288678pm: the malign minds of ISIS have moved ....
Q&@
PARTICULARLY ENERGETICALLY
TO USE THÌS INTERDEPENDENT WORLD TO THEIR ADVANTAGE;
the Internet in their hands has turned into a devastatingly effective propaganda tool for global jihad.
But demagogues of all kinds, from Turkey's Recep Tayyip ERDOGAN to India's Narendra MODI, France's Marine
Le PEN & America's Donald TRUMP, have tapped into the simmering reservoirs of cynism, boredom and discontent.
China, though market-friendly, seems further from democracy than before, and closer to expansionist nationalism.
The experiment with free-market capitalism in Russia spawned a kleptocratic and messianistic regime. It has brought to power
explicitly anti-Semitic regimes in Poland & Hungary. A revolt against globalization and it's beneficiaries has resulted in Britain's departure from the European Union, sentencing the latter to deeper disarray , perhaps even death?
Authoritarian leaders, anti-democratic backlashes and right-wing extremism define the politics of Austria, France & the United States as well as India, Israel, Thailand, the Philippines & Turkey! Hate-mongering against new immigrants, old minorities & various designated 'others' has gone mainstream - even in Germany, whose post-Nazi politics and culture were founded on the precept 'Never Again'?!
People foaming at the mouth with loathing and malice - such as the leading candidates in the US Republican presidential primaries who called Mexican immigrants 'rapists' and compared Syrian refugees to 'rabid dogs' - hàve become a common sight on both old and new media! Amid the lenghthening spiral of ethnic and sub-ethnic massacre and mutinies, there are such bizarre anachronisms and novelties
as Maoist guerillas in India, selfimmolating monks in Tibet, and Buddhist ethnic-cleansers in Sri Lanka & Myanmar.
