The last letter stands for hope in the superhero world.

Barbaric country that happen to be rich.

Entire point, wnd the key to understanding the BvS is that batman is broken in it. He's not the hero in the story.

That's exactlyn the risk with violent ones. They make it easier to paint you as extremist or unreasonable radical. The big part of the effecivness of the non-violent one is that they are more sucesful at making people deflect to the right side.

I'm honestly not sure about this 3.5% number anymore - there are a lot somewhat subjective qualifiers there. But the point is that the study was conducted based on protest in both democratic and authoritarian regimes. And - all over the board - the non-violent movements were noticeably more sucesful sucesful than violent one. Yes, idea that 3.5% means guaranteed success is wrong. But solution to protest being squashed ramians the same - more protests.

I belive word "democracy" modyfies word "movement" here. Not the country where moment happen.

I would ask what's wrong with BBC, but I don't want to get into that. This study is the source study: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240678278_Why_Civil_Resistance_Works_The_Strategic_Logic_of_Nonviolent_Conflict

I think it was based on over 320 cases from 1900-2006.

Belarus is a hard case, since the meeting the goal depending on the estimates, and this varies a lot. But you could be right. The Bahraini uprising is more clear-cut exception to that rule. So fair enough.

But still the opinion that large sustained protest are ineffective is less evidence based that stance that they are effective.

No democracy movement has ever failed when it was able to mobilize at least 3.5 percent of the population to protest over a sustained period.

The answers to protest failing seems to be more protests.

No if you have anti-trust law. In Europe state stopping someone from becoming to big is very normal. Do you remember that Microsoft was at risk of being forcebly splited into multiple companies over Internet Explorer being preinstaled? US just foritted those very needed state rights. There are plenty of capitalist that agree that regulations are needed. Some probleme are to big, and only state can fix them. No sain person is trying to fix global warning by deregulations. That's preaty much a prevailing opinion everywhere... outside US. But what's in US it's not capitalism. It's not even a rule of law at the moment it would seem.

I think it's a false dyhotomy. I think that "system" is a structured atrmpt to solve social problems - some of those are more efficiently solved by individuals and competotions, some are more efficiently solved by collective effort and collaboration. The dissaggreement between people about which system is better is mostly a categorization of those problem - if you believe almost non are in the first category. But it is a spectrum. Society with overwelmingly capitalist economy, strong social werfare and hard rules that prevents police from killing thieves over food, are not impossible. Those describe most European countries. I feel like people are taking what's broken in US and and point to it saying "this is capitalism". I don't believe it is. I think it's mostly lawlessness and the lack of rule of law. I think capitatalism at it best make most aggressive and predotory tactic both ilegal and inefficient. We just don't see a lot of capitalism at it's best recently.

hmm, so having or not having kids have impact on your sence of workplace community during remote work?

Does it add up to you?

Here's the thing: I don't care. I really don't. If US can't find some way to deal with this USA, is not a rule of law country. It's not civilized country. It's not western country. At least 3 out of 3 in best case scenario. Either "the people" are not in charge, or they are immoral. Every day Trump is in the white house, USA is loosing is legitimacy as first word country. I don't care about what could be the way to stop it. The peope - the suverain - should find the way. The People either are in charge, or they are under occupation. And both cases are disgusting.
