Iโve heard it said that Northern Irelandโs economic decline is the result of the Troubles. But they themselves were the result of a rotten political system. And nothing exemplified this more than the office of prime minister of NI. THREAD.๐
The Tone of Voice in all these outbreaks of teenage vandalism is identical across multiple jurisdictions. Because the far left looks bad as a result, theyโre blaming the far right/ Mossad.
Israel has no interest in destabilising ๐ฎ๐น and ๐ฉ๐ช. But Russia does, as it does ๐ซ๐ท and ๐ช๐ธ.
Nothing against Kane, but how was he the best player in the world last season? He didnโt win the CL or World Cup, and scored just one goal in the last three rounds of the latter, a penalty in the round of 16.
Sad to see Dublin and Bray struggling so badly.

After the mindless looting in France and Italy, the agents provocateurs have moved on to Barcelona and Bilbao. Itโs likely these are acts of hybrid warfare against Europe. But who is the foe hiding in the shadows?

My hope is that the Milei Effect ends up working even better than a Mario Vargas Llosa endorsement for losing elections.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.
Despite breathlessly tweeting about the election campaign for months, Glenn has yet to comment on the results.
Must be taking it hard.
Thoughts and prayers for @ggreenwald ๐๐
Algorithms are an endless assault on our sanity. It feel ls weโre like those chimps in 28 Days Later, being subjected to content thatโll drive us mad with rage.
Needless to say that those railing against Soros in the replies have diddly squat to say about Muskโs funding of the far right.

What a turn up for the books. Bolsonaro won 47% in the first round and all the stocking filler candidates were centre-right to right. It was his to lose.
Fuck me, it looks like Lula could just pull it off.

If Bournemouth score one more and donโt concede in the second half, theyโll have won three consecutive league games 0-3 at Old Trafford.

Biz Post Red C polling for October. Coalition parties sink to a shocking record low.

Powerful piece of political propaganda. The serenity of his voice contrasts with the horrors of the painting โ but even in the darkest hour, he says, there is always hope.
It also contrasts with most contemporary political ads, which exude rage and fear.
I remember going to France on a family holiday as a teenager, and being impressed ant how ahead of the curve it was because of minitel.
But it seems the rot set in with Chirac, and since then itโs been 26/31 years of centre-right governments that kicked the can down the road.
lots of friends abroad have reached out asking about the situation in france, hereโs my 2 cents
>the french are protesting against the gov, asking for more gov intervention to solve problems created by having too much gov intervention
>30+ years of no growth, deindustrialisation, low social mobility, dependence on gov spending, raising cost of living, degrowth mindset = we are the first generation in >200 years who donโt think weโll do as well as our parents
>when the pie stops growing, the only way to win is to take away from others
>the welfare system is on its last leg: gov debt & deficit are such that france is on the verge of having the IMF come in with a austerity plan. the yield of gov bonds is skyrocketing. some want the extremes to come to power to precipitate this
>weโre in the midst of an ideological war 6 months away from presidential elections: will france reign in its public spending or will it expand its welfare state
>in the polls, far left & far right are increasingly leading, centrists are the main losers as many were macron ministers (retailleau, attal & philippe). the longer the protests continue, the worse theyโll do
>the silver lining: this may force them to do a primary/party election and all rally behind one candidate
>the strongest candidate is @davidlisnard: heโs still relatively unknown from the general public but heโs climbing in the polls, is the most liberal economically, has a serious plan to reign in gov spending and never worked with macron
>heโs still a wild card & even if elected may struggle to govern (his political party is 1 year old, the chances of him getting a majority in parlement are low)
>with the level of societal change weโll experience in the next decade with technology, having strong institutions is paramount. french institutions are weak today
>last week was a fiasco: gov & police forces were heavily under prepared, protest organisers & politicians made things worse and rioters took advantage of it
>this is what Paris looks like this morning as we prepare for another weekend of protests
