Next Liberalism

Liberal democracy is in crisis because liberalism failed to believe in itself. Only liberalism can find a cure for what ails it.

We need a Liberalism impatient with its flaws and proud of its history and future #NextLiberalism

"Note this. No free society has ever had to build a wall to hold onto its citizens. Not one. The Berlin Wall is not a historical footnote. It is the architectural confession of an anthropological failure".

This is what happens when those who knew better in 2021 chose to stay silent.

Flying used to be glamorous. It was also wildly inaccessible.

We’ve all seen those nostalgic photos of 1960s air travel: bigger seats, better service, roast turkey on a platter. But those photos leave out one pretty important detail: Fares cost roughly what business class costs today, in a country where people had less money.

That’s the trade-off at the heart of the airline debate: cheaper, worse flights mean a lot more people get to fly.

Is that a better system? Take a look at the latest episode of The Argument out now: https://t.co/pDoCQMpfId

Just wow!

The first duty of a liberal state is not to protect the self-image of multiculturalism, but to protect the conditions under which different people can live together.
That means collecting the data, publishing it honestly, enforcing the law impartially, and refusing both progressive denial and populist xenophobia.
The way it's done in #Denmark.

Posting again, please 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚 because it seems the phrase “Genocide” is still being redefined by people who don’t have a clue.

The ICJ did NOT find that there was a Genocide in Gaza, not even a “PLAUSIBLE” one like they keep saying

Don’t believe me? Hear it from the President of the ICJ

Rachel Gilmore, if she has not realized it already, can say good bye to a full-time media job. Not because what she said is not shared by other Canadian journalists, it’s because she said it out loud. Canada likes its antisemitism civilized, i.e., quiet.

@ColinM48126070 @DanielFooksArt Who are "those"?

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

She has facilitated the explosion in antisemitic violence in Toronto, to the point that we are considered to have one of the worst such problems on the planet.

Her gall is bottomless.

Every so often I post this lecture of the late George Steiner. He died 6 years ago.
In memoriam of a great teacher and the culture he so loved and bemoaned its passing.

How humiliating for Russia to have to plead with Trump to ask Ukrainians to give them permission to stage a puny parade.

[Wodek Szemberg @wodekszemberg]

Waiting for May 9 for the full picture of Russian cowardice to reveal itself. Do you agree @AGDugin?

@cindersokeeffe @jamiemcintyre21 Are you on heavy drugs? You are talking nonsense. But then, the Irish are known to be geopolitical nincompoops. It's in your blood.

@84Gavrilov @IuliiaMendel Forget Putin. Mother Russia has been humiliated. And rightly so.

"In a country rife with No Kings protests, this king was a tonic. He presented himself with elegance, intelligence and wit — everything that has been wanting in Washington during the Trump era".

It is so much better for a flag not to cover up vision of a glorious future.

Banksy confirmed on social media that a statue that appeared in central London of a man striding off a plinth, with his face blinded by a billowing flag, is one of their works. https://t.co/oheHkqdrVQ

On the scale where Earth🌍 is a grain of salt, the Sun🌞 is a 20kg bag of salt, and Phoenix A 🪐- the biggest black hole currently known in the universe - would be the weight of the entire Great Wall of China. 🇨🇳
Phoenix A is located at the center of the Phoenix cluster, approximately 5.8 billion light-years from Earth.
