Elites of a crumbling empire entranced by a cult fixated on a criminal brutalized to death, preaching a gospel obsessed with the salvation of the oppressed, whose fervent adepts desecrate the symbols of civic authority.

The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

Actions to take:

- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

It's progress if minorities move ahead - kind of like transition period after Mandela - that hopy-changey thing came with quotas. Kind of a reverse Henry Ford - "any color but white". Then again ANC under Winny didn't look much better in De Klerk's time.

8 billion people on the planet, you can always find someone saying something stupid.
That doesn't make it a movement.

I still think he's right that Woke is very much like a religion, one that has take over a lot of higher educational institutions in the West. And therefore a lot of educated elites of the millennial generation are believers and the ones who are activists on social media and elsewhere are prosletyzers.
Examples outside of higher education: they caste him out from Apple , Yglesias and Ezra Klein left Vox out of choice, because they couldn't stand following the precepts of the religion no more. Likewise all the signers of The Atlantic "letter" disagree on many other things but agree on not being able to follow the religion.
Any company that is requiring sensitivity or inclusion training is trying to introduce the religion into their system.
It's very like the Massachusetts Bay Colony under Cotton Mather, where no witches need apply.
You can get away with pretending to agree, but some people just don't like living like that and find alternative places where expressed belief in the religion is not required.

Yeah, cuz abortion bans are the same as using alt pronouns and being shrill on race matters. Glad The Economist is on top of it for us - good timing.
