In this conversation Jeff Weniger, Head of Equity Strategy and Samuel Rines, Macro Strategists, Model Portfolios at WisdomTree Asset Management, join us to discuss various topics including the performance of the equity and bond markets, inflation, the labor market, and the real estate market. We explore the potential impact of rising yields on equities, the relationship between bonds and stocks, and the role of the US dollar as a hedge. We get into the challenges of navigating the current economic landscape and the reluctance of individuals and businesses to make changes in their financial strategies. Jeff and Sam unpack the impact of job mobility and housing on asset allocation. Jeff Weniger discusses the challenges of job relocation and the limitations it imposes on housing choices. He also highlights the rigidity of mortgage rates and the potential financial burden it creates for homeowners. Sam Rines adds that the lack of labor market dynamism and the preference for home remodeling contribute to the stagnation of the housing market. Then we shift to the changing dynamics of the US economy, with a focus on the transition from goods to services. Sam Rines emphasizes the normalization of the services sector and the potential lasting effect on the labor market. Our focus turns to a discussion about asset allocation and the push for domestic equity ownership in various countries. We explore the seismic shift in investment trends, with a focus on the changing dynamics of global markets. We dive into the history of investing in the early 2000s in emerging markets like Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC), and how the focus has now shifted to investing in Japan, Korea and other markets where policy driving home bias is flourishing. We look at the role of China in the commodities market, particularly its insatiable appetite for base metals and gold. If anything, our entire conversation highlights the importance of diversifying portfolios and considering alternative asset classes like managed futures and commodities. They also touch on the impact of US-China relations and the potential risks and opportunities in the market.TakeawaysThe equity market has performed well despite the backup in yields, indicating resilience in the face of potential headwinds.Bonds may provide a diversifying effect in a 60-40 portfolio, and there is an indication that bonds and equities may move in opposite directions this year.There is a misconception about inflation, with people often misunderstanding the difference between the rate of inflation growth and inflation levels.The labor market has been confounding, with indicators sometimes differing from what is happening on the ground.There is friction and inertia when it comes to individuals and businesses making changes to their financial strategies, such as moving cash to higher-yielding investments.The real estate market is slow-moving, and the effects of macro factors, such as the actions of the Fed, take time to materialize.The current economic landscape presents challenges, but there is a sense of managed control and a slower pace of change compared to previous cycles. Job mobility and housing choices can significantly impact asset allocation decisions.Rigid mortgage rates can create financial burdens for homeowners, limiting their job mobility.The lack of labor market dynamism and the preference for home remodeling contribute to the stagnation of the housing market.The transition from goods to services in the US economy is normalizing, potentially impacting the labor market.There is concern about a push for domestic equity ownership in various countries, which may affect asset allocation strategies, and US equity performance.Japan and Korea, and other countries (Canada) are at the centre of this push that is further bullish for them, and less so for the US where country allocations are concerned.China's insatiable appetite for commodities, particularly base metals and gold, has significant implications for the market.Diversification and considering alternative asset classes like managed futures and commodities are crucial for portfolio management.US-China relations continue to be a significant factor impacting the market, with potential risks and opportunities.Chapters00:00 Discussion about CTAs, market thresholds, portfolio diversification, and bond-equity relationship.09:10 Labor market indicators are confounding due to COVID's impact on surveys - may not align with actual conditions. Sub-questions reveal differing responses.15:38 Recent market issues addressed with intervention, BTFD easing bank assets.17:10 Surprise at bank walk concept, advises money markets over savings accounts.23:37 Macro moves slowly, taking 18 months to 2 years for major shifts.

