Comparative Politics is dope

[William Newell @WilliamNpol]

The Arab Spring, which effective, is still viewed as not effective emoji due to relative depravation.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

As many Arab leaders have fallen in the past year as during the Arab spring. Protesters today are hoping for more lasting change https://t.co/SgnZRwVFlM

China aggressively uses their economic power to censor any anti-establishment comments to get major businesses to bow down. They’ve done it with other large companies. Going to be interesting to see how the NBA handles this with their “social justice” reputation #ComparativeHill

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

China cancels broadcasts of NBA preseason games and the league’s commissioner says he won’t apologize for a weekend tweet by a team executive that triggered a firestorm of criticism https://t.co/GF4fbqaDPe

China flexing their monopoly on violence. Sending a message to both their people and the rest of the world.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

By some counts, China displayed one-third of all of the intercontinental ballistic missiles in its inventory, including one that might reach all of America https://t.co/Sryku2RVdE

In regards to public goods, such as clean air, the US Government is picking the positive economic externalities of an economic boost over the negative externalities of general health #ComparativeHill

[Barbra Streisand @BarbraStreisand]

Trump’s EPA clearly doesn’t care about clean air or water regulations. Witness what they’re doing in California.

This is a great example of Trump’s populist approach to leadership. He avoids any direct comments to keep his agendas relative, rather than be clear and concise. #ComparativeHill

Donald Trump briefly appeared at the summit but did not make any announcements https://t.co/D8KtqDalOM
