Are we witnessing the decline of democracies? Janan Ganesh at the #FT puts this into perspective 🌍 🗳️ :

“For all its swagger, its sense of historical momentum, the autocratic world is nowhere near to reversing the losses that it suffered in the second half of the 20th century. Democracy is on a downward trajectory, no doubt, but so is a boxer who loses a round after winning six.”

Important alert via the Guardian 🚨

Fake #socialmedia accounts are spreading false information about the attack on #Israel, „with X and TikTok among the affected platforms, according to disinformation specialists.

One in five social media accounts participating in online conversations about the Hamas attacks and their aftermath are fake, according to Cyabra, an Israeli analysis firm.“

Interesting study via The Guardian 📰

„Having a populist leader hits a country’s GDP per capita and living standards by about 10% over 15 years as the economy turns inward, institutions are undermined and risks are taken with macroeconomic policy. (…) populists are like cigarettes. It’s not the first one that does you in, but getting addicted to them that kills you.“
