The Firewall Paradox: Why AfD Is Rising While the Sweden Democrats Are Falling (opens the original)

When You Win the Argument but Lose the Election (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time since its founding, the Sweden Democrats (SD) have lost support in a general election. They fell from around twenty percent to under eighteen, and dropped from the second largest party to third, behind the Moderates.

A lot of the crowd that has gathered in her supp
Nelson Mandela and the Long Walk to Freedom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m currently reading Nelson Mandela’s biography, Long Walk to Freedom. I’ve worked a great deal in South Africa and spent long stretches there, so I figured it was time to sit with a story that a lot of people refer to. I think it’s worth taking one subject or event and reading it from opposite sides. I know the Boer version fairly well, and the English version too, but I’ve got a weaker grip on the black tribes.People act on the stories their side tells, and lean on them to justify what they d
