Governments that raise up against a totalitarian regime in anger rarely end up in a peaceful and prosperous place if they succeed, see France, Lybia, Rome, the Soviet Union/Russian Empire, China every time, Japan (under the shogunate), Egypt (Arab spring), Sudan, Somalia, Assyria (7th century BCE between 612 and 609 BCE), and so many more.
Just update it from F-droid after that or uninstall it from the Google store download the F-Droid store and download jerboa from there.
Yes and no, the confederates lost the war but their whitewashing of history has quite a bit of staying power to the point that states like West Virginia and Ohio who had massively supported the Union in the Civil War are now more likely neo confederates and agree with the south take on “the war of northern aggression” which they started by attacking federal forces and raiding federal weapons depots while backing out of the federal government allowing it to pass a law they cite as the reason they backed out of it, rather than it being able to pass because they backed out. Also the war still left separate but equal and racial discrimination on the books and the last chattel slave in the US was freed during world war 2. So what the south (Pro-confederate states) and Americans who swallowed their propaganda learned was that fighting a war without seeding the ground everywhere first with their point of view and taking over things from the inside, like they did under Wilson, arguably the worst US president of the 20th century, and Trump just took that playbook and took it farther than the public was ready for but still pushed and those special interest groups that supported him had the choice to renounce him and be reviled by both major political wings of the US or back him to the hilt while he destroys the US from within, because if you can’t get everything you want at least you can make sure nobody else gets anything either.

politics @lemmy.world•The case of the missing House Republican who hasn’t voted since March 5

The historical version of this was the ww2 airplane patch job stats, where american bombers returning after getting hit were hit in specific areas and the statistician had to explain that those who returned despite that damage meant those were not the places to reinforce but the other areas of the plane makeing it more survivable, or more recently how Santa Monica CA almost removed crosswalks because that was where the highest pedestrian mortally rates were. In both those cases the people making the assumptions missed the bigger picture, for the planes that those who got hit in more sensitive spots got downed and for pedestrians getting killed at crosswalks that was because that is where pedestrians cross the street most of the time, almost leading to more deaths.
You mean Joanne Kunt Rowling?
You should talk to members of the satanic temple and the such those people tend to be humanists and all about personal sexual autonomy not pedos who eat babies, that sounds closer to blood libel territory.

Nah but that’s what he wanted, he is the truest form of tech bro, destroy the world, refuse to accept consequences of his actions, weaseled his way out of the situation and managed to, in the wake of unimaginable human suffering, get more power over people and has a god complex tell me this isn’t some or all the characteristics of people like Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Bill Gates, hell even Tim Cook and Steve Jobs before him. Punishment doesn’t stop this sort of behavior but removing the possibility of someone having that level of control over others is the only way but the richest and most powerful have always sought ways of amassing more power not realizing that that leads to worse off situations for everyone including themselves, Horizon did great encapsulating that trait in Faro, but be it him, the people behind Skynet, the Matrix or whatever other tech dystopia that tech bros seem pathologically unable to not try to make happen in the worst way possible is only the beginning, they seem to forget that even with advanced tech that serves their needs and wants, which won’t help their mental health, the people lower down on the rungs of society have brains, wants and needs, and they have more expertise in all sorts of things than the 1% are except for mass exploitation. This inevitably goes wrong one of a few ways, either everyone dies from the tech, or so many that societal collapse is inevitable not great and even if society survives it can’t functionally reconstitute itself; 2 they win and kill off or supress enough of society that the society becomes less productive and instead of fighting the powerful they flee or don’t participate in wealth generating for the rich were they don’t have to, maybe to rise up again later or the economy of the region just ignores them completely and the government protects themselves from their people more than anything else, or 3rd your revolution with terror campaigns against any and all who can be credibly accused of being part of the former tyrants. In all 3 cases the richer people end up poorer overall because wealth flees or dies in autocracy.
