Reposted by European CitizenRobert Saunders @robertsaunders.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The most fundamental question in politics is: whose support do you need to win and hold power? Is it warlords, aristocrats, empires or "the demos"? If the answer is "billionaires", you are not a democracy but a plutocracy. That's why democracies *must* erect barricades against capture by the rich 4248104

European Citizen @europeancitizen.bsky.social · 28/07/2026The Odessey is a solid 8 / 10 film.

European Citizen @europeancitizen.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I sometimes wonder how silly English sounds to the Dutch.
