Surely the only languages that are not weird are those specifically designed to be widely spoken?

And no-one wants to speak those!

It keeps the butter hard and useless?

"Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

So, yeah, looking at those examples I'd say we should try to prevent our opponets from going fascist.

If there's anything fascists are good at it's murdering lots and lots of people, so Id say we should stop them from gaining a following or try to remove their following if they already got one.

Easier said then done, but, to steal your words, doesn't mean it's impossible.

Yeah , but ...

In Paris we fought and were massacred.
In Korea/Manchuria we fought and were massacred.
In Ukraine we fought and were massacred.
And as you say in Spain we fought, but then we were massacred.

There's more of course, but you get the idea.

Something probably should be done differently in the future.

I think what's happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I'm sorry, but I don't think the people won back then.

Hopefully they are enough to disperse Russian anti-aircraft defences.

Heh. I used to run leafnode as my own, in house, single person server.

I'm quite surprised to find out it's still alive and maintained.

You make larger districts that elect more than one representative each.

Or at least that was how it was done here in Denmark.

You know, that's a good idea anyway.

I wonder though what that would mean for the copyright?
