  • I mean you’re right but your expectations on political freedom are indeed unrealistic in the current order. The US isn’t functioning very well as a democracy but even in countries where democracy is mostly working the options aren’t all that much better.

    In Sweden we don’t have first past the post. I don’t see any major issues with our voting system. Any party that gets at least 4% has a place in the parliament. The left still struggles immensely and seems kind of bewildered. Our alt right party just keeps growing.


  • This is wild speculation but I’m not even sure the Biden administration understands what people want at this point though. I see sort of the same problem in Swedish politics. Left wing politics has stagnated and doesn’t understand how to win people over. Alt right is growing.

    The major difference is that we don’t have first past the post so even when our alt right party is second largest and the right is in government their influence is somewhat limited. They certainly get to ship their agenda but at least there are others in the room with a voice when they do.

    It does seem like a good diversion tactic to blame a completely unrelated minority for a completely unrelated problem when you really want to protect billionaires from raised taxes.

    I mean just move the discussion as far away as possible from them.

    Now I want a team based FPS game where classes are the economic classes.

    And you can decide to revolt and switch around the teams to make it proletariat versus bourgeoisie. (The French sure have weird spelling btw)

    What ever team that can hold the most strategic points/means of production long enough wins.
