Every incremental step along the way is immediately profitable. The thought process would be “Somebody will stop it from getting that far, and when THAT happens I’ll support the anti-authoritarian movement, but UNTIL then, all the other oligarchs are profiting from these incremental steps towards authoritarianism, and when the anti-authoritarianism kicks in there’ll be no further short-term profit opportunities to exploit so I don’t wanna be the only one who didn’t avail of them when they were available”.
Bystander effect/Nash equilibrium. Unless they’re ALL doing it, none of them want to be the ONLY sucker who’s forgoing short-term profit opportunities for the benefit of all. This is what government is supposed to enforce on them: forcing them ALL to support democracy.
If you wanna sell people on this idea, then phrasing it in a way that suggests it would make Europe more like America is pretty much the worst way to go about it.
That’s not lucky at all
I honestly have to wonder why civil war hasn’t broken out yet in the USA.
Like, I’m reminded of Calvin Candie saying “and it wouldn’t’ve taken me no fifty years to do it, neither”.
At this point it’s just a signature calling card. Like the Wet Bandits leaving all the taps running. Ensuring that everybody knows who did it, without officially claiming responsibility, is intended as a power move to remind everyone that Comrade Major is always listening so toe the line

Are either of those details true or are you just spreading misinformation for teh memez?
They already made one. His catchphrase was “You have failed this city”.
It’s a code that Chinese internet users use to refer to Xi Jinping. Or at least they used to. The CCP caught on and now that phrase gets auto deleted off of Chinese websites. “Tiananmen, Winnie the Pooh” proves I’m not a Chinese AI, and “8647, Luigi Mangione” proves I’m not an American one. I’m not really sure what would prove I’m not a Russian one. “Fuck Vladimir Putin”?
Is that the one where the Latinos have mutated and are heating up the planet?
Any time someone accuses me of being a bot I respond with “Tiananmen Winnie the Pooh 8647 Luigi Mangione” and that generally proves my humanity
The Deadly Desert!
Not to be confused with the Deadly Dessert.
None of the other countries of the world are going to risk making an enemy of America. Not so long as the American public makes it clear that more of them support Trump than don’t. Because right now, it seems like if Trump pressed the nuke button, nobody in a position to be able to stop him would be willing to do so.
Reign. Rein is the leather strap you use to steer a horse.
Yep. There was a “The Mark of Zorro” in 1920 with Douglas Fairbanks AND in 1940 with Tyrone Power.
There were versions of “The Count of Monte Cristo” in 1908, 1913, 1918, 1922, 1929, 1934, 1942, 1943, 1946, 1953, 1954, 1958, 1961, 1968, 1975, 1982, 1986, 1986, 1986 (yes, three versions in 86), 2002, and 2024… not counting the TV versions.
This is why code should be written to be library-agnostic. Or, rather, libraries should be written to a particular open source interface standard to make library agnosticism easier.
Audience scores are even more worthless than critic scores.
