What Doesn't Bend, Breaks

The Trump administration did not rise, prima facie, like Venus on a half shell from the sea. Donald Trump is the result of a long process of political, cultural and social decay. He is a product of our failed democracy. The longer we perpetuate the fiction that we live in a functioning democracy, that Trump and the political mutations around him are somehow an aberrant deviation that can be vanquished in the next election, the more we will hurtle toward tyranny. The problem is not Trump. It is a political system, dominated by corporate power and the mandarins of the two major political parties, in which we don’t count.

Even if Trump wanted to gracefully bow out of public life – an unlikely outcome – liberals would keep on flogging his dead horse, for Trump has been their greatest asset. And well the liberals need to hold on to the ghost of Trump, as being “not-Trump” is their defining character now that liberalism is dead. Their agenda consists of simply carrying forward the same basic program of neoliberalism at home (but with diversity) and imperialism abroad (but with responsibility to protect) as Trump, only with more finesse.

How unfathomable it is that a blowhard, paunchy, septuagenarian with a dyed hair combover could lead a right-wing cult movement. Far more bizarre is that person is also the president of the US, who in the 2020 election received more votes than any candidate in history except for his successful challenger. Arguably a white supremist, he garnered 58% of the white voters but also 18% of the black male voters and 36% of the Latino men. That 83% of those who felt the economy was a prime issue chose Trump is an insight into why someone so repugnant could attract so many votes.

In short, the system has not been meeting the needs of its people, its naked dysfunctionality is bare for all to see, and the ruling circles are experiencing a crisis of legitimacy.

Major cities across Turkey face running out of water in the next few months, with warnings Istanbul has less than 45 days of water left.

Poor rainfall has led to the country’s most severe drought in a decade and put the megacity of 17 million people close to running out of water, according to Turkey’s chamber of chemical engineers. The Ankara mayor, Mansur Yavaş, said earlier this month the capital had another 110 days’ worth in dams and reservoirs.

İzmir and Bursa, Turkey’s next two biggest cities, are also struggling, with dams that are about 36% and 24% full respectively, and farmers in wheat-producing areas such as the Konya plain and Edirne province on the border with Greece and Bulgaria are warning of crop failure.

Five were wounded in the 1954 attack on the House of Representatives by Puerto Rican nationalists

he 1954 United States Capitol shooting was a terrorist attack on March 1, 1954, by four Puerto Rican nationalists wanting Puerto Rico's independence from US rule. They shot 30 rounds from semi-automatic pistols from the Ladies' Gallery (a balcony for visitors) of the House of Representatives chamber in the United States Capitol.

The nationalists, identified as Lolita Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa Cordero, and Irvin Flores Rodríguez, unfurled a Puerto Rican flag and began shooting at Representatives in the 83rd Congress, who were debating an immigration bill. Five Representatives were wounded, one seriously, but all recovered. The assailants were arrested, tried and convicted in federal court, and given long sentences, effectively life imprisonment. In 1978 and 1979, their sentences were commuted by President Jimmy Carter.[2] All four returned to Puerto Rico.

Cancel Yourself - good read

Does a majority of the population think it worthwhile to take a good deal of trouble, in order to halt and, if possible, reverse the current drift toward totalitarian control of everything?
...
People who think this is about Trump for me are the most ridiculous people. I never voted for him, supported him or took him seriously. While I recognize the role he played in the greater scheme of this massive historical cycle, the best thing that can happen is for him to disappear as a political force and be understood as the spectacle and distraction he was.
...
We swallowed it whole, became comfortable fat and happy, and now the facade’s about to be slowly stripped away unless we bend the knee to an ever narrowing Overton Window of speech and behavior parameters. It begins with social media purges, but it won’t end there.
...
In this regard, I have a simple suggestion. Cancel Yourself. Unshackle yourself mentally from our suffocating and bland corporate culture while you still have a chance to do it voluntarily.
...
Which brings us to the crux of this post. The internet in its current form is dying — it has been for some time, — yet it is far from dead. We all continue to use our Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter and Amazon products even though we know we shouldn’t. We’ve all become hostages to convenience and now an omnipresent sword of cancel culture hangs over our collective heads. ...

