@MattBlagg We overestimate the variance live since it's long & slow.
I feel online it would take 2-3 bad beats to tilt me on avg compared to just one in live.
Let’s start with just two examples: Mussolini and Hitler.
In December 1922, Mussolini launched a major restructuring and privatization spree, aiming to reduce the size and reach of government institutions.
He began to roll back government institutions from Italy’s rural regions, leaving farmers under the control of major agricultural concerns.
He then privatized huge swathes of the economy, from the post office to telephone companies. Profits ballooned, as did inefficiencies. The trains did not run on time.
At the start of 2023, Mussolini went after rent-controls, arguing that they stood as an obstacle to housing construction. He dismantled tenant unions, who opposed his reforms.
Hitler, having received backing from Germany’s major industrialists and oligarchs, took these policies even further.
In 1934, he embarked on a major privatization agenda: the railways, public banks, public works projects, construction agencies, and steel plants would be turned over to private hands.
Hitler implemented a profit guarantee and launched a major deregulation plan, eliminating rules on minimum wages and minimum working conditions. He cut aid to the homeless and then dispatched them to concentration camps.
Since these measures were opposed by unionists, Hitler sent his thugs to brutalize them. Union leaders, too, often ended up in the camps.
The fiercest opponents of these measures — the communists, who wanted to see the means of production in workers’ hands — were the primary targets. That is why the famous poem begins with the words: “First, they came for the communists.”
Much of this is freely available and amply evidenced in the transcripts of the Nuremberg Trials. At its most basic, fascism arises when the profit motive quashes the public good.
@MattBlagg Limp calling 3 & 4 bets OOP. Check Calling the raiser all the way and showing KKs in the end saying I was sure you had AAs.
I've seen this shit happen way too often for my own sanity.
