Yes, the illusion of choice by the opposition party. Even during an election they barely differentiate. It descends from policy into brand marketing that makes me wonder if I only now get the joke behind the Duff Bowl in that old Simpsons episode.
- werwqweqwe 5y agoHave people here read "Game of Mates" by Cameron Murray and Paul Frijters? I found it hugely illuminating and I really felt like it described mechanisms, and identified dynamics, which I had been aware of but only vaguely able to articulate. Of course the obvious question, is what can concerned citizens do?

I've given up trying to convince people of the government encroachments. In the end, nobody will care anyway as long as they can drink their Victory Gin.
