Rant of a Human Being Trying to Survive 2026. Content Warning.
Rant of a Human Being Trying to Survive 2026 This is my first draft that I wrote. I thought it was too potent, raw, and political. However, it is not political. It is about human suffering, dignity, and living each day on Earth.

IS Russia Winning Ukraine War?
For much of the conflict, Europe framed Ukraine’s struggle as a clear case of resistance against Russian aggression. The narrative was straightforward: Ukraine was defending sovereignty, and Europe stood firmly behind it. However, by 2026, the situation has evolved into something far more complex. The war is no longer just about Ukraine—it has become a broader strategic test for Europe itself. At the center of this test lies what analysts are calling the “Trump Conundrum.”

Results Of US Regime Changes
For decades, the United States has justified its foreign interventions under the banner of promoting democracy and stability. The underlying assumption behind many of these actions is simple: remove an authoritarian leader, and a more stable, democratic, and cooperative system will naturally emerge. However, history tells a far more complicated—and often troubling—story.

The Chicanos of Southwest America: The Need for a Militant Aztlán
INTRO In the modern era, the guerilla still resides in the same jungles their predecessors inhabited while attempting to prevent the ascent of neoliberalism. The guerilla walks crouched for miles on end in damp tunnels built beneath olive groves. They live beneath the mile long stretches where you can walk without your feet ever touching the soil because broken brick and shattered glass and sweaters and mattresses and the flesh of the dead pile up like snow. The guerilla lives on but is isolated, fringe, and infantilized. It is not the militant who lives in the shadows. It is those who drop to their knees and press their faces to the ground in a display of fealty to order who are eclipsed by Power.

War on Terror
I still remember the first time the world felt like it was burning around me. I was twelve, sitting in my parents’ living room, watching planes hit towers on TV. Smoke filled the screen, but the fear seeped into our home. My dad sat frozen, my mom gripped her tea so tightly I thought it might shatter. I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t sleep. I kept imagining what it would be like if it happened somewhere near me. Somewhere I could see it, feel it.

The decline of the West and the rise of ‘the Rest’ will lead to a new world order
As Donald Trump rampages through the global economic system with his tariff war and throws the United States’ commitment to NATO into serious doubt, fears – even panic – are mounting about the collapse of world order. Part of the anxiety stems from how suddenly these changes appear to have unfolded. In the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis, what was often described as the US-led liberal international order seemed alive and well, though not without challenges.

Kharg Island Bombed: Trump.
Trump's postings on his social media network, Truth Social, can be flamboyant, over-the-top, dramatic, theatrical, and, dare I say, economical with the truth, making things seem bigger or better than they actually are. Not surprising from a man who thinks all eyes should be on him.
