"we are heading toward a clash of civilizations. Not Huntington’s clash between cultures, but something more fundamental. A clash between incompatible visions of how humans should organize themselves—whether ordinary people possess the capacity to govern their own lives.

And the die is already cast.

…not policy disagreements [but] incompatible visions of what kind of civilization we should be."

>> The economic damage is real and vast… Debt-soaked countries face even more uncertainty as investor confidence tanks. The global supply chain, already battered, begins to seize.

>> The myth was that… #Trump, #Orban, #Meloni, #Milei, #Modi—pick your avatar—would together redraw the map… But Trump doesn't share. He demands fealty. There is no Trump Doctrine that makes space for others. There is only Trump.

>> #Freedom that is rewriting school textbooks to erase ideas incompatible with Hindutva? As soon as you accept a few million deaths for a better world, you have become a monster.

You have pivoted away from whether accepting a #TwoStateSolution proposed by #UN for #BritishIndia as well as for #BritishMandate in #Palestine was better for all.

#Hindutva is a different monster.
