💥NEW: @chamath on LA Mayor Election: “I’m for mathematical and statistical literacy. And what happened here is mathematically and statistically IMPOSSIBLE … I can tell you the statistical odds that this would have happened — and it’s one in a trillion!”
No more beating around the bush. The whole theatre is orchestrated by the Oromo dominated Ethiopian government which is sworn to displace Orthodox Christendom and Amharas from what is claimed Oromo fief. Protestant worship to which the PM belongs remains untouched. Had the prime instigators were Muslim extrimists,they would also have gone after Protestants as well.
No doubt Colonialism left terrible footmarks. But it also opened up eyes to modern ways of living and and thinking.
Eritrea, which was part of Ethiopia, fell under Italian rule for few decades. When the Italians were kicked out after WWII, Eritrea had modern cities, industries and even a parliament which did not exist in the motherland.
After the two reunited, the systemic contradictions were so irreconcilable the union failed and Eritrea broke away after a protracted civil war. I can’t say say Eritreans are better off since then because of poor governance.
Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?
Ethiopia is about to hold another sham election. Real opposition parties face obstructions while fake opposition parties are allowed to flourish. https://t.co/F88ZAPXnrb
@MatthewStadlen, the word "Islamophobia" has a more revealing origin than its current defenders acknowledge. It was coined by Iranian fundamentalists in the late 1970s specifically to place Islam beyond criticism by declaring anyone who questions it a racist. It was then popularised in British political discourse through the 1997 Runnymede Trust report launched by Labour Home Secretary Jack Straw. Its purpose then and now is identical. To place criticism of Islam and its political manifestations beyond legitimate public debate by framing such criticism as a form of racism comparable to antisemitism.
The distinction is an important one. Antisemitism is hatred of Jews as a people. It targets an ethnicity. Islamophobia as currently deployed is used to shut down legitimate criticism of an ideology, a set of beliefs, a political and legal framework that in many of its manifestations is incompatible with the liberal democratic values this country was built on. Criticising sharia law is not hatred of Muslims. Documenting the role of political Islam in grooming gang networks is not hatred of Muslims. Naming the ideology that produced the October 7th massacre is not hatred of Muslims.
The Policy Exchange poll published this month found that 25 percent of British Muslims have a favourable view of Hamas. It also found that 45 percent believe Jews control the media and 39 percent believe Jews control Parliament. Those are antisemitic conspiracy theories with no basis in fact. The poll documents not their truth but their prevalence. The fact that such beliefs are held by significant proportions of a specific community is precisely the public policy conversation the word Islamophobia is designed to prevent.
Reform's argument is not that Muslims should face hatred or discrimination. It is that an ideological construct designed to silence legitimate scrutiny of a specific belief system should not carry the same legal and social weight as genuine racial hatred. That is not disgusting. That is a distinction any serious journalist should be capable of making.
The word that is actually being used to mislead the public is the one you are defending.
It’s not that Africa lacks the resources, talent, or resilience to withstand economic shocks. The tragedy is that too many tyrants and their cronies are busy looting national wealth, enriching themselves, and pouring scarce public resources into vanity projects that do little to improve the lives of ordinary citizens.
Popular protest that is being ignited in places like #Kenya on account of fuel price escalation is bound to spread all over Africa including #Ethiopia where poverty has reached unbearable level.
No amount of wish or declaration of intent will attract, let alone coerce, investment capital to flow to Africa before Africa practice the rule of law and provide the requisite conditions for FCI to thrive.
There is also actionable plan in US & eventually in Europe which doesn’t favor developing countries. West seems determined to reduce dependence on imported goods. It is possible now that AI and humanoid robotics can cut cost of production dramatically.
@TeamOssoff Desperate Democratic operative like you are getting even more desperate by the day. The reverse is actually true. Dems flocking to the Republican Party.
