Working in the field I do, I learned to not freak out. I'm still upset, but it's a controllable emotion.

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Come on, the reason Russia has "elections" and is a pseudo-democracy is because Putin murders all of his opponents. Trump did say that he will persecute his opponents just for opposing him, but that would trigger unrest among the people because Americans are not spineless little turds like Russians. So, he would need to be in an arms conflict with the democratic politicians and half of the US population. That would probably trigger the civil war.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I’d bet the Russian people weren’t spineless in the beginning.

There's an old joke that if the Soviet Union had had two Communist Parties then the communists would still be in power. Every few years the Blue Commies would change places with the Red Commies, and each party could aim their hate at the other, while the real power stayed the same. Larry Fink said a few days before the election that it didn't matter whether Trump or Harris won -- his shareholders would be well taken care of. Those are the people that the US government works for. Now that BlackRock and Vanguard are assured of getting all the profits from Ukraine's natural resources, the purpose of that war has been accomplished, and there's no reason to keep it going.
