Venetia is more than a modern region—it is a continuous historical, ethnocultural and geopolitical space stretching from the Alps to the Adriatic, with roots tracing back over 3,000 years. From the Ancient Veneti and Roman Regio X, to the Lombard duchies, the Venetian Republic, and into the modern era, its identity persisted through shifting borders and foreign rule. This article explores that unbroken continuity and how Venetia evolved—not as Italy later defined it, but as it understood itself. https://radicaldose.com/venetian-geography-territorial-continuity/

Cemil argues that if Russia is recruiting mercenaries from the global south, so too should Ukraine; since the West isn't doing enough to fill Ukraine's manpower shortage, Ukraine must look elsewhere.

Cemil — On Christmas, it’s worth asking what we’re honoring beyond comfort and tradition. Ukrainians—people like us—are a test of our collective conscience. Their fate and sacrifice should stir our souls and remind us what freedom costs. https://radicaldose.com/people-just-like-you/

Daily Zoomer writes about how New York City has fallen completely into enemy hands: Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a foreign-born Ugandan Muslim socialist, was sworn in as the city's 112th mayor. https://radicaldose.com/is-it-time-for-new-yorkers-to-leave/
Italy’s North–South divide shows up in school culture. In much of the North, grades act more like a strict measure of merit—fewer perfect Maturità scores, stronger INVALSI results. In much of the South, grades function more like social currency https://radicaldose.com/italy-north-south-education-gap/

"Trump was never the guy to normalize white identity politics. In fact, he explicitly said that he wasn’t. But we heard what we wanted to hear, and believed what we wanted to believe. And where has it gotten us?" https://radicaldose.com/supporting-trump-was-wrongeven-in-2016/

Third Venetia examines how the Republic of Venice designed trade institutions that captured the benefits of pre-modern global exchange while preserving political and economic sovereignty.

"The primary aim of the fóntego was not assimilation but containment. While foreign merchants were welcomed as contributors to the city’s economic vitality, they were kept structurally and legally separate from Venetian society. This regulated asymmetry served the Republic’s interest in controlling trade without conceding political or economic ground." https://radicaldose.com/venice-fonteghi-trade-policy/
