Culturalism
Near-universal obliviousness to the problem makes culturalism the most widespread yet least recognised of all the major types of discrimination in the world today.

Zionism is a classic example of Culturalism, meaning the cultural equivalent of racism. It is a type of Apartheid that prioritises some people over others based on their cultural affiliation. In Israel, it is not only pervasive, it is also enforced by official means, including discriminatory laws.

The good times are coming to an end in Catalonia, which now looks set to follow much of the rest of Europe into far-right populism. After Brexit and Trump, one would have thought that maybe people would learn that these snake-oil merchants only bring pain, corruption, and ineptitude, but nooooo!

Spain may well be heading for an election on 29 November after Junts - rightwing Catalan nationalists - pull support for the government over two critical housing votes. The government passed an amnesty law to enable Junts leader Puigdemont to return, but Junts wants to protect landlords.

Immigrant kids start with a major language disadvantage, but catch up and eventually overtake native background-peers, an LSE study finds. Anti-immigration policies will therefore reduce average education attainment in Britain. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

England’s strong performance of immigrant children in PISA
England's strong performance at the PISA results has been attributed to reforms. But one finding stands out: immigrant children outperformed their native peers.

Nice! About time, too given all the recent major AI lapses! This one is interesting! How do you guarantee the performance of a product that thinks for itself? Is AI a legal nightmare in the making? The Tobacco Company law suits, but in technology and potentially much larger?

It is a correct observation that Trump dreams of being a dictator, but as I explained in this blog post more than a year ago Trump does not have what it takes, which is all becoming abundantly obvious now. www.jandehn.com/post/trump-j...

Trump - just not cut out for it
Trump adores dictators, but he does not have what it takes to be one. Not enough brains, not enough balls. He will go down in history a clown.

CANADA-EU: Canada should aim to replace the UK within the EU family. Canada should immediately pass reforms to attract the City of London to move to Toronto. EU NEEDS an English-speaking financial centre and Canada could be it! And stick it to the old Colonial master in the process!