In case anyone doubts run away warming is baked in, consider the following...

US greenhouse gas emissions fell 10% in 2020 as Covid curbed travel
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/12/us-greenhouse-gas-em...
Global carbon emissions dropped a record 7% due to COVID-19. Don’t count on it to last

and...
2020 Ties With 2016 for Warmest Year Ever Recorded
https://time.com/5927597/warmest-year-on-record-2020/

Even with massive emission reduction that we could only dream about a year ago, we see continued warming. We are past the tipping point. Plan on more acceleration. Might be worth a look at your location and sustainability. Mountains are worth considering because you can move uphill as warming accelerates. Another thing to consider is underground shelter and greenhouses.

I've got probably a couple of decades remaining. I'll manage to weather whatever comes here, but I'm warning the young folks I know to really think about what is coming and how to adapt.

The political situation is horrid, but the environmental situation is deadly. So much for my cheerful thoughts today.

On the bright side I'm digging holes today for more trees. The carbon they soak up is insignificant, but at least it is the right direction. I've ordered Elderberries, Mulberries, Raspberries, Hazelnuts and Chestnuts this year. So I'm prepping holes for next months planting. Besides I need to get the rest of my load of manure out of the truck so I can use it for other projects.

Y'all have a good one, and keep safe...4000 deaths a day in the US lately from COVID.

COVID is raging. This from my friend, a nurse, who works downtown with adicts

From Marion, SC nurse---- Since we have talked about what seem like safe plans to spend time together soon, even though outdoors, I have reconsidered that decision based on the county's/state's recommendations given the huge surge in cases in CA and the 0% capacity of hospital beds, including in our county/the Bay Area. In addition, there's now the presence of the new variant of Covid, which has 50% higher transmissibility than the "regular old" Covid strain. Here's what the state website says today

Members of the same household are encouraged to maintain physical and mental health by safely going to a park, a beach, hike, walk, or bike ride with members of their own household [only].

I need to take this recommendation seriously, and frankly, until the stay-at-home order is lifted,

This from my daughter a nurse in Austin

As I sit and look at the ongoing rise of covid, in our county and around the world...I remain dismayed that those who are able to get vaccinated are waiting. I implore you both to get vaccinated as soon as possible/it is available. The benefit far outweighs the risk. Yes we are still waiting on long term data, but currently an at least 119 day 95% protection and extremely low risk profile. It would be devastating to me if either of you got a bad case of covid. I know you are being careful. But things are getting way worse. NJEM has good articles on both MRNA vaccines outlining the clinical data for review.

And this from an xray tech at Kaiser Permanente via a friend. He said that the number of people with lung problems from COVID in the beginning were one in five and now he is seeing four in five.

All this is anecdotal, but all came within two days. You do the math. Be very careful folks.

Thanks lo for all. Take good care.

@lotlizard Fascism was a phenomenon of an expanding capitalist system -- a reaction to the periodic crises of the boom-bust cycle as it took place during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The booms were nice, but the busts hurt, and so at some point all voices clamored to have the government step in and "fix" the economy. And they "fixed" it in the one way they knew, for the post-World-War-II Keynesian economy had not been invented yet -- as a reversion to dictatorship in a Europe that was slowly discovering democracy.

Fascism was also a response to imperialism. The primary beneficiaries of imperialism in the early 20th century, the era in which Fascism arose, were the British and the French. The wannabe countries of Europe wanted a sort of forced-march version that would allow them to catch up to the British and the French, as World War I did not satisfy their imperial ambitions. Fascism, in a pre-Keynesian era, appeared as a response.

William I. Robinson's The Global Police State offers an important analysis of the current trend in authoritarianism. Robinson uses the term "fascism" (with a small "f"), but with a caveat -- Robinson made a distinction between "20th-century fascism" and "21st-century fascism." I don't really think "21st-century fascism" deserves the name "fascism." Mostly this has to do with the fact that we here today are in a period of DECLINING capitalism. Today, authoritarianism is not a pre-Keynesian response to the instability of a growing capitalist system. Rather, authoritarianism is a political posture taken in privileged nations aiming to find scapegoats (for Trump, as indeed for the German Alternative fur Deutschland, "immigrants") for capitalism's decline. This scapegoating occurs in an era in which the scapegoaters and their authoritarian tactics have no claim upon the overall NEOLIBERAL elite consensus which rigidly guides the global economy in its current path. And they do this in an era in which global communication is dominated by the Internet, and not by easily-controlled newspapers and radio (which was what dominated the Fascist era, basically the 20th-century era between the wars.)

