Lordon has kind of a similar ideology to Amber but without the dumb takes, if you catch my drift. I remember reading a gloriously vitriolic article of his in the Diplo about the disconnect between workers and middle-class liberals on the issue of the EU.

My serious prediction is that Biden will get a clear win in the final count, and Trump will claim victory but not actually be able to back it up (Matt Bevin style) because it won’t be close enough to pull the 2000 routine. There will be some incidents of violence by Trump supporters, but nothing earth-shaking. Trump will have to leave office, and will at most face some fines, but will not go to jail.

Courts stealing it is definitely a possibility, but not the most likely one IMO. If they did, then that’s more or less an event horizon; the situation is much more tense than 2000, and there could be serious repercussions.

Eric Trump valiantly brings soda to his brother

In the customary free tap water cup, I presume.

Trump would have to sign it or he’d look bad.

is this a bit

Well obviously there’s the classics, like On Liberty, The Social Contract, or Reflections on the Revolution in France.

Yeah, I don’t get it for the most part. I do understand watching professionals at the highest level of competitive games, or maybe a LP of a game that you can’t play yourself for some reason. I don’t really get the whole youtuber phenomenon either. I mean, I use youtube, but only ever to search for a specific thing I have in mind. Then again, I had no interest in podcasts either until a friend introduced me to chapo.

Translation, please?

I knew that Abiy had split with the Tigrays and was moving away from federalism, but what happened?

Very very nominally. They were originally Hoxhaist, as their state opponent was a Moscow-aligned Communist regime. They won in 1990 or so and immediately dropped Communism, as was the global trend. They were in power for like 25 years and obviously didn’t govern as socialists during that time.

I believe so. The Tigray section split from the larger party at the time when Abiy made peace with Eritrea. Eritrea is plurality Tigray (though Eritreans have a civic nationalist identity not based on ethnicity), and unless I’m mistaken the Tigray party is more attached to irredentist claims on Eritrea, and didn’t like backing down from them.