https://www.youtube.com/nutrientsurvival China sees Taiwan as a part of its territory and regards any move towards independence by Taiwan as a red line that it will not tolerate. China has repeatedly stated that it reserves the right to use force to bring Taiwan under its control if necessary. There are several reasons why China may consider taking Taiwan by force, including: Nationalistic sentiment: The unification of Taiwan with China is a deeply ingrained nationalistic aspiration for many Chinese people, and the Communist Party has staked its legitimacy in part on fulfilling this goal. Strategic considerations: Taiwan's strategic location in the Taiwan Strait makes it a valuable asset for China in terms of military positioning and projecting power in the region. Control of Taiwan would also give China a significant advantage in its competition with the United States and other regional powers. Economic benefits: Taiwan is a highly developed economy with advanced technology and is home to many of the world's leading semiconductor companies. China would benefit from integrating Taiwan's economy into its own and gaining access to these industries. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is a Taiwanese multinational semiconductor manufacturing company that designs and produces integrated circuits (ICs) and other semiconductor devices. TSMC is the world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry, and is a major supplier for many leading global semiconductor companies. The United States has a longstanding interest in maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, and sees the Taiwan Strait as a critical flashpoint that could disrupt regional security. The U.S. also values Taiwan as a key democratic ally in the region and has maintained close economic, political, and security ties with Taiwan for decades. The U.S. commitment to Taiwan is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) of 1979, which requires the U.S. to provide Taiwan with defensive weapons and to maintain the capacity to resist any use of force or coercion that would jeopardize Taiwan's security or social and economic system. The U.S. also supports Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations and promotes Taiwan's role in global health, trade, and environmental issues. The U.S. policy towards Taiwan is also shaped by its broader strategic interests in the region, particularly its efforts to counter China's growing influence and assertiveness. The U.S. sees Taiwan as a critical partner in this effort and a potential strategic counterbalance to China's rising power. Overall, the U.S. commitment to Taiwan is based on a combination of strategic, economic, and values-based considerations, and reflects its broader interests in promoting peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region. And let us not forget Semiconductors! Why is this important? Semiconductors are important because they have unique electrical properties that make them suitable for use in a wide range of electronic devices, such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. These devices are the building blocks of modern electronics and are used in everything from computers and smartphones to automobiles and medical equipment. Semiconductors also play a critical role in the development of renewable energy technologies, such as solar cells and LED lighting. Overall, semiconductors are essential for the functioning of many of the technologies that we rely on in our daily lives. The US government and industry are currently taking steps to produce more semiconductors domestically in order to address a global shortage of these critical components. This shortage has been caused by a combination of factors, including increased demand for electronics during the pandemic and supply chain disruptions.

Jesus was often critical of the Pharisees, but perhaps never is he as critical as he is about their focus on Jerusalem. The nationalistic focus around Jerusalem becomes a major critique of Jesus. The apostle Paul picked up on this critique when calling us to claim our citizenship in heaven. Why, Church, are so in bed with American nationalism?

India Policy Watch: Chinese CheckersInsights on burning policy issues in India- RSJWe often write about China here. And we make three points:China is a model of authoritarian state-driven capitalism. There should be no illusion anymore it will turn into a liberal democracy as its citizens gain greater economic freedom. The Party will find new market demons to slay to send out a convincing message to the people that only it can usher in a stable and prosperous society. It will continue to undermine liberal democracy and it is ready to mount an ideological and economic challenge to G7. (Edition #132) Most analysts often overestimate China’s long-term thinking or strategic acumen. Pranay has written about this in a few editions. People tend to get taken in by civilisational mumbo-jumbo and Confucianism that China spouts about their national objectives. This has given rise to a cottage industry of experts who scour through Chinese history to (over)interpret the words and actions of its current regime. We believe this is unnecessary. China makes its usual quota of strategic errors in geopolitics. There is too much made about it being a rational actor of the highest order. (Edition #136)China is a very different kind of threat to the western liberal order. It is deeply enmeshed in global trade and economy. Decoupling from it is easier said than done. It has grown at the expense of Europe in the past three decades and now Europe cannot imagine its economy without the Chinese supply base or its markets. It is open to learning from the West (it sends the most students to western universities) while it selectively blocks global information platforms at home to ‘manage’ its society. This asymmetry lets it have the best of both worlds. It has the Soviet-style disdain for liberal democracy without the shortage of resources or paranoia about the West. In short, as I have written in the past, if this were to be seen as a new cold war then China is USSR on steroids. (Edition #47) and (Edition #44)Chinese Books Are Flooding The MarketI’m no expert on China. So I like to read books on China to update my priors. Surprisingly (in a good way), the