Stupidity is spreading as populists are elected.

Italy's interior ministry says all migrants in the southern town of Riace, famous for welcoming them, must be transferred away.

The migrants will be moved to other migrant centres next week.

The move comes days after the arrest of the town's mayor, Domenico Lucano, over his alleged role organising "marriages of convenience" for immigration purposes.

He has been put under house arrest amid a national debate about integration.

His arrest follows months of tougher migration enforcement from Italy's populist government.

IMO, the entire world needs a "mandatory time-out" ~ national "policies" are beginning to resemble overly-tired 3yos on a rampage ~ :ey

it's a global contagion of tribalism. and yes, it is spreading.

I have noticed that, but wondering why it is rearing its head in so many other countries all of a sudden- or so it seems. What is going on globally that is making it spread so readily?

So-called "capitalism" is failing. According to the "father of capitalism" (Adam Smith) it's supposed to raise all boats not just a few of them. IOW, there's a social responsibility that has been neglected for decades.

1) Smith would be horrified at most of what is practiced in his name.
2) i think the internet has a lot to do with what is going on.

The internet is definitely responsible for "a lot to do with what is going on" ~ mass messaging across the world at the speed of light ~ the problem I see is the "if it's on the internet it must be true" mindset ~ :g
