God, what a bizarre route for the old expanded universe that was.

“hide of a wild beast” is unfortunately as specific the histories go.

the proper way is to do a hostile takeover of the Democratic party.

so, we need to do the same with the DNC. the formula is simple. hijack the primaries, shove the existing leadership out and show the Republicans what “socialism” really means.

Amen.

The Black Panthers weren’t even formed until the greatest victories of the Civil Rights Movement had already been won, and for all of Malcolm X’s rhetoric before leaving the Nation of Islam, the threat of violence from Black Nationalists was not a core factor to the victories of the Civil Rights Movement.

MLK Jr. spent nearly a decade and a half building organizations and connections for nationwide resistance.

Letting Palpatine assume power is not really an alternative.

You can care about the Palestinian genocide, while acknowledging that of the two choices you have, “No fascism at home and genocide in Palestine” and “Fascism at home and increased support for genocide in Palestine”, the former is considerably preferable, and there’s no real moral reason for letting the latter come to pass.

“I don’t think everyone realised quite how much democratic systems and electoral systems were targets. We tended to be quite comfortable in the way we runs things. We now have to be really up to speed with the threats,” he said.

When people very prominently shout for a decade about the issue, including high-profile hacks of other nations, but governments still ignore it.

It’s common in parliamentary systems to describe the ruling coalition (‘the government’) dissolving under unfavorable circumstances as the government ‘collapsing’, it’s just an accepted nomenclature.

It must be remembered - it’s not “China vs. the US” so much as it is “Authoritarian abusers vs. the abused”.

If only.

“I face obstacles too, you know”

Lmao it’s the third guy out in 12 months,

Yes, that’s… kind of the problem.

France is doing great keeping the far right out of power and that’s literally all I care about.

The issue is that France did so by making a coalition with the left-wing - which is good!

And then immediately after the election turning around and making a coalition with the right-wing. Which is bad.

Now Macron’s centrists are in a position where they can’t offer any more concessions to the right without tanking themselves, and the left doesn’t trust them without receiving major concessions that the centrists are not willing to give.

When the next election rolls around, what are the chances, you think, of the left making an alliance with the centrists again, after doing so in good faith last time and seeing the centrists make an alliance with the right-wing after the election was over and the danger had passed?

Kind of sounds like you’re asserting someone’s view is right or wrong.

You’re thinking of the Revolutionary War. In the US Civil War, the Second French Empire was friendly towards the Confederates, not the Union.

The graph is saying “As millennials get older, the debt increases”

Time axis, but millennial focused

Billions more for graft, not one cent for the defense of democracies.

I fucking hate this administration.

Can I get some serotonin

The Civil War?

Good.

… hm.

FUCK YEAH
