I hate the videos like the one of some people harassing Peter Thiel on the street. Like wtf, why don't you do anything? The man is right there.

Elons ex just whistleblowed that Elon stole the 2024 election for Trump. Trump also said it in the start, some quote about Elon knowing election computers.

I even believe that he created in 2020, and that is how he is so sure biden did too. Because how else could he lose when he was cheating? But i think he learned that he needs to cheat more 🤷‍♂️

If ANYONE think there will be a democratic landslide while Trump and his cronies have the power, they are a fool. America is less of a democracy than Russia by now.

I dont know if sharing articles amounts to treason or not, but the article mentions another person who pled guilty to the same charge and got 20 months in prison.

It's weird, i don't know what my opinion is on this. On one hand, they pled guilty to working with a foreign nation while holding office or being a public servant, to which i think 20 months seems quite mild. But on the other hand i think 20 months for sharing articles seems excessive.

I remember growing up, one of my dads friend ran like a pirated blockbuster. We would go to his house, and he just had bootleg movies on vhs, ps1 games, music, anything you wanted.

I remember it like it was wall up and wall down in every room of the apartment, but thats probably just my childhood memory version lol.

I remember getting my first ps1 for Christmas, already chopped (something you had to do before it could play pirates games, i dunno) and going to this guys place to pick out games.

None of the games had covers, they just came on cd's, with the title written on the disc. And like i was 7 or 8 years old, i didnt know any games, so i just picked a bunch of randoms, and my dad made sure to get a few known titles like Tekken 3 and Crash Bandicoot for me.

He even rented out pirated movies too, lol. This guy had it figured out.

The French taxi movies are so great. First one is actually good, then it turns into this budget fast and the furious, the taxi had fucking wings at one point. Love those movies.

Thats why i said the only real democracy is the Swiss.

In Switzerland you can appoint any person to be your representative, not just the pre-selected candidates, and you can keep them as your representative for as long as you trust them to actually represent your opinions.

If you know that you differ in certain topics, you can you say "hey, i'm gonna make this decision myself buddy" and then you vote on the law yourself, and he can continue to represent you in the elections you agree on.

Or if your representative betrays your trust, you can say "fuck you, i'm finding someone else" from day to day, not having to wait another 4 years to vote for another pre-selected candidate.

Democracy is supposed to mean that the people govern. Any model of democracy where your vote can be used to make decisions you disagree with, is not democratic.

Representative democracy might have been the best model 200 years ago, but in the 21st century it is dated and abused.

Where did you get that? By saying that Europe dont use a winner takes all two party system? Mention one country in Europe that does.

You know what, even if you can mention one, it doesnt change the fact that almost every country in Europe doesnt 🤷‍♂️
