Wow, what an intense emotional reaction to cold hard facts! Please, check your tone. You can find the facts I stated on the very wiki page you linked yourself. Do you doubt them? Why all this anger? Is it because now you had to do extra work providing further context selectively to reestablish the biased framing you had at the beginning? You're of course free to do so. And I could give more context to remove the bias again. But I won't bother. Anyone interested can read the articles themselves.

Missing context: 70% of the elected representatives belonged either to the Socialist Revolutionaries or the Bolsheviks. And the former split during the election with the left faction joining the Bolsheviks in a coalition government.

When the Western part of the Roman empire fell, nothing really changed in the East. Politics, economy, administration and culture, everything just continued. So why should they suddenly have to change their name, just because some people far away got lazy and messed up?

What do you use for DNS level blocking on android? I used to have an app, but it changed for the worse. Do you just set adguard dns as private DNS in your phone settings?

Yeah, it's a reaction to the British navy's practice of kidnapping people and forcing them them to serve on dangerous boats under horrible conditions with like two or three years life expectancy all to defend slavery and colonialism. Many pirates during the golden age were freed slaves or navy mutineers. Many crews were egalitarian and democratic. Disney doesn't quite capture that aspect.

I'm happy for you and your dad but you say

"Sometimes I wish you were still Republican, so I'd have someone to yell at."

as if there weren't still plenty of very good reasons to yell at Democrats...

Play Balatro instead. It's fun without money and has all the poker hands.
