yeah its called capital accumulation, here's how it works:

A cabal of international rich people don't want to pay taxes on their enormous wealth so they're spending some of their money to prop up nazis, religious freaks, and insane conspiracy theorists to drown out common sense economic policy and pin the blame on minorities and a departure from religious orthodoxy.

Obviously persecuting people on these grounds makes the situation worse and people don't want to be the next scapegoat so they fall in line (face eating leopard logic, etc.) but because we're removing the most exploitable workers from the economy the economy spirals, creating the need for more scapegoats. Fascism in a nutshell.

In the long term its self destructive to every society that allows it but in the short term they get another hour of power.

Given that mimikyu is ghost/fairy and mawhile is fairy, my guess is that a duck mimic pokemon based off this would probably be Grass/fairy

That's the beauty of evolution, it doesn't need to. In fact the critters determining the shape of the orchids are probably whatever is pollenating it. I assume those are "duck chest bursting bees" or something similar.

Doubt they're going to rehire Barr after he refused to fuck around with the elections, but good point.

breaking up giant corps is how you keep capitalism running.

This is why I'm excited to vote for a democrat. Does anyone think Trump wants to pursue all these cases? Nah. First thing he'll shut down is everything that might save us a dollar.

with the amount of money being spent to woo swing state voters I feel like being an "undecided voter" is some kind of career at this point

I'd like to see what drugs the original poster is on when making a post.

I'm thinking of things like heliocentrism where there was some modern discovery or revelation by science that invalidated a common assumption prior.

My understanding is that flat earth is more a recent phenomena but I'd love to hear some ancient ideas people now miss. Did people think trees weren't alive? Did people think evaporation was where things simply disappeared?

I'd would love to hear these ideas.
