European "socialism" is a compromise wherein the population gets services and, in exchange, the rich are allowed to continue to exist. This compromise developed to save capitalism from the threat of the working class just rising up and just doing it all themselves. Revolutions, it turns out, can be dangerous and may be subverted. It's generally safer, so Europe's working class decided, to accept some exploitation in exchange for not taking that chance.
The the strategy of "point guns at everyone until they comply" was a sustainable strategy, all of Europe would still be absolute monarchies, feudalism would still be the dominant economic system globally, and England would still control most of the land on Earth. Recognizing that this *isn't* the state of the world should give some clues as to how well Yarvin's ideas continue will play out in the real world.

When Energy and Information Revolutions Meet 2D Janus
The depletion of energy sources, worsening environmental issues, and the quantum limitations of integrated circuits for information storage in the post-Moore era, are pressing global concerns. Fortunately, two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials, possessing broken spatial symmetry, with emerging pressure-dependent and non-linear optical response, piezoelectricity, valley polarization, Rashba spin splitting and more, have established a substantial platform for exploring and applying modifiable phys…

I recently had a glimpse of a facsimile of Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres). It's HUGE!
How was it even possible Kepler and Galileo could hide a thing that size from authorities? 😳

Modeling revolutions in networked societies: learning from the Tunisian spring
Economic competition and deregulation have led to a polarization of societies between a small, increasingly powerful elite and a majority of socially excluded individuals, marginalized and unconnected to political representations. This is the breeding ground for protest movements, relayed by local ties and amplified by social networks. Based on the characteristics revealed by socio-economic research into the Arab revolutions of the 2010s, this article proposes a formalization inspired by the th…

Unsolicited advice:
Planned events will not bring this down… you need to be louder, more spontaneous, and possibly start burning shit down, like the White House… that’s how revolutions take down Kings. Not planned performances.
