#1741 Global Uprisings: Dissatisfaction Roiling France, the UK, and Nepal
Manage episode 510468381 series 8456
Air Date 10/3/2025
People around the world are angry, often for different reasons and even more frequently based on falseities - though not always. For instance, the Right in the UK and France are upset about immigration though most of those who are angry are wrong about the facts. But there's also widespread dissatisfaction with national governments and pessimism about their ability to make life better over the short term which is leading to much less predictable politics.
