@TomRtweets Congrats on writing one of the dumbest articles of the week (which is saying a lot)!
@Noahpinion Thucydides never said that "democracy is incapable of empire." That quote appears, but in the mouth of Cleon. If Thucydides' history says anything about democracy and empire, it suggests that empire is a natural consequence of democracy.
hey @YouTube nothing says "we care about you" like a no-reply email informing you that you'll be out of a month's pay. thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers 🥰🥰🥰
⬇️New video live on Nebula. YouTube in 7 days.⬇️ Who needs an empire when you have baseball? nebula.tv/videos/spectac…
SPECTACLES IS NOW ON NEBULA!!! go.nebula.tv/spectacles @WatchNebula
Back on Twitter to share our NEW VIDEO, the story of the unsolved murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986. Check it out now, and share if you enjoy! youtu.be/g77LBayXwyw?si…

Why should Estonia's, this tiny country's, story matter to you? 🇪🇪 @SpectaclesMedia has summed up the answer in their #Youtube video. If you also want to learn how #Estonia became so digital and restored its democracy, we recommend watching it. 👇🏼 youtu.be/iqTaCupABd8

what can I say? Great minds think alike. drops tomorrow: youtube.com/@spectacles-dm
#Sudan Crisis is nothing new. For years the country has been dominated by selfish men wasting young lives in their quests for power. Get a deeper understanding of the roots of the crisis and why dictatorship just won't go away, especially in Sudan👇👇 youtube.com/watch?v=_qwb_T…
@MarkoseButler @CaptainBagpipes Missed this exchange lol—we endorse @CaptainBagpipes endorsement and incidentally were at the New Democracy conference last year when we were still writing our newsletter (which is now the YT channel). Hope you like what you see!
NEW VIDEO Taiwan is known as one of East Asia's most successful democracies, both politically and economically. But less than four decades ago, it was a highly consolidated dictatorship. How did its transition take place? Check it out here ⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=AvWUHq…
NEW VIDEO!! In 1965, an empty chair nearly destroyed fledgling European institutions. What was this "empty chair" crisis, and what can it tell us about the European Union today? youtube.com/watch?v=VzblQN…
NEW VIDEO Since it regained it independence in 1991, Estonia has undertaken an experiment in digital democracy. How did the country develop its futuristic project, and what can we learn from it? Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=iqTaCu…
@romulushoog @EU_Commission @EuropeInto Yes but also there is simply a hard cap on how good EU explainer content can be when you have the European Council and the Council of Europe which are separate parallel institutions with entirely different structures and responsibilities lmao

Francis Fukuyama defends liberalism as "The end of history" gamely...liberalism is the end of history. But our way there may be a bumpy ride. What do you think? Video by @SpectaclesMedia youtu.be/7YH4iAqG6rM
@AngelicaOung omg we have been so far off our Twitter game that this slipped right by us.... thank you so much for sharing Angelica, and so happy you enjoyed the video!!! :)
NEW VIDEO The Iraq War is rightly remembered as one of the United States' most significant foreign policy debacles. But there are elements of the story that have received a poverty of attention. Check out our newest video here: youtube.com/watch?v=-cjriL…
