According to the British General Medical Council, doctors who qualify outside of the UK are 3x more likely to be referred to them for malpractice vs UK trained doctors:
They apparently regard it is a disparate outcome to be remedied by DEI policy gmc-uk.org/about/how-we-w…
In Ireland, of the 104 cases of medical misconduct from 2008-2023, 84% were non-Irish
Was speaking with Brazilian friend, talking about the ‘decline’ of Brazil - ‘decline’ as in Brazil’s fall from the cool ‘Girl from Ipanema’, ‘Oscar Niemeyer’, ‘Chico Buarque’ mid C20th Brazil to the Brazil it is today. ‘Decline’ in the sense of increased crime, favelisation, inequality, decreased soft power, freedom of speech etc
Accepting that framing he said a lot of change started with the incompetence of the ‘Retard Right’ military dictatorship but crystallises with the New Republic, especially under the Worker’s Party - really institutionalised Third Worldism so-called. Coming up to 40 years now of various kinds of left policies
I said is there a symbolic moment for that. He thought about it and said maybe the 2014 Brazilian World Cup
You may or may not remember… this was one of the most shocking results ever - Brazil was destroyed 7–1 by Germany in Belo Horizonte, a humiliating defeat and the worst in World Cup history for Brazil. It ended their campaign on home soil and became a symbol of national trauma
I remember watching this game and I am not even particularly big on football, had not been to Brazil in 2014 either. Was in Morocco at the time. Morocco has a big milling culture where people will just sit around on plastic chairs on the streets. Because it was the World Cup large groups of people would gather outside cafes or restaurants or houses where someone had a TV to watch the matches whenever they were on. So you would just be out walking around the cities and there were enough screens set up that you could follow the progress of pretty much every match. If there was an especially exciting goal scored you would hear cheers from down the street
8 July 2014 - the infamous Germany Brazil match. Just on the street and suddenly Germany score. And then they score again. And again. Moroccans were starting to pull off from their usual business and watch the screens. Was that dramatic - sounds like an exaggeration but really was like a movie, people stopped what they were doing to watch. I got really hooked at that point too, remember it vividly
And Germany just kept going and going. Teutonic mechanised precision, repeatedly slamming the ball into the goal. Watching it at the time really it just felt like watching someone get raped, some of the Moroccans you could tell felt like this too - looking at each other and shaking their heads. Was a sense someone needed to intervene, we were watching an entire nation die on screen
My Brazilian friend:
“I think in the 60s Brazil had a good balance. It was kind of a mystical Latino country, in the creative sweet spot inbetween Northern European Protestantism and African… what could you say… between the Apollonian and the Dionysian”
“Haha. And that changed as the government got more Third Worldist so-called?”
“You know we had some nice pardo players before, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Pele was black… this was fine, good actually but then it was like… it became too Africanised. The country became too Africanised - I mean in the sense of disordered. Politically, demographically, culturally… the standards dropped. The best football players in the world today, Messi, Ronaldo they’re Latino”
“You mean it lost that kind of Latino flair? In Spanish they say ‘Duende’, means like Latin flair and passionate intensity” [Don’t know Portuguese equivalent, maybe ‘Alma’]
“Maybe, yes. Was like there was no magic anymore. It gets replaced with… the disorganised mess of favela culture. Sure it has some ‘soul’ in a way but it’s chaotic, can’t coordinate. Brazil at the time, it was really putting its entire transforming national identity behind that team. Ok we’re a new more egalitarian Brazil not the elitist ‘Girl from Ipanema’ white European-coded Brazil we used to be. This is the new Brazil of the Pardo. You can look at the ethnic make-up of Brazilian teams over time, it changes… And then the German machinery sweeps in and obliterates it”
The real struggle for Brazil now is whether it can overcome Lula’s PT-Reich

If even Bhutan is importing temporary workers now (after descending into civil conflict in the C20th over large numbers of Nepali ‘temporary’ workers it imported and later deported) it really shows the triumph of apathy in politics - a powerful ideology of ‘Nobodycaresanymoreism’
Bhutan and Sikkim are two culturally and historically similar Himalayan Mountain Kingdoms that both experienced large influxes of Nepalese labour migrants but which met with very different fates. In Sikkim, Nepalese migration was so great that eventually the Nepalese migrants were able to successfully lobby for the dissolution the country. In Bhutan, the King ordered the Nepalese migrants to be deported after open conflict broke out between the Bhutanese and Nepalese guerillas. Sikkim was absorbed into India. Bhutan still exists as an independent country today. Presumably this historical experience would be enough to dissuade Bhutan from beginning the process of importing labour all over again
Proliferation of slop online ie content of poor or middling taste is a product of the ‘Coca Cola Effect’ - it is the majority’s revealed content preference because it is the content it finds most accessible. Algorithms now dominated by the tastes of third world middle-aged women
If you want to ‘fix the algorithm’ you have to understand that most people like this kind of slop content so-called, you can’t scold them out of it. That is also assuming too you are a manager at X or elsewhere with actual taste able to properly discern slop. Mentioning no names
