. Ou bien la France se vautre dans cette « Défense européenne » au service de l’OTAN qui cherche déjà, avant même d’exister, à faire la guerre à la Fédération de Russie en y envoyant mourir nos fils et nos filles, ou bien elle rompt définitivement avec l’UE et avec l’OTAN, donc avec leur logique intrinsèquement impérialiste, et réorganise sa défense nationale en conséquence, dans un élan populaire, patriotique et démocratique retrouvé.

“A tern ringed as an unfledged chick on the Farne Islands in the northern summer of 1982 reached Melbourne just three months after fledging – a journey of more than 22,000 km.”
“The average Arctic tern lives about 30 years and will, based on the above research, travel some 2.4 million km (1.5 million mi) during its lifetime, the equivalent of a roundtrip from Earth to the Moon more than three times.”

@FeartnTired @Maud_GonnerI dated an Irish traitor (British army) from Belfast for quite awhile, it really goes so deep they think they can LOOK AT a person and tell if they are Catholic or Orange fgs. Trying to tell them yeah you can tell poverty is all is hopeless. Of course, he couldn't tell at ALL in Canada, I had him test it several times at gatherings etc. And this is a huge part of British history as well, most of the Catholic churches there weren't built until the 19th century. And now Catholic attendance is well over C of E. Much to the C of E horror.... LOL
"Roman Catholicism is not democratic. It doesn’t ask the culture to weigh in on what it believes—it declares it. And in an age when society is debating everything—from truth to gender to morality—there is something profoundly reassuring about a church that does not budge.
Women priests? No.
Abortion? Never.
Gender fluidity? Not affirmed.
However, the Anglican Church, even with its closely held principles, because of its penchant for shared governance and democracy and its allergy toward a Roman pope, always seems to be making up its mind." anglican.ink/2025/04/17/why-th…
