You are.
You are the terrorists, who are 7000 miles away from home, bombing eight+ countries for profit and power.
You are the terrorists who have killed over 4,5 million civilians and destroyed tens of millions of lives - since 2001 alone.
You are the terrorists who have murdered an additional 38 million people worldwide due to your starvation and sanction politics.
You are the terrorists who have created and funded Al Qaida and ISIS to unleash chaos, death and destruction all over the world.
You are the terrorists who are committing a genocide and literally threatening to dismantle the UN, the ICJ and the ICC to avoid ever being held accountable.
And you are the terrorists who are committing daily war crimes, thousands in Iran alone, in an illegal war of aggression that you have started by sabotaging Iran’s economy, infiltrating and inciting violence and murdering thousands of Iranians so that depraved brainwashed morons like you can justify your ongoing terrorism.
You. Are. The. Terrorists.
The left severely overestimates how radicalizing that a constant flow of negative information and doomposting is. I meet people on a regular basis that are checked out of social media because they are tired of the bad news. "I don't need to be more angry. I'm already angry"
"Ce lo dissero le mosche. Erano milioni e il loro ronzio era eloquente quasi quanto l’odore. Grosse come mosconi, all’inizio ci coprirono completamente, ignare della differenza tra vivi e morti.
Fu inseguendo le mosche che scoprimmo i cadaveri. Giacevano dappertutto, ammucchiati gli uni sugli altri, buttati nei vicoli, dentro le case, nei cortili. Donne, bambini, vecchi. Alcuni erano stati finiti con un colpo alla nuca, altri sgozzati, altri ancora crivellati di proiettili. Molti avevano le mani legate dietro la schiena.
L’odore era così denso che sembrava di poterlo toccare. Un odore dolciastro, nauseabondo, che si attaccava alla gola e agli abiti. E le mosche… le mosche erano dovunque. Entravano negli occhi, nella bocca, nelle narici. Non c’era modo di scacciarle. Erano le padrone del campo".
(Robert Fisk, dal suo reportage su Sabra e Chatila nel settembre 1982)
Capitalism spent decades telling people ownership was freedom, then quietly replaced ownership with subscriptions, licences, locked repair, platform rules, and revocable access. Apparently freedom now means monthly payments to use the thing you “bought.”
في عام ١٨٩٩ وقّع الأمريكيون مع المورو، وهم مسلمو جنوب الفلبين، معاهدة تعترف باستقلالهم وتحترم طريقة عيشهم. وفي عام ١٩٠٤ ألغى الأمريكيون المعاهدة من طرف واحد، وفرضوا على المورو ضرائب استعمارية وأمروهم بتسليم سلاحهم.
رفض المورو الخضوع، فلجأ مئات منهم رجالا ونساء وأطفالا إلى فوهة بركان خامد اسمه «بود داجو»، لا هربا للقتال بل خوفا من بطش القادم الجديد. أُرسل إليهم وسطاء يطلبون استسلامهم، فأبوا أن يسلّموا أرضهم لقوة أجنبية.
عندها أمر الجنرال ليونارد وود بهجوم شامل. ثلاثة أيام من القصف المدفعي والرشاشات على فوهة ضيقة محشوة بالبشر، وحين انتهى كل شيء كان قد سقط ما بين ٩٠٠ وألف قتيل، ولم ينجُ إلا حفنة لا تتجاوز أصابع اليدين.
وحين سأل العالم: كيف قُتل كل هؤلاء النساء والأطفال؟ كان جواب الجنرال: الرجال اتخذوهم دروعا بشرية. أي أن الضحية صار هو المتهم بموته.
دروع بشرية 👉🏻ألا تبدو العبارة مألوفة؟ هي نفسها التي بُرّر بها قتل المدنيين في فيتنام، ثم في العراق، ثم في غزة. لم تعد مصطلحا عسكريا، بل صارت نصا جاهزا كُتب على أجساد مسلمي #الفلبين قبل غيرهم بأكثر من قرن.
فقبل أن تقرر إلى أي جانب تقف، اعلم أن من يطلبون دعمك اليوم جرّبوا هذا النص نفسه على شعوب أخرى من قبل
This report is haunting even for someone who has documented the most horrific aspects of this genocide - which too many world leaders pretend not to see.
I commend the Commission of Inquiry for its effort to bring about accountability and make the truth accessible.
L'incontro (segreto) di ieri a Bruxelles tra Unione Europea e regime talebano, avente come oggetto la deportazione di rifugiati in Afghanistan, è la caduta dell’ultimo tabù.
Ormai l’era dei diritti umani è alle nostre spalle.

