England Remains a Country Schizophrenically Obsessed With Class
It was George Bernard Shaw who said that it is impossible for an Englishman to open his mouth without another Englishman despising him. Certainly, that was the backdrop to the comments which came from the erstwhile governor of the Confederation of British Industry - Digby Jones - a few weeks ago.

The American Class System
Over the months I’ve written a lot about our life and the issues the poor have that the rich just don’t. I wrote about how we might in the future do without money. I also wrote about what I want to expand on and that’s greed. I want to try and explain why the republican party and the rich think the way they do.

Already a Functioning Anarchy, India risks a Slow Descent Into Madness
India faces perhaps the biggest test since its Independence and Partition in terms of convergence of social, political, and economic crises. With its economy in the doldrums, and its healthcare infrastructure found to be pitifully and worse, disastrously incapable of handling the brutal Second Wave, and with its politicians busy holding elections and pulling down governments, there are no dearth of crises that the country faces. Indeed, the term Functioning Anarchy, that was once used by Western media to describe the country, is now back in vogue, looking at the present situation.

The US needs a centrist party
American politics have amounted to a two-party system for so long that most people can hardly imagine anything else. And while the world has been upended in many ways, in the United States Democrats and Republicans still slug it out as ever, with few switching sides. Elections are decided by tiny swings in a few competitive jurisdictions.

I'm an ex-libertarian
I'd consider myself politically aware for the past 20 years or so. I'm nearly 40 now, but then in my teens I didn't really care that much about politics. I was a person, albeit young then, who thought "politics doesn't affect me". Such a tone vexes me now, since we're all affected by laws or state dictates somehow, so I'd most likely be annoyed with my teen self at this point.

Here is why we are only just scratching the surface on LGBTQ+ representation.
