Zero history or deliberate CIA op?

I doubt Steinam is personally banging out tweets. But I would have said the same thing about Elon Musk, and he's so poisoned he got the damned Twitter injected directly into his brain.

We export $55B in automotive cars and parts annually. If China gets a foothold in Mexico or starts dominating markets in Europe or Indonesia or India, the Americans are in for a lot of pain long term.

There's also a demoralizing effect of foreign countries having better cars than the states. Japan really fucked the American psyche with Toyota's global dominance.

Gaston literally vibrating from that much coffee. Amazed he could hit the side of a barn, much less all that big game.

What Zero History does to a motherfucker.

When you scramble this many ghouls to check every single detail of a person's life history, you can make even the most well-adjusted person seem like a complete fringe lunatic.

Or just drag the truth out like taffy - a visit to a music festival becomes "attended orgies regularly" while enrollment in a university becomes "taught by Marxist professors". Or outright lie.

This is a concerted effort to make this guy seem as deranged as possible

Curious to see they've lost all the pictures of him in a military uniform. I've never seen the media describe a soldier's death with so few pictures in full dress.

Its so fucking bizarre to see the bylines get longer and longer as the content gets more and more formulaic.

What is this? Author, Editor, and Commissar?

Love to show up to order a food and see "$1.75" change to "$2.95" as my finger hovers over the "buy" button.

I think they need to take this to the next level and make every purchase order one of those penny-auctions, where you pay $.25 to bid on something that starts at $0.01 and has an army of bot-straw-purchasers bidding up the price every time you place an order.

Absent a brief interlude during the First Spanish Republic, Spain was a monarchy until the 1930s. Even in the wake of King Alfonso XIII's deposition, the country enjoyed a large body of royalist supporters (the Spanish Carlists) who advocated a return to the Bourbon Dynasty.

Opposite the Carlists, Spain enjoyed a large and flourishing anarchist movement along with a nascent but growing communist movement. These two groups were in an on-again-off-again relationship, relative to the politics of the period and who was currently in charge of the national government.

A third branch of political activists, composed primarily of the military and religious orders (which was substantial in the early 20th century), was neither wedded to a return of the monarchy nor in favor of the nationalization/communalization of the large Spanish agricultural estates. They were Nationalists - one might even go so far as to call them National Socialists - who advocated for formal military domination of the economic order of the state.

The military order granted some degree of social mobility that did not exist under the Bourbon Dynasty, as the Franco Dictatorship was largely a product of overseas colonial expeditions full of junior officers who had returned to the peninsula. However, they were not in any way aligned with the civilian proletariat, instead demanding service within the military/bureaucracy as a gateway to the labor aristocracy / petite bourgeoisie subclass that comprised the modern liberal establishment.

The rigid hierarchy with ranked social mobility was the middle ground between Dynastic Rule and Proletariat Dictatorship. It released the pressures built up within the proletariat class by presenting an outlet in the form of re-occupation of colonial territory. However, it only permitted a fraction of the overall population - particularly the young, male population most prone to restive revolutionary tendency - to participate and only within the strict confines of the military bureaucracy.
