A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied. But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other. One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion. The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon. And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another. The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there. The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other. Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

كثير من الناس لا يفهمون فرنسا، ولم يقرأوا شيئاً عن تاريخها، ولذلك يتعاملون مع المظاهرات الحالية في باريس وكأنها بداية انهيار الحضارة الأوروبية، أو مقدمة لحرب أهلية بين المهاجرين والسكان الأصليين، وبين البيض وغير البيض. هذه التصورات السخيفة ليست سوى إسقاطات أيديولوجية يروّج لها بالدرجة الأولى اليمين الأمريكي والأنجلو ساكسوني، الذي يعاني من جهل فادح بتاريخ أوروبا، ولا يفهم طبيعة المجتمعات الأوروبية وثقافتها السياسية وتاريخ الحراك الشعبي فيها. هناك حقيقة أساسية يجب فهمها، وهي أن فرنسا ليست الولايات المتحدة، والفرنسيين ليسوا الأمريكيين أو الكنديين أو الأستراليين. فرنسا تملك واحدة من أكثر الشعوب وعياً سياسياً، ومن أعرق ثقافات الحراك الشعبي والنضال الاجتماعي في العالم. وتاريخها ليس مجرد تاريخ من المظاهرات السلمية، بل تاريخ حافل بالثورات والانتفاضات والإضرابات التي أسقطت ملوكاً وحكومات، وأعادت تشكيل النظام السياسي الفرنسي مراراً. ولا أتحدث هنا فقط عن الثورة الفرنسية عام 1789، التي أطاحت بالنظام الملكي القديم وغيّرت تاريخ أوروبا بأكمله. في عام 1830، أسقط الفرنسيون الملك شارل العاشر بعد ثلاثة أيام من الانتفاضة الشعبية في باريس. وفي عام 1848 أطاحوا بملكية يوليو وأعلنوا الجمهورية الثانية. وفي عام 1871 انتفضت باريس مجدداً وأقامت الكومونة، التي انتهت بمواجهات دموية قُتل خلالها آلاف الفرنسيين. وفي عام 1936، اجتاحت فرنسا موجة هائلة من الإضرابات العمالية التي أجبرت السلطة وأرباب العمل على تقديم تنازلات تاريخية، بينها إقرار أسبوع العمل من 40 ساعة والإجازات السنوية المدفوعة. أما المثال الأكثر إثارة فهو ما حدث في مايو 1968، عندما بدأت الاحتجاجات من الجامعات الفرنسية، قبل أن تتحول إلى انتفاضة شعبية انضم إليها نحو 10 ملايين عامل، وشلّت فرنسا اقتصادياً واجتماعياً وسياسياً. تخيلوا أن هذه الانتفاضة كادت تطيح بحكم شارل ديغول نفسه، الرجل الذي قاد فرنسا الحرة خلال الحرب العالمية الثانية وأصبح بطلاً قومياً في نظر ملايين الفرنسيين. ومع ذلك، لم يتردد الفرنسيون في النزول إلى الشوارع ضده، حتى اضطر إلى حل الجمعية الوطنية وإجراء انتخابات جديدة، قبل أن تنتهي رئاسته عام 1969. ثم جاءت إضرابات عام 1995 التي شلّت وسائل النقل ومؤسسات الدولة، واحتجاجات الطلاب عام 2006 التي أجبرت الحكومة على التراجع عن قانون العمل الجديد، وانتفاضة السترات الصفراء عام 2018 التي هزّت باريس لأشهر بسبب الضرائب على الوقود والضغوط الاقتصادية، وصولاً إلى المظاهرات المليونية ضد إصلاح نظام التقاعد عام 2023. كل هذا التاريخ، ثم يخرج علينا أمريكي لم يقرأ كتاباً عن فرنسا ليخبرنا أن المظاهرات الحالية تعني أن الأوروبيين على وشك الدخول في حرب أهلية بين البيض والمهاجرين! المشكلة أن الأمريكيين والأنجلو ساكسون عموماً ينظرون إلى المجتمعات الأوروبية من خلال ثقافتهم السياسية الخانعة للمؤسسة الحاكمة، وهي ثقافة أكثر بروداً وخضوعاً للسلطة، ولا تملك تاريخاً من النضال الشعبي الجذري يقترب من التاريخ الفرنسي. فالحقوق التي يعتبرها الأوروبيون بديهية، والتي انتزعتها شعوبهم عبر أجيال من الإضرابات والمواجهات مع الحكومات وأرباب العمل، لا تزال في الولايات المتحدة نفسها موضع جدل سياسي، أو امتيازات لا يستطيع ملايين الأمريكيين الحصول عليها. الأمريكي يقبل أن يعيش في دولة يدفع فيها ضرائب هائلة، ثم يضطر إلى دفع عشرات آلاف الدولارات للتعليم الجامعي، وقد يجد نفسه غارقاً في الديون بسبب فاتورة علاج طبي. أما الفرنسي، فلا يقبل بسهولة أن تتراجع الدولة عن مسؤولياتها في توفير الرعاية الصحية والتعليم والخدمات العامة والحماية الاجتماعية، لأنه يعتبر هذه الحقوق جزءاً من العقد الاجتماعي الذي انتزعته الأجيال السابقة بالنضال. وهذا هو الفرق الجوهري بين الثقافتين. الفرنسيون لا يرون أن عليهم شكر حكوماتهم على الحقوق الاجتماعية التي يتمتعون بها، بل يرون أن الحكومات ملزمة بتوفيرها مقابل الضرائب التي يدفعونها، وأن عليهم النزول إلى الشوارع إذا حاولت السلطة الانتقاص منها. وهذه الثقافة لا تقتصر على فرنسا، فإيطاليا أيضاً تملك تاريخاً هائلاً من الإضرابات والحركات العمالية والانتفاضات الشعبية، وكذلك العديد من الدول الأوروبية التي اعتادت شعوبها على مواجهة الحكومات في الشوارع دفاعاً عن مصالحها.

