Here's your closer:

ok - seems like an anti-example The authoritarian regime in Germany grew out of democracy, in spite of democracy. And it wasn't democracy that killed the Soviet Union either. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like the idea but it seems more like authoritarianism dies with utter collapse/devastation.

What's your example on that ?

The Eastern Bloc dissolving has had an appreciable impact on world political economic gyrations. Without a clear opposition to the liberal order, we lived 'the end of history' as per Fukyama's essay until the 21st century challenges of China, Russia, Islamist Terrorism and especially economic inequity rose up and presented challenges that demanded a level of unity that social media actively tries to erode.

The premise of the thread seems strange to me. The neoliberalist and establishment project since 1945 has been to build out a Western Alliance that is economic and Military so as to provide for prosperity. Until the established order started being challenged more directly in the 21st century the wars were sideshows. Would you Rather be alive in 2023 or 1914?

1. Hmmmmm.... well SOMEBODY said it, I don't doubt that. But it wasn't Yahoo! at least not revealed as such in the article. If you are referring to the headline it's from Reuters and it refers to a 'reported strike' so ... are they referring to a news report or a report on the ground ? 2.

Except... people who refuse to take politics seriously are our #1 problem. People who use vague language to cloud the issue when problems need precise descriptions upon which trust can be built. If you don't think that these things matter then you are wrong. A Chud is someone who can't be reasoned with. They need to be tagged and walled in.

Bump. Republican States, children getting married...

My doctor calls it "being a bad person".

Yeah... ask yourself why you are talking to such a person. How bored can you be ?

Tangential question ? Ok ... sometimes it goes sometimes not.
-
Yeah... the post wasn't about that. Old Ideas can be good ideas is the point and I agree.

God did something in 1900 BC... Is somehow relevant to today while the same Chuds will say Slavery and Equal Rights (Civil Rights Act 1964) aren't...

Ok - but the anti-Islam thing went away for a quick minute when they helped organize anti Trans marches FYI. And I'm sure you weren't complaining about immigration 5 years ago before these effects really hit right ? And you do blame provincial governments for their failures in capacity planning for the services they provide right / Anyway... here's to huanced positions...

Exactly. They have been taking a tough right wing position for years... how did it go?
