Why should the latest defeat of Greece’s parliamentary democracy matter to you? Because, my dear reader, you should never underestimate Greece’s capacity to be the harbinger of terrible developments that will come to your shores before you know it. https://unherd.com/2022/09/a-greek-watergate-threatens-the-west/

From colonial powers forcing countries into debt from independence, to corporations today like @BlackRock making huge profits from debt repayments - we can’t fight this debt crisis without understanding its roots in racism.

Here's the ECB's Isabel Schnabel directly acknowledging that the rise in inflation has been driven by energy prices and broken supply chains, which the ECB can do nothing about by hiking rates. Still, the ECB is now committed to deepening the recession to push down incomes/wages.

I am not “fighting” cancer, because it is not a war. I am not “surviving” it, at least no more than every human alive is “surviving” life, the only certainty of which is death....
