The quality of #democracy, market economy and #governance has been slowly deteriorating for a decade according to #BTI2020 data. A trend that will be even more difficult to reverse now that a global pandemic has hit the world. https://t.co/o1DqpSqeZs via @BertelsmannSt
Why does the military support or reject anti-regime protests? It comes down to a cost-benefit calculation of what serves best the interests of the military, and how officers align religiously, ethnically, or politically with protesters. https://t.co/uJLfOlrICz
Um die Ausbreitung des #Coronavirus zu verlangsamen, greift der Staat tief in das Leben seiner Bürger ein. Der Demokratieforscher Wolfgang Merkel mahnt im #Interview: Die gegenwärtige Situation dürfe kein Dauerzustand werden. https://t.co/RiHKkUvgbA

Perhaps an even worse implication from my research for the US in #Iran is that "communal [nationalist or religious] elites" like #Soleimani galvanize public emotion and outrage like nobody else. You never want them as icons or martyrs on your opposing side https://t.co/mdLJk2skcu
Fraction of all US wealth owned by Boomers & Gen-Xers when the average member of each was age 35:
Boomers, 1989 21%
GenX, 2008 8%
The average Millennial turns 35 in 2023. Right now they own 3%.
There will surely be political implications.
