My condolences for being a nation on the continual brink of Christianish-Fascism.
"Land of the free". I'm so sorry for Muricans.
Looked a bit like morphed SpongeBob in the thumbnail. Not so much up close.
REJECTION OF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AS A SHAM AND A FRAUD
After socialism, Fascism trains its guns on the whole block of democratic ideologies, and rejects both their premises and their practical applications and implements. Fascism denies that numbers, as such, can be the determining factor in human society; it denies the right of numbers to govern by means of periodical consultations; it asserts the irremediable and fertile and beneficent inequality of men who cannot be leveled by any such mechanical and extrinsic device as universal suffrage. Democratic regimes may be described as those under which the people are, from time to time, deluded into the belief that they exercise sovereignty, while all the time real sovereignty resides in and is exercised by other and sometimes irresponsible and secret forces. Democracy is a kingless regime infested by many kings who are sometimes more exclusive, tyrannical, and destructive than one, even if he be a tyrant.
A bit? Exactly like Russia. They're at the full blown invading neighbors stage.
Maybe include an update to proportional election systems so that you can have more than two parties/better representation?
One of the cornerstones of evil. It's funny how they keep yapping about Animal farm and 1984 when the books keep reflecting their own behavior. 'Newspeak' and ‘Some animals are more equal than others’.
In a system where all the non-winning votes are lost in a step and not counted at the end, like the USA form of weak democracy, this becomes a valid tactic.
It's not only the presidential vote that's like this, but ALL fucking votes. It's astonishing how weak the US system is.
You're a flawed democracy with an outdated election system. The FPTP one seat districts forces two party politics.
According to Norwegian news the ambassador compared it to calling the Earth flat.
*And the Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the disputed area of the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Wednesday and called this a response to European countries' recognition of Palestine.
- We will not even allow a statement about a Palestinian state, said Ben-Gvir.
Fascism is a more defined ideology than that. You should probably read more on the subject.
Yes, but suppressive suggests using it on a higher level.
There's seems to be no end to serious failures of the Eurovision leadership. Jury votes, Israel and now EU flagban.
I even want meaningful connection developing into emotional intimacy; how disgusting am I!
Moose on the roof of a supermarket
Three moose was seen on the roof of a supermarket. One calf is suspected fleeing the scene while the mother died jumping down, as did the last calf seen on the video.
Gender information and perceived quality: An experiment with professional soccer performance
>Whether one looks at revenue, investment or coverage, men’s sports do better than women’s. Many assume that absolute differences in quality of athletic performance are the driving force. However, the existence of stereotypes should alert us to another possibility: gender information might influence perceived quality. We perform an experiment in which 613 participants viewed clips of elite female and male soccer players. In the control group, participants evaluated unmodified videos where the gender of the players is clear to see. In the treatment group, participants evaluated the same videos but with gender obscured by blurring. Using a regression analysis, we find that participants rate men’s videos higher – but only when they know they are watching men. When blurring obscures the gender, ratings for female and male athletes do not differ. We discuss implications for research and the sports industry.