Perhaps the "21st-century fascists," to borrow from Robinson, want themselves to borrow from the "20th-century fascists," and adopt the costumes of low-level Hitler fanboys or whatever. In my opinion, however, there's still something relatively consumerist, puerile, and relatively powerless about them that denies them the label "fascists." So a new label for them should be found. "Pathetic wannabe fascists"?

@magiamma 20210115_081354 (2).jpg

It's been a bit over four months since the fire occurred. They like to call it a "wildfire" or the "Almeda Fire," but it was probably multiple arson, caused in all likelihood by men with drug issues who lived outdoors and who were persecuted by the cops for doing so. But, people are afraid of this conversation.

In the foreground is a plot that was burned to the ground (by what I am told were very hot fires) and whose owner (whose lawnmower I borrowed back when he had one here) has been waiting for equipment to be repaired before he builds. To the left is a house just starting up. In the background is a house with the external structure nearly finished. In the far background are workers building a new house. Distant right, you have owners who have left a burned-down car for (I suppose) eventual pickup by whomever their insurance selects, if (that is) they were insured for this fire before it happened.

To the left, and not in the picture, is the foundation for a house that is just now being put in. In sum, this is what I get to see every morning -- this changing, rebuilding, or not rebuilding, landscape. In some sort of ecotopian vision of the world it would all be rebuilt using permacultural methods. In all likelihood it will mostly be rebuilt like it was; an Eighties suburban housing development.

So that's where we are, four months after the fire, with the rebuilding in my neighborhood.

A lot, no? The house in the far background looks huge and more like an institution. Trees are gone unlike the Paradise fire. A number of people came here to stay after that. Some of the trees survived there but not the houses and some sleeping elders. Unless we get rain here there will be a repeat this summer. Embrace chaos bc we have no choice, I guess.

@magiamma when there's nothing but cleared land and devastation around them. I think the trees were burned because the fire was so hot -- there was a fire in Talent, same day, that burned buildings but not trees. Are you sure you can't sell and move northward? One of the reasons I came to Oregon was that it does indeed rain here.

Thanks especially for the perfect encapsulation of what is really going down socio-politically, a sad, sorry prediction that is almost guaranteed to be true:

Even if Trump wanted to gracefully bow out of public life – an unlikely outcome – liberals would keep on flogging his dead horse, for Trump has been their greatest asset. And well the liberals need to hold on to the ghost of Trump, as being “not-Trump” is their defining character now that liberalism is dead. Their agenda consists of simply carrying forward the same basic program of neoliberalism at home (but with diversity) and imperialism abroad (but with responsibility to protect) as Trump, only with more finesse.

Sadly, I'm not so sure I fully agree with this:

In short, the system has not been meeting the needs of its people, its naked dysfunctionality is bare for all to see, and the ruling circles are experiencing a crisis of legitimacy.

Technically it is correct, but, as they say "There are none so blind as those who will not see" and I fear that while it is there for all to see, far too many of we, the hoi polloi, won't see it clearly enough, and the ruling circles will really amp up the firehose of propaganda and deciet and their legions of hired and highly skilled psyops minions and simply keep the ball rolling with only a stutter. I hope I'm wrong, but it seems that I've seen this movie and/or read about it many, many times.

The whole southwestern US is warming and will continue to. It just may be to late to do anything. There are some great example of de-desertification however. So there’s that.

This is from the article and pretty much says it all...

“I always say climate change is water change,” says Udall, whose father was Arizona congressman Morris (Mo) Udall, an iconic environmental activist. “It means too much water, not enough water, water at the wrong time. It means reduced water quality. You get all of these things together as the earth warms up.”
