Africa just SHOCKED the world with this and Putin is watching

The #unipolar #world #order is crumbling faster than ever before just look at #Africa which just shocked the world this weekend with country after country standing up to #Western #imperialism. #Russia President Putin has made #military deals and trade deals all across #Africa and protestors are raising Russian flags across the continent. No wonder the west is on high alert sending weapons and troops to the border of Niger. Africa is on the brink of a revolution.

A quotation by Borland, Hal

Man feels the need to rake leaves, clean up the summer’s remnants, proclaim his tenancy by making things neat and tidy. Nature doesn’t bother. The tree thrives on its own trash and the see sprouts in the parent plant’s midden heap. Each new season grows from the leftovers from the past. That is the essence of change, and change is the basic law. Nature hasn’t time to be neat and tidy.

Harold "Hal" Borland (1900-1978) American writer, journalist, naturalist
“Autumn’s Clutter,” New York Times (11 Nov 1962)

A quotation by Stanley, Jason

To many white Americans, President Obama must have been corrupt, because his very occupation of the White House was a kind of corruption of the traditional order. When women attain positions of political power usually reserved for men — or when Muslims, blacks, Jews, homosexuals, or “cosmopolitans” profit or even share the public goods of a democracy, such as healthcare — that is perceived as corruption.

Jason Stanley (b. 1969) American philosopher, epistemologist, academic

How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, ch. 2 (2018)

Imperial Abyss ~ Yanis Varoufakis, Richard D Wolff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN6ac59G6Bo

'It has been one year since #JoeBiden came into office. While he is at COP26 making weak and unconvincing commitments on the climate, the #collapse of the #world #order as we know it — from #environment to #geopolitics — seems #imminent. #RichardWolff and #YanisVaroufakis examine #Biden’s first year in office, and share their perspectives on the current #political and #economic order and its #future, from #techno-feudalism to the new #ColdWar on #China. They also speak about the ongoing #pandemic and the profound #transformations taking place in our time.'

The importance of #working #together

"We were saying, the importance of working together, the importance of #co-operation, because most of us live in a world that is completely broken, fragmented, a world in which there is constant struggle, one group against another group, one ideology against another, one nation against another, one class and so on. And technologically we are enormously in advance but there is more fragmentation than ever before. And as one observes factually what is going on, it is absolutely essential that man, that is, each one of us, learn how to co-operate. We cannot possibly work together about anything - it doesn't matter if it is about the new school, or the relationship with one another, or to end the monstrous wars that have been going on. If each individual, if each human being is isolating himself in an ideology, his life based on a principle, a discipline, a belief, a dogma, when there is such basis there cannot be co-operation. That seems to me so eminently obvious, there needs to be no discussion about it even. And we were saying, whether it is at all possible to break down all these values that one has deliberately built against others, whether it is at all possible for man to be free. That's what we were going to go into during these talks and discussions."