last nine months have seen a never before supply of books on China by Indian authors. These include books by China scholars and academics - India Versus China: Why They Are Not Friends by Kanti Bajpai, Smokeless War: China's Quest for Geopolitical Dominance by Manoj Kewalramani and India's China Challenge: A Journey through China's Rise and What It Means for India by Ananth Krishnan. These apart, the past few months have seen two of our former Foreign Secretaries come out with their books on China or the broader Asian geopolitics - India and Asian Geopolitics: The Past, Present by Shivshankar Menon and The Long Game: How the Chinese Negotiate with India by Vijay Gokhale. I ended up reading three of these books in the past couple of months. They are slim and very readable. Among them, I will pick Vijay Gokhale’s book in this edition to discuss his perspectives on how China negotiates. Gokhale’s focus is on understanding the strategy and tools China deploys in its negotiations with India and what India can learn from the 70 years of dealing with them. He takes six key negotiations between India and China to draw his conclusions. These include recognition of the PRC in 1950, the negotiations on the status of Tibet in 1954, Pokhran and India’s nuclear status, the question of Sikkim, the US-India 123 nuclear agreement in 2007 and the listing of Masood Azhar as a terrorist by the UN in 2019 after a decade-long effort. Gokhale’s credentials on the topic are second to none. He has served as our top diplomat for over three decades in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. His personal involvement in four of these negotiations offers a ringside view to us on diplomatic jabs that were exchanged over the years on these issues. Even in the two negotiations that predate him (recognition of PRC and Tibet), Gokhale is meticulous in his research of available official documents, notes, letters and press reports of the time to offer us a concurrent view of how the two sides were thinking about the issues and planning their negotiations. The book is a tremendous addition to the literature on China and I hope it spurs more former diplomats to write about their experiences. The Original SinI have picked up a few excerpts from the first diplomatic negotiation between the two over the recognition of PRC to give you a sense of how differently the two newly independent nations thought about geopolitical issues. I will run through the context briefly before doing so. India, in 1949, was a free country in the process of establishing itself as a Republic. The horrors of partition were fresh and its leadership was still finding its feet after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Yet, it was seen globally as the voice of the ‘third world’ largely on account of the Constitution it had drafted, its leadership that had international credibility and its commitment to liberal democratic principles. China, on the other hand, had emerged from its ‘century of humiliation’ with a civil war between Mao’s Communists and the Nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek. By 1949 the Communists had driven the Nationalists away to Taiwan and were looking for global recognition while being aware that America being on the side of the Nationalists made this a difficult task. To put it simply, Communist China would have been grateful if India recognised it early. But through a strange mix of naivety, diplomatic blunders, confused thinking and narcissism on India’s part and some astute planning by China, the tables were turned. In some ways, this set the tone for all future negotiations between them. As Gokhale writes:The Chinese also planned the negotiations with India with great care, seeing it as a template for future negotiations with other non-socialist countries, including the West. Their strategy consisted of three elements: 1) to make India recognise the People's Republic of China as the sole, legitimate government. Mao was determined not to allow Two Chinas to legally exist at the same time, and this was a core objective; 2) to ensure that India did not join the American-led anti-China camp. Since the Americans were backing Chiang Kai-shek, it stood to reason that India should be asked to prove that it was not an American camp-follower by making a clean break with Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist regime; and 3) to utilise India's international influence to gain diplomatic space. The Soviet Ambassador N.V. Roshchin recorded his conversation with Mao thus: 'During the past few days he (Mao Zedong) had received the report from Beijing that the governments of Burma and India expressed their readiness to recognise the government of the People's Republic of China. The position of the Chinese government on this matter is as follows: to informs the governments of Burma and India that if they are sincere in their wishes to mend diplomatic relations with the PRC, first, they must completely break all tie with Chiang Kai-shek, unconditionally any kind of support and assistance to this regime, making it into an official declaration. Under the condition that the governments of these countries accept the aforementioned proposals of the Chinese government, the Indian and Burmese government may send their representatives to Beijing for negotiations.’This, then, was the Chinese strategy, and the tactics were determined accordingly.It is interesting to note how despite having the weaker hand, it appears from above like the Communist China is offering a privilege to others. There are multiple things at play here. China’s clarity on what’s non-negotiable (there cannot be two Chinas), its ability to play on the guilt or ego of the other party for its interests (India has to show it is not a camp follower of America) and its chutzpah in setting the terms of its own recognition; including asking India to send its representatives to Beijing and not the other way around. Now contrast this with how Gokhale describes the Indian approach.The lapses on India's part - the absence of wider political consultations within the Indian leadership, the overlooking of its national interest in its anxiety over the timing, and the erroneous assumption that the act of officially recognising the People's Republic of China was tantamount to the automatic establishment of formal diplomatic relations - led the Government of India to see the act of recognition as its only objective. In the process, India unilaterally gave up some crucial negotiating cards.First, India severed ties with the Nationalistic government in Taiwan.