A Republic In Name Only: How Republics End Without Officially Dying
“A republic has a longer life and a greater stability than a principality, because it can adapt itself better to the diversity of circumstances.”
— Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527), Discourses on Livy, Book III, Chapter 9
————————————————————
🧵1/7: When President Donald Trump shared images purporting to show Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro in U.S. custody, the moment carried a warning larger than the image itself. It suggested a form of power that no longer waits for law, deliberation, or institutional consent to act.
History offers a name for this condition.
Republics do not always collapse when authority escapes their institutions. Sometimes they endure—courts speaking, legislatures meeting, elections proceeding—long after the rule of law has become ceremonial, and power has learned to operate beyond it.

2/7: When President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social images purporting to show Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, in U.S. custody—eyes and ears covered, the scene framed as a completed capture—they functioned less as information than as proof. They did not explain a process, establish jurisdiction, or argue a case. They presented domination as already accomplished.
Whatever their factual or procedural status, their purpose was unmistakable: not to persuade, but to render authority legible by staging power as a visible fact.
What mattered was not accuracy but effectiveness. The image was not governance on display, but power performing itself. Its audience was domestic. Its message was simple and old: authority works, enemies can be subdued, and strength can be condensed into a single, graspable scene. Complexity disappeared. What remained was the assurance of capacity: we did this; we could do it again.
This instinct—to convert domination into visibility—is not a modern invention. It is a political technology that predates mass media and survives every change in communications infrastructure. Wherever republics hollow without collapsing, authority learns to announce itself not through deliberation or law, but through scenes that present outcomes as settled before any institution is asked to speak.
Rome understood this logic long before algorithms or feeds. It learned that domination no longer requires persuasion once it can be seen, and that a single image of subjugation can do the work of a thousand arguments. The ancient world had no screens, but it had crowds—and Rome knew how to feed them.
When Julius Caesar defeated the Gauls, he paraded their leader, Vercingetorix, through Rome in chains before executing him as the culminating note of a triumph. It is difficult, from a modern distance, to reconstruct what that meant to a Roman crowd. It was not a policy debate. It was not even an argument. It was proof. A conquered man made visible is a conquered future made believable.

3/7: Caesar’s conquest did not weaken Rome economically—it flooded the state with wealth—but it broke the Republic by concentrating military loyalty, money, and legitimacy in one man. Even if the damage was not immediate, Gaul marked the point at which Rome learned that unchecked victory made republican governance structurally untenable. A republic can survive mediocre leaders and routine corruption. It cannot survive a permanent engine that manufactures men larger than the state itself.
This is the first mechanism by which republics end without ending: the slow displacement of institutional legitimacy by personal legitimacy, until the institutions remain—named, staffed, ritualized—while the decisions that matter migrate elsewhere. This transfer of authority away from offices and toward individuals is the central dynamic of republican erosion: legitimacy migration.
Modern readers sometimes imagine propaganda as a uniquely contemporary disease, a byproduct of mass literacy, broadcast networks, or algorithmic feeds. Rome had none of these, but it had public space, rumor networks, and a political culture that treated visibility as authority. Pompeii’s surviving walls make this plain—electoral notices, endorsements, insults, rivalries—politics on plaster, as recognizable as any modern comment thread.
The triumph converted violence into legitimacy. It taught the public what power looked like, who possessed it, and what obedience should feel like. It was governance by demonstration: not persuasion, but registration.
What Caesar learned in Gaul was not merely how to conquer territory, but how victory itself could relocate legitimacy away from institutions and into the hands of the man who delivered it. And once legitimacy migrates, it does not easily return.
By the time Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, the Roman Republic was already structurally hollow. Decades of civil war, elite paralysis, and widening inequality had eroded trust in senatorial governance. Caesar’s conquests had concentrated military loyalty, wealth, and legitimacy in a single individual, and his murder removed the man without restoring the institutions his rise had eclipsed. The Senate could eliminate Caesar. It could not retrieve the authority that had already slipped from its grasp.
That failure mattered more than the murder itself.
The conspirators believed that removing Caesar would restore the Republic—that the system, once relieved of a tyrant, would reassert itself through custom, law, and precedent. What they failed to grasp was that Caesar had not overthrown the Republic so much as exposed its incapacity. Killing him did not reverse that exposure. It made it undeniable.
Caesar remained widely popular even as he dismantled republican norms. To Romans exhausted by corruption, debt, and instability, he appeared less as a destroyer of institutions than as their corrective.
He delivered land to veterans, relief to debtors, visible results to the urban poor, and victory to a society that equated conquest with greatness. Constitutional erosion mattered less than outcomes that could be seen and felt. What the Senate experienced as the collapse of republican governance, many Romans experienced as the restoration of order and pride.
Institutions fail first.
Legitimacy erodes second.
Power consolidates only afterward.
The error of the conspirators was to treat Caesar as the cause rather than the consequence of institutional failure. Once legitimacy had migrated to a single figure, removing that figure could not return it to the Senate. It could only reveal how little authority the institutions retained.
The aftermath confirmed the mistake. Rome did not rally around the Senate. It fragmented. Violence resumed. Alliances hardened. The vacuum left by Caesar’s death did not invite restoration; it invited competition. Power, once personalized, does not depersonalize itself voluntarily.
In the years following the assassination, Rome entered a brief and illusory interregnum. Mark Antony—Caesar’s closest political ally—and Octavian—his adopted heir—initially feared a decisive response from the assassins. When none came, they turned instead on those they believed threatened them. The result was not a return to republican deliberation but the Second Triumvirate: a legally sanctioned regime of violence that deployed proscriptions—state-approved political killings paired with mass confiscation of property.
Terror was not an aberration. It was a tool, normalized through law.
The Republic still existed on paper. Magistracies were filled. Laws were passed. Rituals continued. But authority no longer flowed from deliberation. It flowed from force, and from the promise of protection against that force. The institutions had become a shell—still standing, still named, still ritualized, but no longer sovereign.
The question after Caesar was no longer whether the Republic could be restored. It was who would learn to rule a system whose authority had already migrated beyond its forms.

