    The post-2011 authoritarian wave hasn’t found a sustainable model. Today’s authoritarians aren’t stable. They’re not delivering. They’re mired in corruption with few redeeming claims. Polarization and misinformation goes only so far. It’s cracking in many places. Buckle up, 2020.

        Hong Kong, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iraq, France, Haiti, Egypt, Malawi, Haiti, Russia, Bolivia, South Korea... Anyone have a list of current ongoing protest movements in the streets? (If you squint, that Ecuador photo could be in many countries).https://twitter.com/AFPphoto/status/1180120385913794560 …

        We have structures of governance that were put in place when these rates of travel—aka rates of participation—were the norm. No wonder it’s cracking everywhere. That’s the challenge of 21st century: matching governance to current scale (global!) and speed.https://twitter.com/krishkhubchand/status/1187650171624185857 …

        ohai. (By the way, my book also has a free Creative Commons version). Also, I don't know how this new 2019- wave will play out. Findings from the past don't just translate into straightforward projections or predictions for future. Story far from over.https://twitter.com/SevaUT/status/1188592905532911616 …

        as this paper argues, mass movements have become more frequent but also less successful recently. I suspect those trends are linked: movements are easier to organize, but this also means they require less "buy-in" from participants https://bit.ly/2BPTogU  pic.twitter.com/rAV3O1nlLZ

        Realistic. 🤷‍♀️ It’s far from over. Rumblings in so many countries.

        They're certainly delivering the sadism that their base wants. That seems to be enough to win at least 44% of the vote.

        No of course it isn't stable. But they will call down Hell upon us all with the power they have already been ceded.

        Get rid of Putin, taper off Russia’s sense of revenge, and a lot of things will start being better, at least in Europe. However, and as long as migrants exacerbate animosities and xenophobic emotions, problems will remain.

        Exactly - certainly in Europe amongst the first things populists do once gaining power, is lower taxes for the wealthiest, and then continue xenophobic rhetoric. The favours to the wealthy are hardly disguised.