….the cutting off of ties with Nationalist government in Taiwan was inevitable, but it should have been part of the give-and-take during the negotiations. Instead, India squandered a bargaining point as a concession to Communist China even before the negotiations commenced. Likewise, India made efforts to reassure the Chinese side that it would not harm them by aligning with the Americans. This mean that India gave up any leverage that was to be gained by allowing the Chinese side to believe that it had the option of leaning to the side of the Americans in case China did not accommodate its interests in the process of diplomatic recognition. Thus, India lost another tactical advantage that might have allowed it to extract assurances from the Chinese communists.Thirdly, and most significantly , India did not lay out substantial 'asks' for the Chinese side to fulfil as a counter-response to their demands, even though they were aware of Chinese preconditions. The Government of India felt that making recognition dependent upon fulfillment of conditions by the new Chinese regime may be seen as hard or humiliating.…..India's approach to the whole idea of recognition was a mixture of emotionalism and conjecture. There was no strategy. The timing became the central point of the exercise. This too was determined by international calendar rather than by India's national interests. The Commonwealth Foreign Ministers Conference was to be held in Colombo in mid-January 1950. Nehru decided that India should recognise the People's Republic of China before the other members of the Commonwealth. It was accordingly decided to do so on 30 December 1949. Getting It Wrong Again?I believe Nehru gets a bad rap in today’s India. He had his flaws. But he was a great man by every definition of the term. I don’t think we will see someone like him in our polity anytime again. And I defend him stoutly on most issues including his economic thinking. I’m no statist and I have no time for central planning but I’m not sure I’d have been a free marketer at the time of independence. So, I give him a wide berth there too. But on foreign policy, I think Nehru has no excuses. He had strange notions of India being some kind of a vishwaguru, he personalised diplomatic decisions without considering the diverse set of views from his experts, he put himself at the centre of negotiations which undercut the negotiating options of his diplomats and he had a vague, narcissistic self-image of a global statesman that eclipsed India’s interests often. The above extract on the recognition of PRC and India’s handling of the Tibet issue soon after was a result of this approach to diplomacy. When I read these lines again, I wonder how much, if, at all, things have changed since then. Gokhale ends his book with a chapter on ‘Lessons for India’ where he outlines his experience of how China negotiates and what the Indian side should look out for. There are reams of practical advice here. The Chinese attention to details at the pre-negotiation stage: everything from the setting of the agenda, laying the benchmarks for the other side to meet prior to the negotiations and to push for unilateral gestures as a show of goodwill. Then the tricks and tactics used during the negotiations. The insistence on agreeing on principles that will act as the framework, the incremental nibbling technique (the salami-slicing equivalent of diplomacy), the playing on the guilt of another party, the random usage of old Chinese proverbs, the sense of their relative position in the hierarchy of global powers and their ability to manipulate the other side are all discussed at length with specific instances. And finally the post-negotiation setting of the narrative. The Chinese focus on getting everything just right is relentless. Reading this chapter and going by the book title ‘The Long Game’, you almost place Gokhale in the camp of those who believe in the extraordinary powers of China to think really long term. Like we have written before, we think this to be a gross exaggeration. But Gokhale makes a strong case for us to update our priors. China might not always be playing a long game. But it surely does have a game. If the content in this newsletter interests you, consider taking up the Takshashila GCPP. The certificate course is customised for working professionals. The course begins on 4th September.This slide from the Fundamentals of Public Policy module, co-anchored by Pranay Kotasthane and Ameya Naik gives a good idea of what the course has to offer.PolicyWTF: Market Pricing with Government CharacteristicsThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?— Pranay KotasthaneDid you know that the price of a paracetamol tablet is capped at approximately Rs 2 by the government? Apparently, over 200 companies produce paracetamol under different brand names. Such levels of competition should’ve kept the price of paracetamol low in any case. Why the price cap then? Turns out that not just paracetamol, nearly 14 per cent of drugs by value, and 25 per cent by volume in India fall under price controls. Not only are their prices capped, but the mechanism used for capping is disingenuously labelled ‘market-based pricing’. I find this label fascinating because this is the second instance I know where the government actively distorts market prices and yet is successful in passing the blame on markets for the resultant price rise. Consider the case of pharmaceuticals first. Market-based pricing here obviously doesn’t mean that a drug can be priced on the basis of demand and supply alone. Instead, it just means that the price cap will be calculated by averaging prices of brands that held at least a 1 per cent share of the market for the formulation.Anticipating the unintended consequences of such a policy is not difficult. One, price caps ‘disincentivise’ differentiation and innovation. Why would any new company invest in creating a new formulation when it cannot reap the benefits by charging higher? Two, price caps foster collusion and rent-seeking. With new entrants impeded from disrupting the sector, incumbents can benefit by colluding with each other. By collectively and incrementally increasing the price of their brand, the price cap threshold can be pushed up. And three, the engineered market-based pricing deepens the scepticism Indian consumers have with the price system. No wonder that an ordinary Indian intuits that market-based price is just a euphemism for unreasonable price hikes. Another sector where the government passes off its active price distortion as a market-based mechanism is in fuel pricing. Since 2010 and 2014, the price of petrol and diesel have been deregulated respectively. If the market were truly allowed to operate, petrol and diesel prices should’ve hit an all-time low over the last few years because of the excess supply. