Carney announced a $9 billion increase in military spending, surpassing NATO's target, despite his previous climate action promises.

Carney argued that this spending hike was a reclamation of Canadian sovereignty, but it deepens integration and subjugation to the US empire.

Carney's military spending will significantly increase federal government emissions, which are already exempt from national carbon reduction targets.

Is that why Russia invaded or destabilized Chechnya, Georgia, and Moldova too? Lots of Nazis and biolabs and NATO expansion there also? You must think Mastodon users are as dumb as Facebook/Twitter folks. And weird that as a "socialist" you'd take the side of one of the most reactionary regimes we've had in a long time that funds far right European parties like AfD. Besides, countries ask to join NATO (sometimes beg) not the case when "joining" Russia/USSR.

@mark buddy, you really need to learn on the subject you're attempting to opine on. Go read up on what the US has been doing in Chechnya and Georgia. Go look up at how the west was trying to destabilize Georgia just during the last elections.

Given everything you've spewed here so far it's pretty clear you're as dumb as any wasp that I've met.

NATO is a fascist organization, and scum like you would rather fight wars than feed people at home. Get fucked you fascist scumbag.

How Iran's victory over Israel redefined deterrence rules?

TEHRAN, Jun. 28 (MNA) – The Zionists suffered a defeat in the 12-day war with Iran—a battle in which they had hoped to achieve an absolute victory—but instead received an unprecedented strategic blow.

Women are not safe in Britain and the Government is unlikely to achieve its goal of halving violence against females, the aunt of Zara Aleena has warned.

Speaking on the third anniversary of the murder of the law graduate, Farah Naz said she feared more young women would lose their lives in tragic circumstances because public services, including probation, were broken.

Ms Aleena, 35, was sexually assaulted and killed by career criminal Jordan McSweeney as she walked home in Ilford, east London, in June 2022.

McSweeney, who had 28 convictions for 69 separate offences, had only been released from jail nine days earlier and was wanted for recall to prison having breached probation following his release.

An inquest concluded that failures across multiple agencies had contributed to the death of Ms Aleena, with a coroner telling the Metropolitan Police and the Probation Service to improve their services or risk future deaths.

As David van Reybrouck says, the problem is that we have too many rulers & too few leaders:

'The world doesn’t need more ageing strongmen clinging to power. It needs elders who are willing to let go – and guide. The kind who think about legacy not as personal glory, but as the world they leave behind. In this age of age, what we need is not domination, but wisdom. And that, in the end, is what separates a ruler from a leader'!

Th gerontocracy is killing us!

Just when the world desperately needs wise elders, its fate is in the hands of old and ruthless patriarchs

🇺🇸 #US - 🇮🇶 #Iraq: Over 14 years ago, WikiLeaks released the "Collateral Murder" video, showing a US Apache helicopter gunning down a group of Iraqi civilians, including two Reuters journalists, in Baghdad. The pilots can be heard laughing as they fire.

The journalists were Namir Noor-Eldeen, a 22 year old photojournalist and Saeed Chmagh, a 40 year old driver and assistant. Based on the context of the video, the camera equipment carried by Noor-Eldeen was apparently mistaken for a weapon. #video

Il est l’auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de référence, dont L’Iran, une puissance en mouvement (Eyrolles, 2021) et Iran : la révolution invisible (Autrement, 2007).

Dans cette interview pour Olivier Berruyer sur Élucid, Thierry Coville décrypte les dessous du conflit entre l’Iran et Israël, dans un contexte historique marqué par l’intervention directe et inédite des États-Unis sur le sol iranien. À rebours des caricatures faciles qui déferlent sur les plateau TV, Thierry Coville montre comment l’Iran est piégé dans une impasse diplomatique, étranglé par les sanctions occidentales, et constamment trahi par ceux-là mêmes qui se revendiquent du droit international. Une politique à courte vue, qui, si elle se poursuit, pourrait bien précipiter toute la région dans un engrenage incontrôlable.

This is absolute bullshit. I’ve done meet and greets with people where they tell you the same thing. Stand there, take your picture, move along. I’ve stopped doing them, just because I should at least be able to shake someone’s hand and introduce myself, say i’m happy to meet you, etc. If that isn’t allowed then screw it.

ISRAËL, IRAN OU ÉTATS-UNIS : QUI A VRAIMENT GAGNÉ LA GUERRE DES DOUZE JOURS ? | BERTRAND BADIE

🔴 Soutenez, partagez, rejoignez la riposte pour une INFO libre, populaire sur la TNT et les réseaux-sociaux ! lemediatv.fr/campagne

Une guerre de longue durée aura-t-elle lieu à court ou moyen terme entre d’une part Israël et son allié américain, et d’autre part la République islamique d’Iran et ses fameux proxys ? Au moment où nous tournons, en tout cas, une sorte d’accalmie fragile semble s’être imposée, et il est temps pour toutes les parties de compter les points. Qui a gagné ? Qui a perdu ? Qui s’est renforcé sur sa scène intérieure ? Qui s’est a contrario affaibli ? Quelles leçons tirer de cette guerre de 12 jours, et de la “chorégraphie” trumpienne, le président américain ayant donné l’impression de voler au secours de Benjamin Netanyahou pour mieux le contraindre à une forme de retenue ? Pourquoi Trump tient-il tant à acter en interne une victoire qu’il exagère manifestement ? Quels sont les enjeux de politique intérieure ? La guerre des nerfs entre l’Iran et les monarchies du Golfe est-elle relancée ? Et Benjamin Netanyahou dans tout ça. Quel est le bilan de cette épreuve de force pour lui ? Que devient le concept de droit international, avec la banalisation du concept de guerre préventive ?
Bertrand Badie, politiste, professeur émérite à Sciences Po, auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont “L’Art de la paix” paru chez Flammarion, répond à ces questions. C’est l’heure du “Monde n’a pas de centre”, sa chronique internationale. Sur Le Média.

