Euergetes [none/use name]

My finals are done. We had a few trials on the way. but we turned in something for every class. thats better than a zero

A+ Caesar, instrumental in creating the meritocratic bureaucracy of the Dominate.

i got the serious runs the other day but i overcame them and the anglosaxie hegemony of the medical field through the application of a shitton of curry

they were defeated, simple as.

how do they put an apparatus in the military? especially a comprador one?

the PKK existed 3 decades before the civil war come on

serious question, we always say ‘x elected official’ ought to purge and appoint loyalists, and yeah as general advice its cogent but irl?

who are you putting in charge of militaries and police that can be relied on and can command their subordinates’ loyalty? unless there’s a military-led coup ot seems difficult to find personnel that could actually do this.

tldr i don’t think Allende and other electorally empoweref leftists have a very good opportunity to protect against reaction.

the only counterexample i know about was the Spanish Republic and the socialists infiltrated the police forces for years prior to the civil war. and they lost anyway.

a pox upon them. the kind iron duke did not go far enough

canned peas as sub for broth yea or neigh

its nice when regional sterotypes are so easily identifiable, in the US it can take half a conversation before you get to make fun of where they’re from

bruh roman empire names are fucking awesome, everyone knows 212, everyone became a citizen but everyone was renamed too. after the emperor. most regime pilled shit you ever heard

and after constantine, my fucking guy constantine–everyone in the civil and military service is Flavius. hell yeah

DC just sucks and nobody wanted parades there, Civil War, WW1, WW2 victory parades happened in New York (and smaller local ones regionally). countries whose capitals weren’t negotiated as ransom from slaveholders put their civil and military institutions in one of the large prestigious cities where frequent military parades can draw crowds and look respectable.

i mean there are other more durable ways but i’d be shocked if any country didn’t have more asphalt paving than other road types. it’s comparitively cheap and easy

i support this. i just treat hexbear like a place where everyone is a jaded activist already so i’m less concerned with the public-facing shit.

some hexbeariens are new though, so your approach is still instructive and valuable

i expect it would look like how the US murdered most the indigenous population of the west coast without federal military aid, just deputized bands of genocidal crackers killing the people that lived there for bounties

i don’t think most people have the energy to plot a rambo standoff with paramilitaries, who don’t generally announce what they’re doing in advance.

i’m not shittalking resistance, i promise, but we cannot expect people to spontaneously develop a consciousness and militancy, even in extreme conditions. that’s what organizing is for

norms-pilled just means the a focus on the forms of democracy to a neglect of the material situation–the constitutional/legal violations of jackson and trump are the same, but the latter has much more actual power.

but yes jackson planted the seeds, I think some of those fascists doing unitary executive theory use his example.

nullification is interesting because the prevailing interpretation is that Jackson avoided a civil war by his conduct, and whatever the man actually thought he was constrained by a political reality of the feds being weaker than states. Could 2,000 regulars have taken Charleston? yeah. could those 2,000 defeat NC, GA, whoever else decided the response to SC was an overreach? Mind the North did not like Jackson so much as Lincoln.

His naval solution to the Nullification, and the gracious settlement after was a very adept way to handle it while avoiding escalation

this is a norms-pilled analysis, the material strength of the players was very different in that period. if states had actually opposed Jackson he’d have been fucked, the federals didn’t have the strength to militarily overwhelm even one state, but none of the state governments, especially those concerned with the ruling, cared to.

by the time of bush (and this had been the case since truman or thereabouts), the federal government, and executive office had assumed absolute soverignty.
