An important thing to understand about revolutions is that regardless of theme and goal they offer no real guarantee of major overhaul of the--the institutional habits of a place.

When you hear of a post-revolutionary government engaging in brutal excesses of some kind, there's a very high chance that if you look closely, it will turn out to be a slight remix of the bullshit of the previous regime.

Easy one is the French Revolution, with its notorious spree of increasingly off-topic decapitations. Easy to center the social destabilization and lure of guillotine and so forth in interpreting this, but also.

The kings of France had for a long time been inordinately fond, even by the standards of medieval monarchs, of staging highly conspicuous mass executions of traitors, as an example to the rest.

The high-handed nationalization strategies of the soviet government and the speed with which Lenin pivoted to making war against his own peasants for withholding resources becomes perfectly legible when you place it in the context that imperial russia had been working on centralizing and modernizing the state via methods like 'nationalizing the serfs' (transferring increasing numbers of unfree farmers, which was a whole lot of them, to crown/state ownership and then leasing some of them out to large landholders for $$) for the past century or so; soviet rule reorganized a lot of things but didn't on some levels change the attitudes and patterns of how government related to the people that much at all, when you came down to it.

In post-Revolutionary Iran, the veil police roaming around oppressing women on the street becomes much less shocking and more predictable when you know that the Pahlavi shahs, in their modernization-by-fiat project, had the cops go around Tehran beating men who wore incorrect hats and stripping women who persisted in veiling to their underwear. In the street.

Very high statistical chance that your revolution will not come equipped with new tools for the exercise of power, or a whole new population of individuals with no preconceptions or habits to interpret and enact your policies, and will consequently tend to keep doing the same things slightly differently.

Anyone who doesn't understand how likely this is is especially unlikely to avoid it.

can we use nazilike to mean "wanting to exterminate jews" again and not just "something fascisty" please. the central concept of nazism that separates it from regular facism is its horrific antisemitism. nazism is a type of facism not the other way around

Hunter Biden says "fuck you" to people who are anti-immigration and declares that the next Democratic President should be willing to invade El Salvador to free immigrants sent to the CECOT super prison by Trump without trial

my favorite thing right now is how mad the official french language people are that parts of african languages are getting mixed into french

I know its probably not but the idea that superman 2025 and the batman take place in the same universe at similar times is so funny to me. All this weird shit is going on with aliens and pocket dimensions in metropolis and then like an hour away its serial killer twitch streamers and the saddest wettest emo boy

Saw someone mention the new Boston Dynamics' robot was introduced like a Souls boss. Was not expecting it to come out so creepy.

Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

“Zionist influencers should be treated just like IDF soldiers. Neutralization on sight. After the second or third one is found in a dumpster or at the bottom of a lake, the rest will silently disappear. Happy hunting.”

okay so, I don’t care how you feel about any of the people tagged in this (tbh I don’t know who any of them are apart from Jonathan Greenblatt), but this is unacceptable and is the exact type of rhetoric that leads to hate crimes like the firebombing in Boulder. it’s an open call to hunt down and murder Jews, hiding behind the mask of the z word. the fact that IG doesn’t think it goes against community standards to post incitement to murder people is outrageous but predictable.

tbh the ugly truth is unfortunately that at least nominally hummus belongs to the Ottoman Empire

People on TikTok (and possibly elsewhere) are saying Jews stole brisket, fucking *brisket* from Texans. Like a brisket is a cut of meat. I’m pretty sure Jews were eating it before Texas was like officially part of the U.S. and even then jewish brisket and Texas brisket are prepared differently!

These people are so fucking stupid

Hunter Biden going off also yet again proves Joe was right to pardon him, we would not have this if Hunter wasn't pardoned

Biden was 110% correct to not sacrifice his surviving son to vindictive Republicans, an ungrateful American populace, and the jackal MSM.
