When a woman provides critical feedback, how does a man react? Do they calmly evaluate the ideas or become angered by the threat to their egos? We don’t have cross-nationally comparative data on this spectrum, but it’s an important aspect of ‘The Great Gender Divergence’.

In a new @GNET_research report, @MuniraMustaffa explores how the far-right in Southeast Asia intertwines narratives from around the world with local‑level grievances to attract, recruit, and motivate their followers. You can read the full report here: gnet-research.org/2022/04/19/rad…

Aside from the “suffering circus” where we all are encouraged to clap instead of cry, I fear this is the consequence of living with Covid without massive structural changes. Sickness, lingering, permeating every inch of our existence. Constant, with no rest. This is the cost.

At this point asking for Chomsky’s opinion on international relations after his decades of Bosnian genocide revisionism says much more about the person asking the question than it does Noam Chomsky.
