He's referring to the rise of "illiberal democracy" but you basically can't have liberalism without democracy

Depends on your definition of liberalism because some include democracy

A liberal society depends on a wide observance of individual freedoms and the reinforcement of bourgeois dictatorship. democracy is just a post hoc ratification.

it's not so much a Gawker spinoff as a The Root spinoff

and honestly I'd argue that The Root is somehow worse, like they repeatedly misgendered Scout Schulz and mocked their death because "another Becky died and the tragically melanin deficient had to go and cry about it"

Napoleon smashed centuries of aristocratic privilege across Europe, and even though the reactionary Coalition defeated him they never fully recovered from the French invasions as a class.

Caesar otoh conquered Gaul and then got immediately owned by a few dozen stabby bois

The Root does reviews of every episode of Game of Thrones, and in each one it argues that the Starks represent the black experience in America and that the other families are racist white people who don’t understand them.

I’ve read probably a dozen and have no idea whether it’s a joke or not.

The First Men fought a war with the native species to displace them until they had to defeat the Night King together and made a deal. They later got followed up by the Andals and whoever the Dornish were until the original natives are practically wiped out.
