Could you please do a follow-up study on which of these activities scholars who study poor Americans are most likely to do?

A saint, a moron, or a zealot. Can't it be all three?

Great to see this in print, and in a wonderful journal. Congrats, Klara!

Julius Malema must be loving this, too

It's bad when Johann Rupert has to be a voice of reason and shine light on murders in the Cape Flats

I also admire Rupert, for all his faults, to speak up about the extreme violence the continues to plague the Cape Flats

It seemed that the news articles were just printouts of recent news stories of tragedies. Victims happened to be white.

I see it a bit differently. Ernie and Retief have long been servants of South Africa abroad and are adored at home. They have the country's interests at heart. Retief, from a personal perspective, spoke about the challenges facing farmers. Nothing they said supports the genocide fraud

My initial reaction -- a diplomatic masterclass by Cyril Ramaphosa. Calm and calculated responses to a very difficult setting and meeting today

Extremely interesting work that talks to several literatures! Excellent

Surely the causal arrow flows both ways, no? Lack of sleep has profound impacts on cardiovascular health and immune system function

Sure they do respond to events. But isn't it also possible that they practice a healthy dose of cognitive dissonance and can see this behaviour as off-putting in a foreign leader, but may be less eager to dismiss it when it's one of their own, focussing on local issues?

I agree with the crux of this reporting but labelling the CIADI/ICSID a 'neocolonial international arbitration tribunal' (Honduras Now not you) isn't entirely accurate. Calling it as such denigrates who the members are, the aims of the body, and stretches the meaning of neocolonial(ism)

Are we talking Ghana or Syria? Oh, never mind πŸ˜€
