In tiny Albania, over a hundred thousand people have been in the streets against an environmentally disastrous luxury resort planned by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his Qatari billionaire partners.
This is what global oligarchy looks like — and the people are saying NO.
Five items from the joint European Values Study + World Values Survey (2017–2022) on which Albania records the highest country-level mean among 92 surveyed countries.
@Albanianismvs Lies as in how? As in the poll is fake or that people responded to questions not honestly?
I think that in Albania in regards to polling people take the automatic "appropriate" response.
@AndyMasley In Kosovo a poll of 1000 showed that among the Kosovo Albanians (more than than 90% the population) there was not a single response negative NATO, which can be seen as a proxy for support of the 1999 bombings as well.
In the US support was more muted.

Soc-Dem basically means support for the party of Tom Doshi, a purely personal-clientelistic party. He bought the party's (literally) political dinosaur a whole back just to bypass the hurdles of creating a new party.

@ryanburge Interesting how high this is compared to Europe. My own country, Albania, has the lowest at 22.7%
The USA compares only with Turkey which is debatable how "European" it is.
This growth reflects the Albanian middle class, though I wish our culture moved away from car-centrism.
The government isn’t helping as public transport is bad; late, uncomfortable, inconsistent, and often nonexistent (even in urban areas).
Glad Jeff Nippard, one of the most influential fitness experts, is coming out in favor of lab grown meat. The more we can reduce suffering and protect the environment, the better!
Also, his vids on fitness are very well studied and sourced, so I would recommend quite a bit.
I’m eating lab grown meat the second it’s mass market ready. It’s biologically identical to animal meat and will reduce suffering more than any technology in the history of our planet as long as enough people switch over from factory farmed meats.
We can and we should be!

@GeorgEbner3@albanianstats This is about old division, the cities of Central Albania are quite mixed. But the original dialects of the cities are ghegh.
Also the border localities in Elbasan even if nominally Tosk have been influenced a lot culturally by the city, so they are more blended.
For the first time, the Albanian diaspora could vote by mail. Over 200,000 voted, around 12% of the electorate. Initially backed by the opposition, diaspora voting became controversial after reports emerged of public employees being pressured to register their relatives. (5/9)