La question est surtout de déterminer qui a gagner cette bataille. Le programme nucléaire civil iranien est détruit (selon les États-Unis), aucune fuite radioactive n'est perçue par l'AIEA mais un retour aux négociations est demander, avec un pré-requis : la fin du programme nucléaire civil iranien (ce qui ne repose sur rien puisque tout le monde peut se doter d'un programme civil s'il en a les moyens). Les iraniens ont perçu la duplicité de l'AIEA, qui a fournit toutes les informations pour mener à bien la première attaque et l'assassinat des personnels iraniens (et de leurs familles) du programme.
Les principaux ports et aéroports d'Israël ont été touchés, le pays le plus sûr pour les juifs a prit du plomb dans l'aile et leur prochaine attaque (qui est toujours possible avec ces lumières) sera sans aucun doute la dernière.
L'Iran étant sous sanctions depuis trente ans, ne veut pas continuer la guerre et ils vont négocier, d'ailleurs la meilleure option est de rejoindre davantage les BRICS+, de permettre l'implantation chinoise et russe. L'otan tout entier ne sera plus qu'une coquille vide, même avec 5, 10, 100% du pib, pour l'industrie militaro-industrielle.

#BudapestPride today was illegal... but also the largest we had in 30 years. Incredible turnout. Trying to ban it made it stronger. Propaganda trying to make hate the majority opinion failed.

A handful of counter-protesters blockaded the Freedom Bridge (because irony is lost on them), but the parade moved one bridge over and passed them by.

Palestine : les étudiants bousculent le parlement européen

Soutenez Blast, nouveau média indépendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir

Alors que la cheffe de la diplomatie européenne, Kaja Kallas, présentait ce jeudi un rapport sur les violations du droit international commises par Israël, les 27 États membres de l’Union européenne peinent toujours à s’accorder sur une éventuelle suspension de l’accord d’association avec l’État hébreu.
Quelques semaines plus tôt, se tenait le premier forum étudiant pour la Palestine.
Il a eu lieu au Parlement européen et il réunissait les leaders des mouvements étudiants de toute l’Europe, afin de partager leurs expériences, tisser des liens, et formuler des revendications communes afin de construire un front uni en solidarité avec la cause palestinienne.
C'est un événement qui a été organisé par Rima Hassan et ses équipes. L'eurodéputée s'était notamment illustrée par son soutien affiché aux mobilisations étudiantes, allant notamment jusqu'à se rendre en personne à des rassemblements organisés par les étudiants.

Swiss women's national team loses 7-1 to Luzern's under 15 boys squad

The outcome is similar to a 2017 scrimmage in which the US Women’s National Team lost 5-2 to a U15 boys’ team from Dallas. At the time, US player Carli Lloyd acknowledged the physical gap, noting that the boys were “bigger, stronger and faster.”

Political commentator Piers Morgan commented on the walloping, posting, “This is why we separate the sexes in sport…”

@kathimmel fair enough, mostly just throwing out reactionary rhetoric. the thing is, unless Panama has some crazy worker protections that I am unaware of, they're just gonna bring in strike breakers.
if you don't want to negotiate with your employees/borderline slave labor, then you shouldn't have the opportunity to run a business.
so instead of burning it down, maybe they can tear those U.S. suits to pieces and use their bodies for organic fertilizer on their new worker-owned and operated banana-co-op.

A dying industry dies a bit more - by Ed Conway


#energy #industry #economics

Without cheap energy, re-industrialisation is an empty slogan.

In the meantime, energy prices into the UK went from being among the lowest in Europe to among the highest in the developed world. The hydrogen economy remained what it was back a decade ago - which is to say, a lovely idea but, in practice, way too expensive to compete with old fashioned chemicals and energy.

FYI: Bitmap fonts might break with the latest fontconfig release

A new version of fontconfig release recently with the added option to disable bitmap fonts. If you're using a rolling release distro, this might break bitmap fonts for you. It definitely does on Arch (and likely Arch-based distros) because they opted to disable them by default for some reason (AFAICT upstream gives the choice but does not recommend one way or the other).

This'll cause fontconfig to skip bitmap fonts, your apps won't be able to access them.

To fix it, you need to configure fontconfig to not ignore bitmap fonts. There are a number of ways to do that.

I'd recommend a user-level fontconfig file. Create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf with below contents and you get your bitmap fonts back. This negates the file in /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps-except-emoji.conf. This is the first time I'm configuring fontconfig so there may be a better way ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This should've definitely been news imo especially because this is not the default behavior of upstream. I shouldn't have to read fontconfig PRs to figure out why my fonts broke, even on Arch.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">

A reminder that the anti-Iraq-war protests were some of the largest demonstrations in human history and they failed. The "carrying signs and yelling at empty buildings" theory of change comes from a sanitized retelling of past movements.

Today, every group with a twitter is calling for a demonstration in their town, but movements that don't cause power to feel pain and don't have the institutional capacity to negotiate if/when they do are doomed to failure.

@sidereal pretty sure that we at least mostly agree? Obviously the people at the march aren't the problem. My point is that the rallies matter as much as they signal or lead to an actual threat to power. If they can be safely ignored they will be.
