Indian Rebellion of 1857
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in India between 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown. The event is known by many names, including the Sepoy Mutiny, the Indian Mutiny, the Great Rebellion, the Revolt of 1857, the Indian Insurrection, and India's First War of Independence.

I'm not a star wars know-it-all, but wouldn't it have been easier if the empire blamed the destruction of those planets using the death star and star killer base on the rebels?

Drama ensues when visiting trade theorist (VT) comes in with a contrary stance, a resident theorist 1(TT1) comments, and then decides to back off
Theorist number 2 (TT2) goes into a long-winded discussion, with comments such as:

But if you consider the huge amount of literature put out by economists and social scientists out of Latin America, India, Africa and China. Well then the morons who you consider as orthodox pales in comparisons. For a moron like you IMF, WB are respectable institutions but UNCTAD, TWN, the kind of work done in the New school etc etc are not respectable. Or better yet you haven't even heard about these institutions or the research they put out.

> keep up the conspiratorial thinking. you're no different than a actual nazi who thinks ze jews controls ze banks. Now, it is possible that my mind is so poisoned by the assumptions of current episteme that i cannot see past it but that doesn't make whatever fringe theory you're peddling right or the next revolution.
VT goes out all guns blazing: >This might seem a bit harsh and you might come out of this conversation thinking bad about me, See retard i have a phd in computational logic, I currently work in cognitive scien
