The “minimum support threshold” for Germany’s MMP voting system is 1% of the voters. Without even taking things like gerrymandering and strategic voting into account, the threshold for a first-past-the-post system like in the U.S. is often well over 40% of the voters. An absurd difference.
Sure, MMP is not perfect. No system is. But it’s extremely much better than FPTP.
That is not a proportional system of representation.
No system that creates a large amount of election “losers” can ever be fully democratic. If you vote for the second most popular party, or the third most popular, et cetera, you should still be given representation.
An ML propaganda source, an irrelevant youtuber with no viewers, a technically legit article but only about the “special economic zone” AKA the only place in NK with any prosperity, a random twitter user saying that the Black Panthers interacted with and were interested in Juche (that proves absolutely nothing about NK), a broken link and a joke video about haircuts.
Your sources are absolute trash and you know it. The only money NK makes is by selling arms to Russia, and hoping for naive tourists to bring foreign currency. They have relied on food aid from the US every year since the starvation in the early 90’s.
We both know that you are an insane Marxist-Leninist who will discard any real sources as “cia propaganda” or “liberal lies” so instead I’m going to demand from you any proof for your insane ramblings that don’t come from either North Korean propaganda or Marxist-Leninist sources!
I’ve had enough of ML bullshit propaganda! YOU need to provide sources for YOUR outlandish claims! We both know you’re lying on purpose. You’re refusing to see a truth that would only require a simple Wikipedia or Youtube search. Because you probably view all real sources as fictional and all fictional sources as real.
North Korea is one of the poorest, most corrupt and most oppressed countries in the world. You are delusional.
Are you saying that North Korea’s ethnonationalist “self-sufficiency” policies have been a success?
The opposite of multiculturalism is incestculturalism. The opposite of “race-mixing” is “incest-mixing”.
Use language to make people understand why a constant inflow of new cultural trends and new genetic variety is a good thing. The alternative is bad for everyone, and always has been.
The best example of a country that opposes multiculturalism and “race-mixing” is North Korea. Poverty, drug abuse, corruption and ignorance are the “glorious” results of ethnonationalism.
I was thinking TurboQueef but that works too.
Normally I get angry at these pathological liars but this lie is so absurdly stupid that it’s actually funny.
Imagine someone driving their van to a parking lot near the white house and then going “Welp, better strap on my suicide nuke that will obliterate the entire city. I see no other way of doing this.”
Having voter’s remorse in 2017 is reasonable and justified. Voting for Trump in 2024 means that you are a very bad person. That’s the difference.
Also, people blame the Republican party all the time, including in this instance.
Also, people blame nonvoters all the time.
Also, more than one kind of person exists on Lemmy. You wouldn’t say “IRL blames democratic party” because that sentence makes no sense. The same is true for what you just wrote.
TL;DR: you couldn’t be more wrong than you are.
Here in Sweden it used to be praxis for parties in parliament to abstain rather than voting no if they opposed a proposed government for whom they had no better alternative.
Then the nazis came into parliament and threw that praxis out the window and thus ruined a system that had worked great for over half a century.
“The global south” is a well-established concept that has replaced the concept of the “third world” since the collapse of the soviet union (the “second world”).
Nonsense. It gives the same benefits that a simple massage does but a massage doesn’t put you at risk of paralysis or death.
It’s quackery.
Imagine if Iran had allied with ISIS, killed the US President and bombed several US schools, then a couple of weeks later Iran’s leader goes “anyway, we are winding down this war. It is someone else’s problem now.”
That’s not how war works.
You want an online community that allows both the right and the far right? That would be ALL OTHER ONLINE COMMUNITIES!
We came here specifically to get our own forum, where the centre left, regular left and far left are all allowed. This is a forum for the working class, not for the capitalists. And you capitalists can’t handle the fact that us workers for once get to have a forum of our own.
Granted, I don’t know what Haiku is, but surely it can’t be more independent and niche than TempleOS?
According to marxists, a capitalist is someone who extracts the surplus value of other people’s labor.
According to non-marxist socialists, a capitalist is someone who holds decision-making power in a workplace without having been given that mandate by the workers of that workplace.
In either case, owning your own business does not in itself make you a capitalist. Having non-owner employees makes you a capitalist.
