@freemo @louis believe me, it's a common argument here in germany with more than 5 parties having a substantial vote. if you vote for something else you are "throwing your vote away".

regarding people throwing a fit:
i think what happens is that people identify very strongly with certain parties that criticizing these parties is an attack at their ego. i believe that this happens more for progressive parties, as those often use emotional arguments (like "end of democracy"). at least much more often than conservatives.

@sun If I remember correctly Nietzsche distinguished between pity and sympathy. Sympathy is the desire to help others while pity is pain you feel at someone else's wretchedness. So pity is not compassionate, it is actually a self centered and base emotion in his view. He is not against helping or caring for others. He says things like "Everyone should give to the poor but beggars should be abolished" because giving out of compassion is a higher act while giving to ease the pain you feel at a beggars wretchedness is abase act.

@theorytoe still not sure it's a happening tbh. might as well just be an op to have people riot to do more police state afterwards.

in any case, protests and riots today are retarded because of the 100% surveillance.

I found this weird rock on the property I'm living on. Kind of a fan.

P.S. I moved on Friday. I now live waaaay out on the prairie. All my electricity is solar. Internet from Starlink.

I'm not certain, but I think I've narrowed it down to either the motherboard or RAM, but I don't have a spare for either.

Anticipate that NAS may be down for 2-3 days until I get the new hardware (+build it).

BREAKING: What is "federation" and how can it harm you? Is Russia involved, given it's called "Russian Federation"? All these answered and more, click here.

@iron_bug absolutely agree on that. it's really painful to see good bands deconstruct themselves.

welp, i guess i at least have seen some cool bands live before they went to be total shit.

they had malcolm x shot because he said shit that was too real and when he stopped being racist it was a real problem :blobcatglitch:
