There are always stakes, and lives usually still bargaining items. It's often just merely slow or fast deaths. Example, the 2006 Mexico elections and the inevitable consequence of the militarization of the drug war that escalated human losses.<br /><br />Those benefit and service cuts still immisserate and kills people in Brazil and Thailand, too. Not to mention police violence.<br /><br />These things are true, because in most of these cases, whether by armies in the streets or bad faith corruption probes, the central argument these societies are usually having is whether some people who do not typically get a say, do get a say.<br /><br />The South Korean impeachment is the exception that really kinda proves the rule.<br /><br />shah8https://www.blogger.com/profile/04537529816304128000noreply@blogger.com
