Obviously people are shocked, and particularly shocked at the rejection of normal sensible politics by the rubes who have elected an oaf, a criminal and a rapist to the White House, again. But the trouble is that this kind of thing keeps happening, or nearly happening, and not just in the United States. And it […]
Trump’s win is a return to the default state of centralised, hierarchical societies – like ours. That’s the problem. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 7th November 2024 We were losing slowly. Now we are losing quickly. Democracy, accountability, human rights, social justice – all were rolling backwards as money swarmed our politics. Above […]

Anyone who says that rape and sexual assault allegations don’t have any impact on men’s lives needs to look at the facts. Our nation has condemned a serial sexual abuser who has long been plagued by assault and rape allegations to run the entire country. So the next time you think that sexually assaulting women doesn’t ruin men’s lives, reach out to the rapist in your life and see how he’s doing. Gainfully employed lawyer, doctor, corporate executive, father, president of the United States? Think of what they’re going through.
Obviously, rape allegations do ruin men’s lives, because now one particular rapist has to bear the ultimate burden: listening to JD Vance speak for the next four years.
But more so than that, we need to have empathy for the great responsibility that this sexual assaulter now bears. Imagine how much stress he must be under, not from the guilt or shame of mistreating countless women, but the weight of having to sign legal documents with his full name using an actual pen? Ugh.

Jason Stanley offered this explanation for what’s happening to us and it’s been around for a couple of millenia: For 2,300 years, at least since Plato’s Republic, philosophers have known how demagogues and aspiring tyrants win democratic elections. The process is straightforward, and we have now just watched it play out. In a democracy, anyone is free to run for office, including people who are thoroughly unsuitable to lead or preside over the institutions of government. One telltale sign of unsuitability is a willingness to lie with abandon, specifically by representing oneself as a defender against the people’s perceived enemies, both external and internal. Plato regarded ordinary people as being easily controlled by their emotions, and thus susceptible to such messaging – an argument that forms the true foundation of democratic political philosophy (as I have argued in previous work).
You sit down on a sandy dune and tilt your head back.
