Also, think about what the choice of chanting "Death, death to the IDF" over "Jews", or even "Israeli" shows about the lack of antisemitism.

Literally soldiers who have signed up to fight and die and genocide civilians en masse.

Once white people are getting vanned for lack of patriotic fevour I'm sure Trumps ratings will increase, too.

Left vs. Right is literally Monarchists vs. Jacobins in the early days of the French Revolution.

That's an organic emergence and the terms since then have tried to map to that binary of traditional power vs. reorganisation of society.

British Petroleum and Dutch Royal Shell. BA&E while I'm at it. Military industrial burks.

Also, obligatory Nestlé, Wallmart, Tesco, and Meta.

My special one though is HSBC, because of all the conspiracy Charlie meme inducing reasons.

I didn't even mention the Second World War, because the first would've been different enough to make it having happened in a familiar form into unlikely.

On the one hand... First World War would've ended very differently.

On the other... Maybe eugenics would already be discredited by the 20s with how it went in Dixie.

Because it remained loyalist.

As for why... Probably due to more complex relations with American Indians and the French, and didn't have a new ruling elite in waiting to give it equal footing in an independent North America.

She was forced out by the banks after her and her friend's economic announcement tanked the pound on the currency markets overnight.

She showed no shame, and continues to rant and rave about the whole affair if anyone gives her half a chance.

She also flew out to the US to hitch her wagon to Trump's during the election campaign.

I'd hope its to convince the government of Israel to get rid of corrupt leader Netanyahu, and to work towards an equitable two state peace agreement with an independent Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza.

Or failing that, to convince people that unconditional support of the current Israeli government is bad, actually. Something many Israeli themselves believe (not to mention non-Israeli Jews).

They identified nouns and adjectives in prairie dog communication, that also seems to vary with regional dialects. I'll try to remember to dig up a source when I'm not out and about later.

Edit: here's a not fully scientific link, but has names and links for people who want to go deeper in the science while being a decent lay person's overview.

Yes, the blog name isn't very scientific looking (I have not read anything else on it). https://thehumanevolutionblog.com/2015/08/18/a-career-studying-the-sophisticated-vocabulary-of-prairie-dogs/

And here's a peer reviewed study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003347205801174