It’s direct action with no theory. Lenin literally wrote about this—without theory, there’s no revolution. The protests are amazing at showing working-class rage, but because they lack a cohesive structural alternative to capitalism, the state just waits them out. It keeps the status quo perfectly intact. Effectively, there needs to be direct action which is guided by strict political theory and a long-term organisational strategy. This can’t happen if there is no political organisation aiding with this, and I think that’s the ultimate issue.
If French protests are so effective why are they still stuck with neoliberalism? Why is their country still loyal to Israel and NATO? Why is the French ruling class completely unresponsive to French protester demands? You guys realize that this is like the 100th time in the last 10 years that France has erupted in protests over neoliberalism right? Americans tend to romanticize these protests but what have they accomplished? French protesters engage in revolutionary adventurism but don’t have a follow up on how to change the system in a meaningful way. So we repeat the same cycle over and over This is not a diss on the French protesters at all because they are just reacting to their material conditions, which is normal. But at what point do we begin having the conversation that western liberal democracy as a whole completely failed and no amount of “protests” will fix it. Protests without further revolutionary action of building real dual power seems to amount to nothing in the west

Congratulations to Albania for not allowing a feudal zionist dictatorship controlled by #Kushner to be installed in your country!
The Supreme Court burns to the ground in Albania, Parliament and the Department of Education has been stormed, the Prime Minister is in hiding and the country is effectively in the hands of the rebels. Albania rejects blatant corruption and their country being sold.

One day isn't a protest. To be effective, protests must be sustained over long periods of time. Also, Democrats aren't a solution since they're just Blue Republicans.

Awesome turnout. Now we need the same for voter turnout. In honor of the NO KINGS rally, reach out to someone who isn't paying attention or perhaps follows no news at all. Casually drop a truth bomb or two, and ask if they have a plan to vote because ... THIS 👇🏼

Let me explain what’s happening in France. 🇫🇷 For years, students and citizens have felt ignored by a government that has repeatedly failed to listen to them. And now, people have finally reached their breaking point. This isn’t some petty tantrum. We’re talking about very basic educational inequality and working conditions that a supposedly first-world country should be able to provide. While private institutions may remain largely unaffected, public schools and the students who depend on them continue to bear the consequences. And with the next presidential election approaching, and the far right playing an increasingly prominent role in france’s politics, frustration is turning into anger, and anger is spilling into the streets. Do not let the media convince you that this came out of nowhere. This was inevitable. The actual protestors have manifested incredibly peacefully and have shown the true heart of their country, but as with so many large demonstrations in France, tensions escalate. Police brutality only fuels the fire, while others exploit the chaos as an excuse to vandalize and destroy the cities we love. I will never condone that destruction. But I can understand where some of that anger comes from. When people feel that their families, their futures, and their most basic needs have been ignored for years, resentment builds up. It genuinely breaks my heart to see my city burn the way it did yesterday. Paris is my home, and watching it suffer like this is devastating. But we’ve been talking about actual change for over fifteen years, and I sincerely hope that, this time, someone in power finally listens before things get even worse. I stand with everyone who has suffered through this chaos, whether they were protesting peacefully, simply trying to get home, or watching their cities being destroyed 😔🖤

Video of masked Israeli settlers striking European diplomats and elected officials near Taybeh, a Christian village in Palestine. The 78-year-old French mayor Bernard Baudoux was thrown to the ground and beaten with iron bars. Make no mistake: If the Israeli government wanted to put an end to this, they could within minutes. They don't. Just like Biden pretended that he wanted a ceasefire, but in reality worked tirelessly to enable Israel's genocide. They are playing the same trick on us again.

We are living through a spiritual holocaust for the genuine and gentle-hearted. Never before has the world so perfectly punished all that is best in the human soul, and so rewarded the opposite. This is the age of the psychopath. The thing that makes me saddest is how well most people seem to adapt as we continue to slide into this hell. If they're actually adapting, then that's fucked that the average person has the capacity to be so cold. If they're just pretending to, they're letting their own status-signaling outweigh the good they could do by speaking out.

Why would European countries ruin their own economies in order to fight to the last Ukrainian? - Prof Richard Wolff Prof Wolff believes that they want to cash in on the disintegration of Russia. ➡️ They also want to appear powerful; to restore their global image as colonisers. The EU as powerhouse, as a world power. The opposite will happen. Europe will suffer a hangover for 20 years, which no tablet can cure.

Macron says the protests are fallout from Trump's war on Iran. The fuel spike is real. But the schools were empty before the war. The hospitals were underfunded before the war. The €63 billion defence budget was doubling before the war. The war is not the cause. It is the alibi. The cause is the fiscal architecture that prioritises the arsenal over the classroom. "France is not part of the war"—but France arms it, finances it, and positions itself at the core of the European military pillar. Do not let the external shock displace the internal contradiction. x.com/Megatron_ron/status/21…
