  • I didn‘t kill „everybody“. I killed the king, his family and his guards and maybe his ministers or generals

    Not how civil wars work unfortunately

    No, I am a member of one of many militias

    Which makes you a part of the military power of the new rule. So yeah.

    Yes. Thats how war works.

    Yes. That’s my point actually.

    Exactly

    Ok, but that’s worse. You do get how that’s worse, right?




  • When you killed everyone in a coup, you are by definition a new military. You might prefer less authoritarian system now, but all your friends who are running around with rifles trying to do a coup are in it for power, it’s just how the selection process goes, for everyone bright eyed idealist who will immediately relinquish his absolute authority that he just won by fighting a civil war, there will be 10 people who fought in civil war to get this absolute authority.
    We know that, because actually I deceived you earlier, it’s not 19th century now, and we already saw how that happened. And also, both technologies and situations are different now




  • What boils my blood is that everyone kinda accepted right’s reaction to the president. For them it’s all about theatrics and how much of a frenzy the president can whip with a twitter account, and nobody cares about policies. Biden’s administration is incredibly effective, they appoint people when they needed, they organise commissions when appropriate, they propose and support bills and legislations, you know, all the things that presidential administration is suppose to do, and apart from knee-jerk reaction on Israel issue, they were on the right side every time, and they fixed a lot of damage that previous guy made.
    But Biden isn’t a wanabe dictator that tries to rule around checks and balances to achieve loud social media headlines, so everyone calls him president asleep and waits for Trump but good (and I can’t stress enough how bad that would be actually)
