Fareed Zakaria On How Tribalism And Right-Wing Reactionary Movements Are Shaping Our World

День тому

Peabody Award-winning journalist and CNN host Fareed Zakaria argues that a backlash to rapid cultural change is the root cause of right wing movements around the world, and he urges Israel to heed President Biden’s warning and learn from America’s mistakes in responding to terrorism. His new book, “The Age of Revolutions,” is available now and his show, “Fareed Zakaria GPS” airs Sundays on CNN.

US propaganda puppet, his opinions and interpretations are very biased. He gives the Left a few statements they can all agree on, for example, Biden telling Israel not to make the same mistake the US made. But then completely misrepresenting the European Union. Europe, the EU and the Eurozone are not the same thing and neither is Britain and the UK. FZ knows this, he's a smart guy, so I'm left with the feeling that he misrepresented the facts on purpose.

I heard Mr. Zakaria interviewed about his new book on a couple of radio shows on National Public Radio (NPR). And quite frankly, the interviews were longer and better than here. His explanation about the "tribalism" in American politics is fascinating. He explains how Biden and the Democrats are campaigning on economic issues, and that is not moving the polling because the tRump GOP are highlighting (and setting fire to) so-called "cultural issues." This should have us worried. Gotta get his book.

@mahir8126 26 днів тому

It is not deceptive. Everybody knows about the colonialism of the Dutch and British but that doesn’t take away their engineering/industrial credits. I am from a country which was colonized by UK for hundreds of years. It was brutal in many cases, but at the same time the world we are living in shaped the industrial advancements made by the colonial powers.

The problem with tying economic indicators to the voting population is that the economic indicator formulas began systematically removing living expenses in favor of business expenses in the 1980s. Our individual well-being was basically severed from the national economy in favor of big business. It's why our wages never kept up with inflation. Inflation numbers only accurately reflect the inflation affecting businesses, not home owners, renters, workers or the disabled - you know, the voting population. Notice, the formulas for 'national inflation' no longer include the costs of housing, food, transportation, health care, insurance, CHILD CARE, or any of the other major expenses of working people.

How is it if the economy is not an indicator or evaluation factor for the success of an administration why is Trump desperately trying to take credit for it and selling this lie to his cult. If you ask any Trump cult follower why they’re voting for him one of the most frequent answer they give is that the economy was better under him even though it’s far from the truth or facts. It’s the lies and mind poisoning that Trump pushes at every single rally that has blinded these people thoroughly so much so they believe his lies to be true even though it’s far from the reality. It’s exactly what Hitler did to the Germans fear mongering and lies at every opportunity he got because he understood humans are vulnerable and most humans are basically robots that need to be told and controlled because they lack analytical and critical thinking powers. Trump has never read the Bible but he has learned and read Hitler’s Mein Kamp and he’s applying the same game to gain control at the expense of freedom and democracy.

Mr. Zakaria, Spot on about the Netherlands. After the 30 Year War (Catholic v. Protestant, Treaty of Westphalia, Münster/Osnabrücke), it was the major winner of that ugly War, expelling Spain from its midst and truly became the 1st nation. Issuing stock options, the Netherlands had the first multi-national (1601), the VOC (Dutch East-/West Indies Company), set sail to the entire world (yes, set up colonies, Batavia, now Jakarta, Aruba, Dutch Suriname with certain Dutchmen involved in the slave trade), but also bought, what would become the famous island of Manhattan for trinkets worth then 24 bucks from the local native American Indians! Netherlands brought freedom of religion to America! Yes, much more than windmills, wooden shoes & Gouda cheese! Like Spinoza, many Portuguese Jews under threat by Torquemada (You could not talk him out of...anything, Mel Brooks-ism) found refuge in A'dam...Hup Holland Hup!

He is comparing per capita gdp to make a point, i.e. misleading people to grab attention.

UK actually has higher per capita income than Mississippi from what I could find. But even if Mississippi had a higher per capita income, to consider just one thing, the poor people in the UK don't have to worry about medical bills.

@tn_onyoutube8436 29 днів тому

Very, very misleading, and not even true by any measure at all. U.K. GDP is over $3 trillion, only surpassed by California. GDP per capita is $48,000 in the U.K., $35,000 in Mississippi - and while it is true the U.K. is lower in this than many US states, the cost of living difference is enormous, with the US costs being way higher than the U.K. in almost every measure, so such a GDP difference is more than offset by lower costs in all areas in the UK.

@kenster8270 29 днів тому

Indeed! And I think he nailed it when he pointed to the post-Obama era as being an era of "backlash". Trump was the antithesis of Obama in so many way, including in terms of political culture. The opposite of progressive is regressive. The opposite of liberal is illiberal. The opposite of enlightenment is counter-enlightenment. I myself have spent most of my life living in stable, mature democracies where it is generally seen as a normal thing that the political pendulum will swing back and forth every few election cycles, but never veering too far away from the political center. Trumpism breaks this predictable pattern. Trumpism doesn't wanna follow those boring old rules and conventions. The Trumpist blue print has been copied in Hungary, Brazil, the Philippines, Argentina and several other countries because lots of working-class voters are attracted to the refreshingly cheeky contrast to all those boring, serious politicians. Populism and anti-intellectualism, fuelled by the Kremlin bots stoking the fires and fanning the flames in Western democracies.

Right, but he was talking about the “size” of economies and countries. In that sense, total GDP is the appropriate indicator in my view. Did you know DC is richer than California? See… that doesn’t work, even though DC has a higher GDP per capita than CA or NY.

Because Trump won the election, and they hate him so much they stole the next one. Fascism is alive and well in America. Step back and take a good long look at the steps this country takes to get rid of anyone who wants to change the status quo. Seriously this is not someone trying to get you with a zinger. Honestly step back and look at all the options of news now. The mainstream Media and late night talk shows hate the American People so badly they began to have this crap seep into their shows. I was a Democratic for years and now I am not. I respect everyone's choices, but I have to say the older I have gotten I distrust the government and media more and more. That comes from being sent to foreign lands to push "our" narratives on others.

Compared to other world economies, the USA is in good shape. Yes, prices went up after the pandemic - as they did all over the world. In USA wage growth has been higher than consumer prices. Of course, your situation might be different, but on average, the economy: unemployment, cooling inflation, stock market, etc are all better in USA than every major economy in the world right now.

The GDP of Mississippi is in the billions, while the GDP of Great Britain is in the trillions. How exactly would it be the 'poorest state' if it joined the US? Also the GDP of the US and the GDP of the EU are currently pretty comparable. The US economy does appear to be doing 'ok' (in the sense that we aren't seeing massive collapse) considering what the last few years have brought. But this argument that we're supposedly outperforming every other country and therefore that our economy is great has such strong propaganda vibes.

So, the question becomes... why should Obama, Trump, Biden... or any president get credit from the average voter for "the economy"?
