Anti-Imperialism/Anti-Globalism (+Pragmatism) (社運日記)

Sean Strickland, a prominent American conservative MAGA fighter, opposes US support for Israel. A few days ago, he miraculously won the UFC championship belt, defeating another pro-Palestinian fighter, the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev, by points. He publicly stated that if Trump continues to favor Israel, he will "wave the Palestinian flag," and even questioned, "Did we elect the wrong person?" #Sean #May_2026

Nederland heeft het Vluchtelingenverdrag ondertekend en moet zich dus houden aan de vastgestelde opnamequota, anders volgen er astronomische boetes. Wat die demonstranten ook doen — of ze nu vuurwerk blijven afsteken, brand stichten of zichzelf in brand steken — de Nederlandse regering zal hoe dan ook vluchtelingen blijven opnemen. #May_2026

https://europeanconservative.com/articles/analysis/von-der-leyen-israel-trade-ties-defense-dual-use-technologies-competitiveness-ideology/ Internal reasons why the EU cannot impose large-scale sanctions on Israel (self-inflicted damage) Heavy dependence on defense and technology: This is the most critical pain point. Between 2020 and 2024, European arms imports from Israel surged by 155%, including Germany's $3.5 billion purchase of the Arrow-3 anti-missile system. Combat-proven technologies: Israel's Iron Beam laser defense system (costing only $2 per interception) and anti-drone technology. Ukraine factor: Europe needs Israeli technology to fill the arms gap left by aid to Ukraine. European elites may reassess military technology issues, particularly given Israel's inability to intercept large numbers of drones and missile attacks. #May_2026

Europe has its own methods for economic self-rescue, but most of the arrogant people in Northwestern Europe refuse to accept them. This includes lifting all restrictions on Russia, Iran, and China, normalizing relations, excluding the dollar from international transactions, and becoming completely independent of the influence of the United States and Israel. (This only benefits the economic lives of ordinary people; it does not benefit the exploitative practices of European capitalists.) European multinational corporations can continue to profit under the current sanctions system by exploiting information asymmetry, entrepot trade, and demand reconstruction, while ordinary people suffer from rising prices. Once relations normalize and competition becomes transparent, this arbitrage opportunity will disappear. #may_2026