THE ANATOMY OF LIBERAL DECAY: Why Leftism Is A Psychological Disease Rooted In Sin, Corruption, And Civilizational Damnation
The modern progressive movement is an existential plague driven by immense psychological rot. Leftists are consumed by an intoxicating blend of pride and arrogance, believing their Ivy League credentials grant them the right to re-engineer human nature. This vanity blinds them to historical reality. Throughout history, from the Jacobin terror of the French Revolution to the starved landscapes of Bolshevik Russia, the intellectual elite has always paved the path to tyranny.
Today, these low-IQ progressive ghouls look down upon God-fearing, hardworking patriots with supreme condescension. They suffer from a profound delusion of moral superiority, yet every single policy they touch collapses into immediate ruin. They possess an absolute deficit of wisdom, replacing empirical truth with trendy academic theories designed to destabilize Western civilization.
Leftism is simply codified envy. The entire Democrat platform relies on mobilizing the base passions of jealousy and resentment against productive citizens. Because liberals lack the merit and discipline to build, they demand the weaponized power of the state to steal. This greed is cloaked in the fake vocabulary of social justice.
Look at the devastating economic data. The Biden-Pelosi regime pumped over 6 trillion dollars of unbacked fiat currency into the global economy, triggering a crushing 20 percent cumulative inflation spike. This economic vandalism systematically transferred wealth from the middle class to elite corporate donors and green energy scammers.
While working-class families struggle to buy groceries, wealthy leftists wallow in luxury, protected by massive tax loopholes. They preach wealth redistribution while ensuring their own fortunes remain untouched. Their financial philosophy is a toxic mix of gluttony for federal funds and total sloth regarding real productivity.
Having abandoned traditional faith, the radical left has erected a horrific new religion based on the idolatry of government. They worship bureaucratic power and radical secular dogmas. This spiritual vacuum breeds intense misery and torment within their own ranks. Psychological studies consistently confirm this reality; peer-reviewed data shows that over 50 percent of young liberal women have been diagnosed with a mental health condition.
They live in a perpetual state of inner sorrow and despair, and they seek to inflict that exact torment onto the rest of America. They project their internal chaos outward by attacking the nuclear family, weaponizing radical gender theories against children, and destroying the biological reality of sex. This is a deliberate rebellion against the natural order, fueled by untamed lust and moral nihilism.
The defining trait of the liberal establishment is blatant, unadulterated hypocrisy. These morally bankrupt charlatans demand completely open borders for working-class communities while retreating behind the high walls of their gated estates. They force regular citizens to endure the catastrophic consequences of their open-border treason, which has allowed millions of unvetted illegals to flood the nation, draining municipal budgets and straining public infrastructure to the breaking point.
Progressive politicians preach climate doom and demand strict carbon mandates for your vehicle, yet they fly on private, carbon-spewing luxury jets to globalist summits in Davos. Their entire worldview is constructed on a foundation of deceit and sophisticated manipulation. They control the corporate media apparatus to gaslight the public, censoring truth and fabricating narratives to protect their corrupt hold on institutional power.
When their fraudulent narratives are challenged, the true nature of the left emerges in an explosion of total wrath and hatred. The radical left is a movement defined by political violence and lawlessness. During the 2020 BLM riots, progressive leaders explicitly cheered on mobs that caused over 2 billion dollars in property damage and terrorized innocent citizens. They weaponize the Department of Justice to persecute political opponents, completely subverting the rule of law to maintain their tyrannical grip on society.
Leftism offers no redemption, only an endless cycle of regret and social ruin. It is a civilizational suicide pact that transforms prosperous nations into crime-ridden, bankrupt wastelands. Progressive cities like San Francisco and Chicago serve as living monuments to this leftist damnation, where multi-million-dollar homeless budgets produce nothing but open-air drug markets, needles on the pavement, and economic collapse.
Patriots must see this enemy clearly. Leftism is not a legitimate political ideology; it is a systematic war against truth, prosperity, and the foundational pillars of the West. True Americans must stand firm, reject this progressive rot entirely, and ruthlessly dismantle their corrupt institutions to save the republic.

@sfliberty I don’t know what kind of twist the 108 economists will come up with to explain the Javier phenomenon. But it is hard to negate the stark truth being witnessed in Argentina. So, they will keep quiet to save face. The 108 number will live in infamy.
