Beschreibung

Cold War Lessons explores a troubling paradox: the erosion of democratic principles in Europe after the triumph of democracy following the Cold War. Contrary to expectations, the expansion of freedom has been accompanied by increasingly restrictive policies, threatening civil liberties and free speech.

 
The book argues that while overt authoritarianism has receded, subtle forms of control are on the rise, jeopardizing the essence of democratic societies. One key area examined is the normalization of surveillance technologies, raising concerns about privacy and government overreach. Another is the impact of populism on fundamental rights, challenging the stability of established political systems.

 
The book provides a historical backdrop, contrasting the initial promise of democratization with the current socio-political landscape. Each chapter delves into specific themes like surveillance, populism, and free speech, using case studies from different European countries, highlighting both common trends and unique national experiences.

 
The comparative analysis reveals how legal frameworks and societal attitudes vary across Europe, influencing the erosion of freedoms. Cold War Lessons offers policy recommendations and potential solutions, urging readers to critically assess the state of democracy in Europe and to advocate for democratic principles.

    SOME POEMS OF ROGER CASEMENT -...

    Originally published in 1918 by the Talbot Press in Dublin, two years after his execution by the British Government for his involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising, Some Poems of Roger Casement has long been a collector's item. In life and in death, Roger Casement appears to contain many contradictions: decorated British diplomat, Irish Protestant and martyred Irish nationalist. He was a humanitarian, essayist and sometime poet, a public gentleman and a private lover.
    Over the years, Roger Casement's ghost has been the subject of endless controversies, co-opted into both the queer liberation movement in Ireland and the Republican movement. Predator or saviour, traitor or hero, maligned martyr or gay icon? The question depends on who you ask, and what aspects of Casement's life they choose to hold in focus, or to dismiss as a lie. —SEÁN HEWITT
    Includes a specially commissioned introduction by Seán Hewitt as well as the original 1918 introduction, written by Casement's cousin, Gertrude Parry.

    Are you still suffering from the aftereffects of an abusive relationship? 
      
    Although complicated and frequently perplexing, the answer to the above questions may be summed up in two words: emotional blackmail. 
      
    Emotional blackmail is a sneaky, aggressive tactic in which someone close to us threatens to penalize us, directly or indirectly, if we fail to achieve their expectations. It is a potent manipulation that takes advantage of those with whom you have intimate ties. 
      
    We usually imagine the blackmailer to be selfish, deceitful, and cruel; yet, this viewpoint is a poor explanation for this emotional event since the truth is very different. 
      
    Blackmailers are devious charmers and expert manipulators, so you begin to accept the most extreme behaviour as usual, even if it hurts you. 
      
    THIS MANUAL WILL TEACH YOU THE FOLLOWING: 
     How to recognize the subtle indicators of emotional blackmail and avoid falling into the trap in the future.How to recognize toxic personalities and prevent them.The numerous sorts of blackmail and strategies that blackmailers use to drive you insane regularly.How to Break the Blackmail Chains and Protect Yourself from Their AttacksAttachment and co-dependency patterns can help you understand where all this madness started.How to recover and break free from this destructive cycle once and for all. 
    And Much More!...

    A biting, brilliant, often hilarious guide to socialism for budding anti-capitalists who know it’s time to dump their toxic ex (Capitalism) and try something finer. Journalist Malaika Jabali debunks myths, centers forgotten socialists of color who have shaped our world, and shows socialism is not all Marx and Bernie Bros—it can be pretty sexy. We’ve all dated someone who took control of the relationship—you know, someone who makes you feel like you’re unhappy because you’re just not putting in the work, or it’s all in your head. But when you think about trying to meet new people, it feels terrifying. Like, have you looked at Tinder recently? It’s rough out there! Your tough-love new best friend, award-winning journalist, policy attorney, and life-long socialist Malaika Jabali is here to say: we are all in a generations-long toxic relationship with Capitalism, and it is time to get the h*ll out of there and move ALONG. She gives you everything you need to know about what a healthy relationship could actually look like, issue by issue—from healthcare and housing to the whole concept of American democracy—with our new boo: Socialism. And no, Socialism isn’t the boring, grey, authoritarian, Cold-War-era monster that you’ve heard about.  With accessible explanations and illustrations, often surprising graphs and stats, and some Drake memes, this book will show you that we NEED to build a world that’s safer, kinder, cleaner, healthier, and more equal. And that this isn’t a utopian dream – it’s within our grasp, if we collectively decide to call out Capitalism for what it really is and wake up to a better future.   Fun, smart, and inspiring, It’s Not You It’s Capitalism is the hottest new relationship in your life!
