There’s also a reason why votes in parliaments aren’t secret.

It’s the lazy drive-by and rage votes specifically that I would love to see eliminated. If you’re too much a coward to defend a position, maybe you shouldn’t express it.
To me the anonymity of voting is the problem, so the solution is to make them public for all, not to find ways of making them more private.
Yes. An advocate and ally of LGBTQ+ groups is definitely onside with Xi.
You fucking idiot.
“Liberal” means “the left” almost exclusively in North America (specifically the USA and Canada). In most of the world the term “liberal” means what Americans call “libertarians” (read: capitalist assholes).
“No, you’re wrong, and should suffer for it”.
How very Abrahamic of you. Indeed if you didn’t continually and loudly bleat your politics from talk like this I’d assume you were a fundamentalist Christian.
Liberals decisions are based on marginal benefit and rational decision making based on a combination of large and small scale unbiased data and historical outcomes.
[citation needed]
Liberals have their own idiotic biases and foolishness. Biases and foolishness that have led to the “disappearing” of many LGBTQ+ activists in China, incidentally, which is why so many such groups in China are distancing themselves from their western counterparts.
WTF is “ammenmend” supposed to communicate? I have genuinely no idea what you’re on about.
This would be your straw leftist, I assume? 'Cause I’ve never seen a single leftist anywhere who says that.
I find it equal parts of entertaining and disturbing that you’re trying to drum up hatred just so you can feel less lonely. Here’s a genuine question, but don’t answer it. Well, don’t answer it to me (or anybody else here). Answer it for yourself.
Why are you so fucking dead set on hatred?
The answer to that question is for you and your therapist to work out. (If you don’t have a therapist FUCKING GET ONE STAT!)
Say “I’ve never read history” without, you know, saying it.
To amplify from the other side of the world:
善為士者,不武;善戰者,不怒;善勝敵者,不與;善用人者,為之下。是謂不爭之德,是謂用人之力,是謂配天古之極。 —老子
A good scholar is not a warrior; A good fighter is not angry; Those who are good at defeating enemies will not compete with them; Those who make good use of people are inferior. It is called the virtue of not competing, the power of using people, and the extreme of matching heaven and ancient times. —Laozi
Does anybody actually think he’s going to see the inside of a cell?
I’m pretty sure the other states have similar incentives.
Fifteen. Seconds.
The Model 3 is an overpriced, shoddily-assembled car. The only reason it’s the “affordable” one is because of the huge amount of tax incentives E-vehicles get. If you had to pay the actual cost of a Model 3 you would not be calling it a “fantastic car”.
I know it’s hard for the Tesla cultists to accept, rather like the Apple cultists before them, but Tesla products are not good products for the price.
Nobody cares “how it works” and “what really goes on”. They care about the outcomes.
And the outcomes are a festering pile of half-truths sculpted to meet a pre-defined narrative.
If I open up any news site anywhere in the world and read what it has to say on subjects I know something about, it takes little to no time to start racking up a large count of egregious errors of fact. And note here: errors of fact, not simplifications, etc. Outright incorrect information.
So when I extrapolate my findings in my own areas of expertise into the areas I lack expertise in, I have zero confidence that what I’m being told is correct or truthful.
So it doesn’t matter how things work. It doesn’t matter what really goes on. Whatever goes on and however it works, the output is factually incorrect and narrative-furthering. Apparently being “one of the most self-critical professions there is” isn’t helping.
Time to change how things work and what goes on, no?
I know, right? It’s like irony is a lost art.
