    So we are, in fact, seeing a nuclear war in the making?

    My experience is that the ignorant ridicule knowledge. They proudly shout NEVER ‘ERD OF IT, and mock. They certainly have no interest in learning and associate intellect and love of books with effeminacy and weakness.

    Men in the workplace have grabbed books from me and made me play “piggy in the middle”, throwing my book round the room until it’s destroyed. One of my socialist pamphlets (Questions of the Day) was used to mop the floor, and presented to me thus, gloatingly.

    When asked what I do, and being told that I teach French, I was smirked at and told “You don’t look like you can do anything.”

    But maybe I just don’t have the social skills others have.

    My elitist attitude.

    As a socialist, are you telling me, that as you’ve gone through life surrounded by patriotic ignoramuses mocking your socialism, poo-pooing it, proud of their ignorance, ridiculing your knowledge, your experiences, etc., that you don’t feel any superiority to them? I can’t believe that.

    But the anti-Trump blowback is just that. It isn’t anti-capitalism, just anti-Trump. The Left are wrapping themselves in the flag and supporting NATO.

    Yes. The worst thing is, these nutjobs don’t seem to have any fear for the possible wars they invite. They must think they’d be fine in their luxury bunkers.

    I think this is the excuse the Boy wanted to cut welfare payments drastically and to wage war on his real enemy: us, the proletariat.

    And while it is true that Russia is a ruthlessly authoritarian state, in which it would be impossible to spread socialist ideas, I don’t think Putin wants to annex beyond Ukraine and possibly Moldova. I don’t think he wants Ukraine; just the parts he has taken. Which is unfortunate for those living there, but at least they won’t be bombed any more.
    Those trying to persuade us that Putin wants to conquer Europe are playing on most people’s childish narrative of WW2 and of wars in general as a struggle between dictatorial maniacs and nice kind democrats. One has to look at the economic realities.

    Only Trump and Putin can make “peace” in Ukraine.

    Starmer’s and Macron’s “peace” is to send in troops (which will mean us all being fried!), or to continue supplying munitions to Ukraine, which will make use of them.

    So, only the biggies can do the deal, and the others will have to shut up, eventually.
