Since both heads of state were heavily "sponsored" by blackrock et al., similiar policies are to be expected.

... I don't understand what your angle is? This is a genuinely useful list.

For example: there seem to be types of revolution.

Type 1: (the one I mentioned) where leadership goes "well we tried slaughter, they still coming, we should give up" Type 2: "we will not slaughter people, we'd rather give up" (eg the Mongolian revolution) Type 3: "they have the combined forces of police and military behind them, we better give up" (the lybian coup that brought Gaddafi to power, for example.)

I was looking at the list by era. First one, 1918, Egyptian Revolution.

The revolution was successfully countered by British forces.... Victims 800-1600.

That was very insightful! Thanks, I did not know this list existed. May need it for future reference.

I agree. While the main article is goes deep into obscure (albeit interesting) machinations, your article is very on point. It starts with

if you’re expecting a sexy story about Elon Musk messing with vote-counting software from outer space, sorry, you won’t get that here.

And then lays down the numbers:

— 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data.

— By August of 2024, for the first time since 1946, self-proclaimed “vigilante” voter-fraud hunters challenged the rights of 317,886 voters. The NAACP of Georgia estimates that by Election Day, the challenges exceeded 200,000 in Georgia alone.

— No fewer than 2,121,000 mail-in ballots were disqualified for minor clerical errors (e.g. postage due).

— At least 585,000 ballots cast in-precinct were also disqualified.

— 1,216,000 “provisional” ballots were rejected, not counted.

— 3.24 million new registrations were rejected or not entered on the rolls in time to vote.

It continues listing concrete things people can directly influence. I liked the article, thank you soo much. Very insightful.

Archive.org has you covered.

Nothing really interesting just a user stating it has happened to them.

I would call that a collapse of communication, but I understand what you mean. I agree that stopping to work on oneself and/or disassociating from your partner in a relationship is a huge betrayal and all around shitty behavior. Thanks for clarifying. I'm totally with you on that.

BTW I once woke someone up to their behavior during a screaming match where I shouted "Why are you like this, we a supposed to be on the same side! Both of us against the problem, not whatever you're doing." Well at least I think these were my words, there might have been a lot more swear words ... But that was successful only one time, so ....

Well I dimly remember after the 30 year war (? It was a long time ago I learned about this, could have been the restoration after the Napoleonic wars) the church gave up vast swathes of Land in exchange for a set amount of dividends from the state.

But given that was after a drawn out tumultuous war, so I see your point.

So.... more deceit? I've had uhmmm enough contact with all sexes in my time, and found "a relationship is a means to an end" type behavior in too many of my fellow humans. Also when they will not stop sliding into shittier and shittier behavior it usually means they were shitty from the start, but their mask is slipping.

Still amazes me, the many, many people seeing felationships as purely transactional.

Edit: lol, the typo stays.

Just last week I was re-patching some nasty piece of business logic at a client for a day and remembered the application "Filter Top" from the nineties, where I solved a similar (but slightly simpler) problem on a far inferior less advanced platform in a few minutes with a GUI even.

Return to monke. I'm with you.

Well like all lunatic right wing theories this has a kernel of truth. He just needs to strike Jewish, and the purpose is even more money.

From personal experience the "you're overthinking it, its just class warfare nothing else and that is bad enough " was to me the more effective way of pulling well meaning generally liberal/left leaning people back from the edge of the lunatic to fascism pipeline. I once made the mistake of doing "yes and (the Jesuits and the Medici)" in an ill advised attempt at humor. That person is not in my life anymore. It was far too comfortable being a hateful lunatic around me.

Wouldn't the shareholders, who profit far more off any company than any CEO be a better target? Of taxation and eventual deposition (taxing them out of existence), of course, I do not care about violence.
