corn in the bible posted:Il and Un have popular acclaim as the figurehead of the country; theres statues and posters of them everywhere. but apart from having lovely vanity films made or important expensive cars they probably don't get in the military's way -- they get the stability of a constant leader that a military coup would disrupt Yeah. How much "governing" does the NK regime actually do? There's the violent repression of all dissent, there's the importing massive amounts of Hennessy,, but it ain't like they're passing lots of new laws.

Lord knows they've gotten away with that in more "western-approved" military dictatorships in the past. There's even Jong-Il's Military First policies to base the changeover off of.

Actually Peak Politico would have been Mike Allen selling sponsorship spots for the astrologer and then asking them questions about US energy policy.

Why do people hate Guns Germs and Steel so much. I read it a few years ago and I'd paraphrase the theme of the book as "quirks of geology, climate and disease gave Europeans an overwhelming advantage which is how they came to dominate so much of the globe during the colonial era" but people talk about it like it's a pro eugenics treatise.

Its poo poo. That argument is poo poo. Europe had an advantage from Rome's people's assemblies, which due to random chance, continued in England and evolved into parliamentary democracy leading directly to America.

Ok I can see that as a counterargument but when I see crit of the book it's that the book is racist.