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic even depressed the demand. And yet, petrol prices hit a century because the government more than compensated for the drop in market prices by increasing the tax rate on the two fuels. We have covered this chicanery in many previous editions. So the next time you see sticky high prices, poor quality, or both, first investigate the government diktats on pricing in that sector.As a parting shot, it’s important to understand the beauty of the price system. Hayek’s landmark essay The Use of Knowledge in Society explains that the price system is a decentralised coordinating mechanism for society. As he wrote in the essay:“Assume that somewhere in the world a new opportunity for the use of some raw material, say, tin, has arisen, or that one of the sources of supply of tin has been eliminated. It does not matter for our purpose—and it is very significant that it does not matter—which of these two causes has made tin more scarce. All that the users of tin need to know is that some of the tin they used to consume is now more profitably employed elsewhere and that, in consequence, they must economize tin. There is no need for the great majority of them even to know where the more urgent need has arisen, or in favor of what other needs they ought to husband the supply. If only some of them know directly of the new demand, and switch resources over to it, and if the people who are aware of the new gap thus created in turn fill it from still other sources, the effect will rapidly spread throughout the whole economic system and influence not only all the uses of tin but also those of its substitutes and the substitutes of these substitutes, the supply of all the things made of tin, and their substitutes, and so on; and all his without the great majority of those instrumental in bringing about these substitutions knowing anything at all about the original cause of these changes. The whole acts as one market, not because any of its members survey the whole field, but because their limited individual fields of vision sufficiently overlap so that through many intermediaries the relevant information is communicated to all.”Every time the government interferes with the price system, the information residing in the price gets diminished. The real-world implications of this loss are all too familiar — price caps lead to shortages and poor quality, price floors lead to wasteful expenditure. Distorting prices costs lives.Not(PolicyWTF): Civics vs Political ScienceThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen?— Pranay KotasthaneOne of the positive changes in our education system is the improvement in the quality of NCERT textbooks. Readers over the age of thirty will recall studying a boring subject called “civics”. This subject was the first and sometimes the only introduction to political science to many people of this age group. Not only was it boring, civics explicitly avoided introducing students to the messy details, ambiguities, and contradictions of our social and political lives. Framed with a colonial mindset, it gave the impression that subjects’ enjoyment of the rights granted by the State is contingent on them performing duties. Last week, I happened to search for what students were learning in Civics today. I was pleasantly surprised. There is no Civics anymore. The National Curriculum Framework 2005 acknowledged has reimagined the sterile commandments into richer political science discussions. Have a look yourself here. Of course, upgrading textbooks is the easier part of the problem. Changing the minds of teachers and parents who have internalised simplistic and wrong models is far more difficult. Perhaps the loss of nuance in our political discourse is a consequence of being “curriculated” in an uncritical way. For now, I was just happy going through the new textbooks.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Article] TCA Raghavan reviews Shivashankar Menon’s book in India Today.

Nationalism in China seems to have taken a feral turn, with Chinese netizens viciously turning on Olympic athletes, celebrities and even the über-nationalist Global Times for letting down the motherland. This month we’re talking about the evolution of Chinese nationalism and the factors driving the emergence of a new cadre of aggressive diplomats known as wolf warriors. Louisa and Graeme are joined by Bloomberg journalist Peter Martin, who's just written China’s Civilian Army: The Making of Wolf Warrior Diplomacy and Cornell University’s Jessica Chen Weiss, who’s also the China editor at the Washington Post and has written a book called Powerful Patriots: Nationalist Protest in China’s Foreign Relations.

Pew Research Centre report on language in India. Jawaharlal Nehru made sure that Hindi is the blue-eyed boy of Independent India snubbing other languages. It followed by official push for Urdu in Jammu and Kashmir over other local languages. Jugalbandi of Hindi and Urdu supremacists during British Raj. What happened to other North Indian languages? were they swallowed by Hindi?. Left has the record of implementing their homogenous dreams. Soviet Union has failed in many aspects of making its population as homogenous as it can, China is pushing very hard to make the Mandarin the default language for all its provinces. Was Hindi the “Link Language”? The extraordinary statements made by Hindi Supremacists are not backed with extraordinary evidence when it comes to “Link Language”, “Nationalistic language”, “Desh Bhakti language”, ”Uniting language”.

