That is why The Diamond Age has the Cyberpunk character die in the first chapter, where the possibility of even a dystopic freedom in the collapsing individualistic freefall of Social Democracy is crushed by the all-encompassing grasp of Capitalist society, which abhors the power Vacuum of 80s underground hacking.

In the Morrowind retrospectives, we actually have an example of the "undeath" of the author where they actively realised some mechanics weren't fun and actively kept them in because it fit the deep lore.

Can't see them doing that without at least having all the claimed territories and preferably having taken Kharkov. obviously a maximalist treaty would ask for Odessa but Putin would settle for the left bank of the Dneipr.

I know it turned public opinion against anarchism and was deadly to their movement.

But in the long run it weakened the perception of the royals as untouchable, and created space for Leninism to grow and succeed.

Which sucks because our anarchist comrades deserved a better go at things. But it's hard to see a 1917 without the death of Alexander II

My most retvrn opinion is that this guy should live in a time like that of the Italian Wars, when not greeting someone on the street is grounds for an immediate duel followed by a 200 year blood feud.

I hate so very fucking much that this had to be the single fucking thing the Trad Caths were right about.

"Unhinged drivel...The drive of capitalism will force initially compassionate Euthanasia increasingly down a path corrosive to the dignity of human life, much like abort...even more unhinged drivel"

Chevallier d'Eon. You'd think some leftist trans people would be fans but no. Super popular in Japan and has a live action musical triolgy with Rose of Versailles and Scarlet Pimpernel.

If he wasn't the dumbest man alive I'd want him to succeed just to hurt Peter Thiel.
