Liberalism doesn't value human beings. It values isolated individuals and devalues the social aspect that completes our humanity.

And liberalism's so-called universalism is the belief that Europe sets the standard for humanity.

Dear friend John Pilger (1939-2023) left us behind. A tremendous journalist, brave & honest. We had Wilfred Burchett (1911-1983) in common. Both visionary Australians who hated war & loved people. In the last period, John wrote for Globetrotter. I miss you already, dear John.

It is with great sadness the family of John Pilger announce he died yesterday 30 December 2023 in London aged 84. His journalism and documentaries were celebrated around the world, but to his family he was simply the most amazing and loved Dad, Grandad and partner. Rest In Peace.

This is The New York Times reporting at its best.

Serious, sober, factual, detailed.

Liberal supporters of Israel’s bombing campaign need to reckon with stuff like this, rather than hide behind ‘But Hamas…’: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

When Kenneth Kaunda and his colleagues were organizing for Zambia's liberation, they had very little financial means.

So little, in fact, KK's wife Betty would burn and trade charcoal to supplement the family income and feed their children while her husband was away, fighting.
