Let’s say pre, what are you trying to demonstrate with this line of questions?
I’d say 50%+, but I’m sure various political historians would draw the line in various places.
If the coup is supported by the masses and actually replaces the government itself, then yes. If it’s not supported by the masses, or merely replaces the leadership of the existing government, then no.
Displacing the previous government with a different one. What other sense is there?
I’m just saying they were successful liberal revolutions.
I didn’t know, so I had to look. That’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but it looks like the answer is Patrice de MacMahon, or maybe Adolphe Theirs.
If you’re talking more in abstractly in the sense of political ideology, it’s kinda tough to say. The government was less than a year old, fresh out of the imperial monarchy of Napoleon III, recovering from their losses to Prussia.
MacMahon was Napoleon III’s Marshal, it’s not a stretch to imagine he may have harbored imperialist sentiments.
Thiers was certainly more liberal, which only goes to reinforce my point that liberals aren’t inherently bad at revolutions. He was in the middle of his own revolution (again) and dissolved the Commune’s revolution in a month’s time.
You’d be right to take issue with the Bloody Week for other reasons, but you can’t say it supports the idea that liberals can’t do revolutions.
I see what you’re trying to say, but the French and American revolutions were both explicitly liberal.
The real self-help secret is balance, but different people have different biases so the changes necessary to achieve balance are different.
Timid pessimists need to learn the power of yes.
People-pleasers need to learn the power of no.
Procrastinators need to work more.
Workaholics need to work less.
Narcissists need to be considerate of others.
The insecure need to be considerate of themselves.
Trying to read every self help book for maximum mental health is like taking every pill in your medicine cabinet for maximum physical health.
Looks like the cover for an album called “Experimentation” by a band called “Synaptic Response”

I will not be accepting questions at this time.

Sports teams, shows I didn’t care about, other niche communities. I prefer this approach because I like finding content I never would have thought to subscribe to.

They’re not mutually exclusive. I’d argue it’s easier to work on the no death solution under a slow death regime than a fast one. We’ve still got a lot of work to do to get to an ideal solution. Lesser evil solutions ensure slightly more favorable conditions while we do that work.
Really? Who’s her dad?
