Better late than never?

Would you rather the kind of politician that just lies constantly?

The current anger with Sanders appears to be, from an outsiders pov, that he didn’t criticize Israel by calling it a genocide soon enough.

That appears to be it.

I mean. To dismiss everything because one mistake, even if that mistake is massive, and then correcting that mistake, if belatedly, to me, says something very positive about that politician.

I’d prefer it was immediate, and it’s gross that it took him so long, but all the other stuff isn’t cancelled out by that. He’s still a net positive. And he DID criticize earlier than any other us politician I can think of, and sure it Could have been even earlier and harsher, but like. Fuck. If you hate politicians for being open to changing mind based on new evidence, or reforming beliefs you don’t like, or admitting mistakes, you are AGAINST them being rational and it plays right into the hands of neoliberal propagandists.

In their mind the park is practically over, everyone fucking hates them, their need to provide a veneer of giving a fuck about these animals is fucking gone, who cares?

I was dealing with a boot kit exploit a couple years back.

On the great side (for me) Microsoft’s shitty fucking online installation requirements helped prompt me permanently switching to Linux.

On the negative side the issues were still there.

On the positive side I learned about air gapping a pc.

On the native side the issues were still there.

On the negative my self installed deadbolt was a waste of $40 because I forgot my fucking keys in it once and the issue was still there. Also I didn’t install it properly.

On the positive side my new deadbolt evidently works.

On the negative side it cost me $500 in addition to brand new hardware and the cost of a locksmith to install it securely.

On the mixed side I epoxied my windows shut, which was a very elegant solution by my apartment being very easy to break in to.

On the positive side I won’t even touch windows now, and my knowledge of how a pc and operating system works has increased exponentially under Linux and I actually understand a little bit of C, in addition to bash and Python, which is, awesome.

On the positive my home is secure which is awesome.

On the negative side: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.

On the mixed side I also no longer order from Amazon. Or order electronics from anywhere.

Great points.

My comment wasn’t in reference to FTPT specifically, though I suppose the UK uses FPTP in voting for party leadership?

And im guessing this doesn’t happen so much in other countries that don’t use FPTP?

Palestinian electric boogaloo.

I mean. It’s obviously working. Coward.

People that were against terrorism legislation argued this until they were blue In the face and people people told them don’t worry, the government is totally not going to abuse these powers.

I don’t like you.

I met an Aussie in Thailand who claimed that ranked ballot elections are undemocratic, that recent Australian protests were not racist, that immigration was a huge problem in Australia, that Australians are not actually racist at all, and that recent Australian protests were about protesting Palestine, and not racist at all.

I agree with both of you.

Real question:

Im going tongo tin foil haters a bit with the implication:

If you have a faist government why not just bring back the royal family as the leaders?

I get that facism is different than monarchism but many of the key distinctions aren’t that significant imo, in that they both lean heavily towards autocracy and both Aggressively punish dissent.

You’re not tongoing at all imo.

And now that we’re on the subject, has anybody ever been as far to go make to do look more like?

I hope she doesn’t an hero.

are you drunk?

I’m drunk.

Wat Exit: I misread the comment. I subtract my wat. Thanks for the downvotes, it made me re-read the original comment

This is a big part one party system of governments tend to fail.

Also indicative of how multi party systems Can fail apparently.

This is a terribly written comment… There is a better way to say what you’re trying to say. I think. I’m not 100% on what your point really is.

Like. I get it. China is absolutely an authoritarian state. But it also isn’t coming apart at the fucking seams, really seems to have its shit together, and offers a very good quality of life if you make enough money, from what I’ve heard.

It isn’t a glittering wonderland or anything but you’re not going to be deported for no fucking reason if you’re an expert in your field (unless you get on the wrong side of the government).

The USA is coming apart at the seams. It isn’t just authoritarianism, it’s ineptitude and implosion. They’re totally different situations.
