Advertising, marketing, propaganda. It programs people's brains. It is extremely powerful.

There are dozens of these mass brain-programming campaigns going on right now. It's been happening for many years ... maybe centuries.

Salut,

Peut-etre sommes nous trop indulgent vis à vis du journal le Figaro. Pour moi, il ne rentre pas dans le respect du code de conduite et on laisse passer.

Un certain nombre d'articles nous mettent en garde à ce sujet :

Est ce qu'on accepte un journal qui n'a pas changé de ligne éditoriale et matient de tel propos sous couvert de diversités d'opinions et regard alternatif ?

Qu'en pensez-vous ?

More important than opposition to the current system is the prefiguration of an anarchic one. So much online discourse is about attacking, a lot less is about building. I drew this to remind myself and others that confronting the state is only a part of the puzzle and building new systems without it is also important.

I want to draw attention to the elephant in the room.

Leading up to the election, and perhaps even more prominently now, we've been seeing droves of people on the internet displaying a series of traits in common.

• Claiming to be leftists
• Dedicating most of their posting to dismantling any power possessed by the left
• Encouraging leftists not to vote or to vote for third party candidates
• Highlighting issues with the Democratic party as being disqualifying while ignoring the objectively worse positions held by the Republican party
• Attacking anyone who promotes defending leftist political power by claiming they are centrists and that the attacker is "to the left of them"
• Using US foreign policy as a moral cudgel to disempower any attempt at legitimate engagement with the US political system
• Seemingly doing nothing to actually mount resistance against authoritarianism

When you look at an aerial view of these behaviors in conjunction with one another, what they're accomplishing is pretty plain to see, in my opinion. It's a way of utilizing the moral scrupulousness of the left to cut our teeth out politically. We get so caught up in giving these arguments the benefit of the doubt and of making sure people who claim to be leftists have a platform that we're missing ideological parasites in our midst.

This is not a good-faith discourse. This is not friendly disagreement. This is, largely, not even internal disagreement. It is infiltration, and it's extremely effective.

Before attacking this argument as lacking proof, just do a little thought experiment with me. If there is a vector that allows authoritarians to dismantle all progress made by the left, to demotivate us and to detract from our ability to form coalitions and build solidarity, do you really think they wouldn't take advantage of it?

By refusing to ever question those who do nothing with their time in our spaces but try to drive a wedge between us, to take away our power and make us feel helpless and hopeless, we're giving them exactly that vector. I am telling you, they are using it.

We need to stop letting them. We need to see it for what it is, get the word out, and remember, as the political left, how to use the tools that we have to change society. It starts with us between one another. It starts with what we do in the spaces that we inhabit. They know this, and it's why they're targeting us here.

Stop being an easy target. Stop feeding the cuckoo.

A Ukrainian official was on the way to Washington for the signing. But a source said the U.S. was pushing Ukraine to sign two additional documents and that Kyiv felt it was premature.

Bessent denied the U.S. made any attempt to change the accord the two sides agreed to over the weekend.

The agreement, which would give the United States access to Ukraine's minerals deposits, is central to Kyiv's efforts to mend ties with U.S. President Donald Trump and the White House as Trump tries to secure a peace settlement in Russia's war in Ukraine.

Two sources told Reuters the signing could happen later on Wednesday. Ukraine's First Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko was flying to the United States to sign the deal, the country's prime minister said earlier.
