We are seeing in the exploitation of the coronavirus by authoritarians in Asia, Europe and South America not only similar profiles of nationalistic rhetoric and isolationist tendencies, but also something much more nefarious. Each of these individuals—such as Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Jingping, Hungary's Viktor Orban and Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, among others—have something in common that transcends their words and actions.
Here's my case: Baby boomers, who came of age amid strife, tend to look at the geopolitical landscape in black and white. There are, in their view, only winners and losers. On the other hand, Millennials and our chronologically adjacent brethren, Generation X, were taught to speak truth to power, embrace individual thought and to look at the world as a win-win proposition. We want a world in which everyone can flourish and everyone can thrive.
It's these opposing generational perspectives, as well as the fact that boomers continue to represent the largest global voting bloc, that are fueling the rise of authoritarian rule across the globe and giving life to not only the weakening of democracies and democratic norms, but the generational warfare inherent within.
In Russia, for example, the 67-year-old mastermind of disinformation, Putin, is orchestrating a social media campaign in at least five languages targeting European and American audiences in a coordinated effort that dates back to the virus' beginnings in late January. The goal, , is to"sow discord and undermine U.S. institutions and alliances from within, including through covert and coercive malign influence campaigns." With November right around the corner, the timing could not be better.
I distinctly remember poll after poll in the go go 90s where MOST 20 year olds thought they’d be millionaires within five years lol. Everyone thought they’d hit dot com gold. That said, the current imbalance of wealth is not sustainable.
The only thing Coronavirus has unmasked is China atrocities.
Really, ? You couldn't find ANYTHING more worthy of pixels than this whiny tripe?
*YAWN* me...me...me...me...

Just as Covid-19 cases keep rising in 18 states, holiday revelers crammed together without masks▪︎ The number of new coronavirus cases keeps rising in 18 states — including Georgia, Arkansas, California and Alabama. ▪︎ In 22 states, the numbers appear to be holding steady. ▪︎ Only 10 states are seeing declines in the numbers of new cases. I love how no one is ever happy with reports. Lol always something to cry about with some people. Of course its going up you morons, were testing more than we wver have. The only number you should be concerned with js infected vs. death. As the testing goes up, the positives will increase and the mortality rate will drop. The numbers of cases that don't want to hear your BS is on the rise. States are opening back up and hospitalization will not rise. And that scares the living shit out of you guys. Because then there is no way to keep the scare tactic going.
