I see Trudeau is the latest western leader to end up with a minority government on his hands , again you have to question the timing of his black clown video release , someone had that carefully archived for the right moment to inflict maximum damage on the Canadian premiere .
I think its time we woke up to the fact that Facebook is being used to sow the seeds of division right inside our communities , we could argue all day about Mr Zucerburgs intentions good ,bad or indifferent , the cold hard reality is were seeing its producing conditions in which civil wars are more likely to happen .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_coalition_governments
That list is out of date , and incomplete , as Ireland belongs on there too , and Canada
and the list is rising by the minute .
In terms of Mr Z's currency idea , like any other currency ,if he can convince people to believe in it it could come into existance ,and there'd be little any single state or government could do about it . If his machine can alter the course of elections , its going to be able to make people believe in his crypto currency too .
Here in Ireland its a coalition between two major political parties , parties who traditionally were alternately in opposition or in government . Now due to the abillity to be able to manipulate via social media in particular , the margins between the two political factions are constantly wavering back and forth around the 50/50 mark , the result is neither of the two parties who share power are inclined to call an election ,and an ad-hoc arrangement continues way way beyond its sell by date ,the public gets a sense its interests are being ignored and society starts to decend into chaos . Lately the real time effects of this are being seen on the streets , with a huge increase in assaults in the city centre , mostly kids 14 15 16 ,beating the hell out of people and robbing them , then theres another older crowd ,street drinkers , The vast majority of older people I know now
strictly avoid city centre after around 9pm , its like a warzone FFS.
There was a tiny village in the west of Ireland lately , population of the townland or parish around 600 people , they were expected to house 150 asylum seekers in a vacant hotel , virtually the whole town protested against the sighting of the migrant centre there , they blockaded the workers trying to get on site , and effectively stopped the entire project ,
most of the saner people who got a chance to express their views to the news team said they were prepared to accept refugees ,in a proportionate number to the population ,but also only if they are integrated and housed within the community .
In a way whats happening is the old institutions of the state are being ramped back up again , people are being expected to try and raise their children in accomodation where someone fresh out of a war zone could just arrive at any time of the night or day
I know a handfull of people in advocacy or worked in refugee centres and the peoples stories are horrendous , the even worse thing is cycles of abuse end up continuing here ,facilitated by a government quite happy to opperate a 'Twin Track' approach , 18 euros a week if your an asylum seeker in Ireland , where someone with an entitlement to social welfare payments would get 200E in cash plus a sizeable chunk of their privately rented property paid . The government say there building houses ,but demand already outstrips supply several fold and homelessness is escalating.
These people have zero self-awareness, but that seems like it may be an asset in politics.
