love blindly and hate with a focus love blindly and hate with a focus brett 29 nc dc he him politics public policy economics international relations philosophy sociology and geography also bad music found footage horror movies urbex etc 12 jan in 2023 i did a survey of military contractors trying to target policymakers with ads on wmata washington dc s public transit system since then wmata actually changed their rules to make it easier for military contractors to advertise this has led to an absurd double standard wmata recently denied an ad from anti war group world beyond war on spurious grounds even while accepting massive numbers of pro war ads from for profit contractors war porn beats out venezuela peace messages in dc metro as arms contractors blanket wmata stations with ads an anti war group s message was rejected under rules that favor the military industrial responsible statecraft under the old rules military contractor ads were in apparent violation of guideline 14 s straightforward ban on ads intended to influence public policy but under the new rules government contractors are now exempt from guideline 14 via a carveout for advertisers that are offering goods and or services to the government no such exemption was made for peace groups like world beyond war who typically take the opposite position of military contractors in debates over pentagon policy wmata s new rules gave military contractors other exemptions as well guideline 9 the legally questionable rule that world beyond war was accused of violating now explicitly prohibits advertisers from taking a position on any governmental action or inaction other than offering goods and or services to the government emphasis added in other words for profit advertisers with money at stake are now one of the only groups allowed to share their opinions on political issues surrounding military spending and acquisitions the aclu seems to regard wmata s internal procedures with skepticism requesting a discovery process into their development and meaning it s easy to see why if upheld these new rules would effectively legalize for profit advertising in favor of militarism while banning most non profit advertising critical of militarism there is also another reason to be skeptical of the new rules wmata does not seriously enforce them in the year since its internal procedures document was released wmata has accepted multiple ad campaigns that are in clear violation of guidelines 9 and 14 click through to read more 20 jan trump s warmongering is so aggressive that he has the pro nato liberal government in canada talking like they re about to join the non aligned movement mark carney prime minister of canada 20 january 2026 for decades countries like canada prospered under what we called the rules based international order we joined its institutions we praised its principles we benefited from its predictability and because of that we could pursue values based foreign policies under its protection we knew the story of the international rules based order was partially false that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically and we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim this fiction was useful and american hegemony in particular helped provide public goods open sea lanes a stable financial system collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes so we placed the sign in the window we participated in the rituals and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality this bargain no longer works let me be direct we are in the midst of a rupture not a transition over the past two decades a series of crises in finance health energy and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration but more recently great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons tariffs as leverage financial infrastructure as coercion supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited you cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination the multilateral institutions on which the middle powers have relied the wto the un the cop the architecture the very architecture of collective problem solving are under threat and as a result many countries are drawing the same conclusions that they must develop greater strategic autonomy in energy food critical minerals in finance and supply chains and this impulse is understandable a country that can t feed itself fuel itself or defend itself has few options when the rules no longer protect you you must protect yourself but let s be clear eyed about where this leads a world of fortresses will be poorer more fragile and less sustainable and there is another truth if great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships allies will diversify to hedge against uncertainty collective investments in resilience are cheaper than everyone building their own fortresses shared standards reduce fragmentations complementarities are positive sum and the question for middle powers like canada is not whether to adapt to the new reality we must the question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls or whether we can do something more ambitious 19 jan prettykikimora 18 jan dragon in a fez galaxy brain sentence from the wikipedia page for death stranding 2 via yirzmo 18 jan afloweroutofstone god bless our dead marines
