The mark never regrets - or admits - being taken by a grifter ... at least, not until they lose everything.

They're willing to accept harm to themselves (and blame it on libruhls) as long as they believe someone else is suffering more. And il Duce doesn't make mistakes (and, I know, that's not how you spell douchebag)

Dioxin. Yushchenko was just a candidate 2004 but did get elected after surviving the assassination attempt and massive voter fraud by the pro-Russian opponent

Have you considered the possibility that you actually don't have an argument? (Honestly, a rhetorical question)

Sorry, how long did you think about this one? Because it doesn't sound like it was much longer than a millisecond. It's a good idea to pause before jumping into conspiracy theories with both feet.

There's no such thing as 'unfiltered free speech. An individual might have unfiltered free speech but a community cannot, as his absolute right would be achieved through suppression of rights of others. Moderator's goal should be balancing individual rights, not policing language.

The last one is an instance of (1+...+n)^2=1^3+...±n^3

Any square of a number [k5] can be written as [k(k+1)] appended by 25. So, for 75^2 get 7*8=56, and 75^2=5625. The algebra is quite simple for this instance, unlike the other one, which is usually proved by induction.

It really *isn't* that simple. Overthrow doesn't come in an instant. Repression is far more effective than people in a nominal democracy realize. And definition of dictatorship is not stable. Just check this video.

Of course, with your pedigree, you should immediately start worrying what comes next. This is clearly not the most stable part of the world. They've now emptied prisons. Will they fill them with different political prisoners? Will they go democratic or theocratic? Civilian or military-style rule?
