With one of my favorite quotes ever –
ALT The world's most primitive people have few possessions, *but they are not poor*. Poverty is not a certain small amount of goods, nor is it just a relation between means and ends; above all it is a relation between people. Poverty is a social status. As such it is the invention of civilization.
How many more times do we need to see Beckham? I swear this hasn't happened at other tournaments.

europe spent 400 years using slave labour in colonies to build their wealth, rebranded this extraction model in the 20th century and somehow their citizens still believe their social conditions is a result of some superior intellect rather than inhuman violence

Must read. In one interview Michael Hudson identifies the root of today's grossly unfair, unstable economy and sums up almost everything I've been clumsily trying to get across on this site over the past couple of years. Please share. nakedcapitalism.com/2026/06/…
Isn't it weird how the arctic monkeys have completely left the public consciousness. 2006-2013 they were the biggest band in the UK by a mile and now they're totally absent.
Biggest self-immolation of a legacy in years imo.

I saw this at the Financial Times. British establishment journalists have been indoctrinated—starting young at elite private schools—with the views needed to oversee the propaganda system
Many have literally never had an independent thought. What they do is spout received wisdom
So when someone probes one of their ideas it falls apart because they’ve learnt it by rote - there has been no conscious processing of information. They believe something, but don’t know why. They’ve just heard some authority say it
The top echelons of British journalism industry are, consequently, some of the most unimpressive people on the planet. Anyone capable of independent thought - and critical analysis outside the confines of establishment shibboleths - is filtered out very early

The petty bourgeois cult of rugged individualism is pure fantasy. We exist in a social order that inextricably links your survival and welfare to that of "random people." No individual can maintain the diversity of production needed to sustain themselves, and you can't eat money.
