In 1975 in #Detroit, the Hackney brothers recorded an album for their bandโฆ called DEATH. Despite being punk before the likes of the Ramones or Sex Pistols, no record label would sign them unless they changed their name.

Decades later, the sons of Bobby Hackney heard that single and started asking questionsโฆ which eventually led to the release of that album on Drag City Records in 2009. To honor their late brother Davidโs vision, they named the album โFor the Whole World to Seeโ and embarked on a tour that hit several of the worldโs continentsโฆ but not Africa.

Astronomers using the European Space Agencyโs Cheops mission have caught an exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of radiation from the star it orbits. These tremendous explosions are blasting away the planetโs wispy atmosphere, causing it to shrink every year.
This is the first-ever evidence for a โplanet with a death wishโ. Though it was theorised to be possible since the nineties, the flares seen in this research are around 100 times more energetic than expected.

Hallo Internet, geehrte Denkende!
Ich bin ein extremer Befรผrworter der #GenferKonvention, sie muss aber auch endlich und konsequent umgesetzt werden.
รberall bzw. weltweit sehe ich gerade circa 120 kriegerische bzw. vรถlkerrechtswidrige Kriege, alle verstoรen gegen die Genfer Konventionen.
Kriege sind nur durch Gesprรคche zu lรถsen, also nicht durch immer mehr und neuere Waffen.
Dass das nur durch gute Politiker gelรถst werden kann, ist eh klar.
Sollten diese jetzigen "Politiker" uns als Bevรถlkerung nicht durch Verhandlungen schรผtzen kรถnnen oder wollen, so sollte man sich wirklich die Frage stellen, ob man diese Versager noch in ihren รmtern belรคsst.
Einen freiwilligen Rรผcktritt kann man wohl heutzutage leider kaum mehr erwarten, wenn "man" gleichzeitig in einer der Aufsichtsrรคte der Waffenindustrie sitzt und mitkassiert.
Die Demokratie braucht ein Fundament, was die kapitalistische Gesellschaft gar nicht bauen kann, weil der Krieg zum Kapitalismus gehรถrt wie das Amen zur Kirche.
Was machste mit einem machtgeilen Verrรผckten, der einfach seinen Nachbarn รผberfรคllt und Zivilisten bombardiert? Und jedem mit der Atombombe droht, der ihn hindern will?
Mit so jemanden ist nicht zu reden, jedenfalls nicht รผber die Genfer Konventionen. Der versteht und respektiert nur eine Sprache: Stรคrke und Konsequenz.
Klar kann man den Konflikt durch Verhandlungen "befrieden" - indem das Opfer aufgibt. Aber Appeasement funktioniert nun mal bekanntlich nicht. Nachdem es auรerdem mehr als einen verrรผckten Potentaten gibt, die Erde aber eine Kugel und ihre Oberflรคche daher endlich ist, stรถรt diese Strategie unausweichlich an Grenzen. In einer Welt, wie sie am Ende dieser "Befriedungen" wรคre, will niemand leben. Wer das aber verhindern will, fรผr den ist Kampf alternativlos.
Durch die Art und Weise, wie man ihn fรผhrt, definiert man hingegen nachhaltig, wer und was man ist. Den Kampf mit den Unmenschen aufzunehmen und dabei die eigene Menschlichkeit zu bewahren - das ist die Kunst.

_If there were no government, wouldnโt psychopaths or supervillains acquire nuclear weapons and either deploy them or use them for blackmail?_
Christopher Cook's answer:
Nuclear bombs are incredibly expensive. Fissile materials have to be mined and then enriched. Delivery technology must be invented, improved, built, and maintained. States can do this because they can steal your money through taxation or print it (and enrich themselves and their cronies in the process due to the Cantillon Effect).
In a condition of market anarchism, a private person must acquire this wealth through providing goods and services. He would have to be a successful businessmanโoffering things that people want, things that people feel would make their lives betterโBEFORE he can get the wealth necessary to build even a small number of missiles/bombs.
So does our nuclear-mad psychopath intentionally seek success in business just so he can acquire the wealth needed to develop even a small arsenal? Maybe.
But then we must askโwhat are his incentives to do so? Bloodlust? Lunacy? Again, maybe, but certainly not a common scenario.
Meanwhile, we know the perverse incentives of the state. We know that โWar is the heath of the state.โ War makes the state more powerful. War allows centralizers to centralize. War allows some to become fabulously wealthy making weapons. โDemocracyโ allows all of these costs to be passed on to the people. And the nationalism of the modern state allows authorities to convince people in their own lands that people in far-off lands are their bitter enemies. To sacrifice their wealth and treasure, to sacrifice themselves and their children to fight this far-off enemy. And if you are unwilling to fight, they can draft you and kill you if you refuse.
The private psychopath in a condition of market anarchism has none of these incentives and none of these abilities. The state, by contrast, has all of them. The state has a record of using nuclear weapons. The state can build and maintain a world-destroying number of them. The Japanese were suing for peace when โweโ dropped Fat Man and Little Boy, just to show the USSR we meant business.
I am not saying that psychos will not exist in a condition of market anarchism, or that such a condition will be perfect. But when we compare that possibility to the current reality, how can we possibly prefer the current reality?

Today in Labor History July 2, 1929: Augusto Sandino left for Mรฉxico to seek aid for his Nicaraguan rebels, fighting the U.S. occupation of his country. The rebellion lasted from 1927-1933. In 1934, he was assassinated by General Anastasio Somoza, who seized power in a 1936 coup dโetat, and who, along with his sons, ran the country as dictators until the Sandinista Revolution of 1979 ended their reign of terror. While in Mรฉxico, during early 1920s, Sandino participated in strikes led by the IWW. Inspired by the Wobblies, he returned to foment revolution in Nicaragua, adopting the IWW's black and red syndicalist colors in their Revolutionary Flag.

De Mussolini ร Trump (en passant par Retailleau) : comprendre le fascisme
Soutenez Blast, nouveau mรฉdia indรฉpendant : blast-info.fr/soutenir
Peut-on encore parler de fascisme ? Dans les mรฉdias dominants, employer ce terme pour dรฉcrire la montรฉe des mouvements d'extrรชme-droite est tournรฉ en dรฉrision. Trop radical, trop polรฉmique : le mot "fascisme" serait anachronique, inopรฉrant.
Pourtant, depuis 1945, jamais les discours autoritaires, racistes et identitaires n'ont autant imprรฉgnรฉ le dรฉbat public dans les dรฉmocraties occidentales. L'ascension de Trump et le salut nazi d'Elon Musk incarnent une extrรชme droite dรฉcomplexรฉe, dรฉsormais au pouvoir.
Malgrรฉ les discours populistes et antisystรจme de ces mouvements, leurs alliรฉs s'affichent maintenant au grand jour : les milliardaires et leurs multinationales, de Zuckerberg ร Arnault, et une partie grandissante de la bourgeoisie, prรชte ร tout pour conserver son pouvoir. Le vent a dรฉfinitivement tournรฉ.
Alors, l'histoire se rรฉpรจte-t-elle ? Assistons-nous ร l'รฉmergence d'un nouveau fascisme ? Mais d'abord, qu'est-ce que le fascisme ?
Dans ce climat de grande confusion oรน il devient urgent de nommer clairement l'ennemi pour mieux le combattre, Blast vous propose de revenir aux sources : comprendre les origines, l'histoire et les mutations du fascisme d'hier pour รฉclairer les dangers d'aujourd'hui.
