This probably will get flagged but the Brexit discussion that is beyond if it is good or not is interesting and quite relevant to the tech community considering all the scandals about data processing.
When the news first broke I asked this and I still think it's something worth discussing:
"Putting the substance of the politics aside, I wonder why all this feels coordinated.
I mean Trump, Brexit, Putin, ErdoÄźan, The guy in Brazil, in Hungary - all seem to act like a part of a bigger organization.
I don’t really believe that there’s a grand conspiracy but I am fascinated how unrelated organizations act in resonance.
It’s not even limited to big politics, suddenly right wing bigotry is sexy. “Lone wolfs” attack women, minorities or pretty much any outliers, movements emerge as ways to combat vegans, girls that don’t behave in the desired ways etc."
I've just realised, I now have to start explicitly classifying myself as a parliamentarian. A word that hasn't been particularly relevant for the past 350 years, hope it doesn't turn out the same as last time...