Sam and Emma host Pascal Robert of the This is Revolution podcast to discuss the Moïse assassination in Haiti as a product of neoliberalism and colonialism, before they touch on the US's foreign policy role in the Caribbean, and what Eric Adams's Democratic primary victory means for progressive democrats moving forward. Emma, Sam, and Pascal start with the context for the Western occupation of Haiti, starting with the Haitian Revolution that forced the French, Spanish, and British armies off of the Island after centuries of brutal enslavement and abuse under settler-colonialism, with attempts by the French to reclaim the country continuing into the 19th Century. Next, Robert walks us through the U.S.' role as one of the biggest beneficiaries of Haitian independence, with the Louisiana Purchase stemming as a direct result, and how we took advantage of the continued inequality and lack of colonial power with an occupation of Haiti from 1915-34, extracting what resources we could, and a return to colonial practices under neoliberalism, with U.S. backed Dictators as the only leaders with any prolonged stay in office since the Regan administration. They wrap up the interview by looking into how the assassination of Moïse came to be, stemming from conflict with a largely non-Haitian Oligarchical class that the U.S. likely could not stand by any longer, and Pascal Roberts discusses the importance of the Black and Creole middle classes in how the country moves forwards. Sam and Emma round out the first half with Steve Schmidt's return to his strategy of using terrorism to turn a profit – first with 9/11, and now 1/6. And in the Fun Half: Loudnie from Montreal calls in to explore the roles of the US and UN in Haiti over the last couple of decades, Ellis from FL asks a few questions on the upcoming infrastructure bill that don't quite have answers, and Sam and Emma watch Tucker Carlson hit all of his favorite topics, from the Nationalistic hubris he and Jesse Waters show in the face of the mass displacement and genocide of Indigenous Americans, to declaring that promoting the vaccine is Eugenics (but not the kind he supports) just months after declaring that giving the vaccine to poor folks but not wealthy was also Eugenics. Then, Alacrity from Alabama explains why slavery was wrong actually because it WASN'T useful to Capitalists, despite all of the free labor, since it delayed the technological developments of the Industrial Revolution, which was funded by profits from… the slave trade, Josh from Chicago looks into the wins the left had in NY Primaries, even outside of the DSA, and Nancy Pelosi does whatever she can to avoid promoting medicare or party unity, plus, your calls and IMs!

The theme of Debatable IV 2021's first round is education! When we were in primary and secondary school, we would have to do the flag ceremony every morning as part of an effort to instill nationalism in the youth. Nationalistic education is debatable in and of itself, but it is especially debatable in the context of young nations that are recovering from strife and internal conflicts. This begs the question: should we stop trying to instill nationalism in these schools? The motion reads: THBT post-conflict states should not instill nationalism through the education system. We'd like to thank Mikkel Neri for contributing this motion and for this post-debate analysis! 00:00 Introduction 00:53 Why debate about education? 2:28 What is nationalism? 4:02 Why is nationalism instilled in education? 5:07 Arguing for government side 8:01 How to extend for gov 13:04 Reframing nationalism on opp 15:45 Arguing for opp 18:19 Extending for Opp 20:00 What's the matter? 21:50 Advice for Educ motions
Politics and sports or sports diplomacy describes the use of sport as a means to influence diplomatic, social, and political relations. Sports diplomacy may transcend cultural differences and bring people together. The use of sports and politics has had both positive and negative implications over history. Sports competitions or activities have had the intention to bring about change in certain cases. Nationalistic fervour is sometimes linked to victories or losses to some sport on sports fields. While the Olympics is often the biggest political example of using sports for diplomatic means, cricket and association football, as well as other sports in the global arena, have also been used in this regard. In the case of Apartheid, sport was used to isolate South Africa and bring about a major overhaul in the country's social structure. While ethnicity, race, social class and more can cause division, sports is also said to help blend differences.

The Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe asked the Federal Government to be more sincere in handling the security affairs of the country.Abaribe was of the opinion that if Nigeria is to be saved from implosion, then the government must become more nationalistic.The senator called for a thorough investigation into the rising wave of attack on police formations across the country, especially the ones that happened in Imo State.Senator Abaribe further expressed worry that the country is fast sliding into total anarchy and cautioned that the time has come when the federal government should rise up and address the poor security situation in the country holistically looking at Nigeria as a nation.

Thank you for joining me on the hit parade today.All four gospels carry the start of the Great Week. It is the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem.There is much to appreciate. A few things particularly charmed me.From Matthew: One of the best questions of scripture. What this whole podcast is about, "Who is this." I bless you as you wrestle with this question.From John: that they were PALM leaves. Nationalistic. Temple-ic. Made that word up.From all of them: Cloaks on the ground. This was a big deal. Cloaks are really valuable.From Mark: the when's and where's. He enters Jerusalem. LOOKS around in the temple and then retires to Bethany 2 miles away because it is late. From Luke: "The Lord has need of it." The question follows, "for me today, what might the Lord have need of?"I love my listeners. bewithme.us@gmail.com
Drew and Jarrod in conversation with Brian Zahnd on the new documentary inspired by his groundbreaking book "Postcards from Babylon." Postcards from Babylon, the book: The original gospel proclamation that the Lord of the nations was a crucified Galilean raised from the dead and that salvation was found in vowing allegiance to Jesus of Nazareth unleashed a shock wave that turned the Roman Empire upside down. Early Christianity was subversive and dangerous—dangerous for Christians and a threat to the keepers of the old order. Most of all Christianity was countercultural. But what about contemporary American Christianity? Is it the countercultural way of Jesus or merely a religious endorsement of Americanism? In his provocative book, Postcards From Babylon, Brian Zahnd challenges the reader to see and embrace a daring Jesus-centered Christianity that can again turn the world upside down. https://www.amazon.com.au/Postcards-Babylon-Church-American-Exile-ebook/dp/B07M5HJ5XB Postcards from Babylon, the documentary: Postcards From Babylon is a long-form documentary featuring author and pastor, Brian Zahnd, as he investigates possibly the most important question for the church in North America today:How does the church stay faithful to the beautiful way of Jesus while situated in one of the most divisive political climates in our nation's history? The film explores how Christians seeking proximity to power has led to a hyperpartisan Nationalistic posture that is demonstrably hindering the witness of Christ.

This norm may sound pretty obvious—and familiar, because it is an inescapable one these days, given the socio-political climate, not just in India but in many countries across the world. Recall the Donald Trump’s MAGA ideology that almost demanded a nationalistic fervor from business (the integrity of that ideology is another debate altogether), Brexit has asked Britons to view business from a non-EU lens first. Even in something as critical as a Covid-19 vaccine, the US wants to favor the one developed by an American company (Pfizer, in this case) while India has its predilections towards the ones where Bharat Biotech or The Serum Institute have a hand. So, will local geo-politics influence businesses & will brands start being vocal about showing off their nationalistic credentials and make that a key strategic pillar in their playbook? To answer this, we have an expert who has straddled the line between both local and global. Our guest expert today is Geetu Verma from Unilever, a global marketer and business leader, part of Unilever's global Foods and Refreshment team based out of Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Maybe natives need to see countries, their own native born historical country thru the eyes of an immigrant once in a while. Bc that's that problems whites don't do that now and then travel, and still don't become the immigrant. Yall never do! No, u expect the same everything when yall travel. Language and customs and food. Fuckin British tourists I. E Spain and Malta. Koreans and French in Bethlehem.Especially if u truly see urself as a global citizen then stop seeing so much ur country as UR country and the world as UR world. The globe is filled with many people and stories. Nationalistic religious political and survival stories all over. Just bc not all are known or widely known by the whites or vice versa with the Global South doesn't mean there aren't many stories shared and differ from everyone else's.Life is not a story, 21 Lessons, Harari
Many things have been exposed as a result of this COVID-19 coronavirus crisis. Perhaps the one that will result in the biggest change in our lives with Globalisation. Over the past several years we have been running full speed towards Globalisation. Globalisation is Good. Or at least, it was. Today, with much of the world in lockdown, we're needing to look within rather than rely on our global neighbours. Nationalistic sentiments have been rising in many countries for a few years now. Could this be the event that turns us around and headlong into De-Globalisation? #globalisation #globalization #nationalism
In 1947 a book was published in Jerusalem bearing the title "Kol Hator". It ascribed Messianic overtones to the immigration of a group of students of the Vilna Goan nearly two centuries earlier, with the accompanying claim that they were the original Zionists. The book itself was allegedly written by R Hillel Rivlin, one of those talmidim who came during that period. But was it? Who wrote the book? What motivated the author? Why did the students of the Vilna Goan - and the earlier Chassidic Aliya for that matter - move to the land of Israel at the turn of the Nineteenth Century? Was there immigration a Messianic or Nationalistic endeavor? And most of all, how is that legacy a relevant story today in the tense polemics of both scholarly as well as public discourse?

