Why is it incredible? The only time liberals invests in public works is when they are forced to. That's how this system works and the current conditions are extremely favourable to further neoliberalisation of public funds. Canadians are white supremacist settlers in a particularly energetic nationalist moment. It is not hard to sell privileged people on the idea that Canada is threatened by the empire it is a part of and, because they are neglected a understanding of that system, many do believe that military expansion is how that happens.
This is not why the "far right" have experienced successful platforming in North America, it's because their rhetoric is already consistent with the interests of capital. While there are certainly poor fascists, most white people in this country are not so dependent on social welfare programs that erosion of those services fundamentally alters their politics. They already subscribe to those values, and perceived threats do not magnify them, they focus them. It is easy to tell middle-class white suburbanites that jobs and housing are bad because there are too many brown people because they already hated having brown people here and they correctly identify that they are privileged enough to weather whatever consequences may come from that.

Gaza flooding: Israel’s blockade leaves a trapped population at the mercy of storms

The Palestinian Civil Defence and the Gaza Government Media Office have issued an urgent warning to Palestinians in the Strip, on 10 December. The polar storm “Byron” will hit within 72 hours. Gaza flooding is imminent.More than 90 percent of Gaza’s residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed by the Israeli occupation. This storm threatens more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians, living in worn out tents across the Strip. Officials say that it is expected to bring flash flooding to Gaza — along with strong gusts of wind capable of uprooting tents, rising sea waves, and thunderstorms.

Per una critica anarchica dell’anarchismo
Pensiero anarchico e libertario
Tomás Ibáñez
Saggi
Elèuthera
Settembre 2025
Brossura
152 pp
L’anarchismo non fondazionale qui delineato non intende affatto proporre un nuovo modello di società, bensì spingere singoli e collettivi a costituirsi come «ingovernabili» e a mantenere accesa la resistenza, qui e ora, all’interno di qualsiasi modello di società autoritaria. Un nuovo paradigma che rimanda a un’etica della rivolta piuttosto che a un’epica della rivoluzione (dal sito)
Tomás Ibáñez
Ibàñez è uno psicologo e attivista cresciuto in una cultura libertaria antifranchista. Ma questa espressione, cultura libertaria, non è una semplice nota curriculare. Nella sua attività, e questo libro lo conferma, ha sviluppato quella necessità di approccio iconoclasta che permette all’anarchia di rimanere ancorata all’unica certezza che la mantiene sempre attuale e sempre orizzontale; il dubbio.
La casa editrice
Elèuthera continua ad essere quell’isola culturale – nel pur difficile e reazionario panorama editoriale italiano – dove chiunque abbia una esagerata idea di libertà può trovare ristoro, comunità e soprattutto materiale per nuove domande e spunti. Questo libro, caldamente consigliato, ve ne offrirà di molteplici. Sfogliando il blog puoi leggere diverse recensioni dalla stessa casa editrice. Io stesso ho già avuto il piacere di leggere Latour e Graeber.
Anarchismo non fondazionale
Nel rifiutare le etichette fisse e confinanti ho spesso usato l’espressione “ricercatore di anarchia” per descrivere il mio pensiero. Nel tentativo di far comprendere che ricercare l’anarchia significa seguire un flusso che si nutre del percorso stesso e che pretende la libertà di cercare nuove strade, di imboccare vicoli ciechi che magari sono tali solo perchè non si è guardato bene. Per questo mi sento molto vicino all’approccio non fondazionale inteso da Ibàñez. Un pensiero illuminante che allo stesso tempo rifugge e risolve le questioni poste dai non anarchici nel tentativo di spiegare l’anarchia con uno schema di pensiero non anarchico. L’anarchia non è un pensiero granitico e impeccabile. Non è un qualcosa “da uomini che non devono chiedere mai“. L’anarchia trae le sue spinte dalle imperfezioni e il suo dinamismo dalla libertà di non doversi nascondere.
Il libro
Muovendo da queste premesse il libro si snoda attraverso questioni affascinanti e tutte meritevoli di approfondimento. L’autore riprende Foucault e supera il concetto di potere espresso da Bookchin ribadendo come l’anarchismo non fondazionale sia più in grado di rispondere alle esigenze di questi tempi. Ibàñez riflette anche sulla deriva di onnipotenza della tecnica ed esprime preoccupazioni e analisi sulla cultura della “prevenzione”e su come il potere la utilizzi per ridurre gli spazi di libertà e i diritti delle persone.
Conclusioni
Quello che Ibàñez introduce è quasi una termodinamica, di Lavoiseriana memoria, ma incentrata sulla rivolta. La rivolta non costruisce qualcosa di statico ma si mantiene ingovernabile e quindi progredisce superando se stessa anzichè preferire la comoda autocelebrazione.

Sectigo’s Wrongful Revocation of RustDesk’s EV Certificate: A Concerning Precedent for the Software Security Ecosystem
Overview
On December 8th 2025, Sectigo abruptly revoked RustDesk’s Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate without presenting any evidence of malicious behavior or security compromise. This unilateral action immediately disrupted RustDesk users worldwide, triggering false SmartScreen warnings, breaking enterprise deployments, and damaging trust in the software supply chain.
As an open-source remote desktop project used by millions globally, RustDesk takes security and transparency as core principles.
Sectigo’s unjustified revocation — later admitted to be a false positive — represents not only a direct harm to our project but also a serious threat to the integrity of the global digital certificate trust model.
Why Sectigo’s Action Is Unacceptable
According to the CA/Browser Forum EV Code Signing Guidelines, a CA may revoke an EV certificate only when supported by verifiable, auditable evidence such
- confirmed malicious activity,
- verified key compromise,
- fraudulent organization information, or
- legal mandate.
None of these conditions applied to RustDesk.
Sectigo’s decision to revoke a critical EV certificate based on an internal false positive — without evidence, without warning, and without transparency — is a breach of industry standards and a dangerous precedent.
If a CA can arbitrarily revoke certificates, the entire trust system that underpins software distribution becomes fragile.

The way the author closed the issue is a bit sketchy but what's weirder is that the OOP doesn't state any of the arguments of his so called deleted forum posts, and instead just makes ungrounded accusations pointing to "supposed security risks others are talking about".
Rustdesk is open source and self-hosteable. If there's any actual major security flaws besides yelling "Chaina" (and I'd argue that you can do the same for US or Europe) it should be easy to show. It's also end to end encrypted according to the repo,
