Where was the celebration of it?
A sitting Republican senator initially reacted to it by posting "This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way" and "Nightmare on Waltz street".

How much of the cartel operating logic is "specifically sell drugs for profit" and how much is "sell contraband and do other criminal stuff for profit"?

Reminds me of this definitive encapsulation of Finnish cinema.

I'm reminded of the Monkey Dust "Jerry Brickhammer" parody of a fictional Hollywood production of Diary of Anne Frank with all the Nazis as Englishmen and the Jews as literally Irish, but it seems to have disappeared from the Internet along with a lot of other Monkey Dust material.

Who prevented Russia from gobbling up India in their southward push through Central Asia in the 19th century?
Doesn't seem like a very likely thing to happen tbh. Russia was unable to gobble up Turkey despite a constant desire to do so, operating through Central Asia would have been a logistical nightmare. Sure, the British ruled India with a skeleton crew, but they operated from the sea, not through the land.
Isn't the modern understanding that the whole "Great Game" narrative was mistaken anyway and that the Russian ambitions regarding Afghanistan or lands to the south of it were rather more modest than what was presented by the British propaganda?

I haven't seen The Patriot, but isn't the way the British are portrayed in that movie similar?

Oodles and oodles of SMS groups, chats, Discords, Slacks, FB groups etc with partly overlapping membership bases. Information on changing preferences can move very fast with reinforcement from multiple sources at the same time.

Might have a Muslim father but still have been raised as at least a nominal Christian. It happens in the Balkans, Zlatan Ibrahimovic was raised as a nominal Catholic despite having "Ibrahim" in last name.
Ali is also a name in various non-Islamic cultures, generally short for Alexander.

Most people will probably be indifferent towards most strangers they see at the gym, unless they're hogging the weights they were planning to use or otherwise causing issues.

So there you have it- no plans, no budget, no orders; instead it was "mind-reading" by lower-level officers. This is the mainstream position which has emerged due to the inabilitiy of mainstream historians to find any documents substantiating their characterization of German policy in this respect.
How does this differ from the mainstream position on how the Great Purge, Holodomor, the Cultural Revolution, Great Leap Forward and similar Communist atrocities happened?

However one slices the events at Maidan, they represented mostly an internal event (the impetus for change came from forces in Ukraine moreso than the West) until the invasion of Crimea made it fundamentally a war between nations.
The issue is that Russians aren't Hajnali liberals with their cuck fetish of getting shafted due to the fear of being seen as improper.
If we were to assume it was the West that toppled the Yanuk government, this sentence becomes faintly ironic - what, the West should have accepted getting shafted (ie not have the association agreement signed, Ukraine moving closer to the Russian camp etc.) due to the fear of being seen as improper?

Russia started the war with the invasion of Crimea (an action which, all claims to contrary, involved clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces and thus clearly constitutes an offensive invasion of a sovereign state's territory), and the war was then escalated with the filibuster action in Eastern Ukraine by Strelkov and co, without which the protests in Eastern Ukraine would in all likelihood not have escalated to the status of military action.

Additionally and even more to the point, when we are talking about Britain and France signing the Munich Agreement - the crucial party when analyzing their further actions regarding Poland - would one even remotely assume that the events coming after the signing of Munich Agreement vis-a-vis Czechoslovakia were what they expected and hoped for?

The Munich Agreement rested on the idea that the cessation of Sudetenland would be followed by no further German aggression against Czechoslovakia. It was then followed by further German aggression against Czechoslovakia.

Shouldn't this speculation take into account the immediate preceeding events, ie. Germany and Czechoslovakia making precisely such an agreement to avert war with Western backing and Germany then proceeding to violate that agreement in the most flagrant of manners?

Whether the shooter conceived of themselves as trans at the moment of shooting seems to be rather complicated.

The point being moreso the "by an underaged girl" part than "video showing yourself being threatened with an axe and a knife" part.

Okay, but paying for what purpose? What's the exact business case for a video showing yourself being threatened with an axe and a knife by an underaged girl?
You're right, I misread the Marxist comment.
