I think the parent analogy still works, actually. It’s a bit like Israel’s Hannibal Directive. Even if the individual is at fault, they are able to petition their government and ask for help, which might potentially put the government in a position to make some seriously unfortunate decisions.
It is an attempt to prevent citizens from becoming political pawns.
Xi Jinping also pretty casually mentioned the Thucydides Trap to trump during a state visit, so…Not unreasonable.
Probably has more to do with pretty much every single russian being able to name a family member lost to Stalin’s purges.
Uprising is one of those things that makes sense if you’re a dude in the 18-25 age range. Stops being cool pretty rapidly outside of that demographic.
Edit: or unless you are/are backed by actual oligarchs.
You’re not wrong.
I hope americans that didn’t vote for trump are paying attention, because this is still their future.
And just like in the midwestern US, people start caring as soon as it hits their own pockets.
TBH this is true for basically anyone that has a life. The only people that care about politics are the people directly affected by said politics and the people with not enough going on in their personal lives. Rising prices are the most direct way to get people directly affected.
tbf that’s a worldwide phenomenon in IT.
Russia has had a bit of an IT renaissance since the invasion, as western companies started pulling out and cutting ties, they needed homegrown alternatives.
would have been good to include that in the headline. as it is, the headline is a bit misleading and makes it seem as if they’re angry at their own government or sth
Being angry at the own government is a crime, so…What do you think they’re gonna say to a journalist?
wrong poster
Damn, they’ll have to go all the way to zillow if they wanna case your place, huh?
Eh, the basic science still works. Just need better magnets, and an MRI cavity capable of, ya know, fitting the body itself.
Which is probably somewhat offensive to larger folks, but like. At a certain point…either it’s custom made, or we use the one designed for elephants. Sorry.
Just a bigger cremation oven that can handle the increased heat.
Bit like that one story a while back of an…extremely large lady who went to a hospital for an X-ray, and they sent her to the local zoo to use the elephant X-ray.
Fun fact: you need specially designed cremation ovens for, uh, ‘plus sized’ folks. Fat burns pretty hot, so using a regular sized oven is a great way to catch the funeral home on fire.
Oh, so your opinions on politics are just outright irrelevant, and you want others to become irrelevant too.
I dunno, but if you’re gonna accuse me of random isms, feels like you could throw a bunch more on the list
I was trying to do a cinnamon VB, which apparently is not the way to start. I don’t really have a second computer to convert, which is the issue.
I think many voters are disengaged enough to vaguely know that it’s cool to be against flock, but not really know why.
I guess you ran out of dumbass accusations, then. I’m surprised you didn’t work in sexist somehow.
People like you.
See, when elections come around, if you’re an American you will show up and vote for trump. Just like every Republican will. And everyone you convince to not vote becomes electorally irrelevant. Their views no longer matter to the party, because they didn’t vote.
So of course the party is gonna move towards the voters.
Do you know what a P test is? Go look that up.
Do you know what trap questions are? Go look those up too.
Your comprehensive multi year survey is at least believable, because the only claims it makes it an increase in happiness about the government. It does not claim 90+% support like your bullshit chart above.
What relevant does quality of life have to people lying on surveys?
Huh, turns out basic statistical concepts are racist. Lol. No, when every single Chinese worker replies 100% satisfaction on every survey, that data is useless. There is no point collecting that data.
Donald Trump officially claims that 95% of Americans support him. Maybe your chart isn’t true, because it doesn’t show 95% support.
Soviet union also had some pretty high approval ratings, I recall. I wonder how that’s going?
…did you stand there and wait until the flush completed to close the lid before?
