When autocratization is reversed: episodes of U-Turns since 1900

The world is in a “wave of autocratization.” Yet, recent events in Brazil, the Maldives, and Zambia demonstrate that autocratization can be halted and reversed. This article introduces “U-Turn” as ...

Know what keeps me going? The U-Turn.

MOST countries in the last 100 years (esp. the last 30) that slide towards authoritarianism swing back the other way *with a vengeance*.

I believe that is possible here.

We just have to work to make it *likely*.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

It’s heavy, but I refuse to call it crushing. Crushing implies finality. I am never done. I will never be done. I’ve written two good books (and, like, three shitty ones) that deserve t…

Literally any store, brand, reastaurant, shop, or company that does not end in "S".

When they say "rip-off degree" they mean any degree that doesn't turn you into an obedient shit shoveller.

Stick to coding, worker bee - the big picture isn't for you. Don't worry your pretty little head with complicated things. Go buy baubles and rejoice in the praise of your betters.

I want to be playing bass. I want to be fixing up my old guitar. I want to do dungeon crafting. I want to paint minis. I want to write. But I can't because I have COVID and I need to lie down. Because of robert fucking kennedy.

COVID War Journal day 8: fuck this is *lingering*. Every day is one gruelling step forward and a half step back. Undeniably better every day but actual "wellness" seems beyond the horizon. So glad I'm not vaxxed since of course...

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.
