Steady decline in #Putin's ratings is sending a message, just not the kind #polls in #democracies are designed to capture
As #Kremlin's grip over internet tightens , #pro-war military #bloggers, state-approved “opposition” parties & even #influencers railed against #online #crackdown
State-linked #pollsters report Putin's approval rating has steadily declined, reaching its lowest point during the all-out invasion of Ukraine.

1/ An interesting contrast about two #democracies - #US Vs #India : a constitutional amendment proposed in India seeks to expand the legislature and ensure population-based representation. And the southern states (smaller population but wealthier) to oppose it as unfair. #democracy #elections

In case folks are not aware of the interesting contrast about two #democracies - #US Vs #India : a constitutional amendment proposed in India seeks to expand the legislature and ensure population-based representation. And the southern states (smaller population but wealthier) to oppose it as unfair. In the US, the smaller and poorer states hold disproportionately more power in the #Senate and #ElectoralCollege
Which one is right?

"The #GinoGermaniInstitute of #SocialSciences and #StrategicStudies, an #Italian think tank based in #Rome and focused on countering #disinformation, has presented its 2026 research paper, “#Antisemitism and #Russian Active Measures from the #Tsars to #Putin,” authored by researcher #MassimilianoDePasquale.
The study, which traces developments from the era of the tsars through the #Soviet period to the present day, argues that Russian antisemitism is not merely a relic of the past but an active component of contemporary hybrid warfare. Through the use of trolls, bots and compliant media outlets, #Moscow is said to stoke antisemitism across the Western world – on the right (via #whitesupremacism) and on the left (via radical #antiZionism) – with the sole aim of eroding the social fabric of liberal #democracies."

“Social scientists have identified at least three major forces that collectively bind together successful #democracies: #socialcapital (extensive social networks with high levels of trust), #stronginstitutions, and shared #stories. #Socialmedia has weakened all three.”

Our great #democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our #politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them.
Bertrand Russell, New Hopes for a Changing #World

Thx for pointing this out.
I feel strongly that anyone with any interest in #EU countries should read that article:
The same thing seems to be happening in almost(?) all Western #Democracies.
A century ago, it was the #RedScare that befell the world 🌍 with the #CommunistInternational. It was soon followed by the fascist "#BrownScare," aka "#NationalSocialism, " aka #Fascism.
A #FascistInternational is in the making.

“And also for reminding us that what has become a boring everyday reality for the West, such as #rights and #freedoms, constitutions and #democracies, #prosperity and predictability, which we stopped caring about and began to undermine and question, is something you are ready to fight for,” Tusk noted.

#Thailand’s corruption score slips
"🇹🇭 ranked fifth in #Asean, w #Singapore the highest & #Myanmar the lowest at 169th.. #Transparency #International said global ave score in 2025 dropped one point to 42 & 122 countries scored below 50, signalling #widespread #public #sector #corruption. “Only 5 countries now score above 80 (down fr 12 a decade ago), & recent slippage in high-scoring #democracies shows corruption risks can rise even where #institutions once looked secure"🤦♂️
https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3194353/thailands-corruption-score-slips -
conclusion:
> The affordances of #AI systems are like a cancer in our struggling #democracies. They degrade expertise, which we desperately need. They short-circuit decision-making, which make us responsible for and to each other. And they isolate people from each other, fomenting antipathy, impatience, and selfishness. This is a recipe that weakens to the point of demolition the #institutions we created and sustained to survive and thrive together. The center cannot hold.

The science of how (and when) we decide to speak out—or self-censor
Freedom of speech is a foundational principle of healthy #democracies and hence a primary target for aspiring #authoritarians , who typically try to squash #dissent. There is a point where the threat from authorities is sufficiently severe that a population will self-censor rather than risk punishment.
