Hong Kong was an independent country

Not too sure about that. PRC’s PLA has literally been in HK since 1997. You can’t really call yourself “independent” when you have an outside force occupying you.

Taiwan does have its own military, so that’s why they are considered de facto independant.

Tbf they didn’t reach 3.5%, did they?

1989 PRC population was 1 billion and they only managed to have 1 million protestors which is like 0.1%

Vanguardism sure have worked great in the past, amirite?

If nazis win this time, there wont ever be a nuremberg, because the planet will go through rapid climate change and everyone is gonna be dead.

I believe but don’t care. <— The US is around here

That’s only the democrats

The republicans don’t even believe it

Tbf there is a lot of money in propaganda. I don’t know how someone who grew up in some backwards-ass rural town/village in some hyper-conservative area in the deep south of the US is supposed to develop the critical thinking enough to look past fox news and actually do research. I’m not excusing them, but like, I understand why they don’t believe its happening.

if we’re unhappy with them now, then the answer should be secession

Problems is, seccession is illegal in the US, and attempting secede is practically impossible (US Military), unless the federal government intentionally allows it to, unlawfully, happen.

People are stupid. They think RCV is “too confusing”

I heard about some city (NYC??) that has public wifi access points with the terminal thing that acts like a touch screen computer for people to browse the internet. And people were allegedly watching porn on it, like in public on a busy street. So they disabled the touchscreen computer thing and only left the wifi access point on.

Language is so weird these days…

Everything is “app” nowaways

A .exe install on windows is “app”

A reddit account is “app”

Buying a phone plan and inserting a sim card into a phone is “activation” of a phone

Lol

Its a windows program or software

Reddit is not an “app”, its a platform.

You’re not “activating” your phone, your phone is already usable, all you did was purchase a voice/data plan and inserted a sim card. “Activation” is a apple internet lock thing, totally separate.

Yea these terms are quite loosely defined. I had the mental image of people around my age group in mind. Like around 2000 to 2005 birth year.

Don’t know any 13 year olds, who are I guess technically “Gen Z”. So I guess I should use the term “Post 2005 Kids” instead. 😅

I’m gen z and never heard the words “skibidi” “rizz” irl

I did hear “no cap” and “Alpha”/“Beta” tho

Pre-empts local laws preventing sub-divisions of the State (Cities, Towns) from enacting their own election system that would use “ranking” as a method of determining candidates winning or losing.

Renaming the system will not bypass the ban.

Which reminds me. Governor of NY didn’t even fucking sack Crooked Adams. That just tells all you need to know. Crooks covering for crooks. Now the crook in cheif drops the charges on Adams.

What a shitshow.

I don’t think we’ll ever have a “true” democracy.

Its like the concept of “utopia”, you can get closer and closer, but never actually reach it

Like an asymptote in mathematics.

I get why Gen alpha use “Ohio” to describe something bad now

God damn Skibidi Ohio polititians with no rizz, no cap fr fr, voters with brainrot smh

(sorry for the use of Gen alpha brainrot language)

People don’t vote in primaries enough.

AOC did it. Beat the corporate PoS. We can all do it.

And if they try to rig it, we do a little French-style direct action 😏

I just read about it. Apparantly, most voters preferred the republican Begich over other 2 candidates and Begich is the Condorcet winner, so I could see why they’d be upset at the result.
