Just watching updates reactions is funny to me for some reason. Also watching Reploid's responses.
Reploid Productions wrote:Alright, lads, lasses, and those of nonbinary gender, standby, this trawl is gonna take quite awhile.

EDIT TO ADD: And yes, I am looking through all 50 pages, and I'll be reviewing this thread after that as well. I fully expect just from what I've already seen here and in the thread that, and I quote myself from the sekrit lair, "the redtext is going to look like someone brutally feng shui'd Santa all over the room."

TRAWL UPDATE: Just finished with page 10. My original estimate may have been far too optimistic.

TRAWL UPDATE #2: Just finished page 20. My original estimate was definitely far too optimistic.

TRAWL UPDATE #3: Just finished page 30. Holy fuck my original estimate was way too bloody optimistic.

TRAWL UPDATE #4: Just finished page 40. Sweet merciful Max in Australia, my original estimate has gone completely out the window.

TRAWL UPDATE #5: Just finished the thread. Now to review the moderation thread, review user histories, and figure out just how much I'm making the thread bleed.

The Pink Tide is a term specifically referring to Latin America. You might find it helpful to know what you're talking about before attempting to debate on it.

The "Pink" and "Blue" tides are all part of a cyclical occurence anyway. It goes in the vein of this: Rightwing government suffers a economic recession due to a stock market crash or a economic bubble by deregulation, severe austerity, devaluation of the currency and slashing of the social safety net follows, thus increasing unemployment, poverty, and dissatisfaction with the government, a popular wave of discontent causes governments one by one to fall and be followed by leftwing "pink" social democratic governments which cancel austerity, restore the benefits, pass measures intended to lower income inequality and modernize infrastructure, provide healthcare for all, reduce poverty, fund small businesses, etc etc, until a corruption scandal at the highest echelons of the financial sector and government (Think Lava Jato in Brazil) is revealed to the public, causing mass closures of infrastructural projects across the nation as they were funded by Petrobras, the same oil company financing em and implicated in the scandal, wave of arrests and dissolutions of firms causing havoc on the economy, putting hundreds of thousands of civilians out of work and thus onto the street, escalating crime rates and terrorist attacks, thus lowering financial confidence, leading to the impeachment of the corrupt president from office and then leading to widespread public dissatisfaction, which in turn leads to the upset election of a typical rightwing figure the likes of Jair Bolsonaro, and then repeat ad infinitum.

That is the Latin American political cycle in a nutshell, and it will remain so for the foreseeable future. Don't expect any tide to last forever, whether it is a conservative "blue tide" or a progressive "pink tide".