All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & others were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it?
NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I feel I have an answer and it is profoundly disturbing
🇮🇹 Meloni has been beyond subservient to Trump, and strongly aligned with Trump's agenda. She defended Trump after he called Europeans "parasites.”
She lobbied for him to get the Nobel peace prize, and based her failed foreign policy entirely on US dictates, right up to the disastrous war on Iran. Now, she feigns surprise when he publicly humiliates her.
Compare Meloni’s performance to when Italy’s ex-PM & FM Massimo D’Alema successfully secured a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon in 2006 and UN UNIFIl peace mission.
La solidarietà non va data a #Meloni, va data agli italiani che sono stati trascinati nell'imbarazzo da una premier che politicamente si è inchinata con subalternità a un pazzo autocrate che poi l'ha pure presa a pesci in faccia. Chi se ne frega della fotografia. #Trump
No, but that’s the point. “Terrorism” is not a word meant to be used with any sort of function beyond undermining movements that challenge capital and imperial efforts. Wrote a piece on this a while back.
Se il csx ha una chance è solo con un programma radicale su lavoro, povertà, sanità, scuola, fisco, edilizia popolare, integrazione, conflitti d'interesse, rinnovabili, piano industriale... Certo se metti Renzi in cartellone l'elettore vedrà l'esatto opposto
Scientists have identified a reversal of the long-standing Flynn effect—the roughly 200-year trend of rising average intelligence (measured via IQ and cognitive tests) across generations.
For the first time in modern recorded history, Generation Z (born roughly 1997–2012) shows lower performance than previous generations in key cognitive domains, including attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, problem-solving, and general IQ—despite spending more years in formal education than ever before.
Neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on January 15, 2026, highlighting this shift. In his written testimony, he stated that cognitive development in children across much of the developed world has stalled or reversed over the past two decades, with declines evident in international assessments (e.g., PISA, TIMSS) and other large-scale data starting around the mid-2000s and accelerating post-2010.
Horvath attributes the primary driver not to reduced schooling, but to the widespread integration of digital screens and educational technology (EdTech) in classrooms. He argues that human brains evolved for deep, focused learning through face-to-face interaction and sustained attention, not fragmented skimming or constant task-switching encouraged by devices.
Key points from his testimony include:
- Teens now spend over half their waking hours on screens, with significant portions in school involving computers or tablets—often leading to off-task behavior and shallower processing.
- Evidence from meta-analyses and national/international studies shows a consistent pattern: higher classroom screen exposure correlates with weaker outcomes in reading, math, science, and higher-order reasoning.
- Digital tools may aid narrow, repetitive skill practice in controlled settings, but in core academic contexts, they tend to reduce depth of understanding, retention, and critical thinking.
Horvath describes this as a "structural mismatch" between human cognition and how digital platforms are designed (to capture and fragment attention), warning that unchecked EdTech adoption risks long-term harm to workforce skills, innovation, and societal reasoning.

Israeli historian @bartov_omer speaking on prime-time TV in Italy:
“[Israel is] a country that is unwilling to face the truth, and that brings us to the issue of genocide... When genocide occurs, the entire society of the country perpetrating it becomes complicit in that genocide.
Therefore, we must ask ourselves: in the case of Israel, where there is a conscript army made up of the sons and daughters of most Israeli citizens, what does it mean for a country to be involved in these activities? It means that everyone becomes part of this event: those who carry it out, those who deny it, and those who do nothing to stop it...
In the case of Israel, this is a country going through a profound phase of denial...
When people say that criticism of Israel, criticism of Zionism, or even the rejection of Zionism is antisemitism, frankly, that is nonsense. It concerns the rejection of a specific ideology that is no longer sustainable.”

Il killer israeliano che a Hebron ha freddato un neonato palestinese di 7 mesi con un colpo alla testa potrà tranquillamente recuperare forze e concentrazione in qualche resort italiano visto che Meloni glielo consente: la storia siamo noi, direbbe De Gregori
