The Weekly Flail — May 3, 2025

OVERVIEW

To handle more of the officially ignored information in our collapsing nation, our first section will be short takes on war, oppression, and political disasters. While political oppression is not our primary focus, it is no longer possible to neatly separate the polycrisis into the climate, social, cultural, and political disasters.

Technology and science will retain their sections as they include things that may remain positive in a darkening world.

While the Zionist genocide has been fully unleashed in Gaza to eliminate as much of the Palestinian population as possible by starvation, courtesy of America’s insane president, the climate disaster steadily accelerates in other regions. The Hindu versus Islamic war is suddenly resurgent with Pakistan and India on the brink. And Ukraine is no better, despite a deal on rare earths after the US dropped most of its demands. The various wars and genocides will go on.

The Trump economic disaster continues, although there is little to say as Trump impulsively created it. While businesses struggle to decide what to do while searching for supplies transhipped from China to India and Vietnam, the slow death of Trump tariffs will wipe out this year’s holiday season.
