We have proportional representation in our country. Specifically, it’s PR-STV (all implementations are not equal). It’s widely credited for keeping imported culture wars and hysterics at a lower level than other countries in the EU.

It’s not a silver bullet, but I would be afraid for any country that stays with FPTP in the the days of the dark-money-to-dark-algorithm pipeline were all witnessing.

We should also be boycotting USA until they honour their treaties with the tribes.

Just looking at your post history. Is this some kind of cruelty fetish of yours?

Interesting commentary on this by historian Aparna Nair on Bluesky. Essentially, saying that caste and discrimination is inherent in a certain cohort of the society which adhere to racism and eugenics.

Very interesting and credible. I recognise the hypervigilance part, and it sounds like there’s some practice/training as well as “instinct” in there too.

First they came for our users and I did not speak up …

I’m relieved to hear that. I’m thinking back about the times where I might have missed something like that. Not a comfortable thought. Thanks for the reply!

That is absolutely terrifying. Good instincts on your part. I’m assuming/hoping she was okay?

That was a terrifying read, but thanks for sharing. I’d like to be able to spot it.
