It really seems like a distinction without a difference since its on their site. The capital is going to be where the supporters of the old regime are. Its a biased poll designed to get a result in favor of the old government and it failed.
Sure :)
Here is an image of the poll https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b4bd0c20-8521-465f-955e-522fd5a3abfc.png
Here is the actual article, but you’d have to pay the Economist to see the whole thing. https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/08/07/after-nigers-coup-the-drums-of-war-are-growing-louder
Upon actually finding the specific poll I was talking about, it is actually that the vast majority of people in Niger feel the coup should remain in power, which is technically not the same thing as saying they wanted it to happen. However you can look around and find that support for the coup is very high. Niger’s government was not popular. Only 21% of people polled by this very hostile to the coup source wanted the old president to be restored to power.
My understanding is that the majority of the population supports the coup even when the poll is done by biased media opposed to the coup like the Economist or Forbes. If the majority of people supported overthrowing the government then it doesn’t seem like an actual democracy. At least, its not something imposed on the people against their will.
I guess its a matter of perspective where if you care about the will of the people or if you care about power being transfered via elections even if the elections aren’t for anyone who represents the people. I definatley don’t like the second option but some people do feel that way I suppose.
Why does China not have as many of these events? Is India maybe more rural than China, or is it some kind of law thing like Florida?
Your explanation is very consise, but i dont undsrstand why people arent as commonly doing attrocities to women in China.
I guess it is possible that its the legacy of the Cultural Revolution, but the current government of China isnt a fan of that era of Maos policies.
I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.
I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.
Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.
Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.

Its not that you dont agree. Its not that you dont understand. You dont want to understand.
Go out and talk to a homeless person and ask him what he thinks of rehab or the local homeless shelter. Actually talking to people will influence your opinion to be less condescending.
An insane homeless addict is still better off smoking crack with his elemental dwarf pals in an appartment than an alley.
I wish social workers knew that. Social workers i know just make fun of homeless people and call them slurs.
I bet you used to call arabs towel heads. Im just an orc to you. Oh wait no Im ukrainian. That means im a special boy.
Monero is an ok cyrptocurrency because its not designed to make you money. Its designed to launder money and buy illegal things. Its useful if youre trans and live in Florida where hormones will be illegal.
Anyone who thinks crypto will replace money is high. The problem with capitalism isnt money. You cant fix it by inventing different money.
I feel like maybe you could have been more hostile. Why dont you try again, and really let it out this time!
I cant afford my medication anymore and now i just deal with the withdrawl and horrible pain. If i had just chosen to be a NEET instead of working at a coal mine this wouldnt have happened to me. Im tired.
My husband literally lives for free because 90% of our income comes from me. His money basically is just our food. So yeah, its unethical to charge your partner rent. Its really weird to view relationships as a business deal where you both give exactly 50 percent. That sounds like roommates who have sex.
Imagine a job with that guy above you in the heirarchy, and how he would notice all your little mistakes if you didnt agree with him.
Actually try having a job with outspoken republicans and see just how tolerant of you they are. Once they find out im gay its game over and my job ends soon after.
How many times? Three.
Does this happen in call cebter jobs? No, because the people are all centrists. But in the manual labor jobs i love its republicans who keep me from my dream.
What is the distinction between that and selling hot dogs you made yourself using store bought ingredients?
Pretending to enjoy video games is work, considering how much video games suck.
