This really is worth watching till the end. Wonderful take down of Carlson.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

The way immigration is being drummed home (excuse the pun) by the media sickening. I read my local news website daily and the comments were always good for a laugh in the past, now no matter what the story it is comments full of right wing anti immigration hate. My timeline is now full of what I deemed normal people joining the bandwagon on immigration due to Shamima Begum. It is sickening to see people treat people in this way.

Beautiful to see how the mood changes when Carlson realises he's not exempt from the attack.

I'll have to look Bregman and his book up. Sounds interesting. And I loved his line at the end of the article re: Davos which seems to encapsulate a lot of politics and how people, particularly leaders and influencers, choose to see the world and the major issues.

"Bregman has long been making the case for higher taxes, plus a raft of other measures to rethink the way the world works, including a shorter working week and a universal basic income. He was invited to Davos after his book, Utopia for Realists, became a hit with many leaders and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

But after spending a week there, he was amazed at many of the attendees’ lack of self-awareness. “It feels like I’m at a firefighters’ conference and no one’s allowed to speak about water”, he said."
