RT: When we say "hypocrisy!" you think we're engaged in whatabboutery, point-scoring, grandstanding. When we say "hypocrisy!", we're saying "good god take a look in the mirror and end the suffering, we can't take it anymore"

RT: When people in the South talk about the hypocrisy of the West, I hope it is clear to all that talk of hypocrisy is not mere fluffy discourse but a reflection of the material realities of exploitation that the third world feels--as death, misery, horror--every single day

Given Giorgia Meloni's France - CFA - Burkina Faso child labourer in gold mine - video doing the rounds (did you not know that la Signora is a bleeding heart human rights champion?) .. what CFA IS criticised for 👇 .
Not a tax in the classic macroeconomic sense of the term. But worthy of condemnation for other reasons.

Le franc CFA est-il un impôt colonial ?

Alors qu'Emmanuel Macron et Alassane Ouattara ont annoncé la réforme du franc CFA, une série de tweets dénonce un «impôt colonial» de la France.

#Aadhaar The pitch she makes for remote voting - an idea of Nandan Nilekani - illustrates why criticisms of RN's work remains apt. She shares the same (toxic, IMO) worldview. And her support lends credence.

Nilekani also pitched for remote voting, but said that the same needs to be fraud-free, and added that making it clean will encourage more youth to vote. {Will the rich ever stop with their crazy techno solutionism} https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/india/no-backlash-against-the-wealthy-in-india-despite-inequities-rohini-nilekani-9504721.html

I Toot on climate change, international development, environment, digital ID / surveillance capitalism.
(Expect a lot of rage Toots / rants).

ps: reference to american slang be damned. I love ❤️😍 🐘🐘 Ellies, and "Toot" reminds me of them. Plus those topics are my drugs 😆 and I do inhale news.
