So where does wokeism come from? A French intellectual gives the perfect bite-sized explainer
How did wokeism happen?
A French intellectual, who goes by Brivael Le Pogam on X, has written a tightly focused and brief explanation of it worthy of Eric Hoffer, putting his finger on the thinking of French philospher-historian Michel Foucault, French philosopher Jacques Derrida, and French philospher-literary critic Gilles Deleuze, the first of whom claimed there was no such thing as truth, just power relationships, the second of whom claimed truth was malleable, and the third of whom made the really weird claim that seeds were greater than fully developed trees because becoming was more important than being, poor romantic devil.
Married to guilt-tripping academics of the U.S., he explains how wokery was the result.

The lines we thought machines wouldn't cross
In 2000, the world braced for Y2K. It came with a date and a remedy.
There was panic about doomsday but as I and other programmers stretched the year field from two to four characters, apart from scattered hiccups, the lights stayed on.
Everything about Y2K was known — the problem, the solution, and the deadline.
Q-Day is something else entirely: Q-Day is shorthand for the moment when quantum computing crosses a line we assumed would hold — when the mathematics that secures modern life can be broken, and broken quickly.

Depopulation won't save us or the planet
In recent years, a strand of environmental thinking has emerged that places population at the center of ecological crises.
Some activists, including figures associated with the Extinction Rebellion and the Stop Having Kids movements in the United Kingdom and the United States have expressed anti-natalist views, arguing that choosing not to have children is a meaningful response to climate change.
The reasoning is lucid and, at first glance, convincing: fewer people should mean less consumption, lower emissions, and more space for the natural world to recover.
Yet this argument becomes less compelling when examined more carefully.

Inside the historic crossroads facing the Fatah movement
As Fatah holds its Eighth Congress, insiders tell Mondoweiss that the dominant movement in Palestinian politics for over 50 years is in disarray.
With Palestinians under threat on multiple fronts, the meeting may be the last chance to fix the crisis.
Today, the Palestinian National Liberation Movement, commonly known as Fatah, held its Eighth Congress in Ramallah.
As the ruling faction in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the dominant force within the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the movement's Congress convened during what PA President Mahmoud Abbas described at its opening session as a "pivotal" milestone in the Palestinian struggle.

🇨🇳Why Trump's China trip signifies the end of American primacy
Washington is no longer confronting Beijing from a position of unquestioned domination.
Last week's Trump-Xi summit produced no dramatic declaration or historic treaty - yet its importance may prove far greater than any immediate deliverable.
What happened in Beijing was not a breakthrough in policy but breakthrough in recognition: the United States openly acknowledged China as an equal center of global power.
That alone marks a historic turning point.

WHO in 'panic mode' as World Health Assembly kicks off
Today is first day of the World Health Organization's 79th annual World Health Assembly, where delegates come together to set policies and priorities for global health.
Essentially, it's a week-long exercise in saying, as loud and long possible, "We're really important." And thank goodness it came along when it did, because...wow.
The hantavirus outbreak is tearing through the world at the unstoppably terrifying rate of five whole deaths every two months.
That's about 30 deaths in a year or about 0.25% of the number of people who'll died from falling down stairs.

🇨🇦Canada's assisted suicide program could include children and the mentally ill
Canada's MAID program is the subject of ongoing concern among anti-globalist movements across the western world.
The assisted suicide system kills around 15,000 or more Canadians each year and is quickly expanding to include more and more people who are not terminally ill.
Almost all assisted suicide programs are created by liberal governments and all of them are initially promoted as a way to "end the suffering" of people who are close to death anyway.
However, this is merely the first stage of the greater goal, which is to normalize the government sanctioned killing of almost anyone for any reason.

🇬🇳Undersea volcano erupts in Papua New Guinea's Bismarck Sea prompting tsunami concerns
A volcano is erupting under the ocean in the Bismarck Sea, prompting warnings of possible tsunamis from authorities as ash and smoke bellow into the sky.
Papua New Guinea authorities have warned of falling pumice, ash, unpredictable swells and turbulent currents in the area near the eruption of the provisionally-named Titan Ridge Volcano.
Satellites have captured the event unfold from space, while seafarers in the area have seen it unfold.
One fisherman, Kennedy Masis, was searching for tuna when he "saw smoke coming out of the sea", he told the ABC. "Twelve years as a fisherman I've never seen anything like that ... it's scary.

🛸Eight never-before-seen UFO videos at center of explosive disclosure battle detailed by insider
A battle over UFO transparency has erupted in Washington as 'certain intelligence agencies' have been accused of withholding evidence from the American public.
Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail there is a 'bottleneck' inside US Central Command where footage of unidentified flying objects is being blocked from reaching officials seeking access to it.
Corbell said some members of Congress are now 'dead set' on forcing the release of the material 'come hell or high water,' with some lawmakers prepared to escalate the fight if agencies continue withholding records.
The growing disclosure battle has now centered on 46 classified military UFO videos that lawmakers recently demanded from the Department of War last month, which have yet to be released.

The Noble Savage
Eisenhower warned us: "Beware the military-industrial complex." Those words are widely remembered.
Less so the companion warning: "Holding scientific discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite." That second warning may prove the more prophetic.
The convergence of those two forces - the industrial machinery of power and the technological elite capable of shaping reality itself - is where we now find ourselves.

Study reveals one of world's first cities prospered as wealth-gap shrank
New research reveals that the 4,000-year-old city of Mohenjo-daro defied the 'rules' of history by becoming more equal as it became more successful.
For decades, historians have generally agreed that the progress of small villages as they evolved into cities came at the price of widening inequality.
A small group of leaders, Kings and priests, would inevitably seize control of the wealth and the gap between rich and poor would grow.
But a new study at the University of York delves into the archaeology of Mohenjo-daro, the Indus civilisation's largest city, and shows the opposite was true.

🇺🇸US no longer 'land of opportunity' - Merz
The German chancellor, long seen as pro-American, has said he no longer recommends the country for study or work.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said he will no longer recommend the United States as a destination for his children to study or work, citing what he described as a worsening "social climate" in America.
Speaking at a Catholic youth conference in Wuerzburg on Friday, the conservative leader said the US had become deeply polarized and a less appealing destination for young people.
"I am a great admirer of America," Merz said during a panel discussion.

We're living in the age of consequences
Lookie here... The United Arab Emirates recently announced it would quit OPEC after nearly six decades, striking a major blow to the oil cartel and to Saudi Arabia, its unofficial leader.
Let's be clear, the UAE didn't leave OPEC. They were bought out.
You may recall that this event was preceded by two major developments that tell the actual story.
The first was the shutting of the Strait of Hormuz (SoH). This bled UAE finances and continues to do so.

Citizenship without consent: Legal coercion by American deep state
Improving US-Russia relations under the Trump 2.0 administration is being challenged by alleged deep-state actions targeting Russian diplomats.
The forced granting of US citizenship to diplomats' children is portrayed as a violation of international diplomatic norms and a means of political pressure against Moscow.
Such contradictions in American immigration and foreign policy risk escalating tensions, undermining diplomatic progress, and provoking a potential Russian response.
Since the inception of the presidency of Donald Trump in January 2025, US-Russia relations have started improving to some extent.
