It was a secret society with a bunch of magical rituals to trick people into learning about democracy, because it being illegal wasn’t enough to make people interested

I’m pretty far north and it’s just chilly. Must be the pacific ocean climate

That sounds incredibly unpleasant to the teeth and with sn awful sound to boot

Yeah power forces you to make decisions with human cost, then by necessity it insulates you from a lot of that cost. It destroys the mind whether by isolation from consequences of your actions, which reduces your ability to understand or care for the little people, or by immense stress as you try not to stop seeing the people you hurt, which can lead one very rapidly towards substance abuse.

I’d add a third opportunity, had leadership seen Kronstadt as a wake up call rather than a rebellion they could have implemented left wing pluralism. If the overton window is so far left that allowing capital is unthinkable there’s no risk to your revolution by having it, whereas a single party state makes course correction incredibly unlikely.

That’s not bonus points, they’re allowed to discriminate against the intelligent in hiring

Bond purchasing is bound by (confidence in the government’s ability to pay back * bond payout) / (confidence in the stock market * expected stock payout)

With that in mind, please notice that the latter Trump bar is much lower than the former and remember that while the economy sucked in 2019, we weren’t all meming about the active stock bubble about to destroy the market. The expected value ratios haven’t changed as well.

Yeah, that was his problem last time. He churned through mildly qualified people

The contradiction is vital. They want what they want and protections for themselves. In short conservatives continue to push forward their only proposition: that they be members of an in group whom the law protects but does not bind, and those they dislike be members of an out group whom the law binds but does not protect

This man is too much of an insane clown for even Michigan to handle.
