A centrist with an interest in world affairs. Probably wastes too much time trying to understand things. Believes in democracy, equality and fairness. Always good over evil.

For many young people today, late teens early 20's, the world is such a sad and worrying place.
They went from the fear of Covid, to having to deal with hate thrown in their faces by SM to now worrying that Trump is set on creating civil war in the US and creating war with allies.
How depressing.

It's ironic that Meta complain about Russian moves to stop WhatsApp and move Russians to "state sponsored surveillance".
Meta and other tech oligarchs are already in that particular space of controlling the "narrative" and surveillance of the population.

Any update on the price of eggs crisis?
What about the pets being eaten?
The most powerful man in the world was elected to deal with these issues. Nothing else mattered at the time.

Trade deals and new arrangements being made between lots of countries - except the US.
Trump has managed to isolate the US.
But let's be honest, that happens to inward looking dictatorships.
He's getting what he wanted.

I have generally found that the challenge is the same as the 'normal' version. As a result, it was good viewing
However, this year the final stage has been watered down.
They seem to have been trying to ensure one particular "celebrity" completed it
They took it very easy on her

I agree with Laura, general strike.
They have a significant effect on the leaders of power.
It's not ideal, but it's easy to achieve.
Everyone feels the effect.

The same should happen to Trump and all those currently working in the Regime.

Surprisingly to some, the arts are often the catalyst for resistance and change.
You will find artists, be they writers, poets, singers, actors etc in central roles in many past revolts for those seeking fairness and justice.

Forget about Christianity in America, the real God has always been money.
Its one of the fundamental differences between the US and pretty much every other country on earth - but especially Europe.
The US never quite got off the bottom of Maslows Hirearchy of Needs.
Europe = 1000's of years

The British are quite understandably annoyed with Felon Trumps assertion that none of the other NATO countries served in the front lines in Afghanistan.
Of course he wouldn't know about such things having refused to serve his country many times and doing so by lying.
He also thinks they're suckers

Trumps Board of Peace.
Lead by Chairman Trump (not Mao!)
Trump is a member for life (let's hope that's not long!)
Trump may initialise and adopt resolutions without consulting anyone else (well he has no friends!)
Trump hopes that it becomes an alternative to the UN (good luck with that one!)

Talk about highlighting your fears and weakness.

The relatively low levels of education of 'average' Americans is really coming to the fore.
Any slightly better educated population would be horrified and worried to the point of action over what is going on on a daily basis.
Or perhaps they're complacent and simply don't care.
