The consensus in most political and social conversations is that countries of the 3rd world will be better off with democracy in both the long and short term. I’ve also held a similar sense forever. It was with great shock while reading through a Thomas Sowell newspaper column that makes the argument that in certain countries the adoption of Democracy has been a positive evil in countries where an ethnic minority dominates the economy.
This argument was made following a book named "World on Fire" by Professor Amy Chua of Yale law school.
The presented facts cut deep into some of the notions I previously held.
I will definitely add this book to my reading list next month as I need to examine the arguments and evaluate myself.
Seeing that most people do not think Andrew Tate should be taken off social media, I'd like to know exactly where y'all draw the line on free speech. Or there should be no line?
Andrew Tate has been removed from multiple social media platforms for "spreading hate"
this situation is one of those in which the line between free speech and speech that incites violence, hate, and maltreatment of certain groups is blurred what do you think?
