is when you have to explain to a fellow how NPR, as much as it might have shilled for US conflicts in the past, is a completely insignificant actor compared to RT, who have been a major global asset in hybrid warfare.

It is English but one that belongs to a world pre Suez. When they were coming to end of their influence in the world. It harks back to time of Empire. Which remains in some sections of modern society - furlock tugging to the masters in the big house.

A future of political theory, when justice is multispecies - Reconceptualising justice
"A narcissistic, colonial, and extractivist anthropocentric worldview, embodied in the individual subject and their rights, is not mere theory; it has been responsible for much violence and destruction across numerous human and more-than-human worlds. Human chauvinism and individualism have been replaced by principles of maintaining entangled coexistence of multiple entities in a relational system as the basis of ."

@paka 👆 A Brit invented underground sewers and mains drainage; now we pump it out into rivers.

It's similar to discovering that:

• The French🇫🇷 invented Yorkshire Pudding;

• The Japanese🇯🇵 invented ;

• EasternEuropeans invented .

(Or however the fcuk it all works...you get my point...
An Australian🇦🇺 invented pasties, and ...)

FFS!

Ironically, those foreigners are merely following the way "Romans" are treating their own rule of law; with some degree of impunity and entitled arrogance. "Tumpul ke atas, tajam ke bawah" is starting to develop competing strain: "tumpul ke lokal, tajam ke asing".

A quotation from Rogers, Will:

«««««
It always will seem funny to us United Staters that we are about the only ones that really know how to do everything right. I don’t know how a lot of these other Nations have existed as long as they have till we could get some of our people around and show ’em really how to be Pure and Good like us.

American hubris - New Statesman

The US is addicted to greatness – and haunted by its loss.

Great powers, both past and present, are haunted by three interconnected preoccupations: they are tempted by a sense of national superiority and claims to manifest historic destiny. Those pretensions tend to provoke fears of decline, which then give rise to projects of rebirth.
