I’m not aware of any estimates that the total number of migrants in the last four years has been that high. Most estimates seem to be 6-7 million including illegals.

I've pushed back against /r/neoliberal for being biased against conservatives and pushed back here against people here for being biased against liberals.

I have a few days off coming up, during which I'm not working, but also not traveling as I have other scheduled travel coming up.
What do you like to do when you have a few days off like that?

I am old and out of touch, so take this with the proper skepticism. Clearly you need to just not ask her out. If you run into her, get your hug, have a pleasant conversation, and let that be the end of it. Presumably she has your number etc.

My understanding is that a low level government worker who did what Trump did with classified documents would go to jail, but an important politician (e.g. Hillary, Joe Biden, Sandy Berger) likely wouldn't.

Those people don't handle classified documents on the regular.
How about a random politician?

Shogun 2 is probably my favorite of the historic games it's very different from the modern ones (single settlement, all factions have basically the same units, the economic model makes population explicit etc).

Bashir Gemayel’s assassination, maybe? Alexander III’s assassination definitely contributed to a communist revolution, albeit in an accelerationist way and not directly.
That’s of course ignoring Game of Thrones-style assassinations of family members to seize the throne; those are historically confined to certain circumstances(Macedonian monarchies, the Ottoman Empire, etc) but well represented in the historical record.

Imagine what the forum would look like if every progressive who flamed out and tearfully quit after losing an argument didn't do that.

Eh, it seems like most SJ types recognize a civil war puts them against the wall while a fascist regime takes power. There’s some resistance libs who crow about the military beating up gun owners but I don’t think they’re talking about a civil war. They have an insurrection in mind.
Why not say that instead of using a needlessly vague and conspiratorial sounding term?
