Yes, things end but things also start. While the human race may well die at some point, we must live in the present. It all seems negative right now b...

The world is indeed changing, dramatically. I have no idea what you are trying to say here. Who is this 'outside world', who is 'we'? It doesn't just ...

It is possible to do both and more. Look at the effects at all levels. It is not a case of 'either/or' as your previous suggestion: *** @"jorndoe" is ...

What do you mean by that? And what does it mean for the way you feel and live your life now?

Thank you for this and the link. Positive and inspiring. Yes, we are all in this game of life, so we must try to keep our spirits from falling to the ...

Thanks to you both. Most interesting to hear your thoughts and speculations as to the European and Global Crisis. Useful analyses to consider. *** Per...

A name I recognised but who I hadn't explored. I was going to ask for the source - and I would love to hear more from you - however, I found this: htt...

Well, I am guilty of ignorance. Or a bad memory. I can't remember hearing about the Guinea worm. I'm glad you drew attention to the power of philanthr...

I've just watched the video you posted. A speech by the Conservative David Brooks from the ARC convention. A good mix of serious and humour. It was mo...

To backtrack a little: The term 'new world order' is, of course, not necessarily the same as 'order'. I meant it as the major change in American polit...

Again, thanks! I will need to respond another day...until then, then.

Thank you for repeating and clarifying what this thread is about. To reinforce: It is primarily a discussion about 'this moment' of crisis as being re...

Yes. But TPF brings us deep joy, no?! :chin: Time for some music... Joan Baez - We Shall Overcome (BBC Television Theatre, London - June 5, 1965) http...

For sure, there is a new world order. That much is obvious. We have an unpredictable American foreign policy, courtesy of Trump who seems to be siding...

Thank you for your informative and helpful exchanges. Oh dear, we are in deep shit, are we not?! :sad: At least, we can still talk about it...sharing ...

Yes. The madness came to the fore yesterday with the Trump-Zelensky meeting. I've discussed it here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment...

European or Global Crisis? The question mark can be dropped. Yesterday's scenes in the Oval Office horrified the world. Dealing for Peace. Trump sees ...

Thank you, Vera, for a substantial post. There's a lot to take in! I hope to read it and respond as soon as. :flower:

In the name of a promised change and a bright future. The promise to Make America Great Again. How's that working out? The voters who believed in the ...

If only Mill were alive to see how the libertarian progress and legislation made over centuries are now being ripped apart, decimated by powerful, mis...

Thank you, and others, for all that you have given. Everything written so well and easy to follow. Providing insight into the stuff of life and politi...

Yeah, one-upmanship is the name of the game. Media outlets are still available. Bernie Sanders seems to have mastered the art. Use of YouTube. Also in...

Those in power dictate the power. They can sap the energy of people, they kill and destroy in a predictable pattern. So, why are they never nipped in ...

It is also dangerous. Women are increasingly being targeted and eliminated from political positions. Many are fearful of females gaining power. They a...

Thanks for the encouragement, Paine. It was much needed. :sparkle:

The fact is that he holds and lives his honest and progressive beliefs. He speaks plainly and clearly to camera. He knows how to reach out in a 5 minu...

This is part of the European Crisis. A tipping point. It is linked to religion. I posted something earlier. It bears repeating. It is the first time I...

I am grateful to everyone who has shared their thoughts and experience. It has been eye-opening. However, I think it is time for me to stop posting. T...

*** Thank you both. It is stories like this and worse that people need to hear. To realise how lives change under a fascist movement and dictatorship....

It is dangerous even in non-authoritarian regimes. Our political representatives are at increased risk from threats and attacks. There is so much ange...

Yes, yes and YES! Re: education and involvement. Yes. But what, where and how? I think our education system still provides for political literacy in t...

Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. As always, your posts are substantive and thought-provoking. Helping to keep me - and others - en...

Exactly this. And less of the party pantomime and complacency. Organised resistance may well be costly but so is not doing anything. There was plenty ...

Thank you for the video. Times radio interviewing AfD MEP, Hans Neuhoff. So, arguments plainly given for the need to deal with Putin. Economic and ene...

Oh, that's a shame. I often write without an order in mind! I don't always know where my thoughts and questions will lead. I understand impassioned re...

@"javi2541997" I'm curious. Why did you delete all your posts?

And Q&A debates about current political parties and their policies. Without focus on personalities. Testing understanding and arguing from a position ...

Yup. So, what do you propose?

Yes. And doesn't that take someone to start the process, whatever name you want to call them. From the article, the plan is: I don't know how much of ...

Follow-up. What can be done to improve democracy? Compulsory voting? Education of the citizens. For participation to be effective, we should know the ...

What can be done to prevent the swing to an extreme right, once the Tories are in power? Or what can be done to improve the chances of progressive par...

How do you envisage this happening? Who are these factions? Democracy itself does not guarantee human rights, fairness or justice. As clearly seen in ...

Vance may well have been against the criminal in the past but now he is excelling himself. It was his speech that provoked the European Crisis. A Trum...

This is interesting but could do with clarification for those not in the know. In what way is Poilievre a 'nuisance' ? What and when did he say "No" a...

This kind of thing has been happening throughout all the other threads related to Trump and Ukraine. I think it best not to encourage this troll.

Along similar lines, from Bernie Sanders: Where are all the voices of the opposition? Does America not have other strong Democrat leaders? Do they onl...

You need to stop right there. This is not the issue of the OP. Nobody is arguing that peace is unacceptable. You are trolling and this is unacceptable...
