That happens no matter who you vote … So yeah sure, pretend voting 3p means you’re doing anything other increasing the chance of oppression

It’s not as simple as this meme. But it did, however, basically happen back in 2016

Yeah. Now I’m wondering how it does. I had assume deletion on my end would delete for all. Is that determined by server if it does or something I suppose?

You should not confuse leftism as synonymous with anarchy and decentralization.

Decentralization does not work for large scale infrastructure that is needed to make a modern society function. Power concentrated invariably produces hierarchy, but you can still have power divided enough to combat that with a centralized system. Ranked choice voting, sizing your house correctly, and allowing many competing viewpoints to exist through campaign funding laws can stop most of the ills.

It’s a large mistake to assume that smaller groups of people will not still oppress others. Decentralization aids supremacy groups by allowing them to carve out areas where they have greater control, giving them a stronger foothold to take over society at large.

My first comment the one you replied to, is deleted on my end.?

Yeah I deleted that when I noticed. I’m curious how you saw it actually… Because I immediately deleted it

You’d have to have a pretty strange version of best to call an authoritarian country as such

Oil and natural gas are not solutions. You can call them better than goal but does that matter when they’re still enough to lead us to our demise?

I can’t imagine voting for all the ills that conservatives bring over a hobby.

There’s a reason why a Conservative win was predicted before trump went off his meds.

What

How long have the Liberals been in power? And did they do anything about the current cost of living crisis?

Man you are going off

Yes, people are shit ass at understanding economics. Neither liberalism nor conservatives are great at balancing budget. But conservatives sute as shit are a whole lot worse at it.

Sounds to me what you’re saying is “people start getting conservative when they don’t actually understand any economics at all”

Reduction of consumption at this point will not actually work, we’re already too far down the path of annihilation.

According to actual science and not just your opinion, it still could theoretically work.

There is no technological solution. There’s only reduction of consumption.

Prc will not reduce.

Why not just measure corruption, full stop? Why specify oligarchy corruption?

China still also falls apart under that viewpoint.

I mean we are literally on .ml right now.

It’d be nice if china could also like, not take that power so we don’t just end up with the same situation but with a dictatorship at the helm?

Do you have no understanding of anything ever.

Do you think good artists just magically appear

Few artists overcharge. That’s a strawman. Most massively undercharge

I like “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes” a bit better.

Cambridge should’ve been when everyone was done and tossed them out. But people are too weak

I’m not introducing any goal posts. These are things assumable with common sense. “If a metric becomes a goal, it ceases to be a metric” applies in such case. For progress, the only thing that matters is the total amount going down—neither per km area nor per capita have any value in measuring meaningful progress. But they could provide a good snapshot of present impact of each country.

Per capita is a better snapshot because it measures impact of a citizen in the country. Per landmass isn’t great because it ignores countries with outsized impacts.
