"Blood-sucking ticks that trigger a bizarre allergy to meat in the people they bite are exploding in number and spreading across the US, to the extent that they could cover the entire eastern half of the country and infect millions of people, experts have warned."

植民地支配の歴史への向き合い方について、基本的だけど大切なことが述べられている良いインタビューだと思いました。
9日8:19まで無料で読めるようになっていますのでご興味あれば是非。
なお、記事に付けられている佐藤優のカスコメントは読み飛ばし推奨です。
>「英国にせよ日本にせよ、帝国が植民地を統治するにあたって現地でインフラや教育・医療施設を整備した例は確かに見いだせます。しかし、整備したのは植民地からの収奪をより効率的に行うためであって、支配される側の人々の生活を向上させることが主な目的ではありませんでした」
>
>――たとえ目的が帝国の利益のためであったとしても、現地の人々の側にも「少しは」良いことがあったはずだ、と主張する人もいるかもしれません。
>
>「歴史上の出来事には多くの場合、ある種の両義性があります。『悪い出来事』が『良い効果』を持った例が珍しくないのです」

#Israel is committing #Nazi level attrocities in #Gaza.
#Trump is running fast to catch up.
In the UK little is said about this because the BBC is rolling on its back asking for tummy rubs, and so called representatives made it a territorist offence to *protest* about #KierStarmer 's support for #genocide.
The reason is that tax avoiding billionaires say and do what they want, are above the law, and politicians are only in it for themselves or refuse to recognise this reality.
