Obviously not, this question is weird to me - the entire world and geopolitical situation was different in the 80s and 90s, Biden isn't the only thing that changed over three to four decades ... @BadmanDan@lemmy.world what are your thoughts, why did you ask a question like this?
EDIT: nevermind, you seem to post other disturbing questions, I'm just going to block and move on.
whoa
thank you
correct, see for example the reactions to the US's decision to invade and seize territory from Mexico, which was largely seen as a betrayal of liberal values that the country was supposedly founded on. Don't worry, the US isn't the only country to justify their revolution with promises of liberal ideals like freedom and equality only to expose their true priorities later (namely giving local colonial elites more power than those ruling monarchs in Europe). I recommend reading the chapter on Bolivarian revolutions from the history book Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America for more about the disappointments and failures of liberal revolutions to live up to their promises.

ha, the logic is a bit wacky, but I can also see how maybe publishing a book like that might cause a moral panic that could result in regulatory action (and to be fair that's how the FDA was created, after Upton Sinclair's The Jungle resulted in a moral panic)
tl;dr
in Victorian times the author wanted to warn people about the arsenic in wallpaper and its dangers, so he published a book of wallpaper samples with arsenic that then itself poisoned and killed people who handled the book
then I would pay the $2 once to get access, then just grab all the links (they're just private youtube videos) of the tangent videos, and then unsubscribe π€·ββοΈ not the most ethical, but ... it's still technically feasible
it's only $2 to get access to all the Tangents, well worth it
Technology Connections is such a great youtube channel, thank you for sharing this link π
