I am sick and tired of discussions on the increasing sectarian politics only ever being framed in the context of Muslim or Jewish grievances. No one ever talks about the fact that the native population have had all this imported and now we have to both live with is, suffer it, and pay for it all. Absolutely sick of it all.

When Douglas Murray was writing the Strange Death of Europe, he interviewed a LOT of politicians across Europe. He would always end with "and what if integration doesn't happen, what is the plan then" None had an answer not one. And yet still they come.

Actually, there is very good reason to believe that the American bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade occurred because the Chinese had allowed a Serb relay station to be housed there and it was involved in the shooting down of the US F-117 stealth fighter. Allegedly Jiang Zimin said this was his biggest mistake during his time in office. The Americans agreed to apologise and the whole thing was smoothed over. Let's be honest: the Chinese have cultivated an epic victim complex vis a vis the West. It doesn't matter that the Americans, the British and the Russians defeated the Japanese for them, it doesn't matter that American investment and tech transfer got their country on the road to modernity - it's all our fault. And what's at the root of this is the narrative they tell themselves about the "century of humiliation" when a few Europeans gave the Qing dynasty a bloody nose. The Qing dynasty being a Manchu empire not a Han empire the toppling of which allowed the Han to take full control... Why don't the ordinary Chinese know this? Because they've never been told. Why have they never been told? Because the government wants no discussion about how all that territory was acquired and no acceptance of the fact that the Chinese are an imperial, colonial people like all the others in history. It's all so wearisome and it's all going to end up very very badly

Reasoned discussion between Yascha Mounk and Rob Henderson. We can indeed blame the current chaos on university confusion. Years ago I lost my job at a UK university for refusing to lie to the press. The concept of freedom of speech was curtailed amongst staff long before it was crucified in lecture halls. I was fortunate enough to be able to complete a Master's in Press and Public Relations Management during my suspension. The university had to pick up the tab as part of its settlement. The title of my thesis? The suppression of free speech at British Universities - written in 1995/6.

@dustinhecker3986 29 дней назад

One point to be aware of about United States colleges and universities is how small a percentage of people actually pay the headline tuition rates. At the well-funded private schools at which many of these protests are happening, maybe 40% of the students, maybe 50% actually pay that amount. Their parents of course really pay it. The rest receive financial aid and in some cases effectively pay nothing. At public universities, where the majority of us college students attend college, it is a bit more complicated. But the in-state students are pretty heavily subsidized even without financial aid and when one throws financial aid on top the average cost is considerably lower. For those who actually have to pay something, it is pretty annoying not to be able to get the expensive product you thought you were purchasing.

I have family who worked in higher education, it all go's back to middle management coming in. UNI's moved from education to customer service, keeping students happy was more important than education. There used to be almost no middle management & the budget was spent on teachers, today middle management has ballooned and high paid. They started not paying for good staff and hiring newly graduated students to teach with no industry experience, middle management want staff who stay in line. Staff cant fail students or tell them there work is bad, it's something you get fired for. A move to courses that are low cost & can be hot desking, it's moved from education and excellence to a student lifestyle. It's not educators in charge but management & sales, they spend a lot on reaching out to foreign students & foreign donations to hit sales targets (lots of staff burn out trying to hit targets). Simply staff who where educated and told students there stupid got pushed out, yes men/women teaches got pulled in who dont know better and get told to encourage students. From education to finishing school and holiday school for kids.

@OnlineEnglish-wl5rp 28 дней назад

It all goes back to neoliberal think tanks demanding the expansion of higher education to turn it into yet another business they could extract rents from. Now when students come out with astronomic debt they incite them to hate their elderly relatives rather than the people who created this mess

Welcome to politics, Tories have said since the 1990, we will cap sort out immigration only to completely say and do the opposite. Boris Johnson said 150m extra a week from Brexit only to completely change his stance. 3 weeks to flatten to curve to save the NHS only to completely bankrupt the UK and cause the NHS to fail in it's most basic function of offering health to people who need it, not just providing a waiting list. Trump is no saint but at least he constructed a peace deal in the middle east. Pressured china unlike any other leader, suppressed Iran. With regards to alias we are only in name but certainly don't put our money where are mouth is when we have rested on the US military for 50 years. But that politics Let's move on from Biden and trump in 2028 and hopefully people take their vote seriously rather than never trump but rather policy driven.

@allangriffiths9555 28 дней назад

@@LinkoofHyrule As you know, there is a US Presidential Election in less than six month's time. Apart from a couple of distractions such as RFK Jnr, this is essentially a binary contest between Trump and Biden. Thus I think it's reasonable to assume that if you don't like Trump, which you clearly don't, then your preference would be for Biden. Please tell me if I'm wrong about that and if I am, what outcome would you like to see? As far as I can see, the only thing "predictable" about the Biden regime is its corruption. They appear willing to lie, cheat, abuse the judicial system and break the law every which way, in order to stay in power. All of the legal cases against Trump are falling apart and will likely result in certain Soros funded actors such as Fani Willis, Letitia James, Judge Engoron, Judge Merchan, Jack Smith et al all getting disbarred and possibly jailed. Despite all this, you choose to focus on Trump's unsubstantiated "unpredictability". What am I missing? Whatever happened to honesty, decency and integrity?