Yemen 🇾🇪: South Arabia's Independence, the Saudi-UAE War, Anti-Houthi Bombardments
It had been on hiatus for several years, but the war in Yemen has resumed, within the Arab coalition.
In early December, the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a pro-Emirati southern militia, launched a lightning offensive across southern Yemen. On January 2nd, the STC announced the start of the South Arabian independence process. At the same time, supported by significant Saudi reinforcements, the Yemeni National Army and pro-Saudi militias regained control of a large portion of the country that had fallen to the separatists, aided by an anti-Emirati coalition blockade in the Arabian Sea and substantial airstrikes.
In response, the United Arab Emirates withdrew its forces from Yemen, while tensions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE are escalating, particularly in Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia, where Abu Dhabi's pro-separatist stance is causing discontent.
For their part, the Houthi rebels have ceased their attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden, although their movements are still being monitored by Israel, which regularly bombs them.

Los romanos lo registraban todo, desde cómo construir acueductos hasta recetas de salsa de pescado, pero nos dejaron un misterioso objeto que, a pesar de haber sido estudiado durante siglos, nadie tiene ni idea de para qué sirve. Es el dodecaedro romano. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
El Dodecaedro Romano es un objeto hueco de bronce, a veces de piedra, con doce caras pentagonales planas. Cada cara tiene un agujero circular en el centro de diámetro variable y, en cada esquina, hay una pequeña bolita o protuberancia. Es geometría perfecta, pero, ¿para qué?
Se han encontrado más de cien por toda Europa. Lo curioso es el mapa de hallazgos, ya que casi todos aparecen en el norte, en lo que fue la Galia, Germania y Britania. En Roma, Grecia o el Mediterráneo son rarísimos, así que parece ser un objeto "galo-romano", una fusión cultural

Entenda como foi feita a operação americana que capturou Nicolas Maduro nessa Thread:
A operação dos EUA que invadiu a Venezuela para capturar o ditador Nicolas Maduro, batizada como "Resolução absoluta" contou com meses de planejamento, agentes da CIA e da tropa de elite americana.
O líder do partido revelou que Maduro não estava em sua residência oficial durante os ataques, o Palácio Miraflores, e sim em um complexo militar em Caracas. O ditador já estava lá antes por riscos à sua segurança.
"Sou contra o Maduro, mas acho errado o que Trump fez."
Essa frase soa razoável, equilibrada, e adulta. O tipo de coisa que uma pessoa séria diria para não parecer radical.
O problema é que essa frase é, moralmente, uma das piores posições possíveis sobre a Venezuela. 🧵

Não porque seja moderada. Mas porque é fuga consciente. O "mas" ali não é prudência. É um pedido silencioso de absolvição moral.

O tirano recebe o benefício da complexidade, do contexto histórico, das circunstâncias atenuantes. A reação contra ele precisa se justificar infinitamente, responder a mil objeções, pedir licença para existir.
A violação sistemática da liberdade vira um problema menor. O incômodo causado pela resposta para dar fim as violações da liberdade vira o problema real.

Ukraina jest laboratorium współczesnej wojny. W konflikcie wyniszczającym, zdominowanym przez presję czasu i pilność decyzji, armie i społeczeństwa nieustannie się adaptują. W 2025 roku

2/24 konflikt ukraiński nie tylko wpłynął na politykę światową — zmienił także samą naturę wojny. Gdyby podsumować rok jednym zdaniem, można by go opisać jako rosyjską presję i natarcie na całym froncie — bez przełomu — przy jednoczesnej intensyfikacji wzajemnych uderzeń w głąb
3/24 zaplecza. Ukraina ugina się, ale nie pęka: odpowiada uderzeniem na uderzenie na terytorium przeciwnika, adaptuje się, wprowadza innowacje, produkuje pod bombami i liczy swoich sojuszników.

