Niet Oekraïne, maar Trump capituleert
"President Trump de „pragmatische vredesstichter” (dixit secretaris-generaal Rutte) maakt er geen geheim van dat hij Poetin meer vertrouwt dan Zelensky en zijn handen van Europa wil aftrekken." https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/08/2…

Capitulating law firms presumably were hoping that their deals would prevent the same revocation of security clearances and cancellation of federal contracts that Trump had already leveled at other firms.
But none of that was included in the vague contents of the deals,

#HotTake:
Liberalism is a syncretic religion where the highest deity is the State and all other deities are subject to it. Liberalism asserts this distinction by classifying political systems as deriving from "natural law" and religions as faith systems. Classical liberalism divided the world into "primitive" beliefs and "enlightened" beliefs. Atheistic anarchism aligns with this distinction by opposing the state and capitalism through logic, rather than asserting that the state and capitalism are themselves systems of faith. Atheistic anarchism further reinforces the narrative of the liberal state by aligning with the liberal understanding of religion as a "primitive" institution.
Graeber et al pointed out the connections between property rights as a form of fedishism (magic) and the evolution of currency, debt, taxes, and the state from temples.
