🚨🚨 We’re hiring! 🚨🚨 We have 3 lines open in CP, IR and IPE — all tenure-track. We offer competitive salaries, a 2:1 teaching load, in a friendly (and fully in English) environment, at one of Europe’s most sought-after cities.

Humiliating for NYC to have our mayor indicted like we’re fucking Providence or something.

Would you consider living in Cape Town?

VERBATIM FROM THE ARTICLE: “The result is a paradox of punitive populism, in which democratically elected leaders with broad anticrime mandates undermine liberal democracy by adopting iron-fist policies that are not only popular but can also be effective. Iron-fist policies are widely appealing to publics accustomed to living in fear for their safety; such is the case for generations of Latin Americans, many of whom have not known a reality other than widespread extortions, kidnappings, and murders.” A PARADOX???!!! Seems that since we cut off all their attack angles, they're resorting to “paradoxes”, untested examples from any nation's history, and a novel interpretation of “democracy” that ignores the will of the people and their wellbeing, yet makes a priority to protect the criminals and preserve corrupt bureaucracies and institutions by making it a taboo to change or reform them.
