Societies have always been dominated by their elites via a strategy of divide & rule, & although they pretend to be, Western "democracies" are no different. It is just more subtle than in earlier times & in non-democratic countries.
Allow me to explain HOW we're divided & ruled:

I think it was #WinstonChurchill who famously said that British democracy was deeply flawed, but better than any other system yet devised, or words to that effect.
I agree with him, but while he saw it as a reason for maintaining the status quo, I do not.

Churchill wanted to maintain the status quo because it served him personally extremely well, as it does many others.
However, the status quo is inherently unjust, inhuman & - most importantly - unsustainable on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, SpaceshipEarth.

#WinstonChurchill jest moim ulubionym politykiem wciąż.
#CherlesDeGaulle zaś miewał dziwne pomysły:
Szef V Republiki jedząc żaby swoim wąsem trząsł [1];
Polubił zbyt Eurazję, i Francuzi z NATO sobie wtedy wyszli [2].

Cóż, miauknęł tu po raz wtóry, mając wszak to samo na myśli:
Napoleon Bonaparte bał się Kota [4], gdy zasłona od kociej łapki zadrgała;
Zbyt niski [6], nie zdążył wspiąć się na stołek przekonany, że to po niego już przyszli.

Letter of #ReginaldBrett to #DouglasHaig: "The power of Winston for good and evil is very considerable.

He handles great subjects in rhythmical language, and becomes quickly enslaved by his own phrases[!!]
He deceives himself into the belief that he takes broad views>

What was Mohandas #Gandhi doing carrying wounded #British soldiers off the battlefield in #SouthAfrica in 1899? Gandhi was merely leading by example, in the ambulance corps he set up to support the British against the Boers in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). 1/12

But why would Gandhi support the British, especially since he had experienced the humiliation of racial discrimination in South Africa soon after he got there? It was #OnThisDay in 1893 that Gandhi was thrown off a train for refusing to comply with racial segregation laws. 2/12
This was more than a decade before Gandhi evolved his concept of #civildisobedience. He spent 21 years (1893 - 1914) in South Africa and went on to organize the #CivilRights movement, to raise the status of the indentured #Indian population there. 3/12

Si se quiere tener una perspectiva correcta y entender los porque del #NuevoOrdenMundial instaurado a partir del 2020 es obligado tener en cuenta la doctrina #Eugenesica desde #Malthus en adelante.

Tras la muerte de #CharlesDarwin en 1883, su primo Sir Francis #Galton denominó #EUGENESIA (del griego “buen origen” o “buen linaje”) a la disciplina encargada de la mejora biológica de la especie humana.
De esta manera irrumpe con fuerza el #eugenismo, movimiento político e ideológico que predica una mejora cualitativa y biológica de la población, frente a una posible mejora moral o cultural.
I’m very pleased to share a new paper I've coauthored with @JoshBleiberg examining the effect of state takeover of school districts on student test-based academic achievement and educational inputs, recently accepted at JPAM: edworkingpapers.com/ai21-411 1/n
Not only do the results have implications for policy aimed at improving low-performing school systems but also represent a rare test of the effectiveness of alternative education governance arrangements beyond the typical locally elected school board model. 2/n
We track all takeovers from the first in the late 1980s through 2016, building on previous tracking work by @aejochim @DomingoMorel, Ken Wong, and others, and find takeovers have become more common and shorter over time. 3/n
Who's running the World?
@realDonaldTrump, @Plaid_Putin and @xijinpin were arguing on who’s in charge of the world.
#US, #Russia or #China?
Without any conclusion, they turned to @PMOIndia and asked him "Who’s in charge of the world?"
Modi replied All I know is
