You might compare the violence with that in a very strict society, like the Soviet Union, or with any other country, whether Latin American countries lately, many African nation with various governments, or certain parts of North America (D

Successful by what standards or measures? I don't think the "cohere" argument is true, but do you have some examples I could think about? The Soviet Union didn't cohere, for one example I can think of. Neither did the Br

This is an interesting point. I'd like to get some information on this myself. Of course, replacing ANY government or social system with another one will result in social upheaval and difficulties. In the book, van Notten alludes to th

This is a helpful warning to travelers, but doesn't necessarily mean the nation isn't doing fine (for Somalis). Also, at different times most nations (or regions of nations) have different events, of course. Many of these warnings

Just curious. Cloudflare published this a while ago: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-we-terminated-daily-stormer/ What is the temperature, though? Scale of 1-10, how much did you trust them before the ban, and how much

These two aren't the same. If I want, for any reason, to not use Amazon, I can do that easily (even if I will have to pay more, it is my choice) by typing any other online store or seller into my browser, or going to a local store. For