Never Forget: Charlie Kirk adamantly opposed the "Neocon" & regime change wars—EVEN IF DONE ON BEHALF OF ISRAEL. He unleashed a flurry of tweets & videos arguing against them last summer. It's clear he would have opposed regime change in Venezuela, too.
2/ Here's just a few of Charlie's tweets opposing regime change:
3/ Charlie went to the White House, to Trump himself and argued right to Trump's face to not do regime change
Most associate creatine with bodybuilding.
But that's like saying a smartphone is just for phone calls.
The benefits extend far beyond muscle growth.
Here's why creatine is one of the most powerful brain supplements available: 🧵

Here's why creatine is one of the most powerful brain supplements available: 🧵
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound in muscle and brain tissue.
Your body makes about 1-2 grams daily, and you can get another 1-2 grams from meat and fish.
Supplementing with 5 or more grams daily (might) make you a superhuman.
But how does it work?

Creatine boosts ATP (body's primary energy currency).
Think of ATP as rechargeable batteries powering every cell.
When these batteries run low, performance suffers.
Creatine rapidly recharges these batteries, maintaining high energy levels.

Decennialang berichtte de @NOS slechts summier over de "grooming gangs" in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Onlangs verscheen er (online) echter een reportage van #Nieuwsuur (NOS & NTR) en vandaag is er zowaar een relatief uitgebreid artikel op de NOS-website gepubliceerd. 1/9
"(...) gaat over duizenden slachtoffers, volgens sommigen zelfs tienduizenden", schrijft @FleurLaunspach. Dat de 🇬🇧-correspondent het nog over "duizenden" heeft is belachelijk. Alleen al in #Rotherham alleen zouden er 1400 slachtoffers zijn. "Duizenden" is dus misplaatst. 2/9
@FleurLaunspach Launspach heeft het ook over "verschillende Engelse steden", alsof het om een handvol steden gaat. De verkrachtingsbendes zijn in meer dan vijftig steden actief. Overigens niet alleen in Engeland, maar ook in Schotland. Het taalgebruik van Launspach is dus nogal eufemistisch. 3/9
🧵My Uncle Donald died in 2015, age 55, surrounded by his loving family
He had Down's syndrome, and not a day went by without him giving someone a smile
I cant' imagine anyone would want to harm Donald, or anyone with Down's syndrome.
And yet @IDF had repeatedly done this

The family told @IDF that Muhammad needed help with care- dressing, eating food and water...
@IDF didn't care. They forced family to leave. They left Muhammad without medical care.
The Bhar family found Muhammad dead 2 days later when they returned home.

How to make a simple algorithmic trading strategy with a 472% return using Python.

This strategy takes advantage of "flow effects", which is how certain points in time influence the value of an asset.
This strategy uses a simple temporal shift to determine when trades should exit relative to their entry for monthly boundary conditions.
This strategy uses a simple temporal shift to determine when trades should exit relative to their entry for monthly boundary conditions.
The signals for when to go short, when to cover shorts, when to go long, and when to close longs are all linked to these recurring monthly cycles.
This periodic "flow" of signals—month-in, month-out—creates a systematic pattern.

As more and more of the world’s anti-American authoritarian regimes openly hate Jews and Israel, American Jews who oppose them are smeared as acting not as Americans, but on Israel’s behalf.
How does one break this insidious knot?
In this clip, Tucker explicitly praises Maduro’s “social conservatism,” highlights Venezuela’s ban on usury (a classic antisemitic trope), minimizes dictatorship and corruption, and reframes interest rates, not tyranny, as a core of Venezuela’s collapse. All the while, repeatedly casting Israel as the hidden motive behind his critics.

Rolling Stone and their bias against Michael Jackson: a thread 🧵🪡
For context, Rolling Stone launched in 1967 as a magazine for rock music fans.
Their first cover featured John Lennon. Its early coverage was overwhelmingly focused on white rock artists, often sidelining Black musicians or treating them as “crossover” acts rather than central figures in music. Neither Chuck Berry nor Little Richard (both black Rock artists who are foundational figures in Rock & Roll) got the same amount of coverage as white artists who were literally inspired by them, like The Beatles.

Before we go further, it’s worth naming the people behind Rolling Stone because their biases shaped coverage.
Jann Wenner – co-founder of RS. In 2023 he said of Black artists like Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield: “they just didn’t articulate at that level,” and described Black and female artists as “not in his zeitgeist.”
Dave Marsh – former Creem magazine editor with a history of misogynistic and racially biased critiques. He wrote extensively on Springsteen and the Beatles with positive commentary, even went as far to marry Springsteen’s co-manager. In 1985 published Trapped: The Michael Jackson Story, a book highly critical of Michael with clear racial undertones.
Rob Sheffield – current RS critic with lots of bias towards white artists. Known for praising Taylor Swift and the Beatles heavily, while downplaying Michael Jackson. For example, he ranked Michael’s 1993 Super Bowl Halftime Show at #15 on his “Worst to Best” list.
