__« Les classes dominantes ont financé les options politiques xénophobes, climato-négationnistes et sexistes qui ont conduit aux votes dits populistes »
“Avec le libertarianisme autoritaire, la perspective qui se dessine, c’est celle d’une remise en cause du socle minimal de droits sociaux et environnementaux nécessaires pour la vie normale des populations qui commence à être remis en cause dans les pays du Nord.”

__Slavoj Žižek: We Need a Socialist Reset, Not a Corporate “Great Reset”
Slavoj Žižek writes in Jacobin today that we’ve been given a choice between a return to the old exploitative normality and a post-COVID corporate “Great Reset” that promises to be even worse.

__Centralisation is a danger to democracy — Redecentralize.org
This is too much power, and power corrupts. But the question isn’t really about how these platforms should wield their power — the question is whether these platforms should have such power in the first place.

President Biden’s 17 Executive Orders in Detail https://nyti.ms/3qHWRWb
This is the easy part : restoring some of the worst Trump era bad policies that were implemented but the real work, beside attempting to restore America’s broken image and broken record on the worldwide stage, the real work is going to be domestic : how to effectively move away from neoliberal "free market" first dogmatic policies that hurt the majority of the American people and only serve the ultra rich, in short, systemic inequalities, built-in the US system to the point, corporations are effectively above and beyond democracies.
That’s where the battle is, if Democracy is still what represents the American ideal, there is a lot of work to do and to catch-up, Europe, with all its flaws and its own kind of degenerative democracy have a decade, at most, before facing similar challenges that the US just barely resisted to. The damage done cannot be undone.
