yeah I’m skeptical because the sample size is the same 16 people for every person who takes the quiz so it shouldn’t be hard at all to find 16 voters with especially contradictory/surprising views. Maybe they could have had some survey of ~2000 people like this and each iteration of the quiz would consist of some random sample from this?
Looking through the replies just to see this ghoul get dunked on, but the "dunking" consists of Americans whining about how he's "destroying the country" and "letting foreigners in" 
My hypothesis is that this is because they co-opted a lot of the civil rights movement to elevate some vague sense of "nonviolent protest" to the pinnacle of political action. Obviously this applies to more things, but calling your representative is just the peak of lib action.
Everything I say is going to be entirely vibes-based, but I feel like what the education system here taught about civil rights was a lot of "Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and MLK led nonviolent protests and did that one speech and the nonviolent protests were so effective in the marketplace of ideas that we ended racism (oh and btw MLK was a moderate who would agree with Republicans today
)." Now libs basically think any action where you make a lot of noise without any material consequences is the best way to create change because everyone's a rational actor who will always choose the good ideas as long as you put the idea out there and "look!! it worked in the 60s!!" Couple this with the belief that we actually live in a democracy where the government will "listen to the people" and you'll get people calling their representatives and sending strongly worded letters
If you had shown me a few years ago a story about a corporation that makes its money by making the Evil Machine That Destroys The World That Also Sucks At Its Job and capitalizing on the loneliness and suffering of people who feel they have nowhere else to go, I would have thought its message was a little too in-your-face. Everything about this sucks.
Love their album "God's Country." Their music suits their visual aesthetic really well in that it sounds like a regular guy who has been driven completely insane by the oppressive hellscape he finds himself in
She got a combo of that Goldberg + 2004 Randy Orton entrance lol
Also holy fuck I didn't realize they were having his memorial service in a whole stadium. Not exactly surprising though
This is kinda like the Israeli comedy videos that I had the misfortune of seeing recently where all the “jokes” were just the comedians stating their views. There is no punchline, just someone on stage saying “I love watching Palestinians get hit with missiles” to laughter from the crowd. It’s the same vibe where they’re barely making jokes, they’re just stating how much they want other people to suffer because that’s what they find funny
They lost 11-1 after doing this lmao
Has anyone asked Alex Jones if Charlie Kirk was a crisis actor
I was writing up a different reply when I realized that for all the talk by Democrats about "reaching across the aisle" and working on "bipartisan solutions," I don't think I've ever heard of Republicans saying anything similar about working with Democrats. I think this is probably another example of the Democrats and Republicans being functionally the same and rather than "capitulating," the Democrats are just going mask-off about it. It'd be nice if the Democrats at least made it look like they're trying to fight it though.

and of course China is lowly rated on the democracy scale




I'm an American dude who just joined after lurking for a few months here. I got burnt out from basically every other social media being filled with slop and overall terrible things and the vibes here seem much nicer. I'm a university student in my early 20s and I only recently got around to embracing leftism (a lot of things in the past few years have popped the lib bubble I used to be in) so if anyone has any recommendations for baby's first political theory reading, I'd be happy to check it out! Looking to get a much more concrete understanding of the world and its politics.

(oh and I like Omori too

Did some digging on that figure, and it gets worse lol. Here's the chart for context
Seems to have been originally posted on
. I checked the given source for the chart and it's an article on the 10 dictators who killed the most people on a top 10s website that hasn't been updated in 10 years. The article itself has a lot of gems too. It ends with
