Waiting to see what comes out of Rozali Telbis Thought!

I'm not even going to read her Ghost colossal failure articles in order to avoid contamination...

P.S.: I realize that I was saving on words when writing the above comment so I understand the NM reply! Not saying that her articles are a colossal failure... never read them so I can't say anything about the quality.

Do you ever say anything nice to anyone, voza0db?

You should try it sometimes. It dramatically increases your chances of getting laid.

Even though it's a moronic advice "saying nice things in order to try to fuck around", yes I enjoyed that one because it made me laugh. And laughing is nice...

You just made my day, O great voza0db. My purpose in life is to bring our most loyal fan joy and pleasure. I only wish I could somehow reach through the fibreoptic cables connecting us and sexually pleasure you too.

You need to address that sexual Unbalance that you're existing with...

If I'm "the most loyal fan" you guys/gals are fucked!

I'm just using her own words!

"I have a blog on Ghost and it’s been an admitted colossal failure"

As for the fucking part... No need for such.

Howard Zinn, the American historian, likely meant that even enormous and seemingly strong systems, like authoritarian regimes or oppressive governments, can fall apart or break down relatively quickly. He wasn't explicitly calling out certain regimes such as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, but he was making a broader point about how these kinds of systems can be surprisingly fragile.

What Zinn was getting at is that throughout history, various oppressive systems and authoritarian governments have eventually faced resistance, internal disagreements, or pressure from external sources that led to their collapse. These systems might seem stable and powerful, but they can unravel or crumble when challenged by mass movements, public outcry, international pressure, economic issues, or changes in popular opinion.

In simpler terms, Zinn's perspective emphasizes that political and social systems are dynamic. It suggests that even the most deeply rooted powers can be susceptible to change and collapse under the right circumstances.
