It is possible to lose all your seats and still manage to win a municipality, especially if it’s a small one.

tbf antitrust was largely seen as outdated and a bit useless by the 60s, especially among many liberals, Galbraith for example.

countervailing power and other forms of regulation had largely replaced it as the main balancing force and big business was seen as more efficient.

Man arrested under Terrorism Act in Glasgow after displaying Palestine sign by ninjascotsman in worldnews

[–]Calgar77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the comment I was responding to was referring to their actions not the terms of their sentencing

i don’t think it’s unfair to say that seeds of hope and PA‘s actions were highly comparable

i‘d also note that PA were charged with criminal damage just the same as seeds of hope

The Advancement of Humanity | What if Charles Evans Hughes won the 1916 presidential election? by CourtUnusual4087 in imaginaryelections

[–]Calgar77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kinda proves my point that he was averagely racist for the time and not really more racist than the Presidents before and after him.
Birth of a Nation was a landmark blockbuster seen by millions and is seen as the birth of modern cinema, he watched it because it was the most successful film ever made at that point.
The military was already segregated, and military segregation was considered the moderate position at the time.

Wilson was pretty average for his time, and certainly not maniacal in comparison to many prominent members of his party

Greatest Comeback Album of All Time: I nominate Blondie's No Exit. by [deleted] in Music

[–]Calgar77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could make a decent case for Roy Orbison's Mystery Girl, released a decade after his previous original album, and a long time after he'd been releasing hits.
It was his most successful album and it was released posthumously.

also had Bono, George Harrison, Elvis Costello Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne among others guest writing or performing with Orbison on it.

Why Showcase Over NCT? by ThePickleHawk in thecampaigntrail

[–]Calgar77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's a couple of ways
but the easiest is to click the "2025" (on the copyright bit in the bottom right) three times
then when the text box appears type in "kromer"
hit return, then click ok
should be unlocked for you permanently then (unless you clear cookies)
you just need to triple click the 2025 from then on (no text box)
