The Last Days of Mankind
Pankaj Mishra (N+1)
(...) [J]ournalism had moved from being a neutral filter between the popular imagination and the external world. It had taken charge of forging reality itself. (...)
(...) Today, the war on terror is widely accepted as a military and geopolitical failure. But it is still not fully understood as a massive intellectual and moral fiasco: an attempt by the Western media as well as the political class to forge reality itself, which failed catastrophically, but not without embedding cruelty and mendacity deep and enduringly in public life. And partly because this disaster was unacknowledgedâeditors and writers pushing false narratives, and cheerleading large-scale violence, remained entrenched, and even received promotionsâit is being reenacted today in the Western mediaâs coverage of Israelâs war on Gaza: another war that has ignited a bonfire of international legal and moral norms and deadened and perverted consciences.

De l'animalité des animaux à l'animalisation des hommes il n'y a qu'un pas⊠Un constat que fait la sociologue Kaoutar Harchi dans son nouveau livre, "Ainsi l'animal et nous", publié aux éditions Actes Sud.
Avec
Kaoutar Harchi Sociologue, romanciĂšre
Dans son dernier essai, Kaoutar Harchi Ă©tablit des liens entre le traitement des bĂȘtes, et celui que lâon rĂ©serve aux femmes, aux esclaves, aux ouvriers, aux personnes racisĂ©es⊠Comme lâHomme domine les animaux, il animalise aussi certaines populations⊠Câest ce processus dâanimalisation qui rime ici avec domination que notre invitĂ©e va nous expliquer... Quâavons-nous fait des animaux ? nous ĂȘtres humains⊠nous les avons domestiquĂ©s, dressĂ©s, enfermĂ©s, tuĂ©s, consommĂ©s⊠parce quâimaginĂ©s dans un bas-monde, oĂč les animaux seraient infĂ©rieurs, considĂ©rĂ©s, comme la Nature pendant longtemps, au service de lâhommeâŠ
Donald Trump Is a Threat to Democracy, and Saying So Is Not Incitement Opposing political violence does not mean ignoring authoritarianism.
Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. That was true before an assassination attempt was foiled at his golf course Sunday, and it remains true after. Political violence in general, and assassinating presidential candidates specifically, also poses risks to democracy.
There is no contradiction between these ideas whatsoever. Yet Trumpâs supporters have responded to both attempts on his life by muddying the waters, exploiting the near-tragedies with cynical efforts to redefine critiques of Trumpâs authoritarian inclinations as violent provocation.
In the wake of the news from Florida, Trump defenders began spreading this line reflexively. Conservative commentator Ben Domenech: âThe commentariat insists on owning zero consequences for their constant repetition that Trump is an existential threat whose election will bring bloody fascism, when itâs absolutely obvious it motivated this would-be assassin.â Miranda Devine in the New York Post: âReckless rhetoric from Dems and media to blame for second Trump assassination attempt.â
Moderates and liberals, who correctly believe in upholding democratic norms, especially nonviolence, might be tempted to understand these arguments as a species of principle. But the effort to rule criticism of Trumpâs authoritarianism as dangerous and out of bounds is not motivated by or related to any defense of democracy or nonviolence. It is a purely cynical attempt to foam the runway for the election of a dangerous man. ...
