"In This World..."

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 minute ago
"In this world, the thing people fear the most, and what pains people the most - is giving more than they receive. God forbid I cut off more of my fingernail for you than you cut from your fingernail, for me! Heaven forbid I hold my breath in longer while thinking about you, than the amount of time your breath is held in for me! Not a second longer! It is a sad fact of human nature that there you stand as an Infinite Soul and yet your greatest fear is not receiving from another person in proportion to what you give. Your viewpoint is low, your vision is clouded. You have become, in... more »

Almost Forgot To Tell You Who Won The Debates!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 7 minutes ago
I think it was pretty obvious which candidates made a good impression and which candidates made a bad impression and which candidates made no impression at all. My own gut reaction for night one was that Elizabeth Warren cleaned up. No one came close— especially in the first half of the debate. I thought that Julian Castro made a good impression and so did de Blasio, Booker and Jay Inslee. Beto bombed. Klobuchar, Tulsi and Ryan were stiffs. Delaney was the worst. On night two, Biden bombed— as did Frackenlooper, Gillibrand and Pete. Kamala had the outstanding performance (although... more »

"So This Is Hell..."

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 8 minutes ago
"Why did people call it Hell?" I wondered. No place was Hell, no place could be Hell. It's the people calling it Hell, that's the only thing that made it so. People just sticking names on places, so that no one could see those places properly anymore. No, Hell wasn't anything to do with place, Hell was all to do with people. Maybe Hell was people." - John Marsden ◆ “So this is hell. I'd never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the "burning marl." Old wives' tales! There's no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is - other peop... more »

*Reuters:* *Russia agrees with Saudi Arabia to extend OPEC+ oil output deal* OSAKA/VIENNA (Reuters) - Russia has agreed with Saudi Arabia to extend by six to nine months a deal with OPEC on reducing oil output, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, as oil prices come under renewed pressure from rising U.S. supplies and a slowing global economy.

On Nationalism and Renaissance

Unknown at The Verma Report - 1 hour ago
The intellectuals who condemn nationalism are ignoring the connection between nationalism and renaissance. Every renaissance that humanity has experienced in the past has been inspired by the desire of the people in a nation to revive the glorious culture that their ancestors had created through their political, intellectual, economic, and militaristic achievements. A renaissance, by definition, is a revival, a reawakening, a rebirth. A political and cultural movement to radically transform a country (a renaissance), can succeed only when a large section of the population has a goo... more »

Beto O'Rourke's 'War Tax' Could Help End America's Wars

Sarah Kreps at The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Sarah Kreps* *Security, Americas* [image: Flickr / U.S. Department of Defense] The idea of war taxes should not be dismissed by progressives as neoliberal, capitalistic claptraps. Beto O’Rourke recently pitched the idea of a war tax, one of the more iconoclastic proposals of the 2020 Democratic primary. According to his proposal, households that make more than $200,000 would pay $1,000 a year, those making less than $3,000 would pay $25, and the revenues would go toward veterans’ health care. Noah Berlatsky at NBC Think immediately labeled it “the most radical antiwar policy” o... more »

Why China Can't Sell Its 'One Country' Narrative

Robert Keatley at The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Robert Keatley* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] An increasing percentage of Hong Kong's residents consider themselves to be Hong Kongers, not citizens of the People’s Republic of China, and that rankles Xi Jinping and other leaders. About two million residents took to the streets to protest subversion of their civil liberties. As a result, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam shelved a reviled extradition bill and apologized profusely for misreading the public’s mood and promised to do better. And she very well may be able to do better—if she manages to keep her job. In the en... more »
