Hi again, fellers! Time for the new monthly topic. The one you chose for May was:

Fringe Ideologies



Here are some details on the subject:

- Under-representation and lack of representation in politics
- Political pluralism and the two-party state
- Political populism and populist ideologies
- The political establishment; mainstream parties
- Social injustice as a trigger for fringe ideology
- Political extremism: history, tools, prominent figures
- Fringe politics as a strategy
- Vigilantism, violent extremism and terrorism
- Communism, anarchism, libertarianism, etc
- Political correctness and fringe reactions to it
- Emerging political figures of the fringe
- Religious fundamentalism as a political tool
- Fraud, hoax and disinformation as a political tool
- Rogue, failed and unrecognized states

And here's the poll for June:

What should be the next monthly topic?

1) Projecting Power
2) Cultural Stereotypes
3) International Trade Relations

I'm with you on this one. #s 2 and 3. My workout tutor and I were having a discussion about #2 just last week with one of the guys working at the local YMCA front desk who happens to be African-American. I forget how this subject came up, think it was a movie about racism. But this employee shares the view of me and both tutors.

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
