You are supposed to have bad takes and this is a good take.

'Inappropriate' for liberals is like 'deeply unserious' for us.

Heartache is powerful, but democracy is subtle. Incrementally, you begin to notice a change in the weather. When it snows, the flakes are softer when they stick to your worry-worn forehead. When it rains, the rain is warmer. Democracy is coming to the Administrative Region. The ideals of Dolorian humanism are reinstating themselves. How can they not? These are the ideals of the Coalition and the Moralist International. Those guys are signal blue. And they're not only good -- they're also powerful. What will it be like, once their nuanced plans have been realized?

The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Ancaps aren't against violence, they are just against monopoly on violence.

Russian peasants also owned their land post-1861, but their plots were just so small (peasants called the smallest guaranteed allotment кошачий надел - 'cat's allotment', because it was enough to feed a cat) that it was barely enough to survive, so they called for the land reform and partitioning the land held by noble landowners.

The amount of store manager positions is always an order of magnitude less then the lowest level jobs. 90% of people would not be promoted, because there simply isn't any positions to be promoted to.

No, most people in 1903 lived not that much differently from the Medieval times. Urbanization was still low then. An average person from 1969 would adapt to 2025 much faster then an average person from 1903 to 1969.

My favourite thing is when liberals think they invented some new thing and turns out it already was dunked on by communists a century ago.

I'd defend their decision, because it is very human to keep working, because all their friends work there too.

Is it greater than the propensity to bootlick Western Europeans?

It is possible, but it would not be long-lasting, and there is a high probability of a new revolution (just like historical July Monarchy, which lasted for 18 years).

I'm not saying literal monarchy, but similar uneasy compromise with "accepting the revolution of the past" made by reactionaries to stave off a new revolution.
