This may sound like an overstatement, yet I believe it is not. If you are an academic and you do not fear the possibility of imprisonment, or worse, within the next decade—unless you significantly restrict your intellectual freedom—then you are not sufficiently concerned.
At least someone in liberal circles is starting to understand that we have to overcome Kindlerberger. In some conferences that I saw or attended recently people were still crying because there is no more stabilizer🙄🙄🙄

🧵 Why are young voters in Europe shifting to the populist right? Is TikTok playing a role?

this is a very good question.
The vote at the European Parliament on ReArm Europe is the final proof of the Italian partitic parochialism and that the public debate in Italy is totally out of touch.
Il voto dei partiti italiani al PE su #ReArm Europe è la prova finale del provincialismo partitico italiano e che il dibattito pubblico in Italia è totalmente fuori dal mondo.