Is Islam really the fastest growing religion? If so, then where are the Muslims and why are our Mosques sitting empty on a daily basis (besides the role call, obligated Jum’uah crowd)? There is a phenomenon happening in the Western Muslim communities and beyond that we are either ignorant to or just plain ignoring. We are standing on the edge of a very serious crisis and this is a crisis of Faith. We are losing people from Islam faster than we are able to sustain them and the truth is being masked by this dangerous rhetoric being doled out by Shayukh and the general Muslim population alike. Yet, this is not a discussion on where to put blame, this is a discussion on how much we have contributed to this breakdown on a very personal level. This lecture is a passionate plea for us to turn our attention to the matter at hand. We are too busy creating cliques at the Masajid, making it a club for our own Nationalistic interests and creating a demeaning class system that goes against everything that is elevated in Islam. Converts, Muslims coming back to Islam and our children are not welcome presences in these spaces. They are less than an afterthought or more than a nuisance. These people are ignored. While we sit in our little groups, these “others” are left to their own vices, their voices drowned out by our laughter, clinking potluck spoons and shady politicking. Our children wander around these spaces without any connection to Allah or His Messenger, observe our thoughtless behavior, and gain or learn nothing of importance, leading them just a little bit further away from the fold of Islam. All while we pat ourselves on the back for a job well done. In the majority, their questions, their needs and their pleas fall on deaf ears, perhaps, not always in an evident way as you would imagine, but definitely in the sense of complacency, indifference, rejection and overall discourteousness. Say, [O Muhammad], “Shall we inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds? [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work.” Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance. (The Noble Quran 18:103-105) If we do not wake up and realize that we have a serious crisis on our hands, we will lose this struggle and we will all be responsible. The beginning of this lecture is grounding and heartbreaking. Dr. Lang puts us in the shoes of a Convert or Muslim child living in the West walking into a Mosque using vivid and sometimes quite crude language. It’s shocking, it’s something we already knew and discounted. This is the exact affect he wanted and those, who have any softness left in their hearts or have any real sense of right and wrong, will feel the cut of this double edge sword. This is not a lecture to coddle anyone; this is a lecture to wake us up. The passion exhibited by the good Doctor can speak for itself, Alhamdulillah. If we care an iota for the reality of future of Islam in our countries and the world at large if we continue down this road of obliviousness and can put aside our egos long enough to really see the reality of what our children are facing and becoming, then this is the talk that can propel us into recovering not only the lost, but the majority of the closet Atheists who live among us, some in our own homes without our knowledge, Insha’Allah. We shouldn’t pray for things like Hidayah (guidance and knowledge of Islam), righteous offspring and to join the rightly guided people of Allah SWT in Jannah, if we cannot understand what those things mean, why we ask for them or how they will manifest. Allah grants all these in the opportunities we are granted to change and better ourselves everyday, but if we do not avail these opportunities and we do not understand them then are these du’a that we make really...
Big Idea of Jonah: Salvation Belongs to the Lord and is yours in Jesus.A disobedient prophet who happens also to be a Prejudiced and Nationalistic (dare we say racist) man who is called to preach toMurderous and merciless savages, but by savages we clearly mean urbane and civilised people.While acting disobediently our Jonah is swallowed by a sea monster of some sort who vomits him out…And at the end of it all Jonah preaches a withholding Gospel which seems to bring salvation to “those” people and to their cows too.3 Things to Expect in Jonah:You should see the actions of and hear from our compassionate God.You should see the lostness of all people but especially “God's People”.Repentance (a gift from God) Pleases God and judgement is removed.How You Should Expect to be Changed:You should be turned from Spiritual Pride.You should seek to show compassion to others.You should be wanting to know more about the God who bends all of creation for your Salvation.

Nationalism. It is a commonly-held belief that humans in the 23rd and 24th century world of Star Trek have progressed beyond nationalism. The Federation, however, is only one of many intra-galactic nation states. The Federation, the Romulan Empire, the Klingon Empire, and the Cardassian Empire each has its own "national" symbols, colors, political structure, and cultural values. To what extent has the Federation helped humanity transcend the need for nationalism, and to what extent is it still bound by nationalism but on a larger, galactic scale? In this episode of Meta Treks: A Star Trek Philosophy Podcast, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling debate the role of nationalism in the Star Trek universe, asking the fundamental question, "Is nationalism something to be transcended or to be embraced within the idealism of Star Trek's vision of the future?"

Drew and Jarrod in conversation with Brian Zahnd on the new documentary inspired by his groundbreaking book "Postcards from Babylon." Postcards from Babylon, the book: The original gospel proclamation that the Lord of the nations was a crucified Galilean raised from the dead and that salvation was found in vowing allegiance to Jesus of Nazareth unleashed a shock wave that turned the Roman Empire upside down. Early Christianity was subversive and dangerous—dangerous for Christians and a threat to the keepers of the old order. Most of all Christianity was countercultural. But what about contemporary American Christianity? Is it the countercultural way of Jesus or merely a religious endorsement of Americanism? In his provocative book, Postcards From Babylon, Brian Zahnd challenges the reader to see and embrace a daring Jesus-centered Christianity that can again turn the world upside down. https://www.amazon.com.au/Postcards-Babylon-Church-American-Exile-ebook/dp/B07M5HJ5XB Postcards from Babylon, the documentary: Postcards From Babylon is a long-form documentary featuring author and pastor, Brian Zahnd, as he investigates possibly the most important question for the church in North America today:How does the church stay faithful to the beautiful way of Jesus while situated in one of the most divisive political climates in our nation's history? The film explores how Christians seeking proximity to power has led to a hyperpartisan Nationalistic posture that is demonstrably hindering the witness of Christ. As exiled citizens of a superpower nation, Christians' deepest allegiance must be to the peaceful Kingdom of God, and from that posture they must always speak truth to power...no matter the cost. https://www.postcardsdoc.com/ Follow Brian on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BrianZahnd) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/brianzahnd/) @brianzahnd Follow Drew Hart on [Instagram](http://instagram.com/druhart) and [Twitter](http://twitter.com/druhart) @druhart.
