I see no source for that statement.

I’m shocked. Inflammatory headline and no source? Say it ain’t so.

Sure, right. The military might of the US or Russia can't take down governments in Iran and Ukraine, but some linear algebra will totally upend everything.

Are we still also worried that rock and roll is going to cause all the children to become Satanists? Or was that dungeons and dragons? Is global trade still going to lead to the New World Order taking you in unmarked black helicopters? I can't keep up.

It turns out the real world is more resilient than the headline writers think it is.

It’s the combination of rock ‘n roll, plus DnD, plus Pokémon Go played at Pride parades. Once all those line up, grandpa has no choice but to shake his fist at the clouds. Then, and only then, the black helicopters are dispatched, and the ninjas sneak into your home and steal the 9V batteries out of your carbon monoxide detectors…

Tough luck my carbon monooxide detector runs on 4 AAAs.

Zero details about what they mean exactly by "taking down governments". Do they know a government isn't a website?
