I am glad you're keeping your cool. Many people lose their heads when the unexpected wins over the deadly stagnation and routine enforced by complacency and the status quo...

god forbid we have stability

DEADLY STABILITY

DEADLY STABILITY

it's deadly because we know what's coming!

[AsGryffynn]

Yes, bless stability for those who can pay for it! Bless stability for those who benefit from it... at the expense of others...

Whatever keeps your hands full or tied to the point your country losses all semblance of expeditionary power (or refuses to look at other countries and pass judgment) is all, in the long term better. The days of "exporting democracy" no longer remain.

Like a computer, some countries just don't support it.

Also, I am now convinced the Telegraph is the newspaper counterpart to the favorite news source of anyone who refuses to acknowledge bias (read, the BBC).

Sure, because as everyone knows, turmoil isn't a great enabler for those who want to predate on others.

History has shown that stability means money may flow from the top percentages to the vast majority of the population but once problems occur money tends to concentrate even more up to the point a civil war or something equally devastating occurs which might improve things if the country was bad enough but for most isn't the case.

You can see this very clearly in the past two decades. Up to a decade ago overall growth was occurring and by and large people benefited from it. From a decade ago the money in the top has increased in both absolute and relative levels to the detriment of the vast majority of people with no end in sight. Out of the world's biggest economies currently I understand Brazil, United Kingdom and United States are actively supporting that trend but not sure about the others since they aren't as blatant and I am not paying attention enough to understand the ramifications of the decisions being made as pertains to the unique set of circumstances each country has.

it's funny how republicans only care about privacy until they can make money off taking it away

.....What exactly are you advocating for here?

That everything collapse into anarchy and we all try to kill each other?

Or is it just attempting to mock people for daring to want peaceful lives?

Cause I'm​ mostly reading the latter

IDK, it mostly reads like a 'haha have a taste of the suffering of the countries that aren't peaceful so you can be punished for thinking that life could be enjoyable" to me

Kinda a reverse 'the rising tide lifts all boats'

Obviously the answer is to start an ad agency for the sole purpose of buying up all their personal information from their ISPs and releasing it all to the public.
