Yea. Sorry, the conditions are MASSIVELY different. In every conceivable way. Populations, demographics, broken government systems, corruption, info wars being waged by forgien interests, literal trillions of dollars at stake.

Canada is awesome.. but it's a Podunk backwater with barely the population of a single state and a much much much more homogeneous population (especially in the 90s)

Everyone (large governments) on the planet is fighting over control of America. If Trump wins, the global fascist agenda kicks off and the whole planet goes with it. This is a historical inflection point.

The PCs loosing just meant they created new parties and came back a few years later. They all stayed rich and white.

If scientists had their way they'd have built the big one first. Or at least something reasonably larger than what they have.. it's politics that is capitalism and war that is the addiction preventing us from having nice things

If they started auctioning off and selling his properties to make money, it would turn over a lot of really dark stones full of other people's criminal activities.

He's being protected by the club he's in, not because they like him but because they would be in trouble if they didn't.

I think people are underestimating how important the YouTube thing is.

If they succeed, the entire ad funded internet are going to clone what they do.

It will effect everyone everywhere, whether you run an adblocker or not.

It will benefit the large corporations and choke out the smaller people. It will consolidate control and wealth.
