Farmers protested so the rich don't have to pay

It isn’t often that the British protest, especially by the standards of our close neighbours, the French. That is even more true when speaking of British farmers who tend to be, on the whole, older, whiter, and conservative-leaning, thus even less inclined to make a noise than the rest of us. But in November, it…

Călin Georgescu, the dark horse who shadowed Romania’s democracy

In contrast to the pro-European protests in Georgia and Maia Sandu’s hard-fought victory in Moldova, Romania gave the pro-EU politicians in power the cold shoulder. They did so by voting in shockingly high numbers (22,94%) for the ultra-nationalist candidate Călin Georgescu in the first round of the presidential election held on 24 November. Unfortunately for…

A year of sealing Fortress Europe

. In December 2024, Human Rights Watch published a report concluding that Poland is breaking the law on its border with Belarus. This, of course, is not surprising - similar conclusions have previously been drawn by Amnesty International and national rights organizations, among others.

The personality of our time and the pandemic of functional psychopathy

. When I was in college, everyone read The Neurotic Personality of Our Time by Karen Horney. You could diagnose lecturers and colleagues, and have a little laugh at the way they fit so much into the picture. But not only that: the idea that social conditions can shape dominant psychological types was getting through.…

Immigrant blues

https://youtu.be/4O5W7SUDPHc Across Europe, the anti-migration sentiment is promising to kick all migrants out. The goal is to deport, or ‘remigrate’ people back to their ‘country of origin’ through payments or force. Several European governments are doing the most to keep migrants out.

European Defence: disunited in adversity

“NATO is at best a zombie entity – one that still looks alive but is far from fully functional”, warns Garry Kasparov, the chess grandmaster-turned-political activist, in Germany's Die Welt newspaper. His prescription for Europe's security is unequivocal: build an autonomous military force, with Germany stepping up to a leadership role despite historical sensitivities. The continent…

The three horsemen of social media: brain rot, anxiety and foreign interference

As outlets and organisations like the European Federation of Journalists, The Guardian, Dagens Nyheter, La Vanguardia and Ouest-France announce their departure from X (formerly Twitter), it seems a good time to reflect on our assumptions about social media and its impact on society as a whole.  There is a widespread assumption, for example, that social…

The lasting effects of Russia’s occupation of Chernobyl

"All our humanist views are relative. Under extreme conditions, a person essentially shows himself to be nothing like the characters they write about in books. The wheels of evil will keep turning even during the apocalypse. People will keep gossiping, kowtowing to their bosses, rescuing their TV sets and astrakhan coats.” - Svetlana Alexievich  …

When sex hurts and your partner insists. Women with endometriosis say

. Where does women's aversion or even hatred of sex come from? When I asked if anyone would like to share their aversion to sex through agonizing efforts to get pregnant, or through endometriosis, adiposity or vulvodynia causing pain during intercourse, quite a few people came forward.
