It kinda works tbh. I could see that used in some dance song.

It could be hilarious to have those censored in some countries and turned into old timey expressions.

God fucking damn it! -> Great Googly Moogly!

What I am saying is that he may actually be one, but he pushes social democrat politics as progressive steps towards democratic socialism. Also probably by electoralism, to avoid scaring some voters.

Isn't it compatible with the democrat socialist philosophy of progressive change as opposed to a revolution?

You seem to be correct according to his Wikipedia pages, he describes himself as a democrat socialist (which is more anti-capitalist than social democrat), but also an admirer of Northern European social democracies, and certainly an opponent of neo-liberalism. I guess he would oppose communism in his vision of giving economical power to people through democratic worker unions and cooperatives, rather than having everything centralized by an authoritarian state.

As far as I know, they are social-democrats, full-left would be anti-capitalist or anarchist, which they are not.

I don't think they need to send people down or even complex sensors, they could use a similar dumb tactic, as above, of dragging something heavy for kilometers, until they can confirm that there was a disruption on the network.

Anduril, Palmer Luckey’s foray into military hardware and an ever-present surveillance state. Some of the first hardware they rolled out were surveillance towers for the US border patrol.

Same vibe as Palantir by Peter Thiel, big data analytics platform used by many defense/security organizations. Far right pseudo-libertarians love abusing Tolkien's lore, sadly.

For the big makers of pseudo-science based bullshit medicine, see Weleda (naturopathy, anthroposophy) and Boiron (homeopathy).

I don't think the hardest part would be teaching the difference between historical socialism and social democracy, as used in Europe. Social democrat parties in Europe are often just called the "Socialist Party" (ex: France, Spain, with recent elected country leaders) and nobody associates them with the Soviet Union.

And it was done with something no designed for this purpose. Why is it hard to conceive that a tool designed for it would do much better?

 
 

A woman, who was blamed by French courts for her divorce because she no longer had sex with her husband, has won an appeal in Europe's top human rights court, the court said on Thursday, reigniting a debate in France over women's rights.
...
[Lawyer, Lilia Mhissen] "This decision marks the abolition of the marital duty and the archaic, canonical vision of the family," she said in a statement. "Courts will finally stop interpreting French law through the lens of canon law and imposing on women the obligation to have sexual relations within marriage."

 

Also, Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay, leader of the quarian people in the Mass Effect games.

I just finished watching The Expanse, and I was looking up information to soothe the grief.
