As far as we know (I know): The pandemic is over but the virus has been mutating, it's "sources" aren't understood by far or knowledge blocked as knowing is political as capitalism is no empire at all - it's a condition.

🇬🇧 "Who benefited from the British Empire? In the metropole, did it benefit wealthy landed aristocrats and financiers of the City of London, or did the Empire create employment and cheap goods for British workers? What was the impact on different parts of the empire, and different social groups, as they were drawn into a global economy?" https://youtu.be/_3iQ3zJEIko #Youtube #Video #Videos #Lecture #History #Histodon #Histodons #Britain #GB #UnitedKingdom #UK #Empire #Economics #Economy @histodon @histodons @econhist

Reminiscent of the treatment of Indian troops in WW1, so movingly evoked by #AkramKhan in his unforgettable dance work "Xenos'. The #Empire was a voracious machine, as is its successor, #Capitalism. Both built on forms of #Piracy and #Slavery

“For many Native Hawaiians, the ruins of Lahaina are a harbinger of what’s to come if Hawaiʻi continues to follow the capitalist system under US occupation.”
It is encouraging to see calls for #decolonization from within the US #Empire. Nationalism can be a tricky beast, & I hope Hawaiians navigate it better than others undergoing the same process.

"In The Currency of Empire, Jonathan Barth explores the intersection of money and power in the early years of North American history, and he shows how the control of money informed English imperial action overseas."

Dear friends, My new article is out! https://doi.org/10.1093/ehr/cead105
How did spies make fake news in 1935 Palestine?
Well,
Our story begins with an exposé in the Palestinian press: famous anti-colonial writer Shakib Arslan asks the Mufti of Jerusalem, Amin al-Husayni, to cooperate with Italy's anti-British propaganda. 1/

“Opposing The #Empire Means Widening Our Circles Of Compassion”
by Caitlin Johnstone on @substack
“In trying to get people to care about #warmongering and #imperialism what we’re really trying to do is get people to widen their circle of compassion to the furthest extent possible. To extend their care for the people around them to include caring about violence and abuse against people even on the other side of the world.”

“Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it. With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness – and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling – their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability.
Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.
Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
― Arundhati Roy, War Talk
“Mitch #McConnell’s Brief Flash of Humanity”
By Caitlin Johnstone on @substack
“In that moment of amnesiac innocence, you’d never be able to tell from looking at Mitch McConnell how many people he’s helped kill. How much suffering he’s helped cause. How much health and thriving he’s frozen out of humanity in his joyless facilitation of corporate dystopia.”
