"Trump and Musk have launched a new class war. In the UK, we must prepare to defend ourselves"
"Since 2020, the wealth of the 12 richest men in the US has risen by a mere 193%. Collectively, the poor dears now own only $2tn."
Time to reread (or rewatch, but the book is better) "The Shock Doctrine".

Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg will be seated together on the platform at Donald Trump's inauguration
Well did you hear, there's a natural order
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Shit floats"
If you thought things had changed
Friend, you better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get it made overseas
That's the word, don't you know
From the guys that's running the show
Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Ah yeah
Oh yeah
Well feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill ya if ya' move in next to me
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
(Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world)
The free market is perfectly natural
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world
"Fuck the morals, does it make any money?"
And if you don't like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street
Yeah use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world

"World’s richest use up their fair share of 2025 carbon budget in 10 days"
So it's fair to use force to stop them burning any more carbon for the rest of the year, right?

For responding to people who think fact-checking on social media isn't that big a deal:
"The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is...people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist."
"In a totally fictitious world, failures need not be recorded, admitted, and remembered. Factuality itself depends for its continued existence upon the existence of the non-totalitarian world."
"Before [totalitarian] mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of men who can fabricate it."
"A people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please."
(Disclaimer: Arendt was a terrible racist, but she literally wrote the book on totalitarianism)

Since it looks like the CEO assassin might turn out to be a right-wing fuckwit, I'll be reminding people off my addition to the anarchist maxim:
No gods.
No masters.
Applaud the deed, not the doer.

"Among anarchism's founding premises was the idea that capitalist society was a place of constant violence: every law, every church, every paycheck was based on force. In such a world, to do nothing, to stand idly by while millions suffered, was itself to commit an act of violence. The question was not whether violence per se might be justified, but exactly how violence might be maximally effective for, in Most's words, annihilating the "beast of property" that "makes mankind miserable, and gains in cruelty and voracity with the progress of our so called civilization." "

"The rule of no realm is mine...
But all worthy things that are in peril
as the world now stands, those are my care.
And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task ...
if anything passes through this night
that can still grow fair or bear fruit
and flower again in days to come.
For I too am a steward. Did you not know?"

Unrelated to evil CEOs being shot:
I think it's time to reread "Juice" by Tim Winton and "The Ministry for the Future" by Kim Stanley Robinson.

I knew the CEO killing reminded me of something! Looks like someone's been reading their Lucy Parsons.
"Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or a knife, and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of extermination."

I'm passing this on from Reclaim The Power, a largely UK-based group fighting against dirty power stations.
Back in summer, Drax stole £60k of kit meant for our family friendly camp. Now they want to rob every household of £1,526 for their tree burning scam.
We are in a critical window to stop the Drax in their tracks, with a decision imminent from Ed Miliband. Without these subsidies, Drax's tree burning scam cannot continue. We must take action now, to shut Drax down, fund a worker led transition and facilitate reparations from Drax to the communities harmed.
There are three things you can do stop Drax:
Drax relies on its media machine to paint itself as green, so let's take our message to the streets to cut through the greenwash. We can spread the word to the public.
Email info@axedrax.uk to get designs to hack your local tube carriages or bus stops.
Join Axe Drax, Greenpeace, Climate Resistance and others for a demonstration to call on Ed Miliband to grant no subsidies for burning trees.
We need to know numbers to see what is possible to do, sort reimbursing travel and potentially sort accommodation.
Please sign up: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/no-subsidies-for-burning-trees
Let us know you are coming
Drax is everywhere, sponsoring corporate and industry events, desperately trying to greenwash their image to secure more subsidies. They are trying to present themselves as green, but we know this is lies. Sign up to crash a Drax event and disrupt their greenwash.
Sign up here: https://axedrax.uk/signup/
Drax is the dirtiest energy company in the UK, burning trees, fuelling climate breakdown and polluting communities all while we foot the bill. Let's take them down.
With rage and love,
Reclaim the Power
