Other ways you can lose your democracy.... Using lawfare to try to take out a political opponent (ridiculous NY charge with no precedent, no victim, and from a DA who was famous for reducing felonies to misdemeanours but for Trump did the o

I was using the term "one-party state" metaphorically. I thought that would be obvious. In any case the demographics in California are now such that it is close to impossible for a Republican governor to be elected. Which means th

California politics are what you get in any one-party state which California is as a result of immigration/demographic change. Politicians rise to the top not on the basis of accountability and the contest of ideas, but due to politica

Well this rather small level of nuanced thinking you are suggesting is never applied to conservatives is it? So we'll take the same approach with liberals. What you are saying is effectively dog-whistling in support of Stalinism. And

"I probably shouldn't extrapolate this historical anecdote to the modern era..." yes cherry-picked history taken in isolation is utterly meaningless. Just for balance here's some cherries I've picked on the left sid

I'm wondering whether this is targeted and islamic beliefs are playing a role in this.

Your comment is just meaningless words disconnected from reality. And a very large number of people agree with me on some level. We saw the evidence of that at the last election. So my "bubble" is pretty large actually. What abou

The point I was making is that:- Using lawfare to try to take out a political opponent (ridiculous NY charge with no precedent, no victim, and from a DA who was famous for reducing felonies to misdemeanours but for Trump did the opposite) A

What's actually "nice"? Is it creating an industry and livelihoods for millions of people (directly or indirectly)? Or is it smiling and making people in the room feel comfortable?

I dunno...I dont think Ive seen a bunch of more clueless people than in the HN comment section. Of course there are lots of equally clueless people elsewhere but what makes HN dangerous is the people really think they know.

Yes and quite possibly alot of this was due to US pressure. The EU has been quite happy to freeload till very recently. It's possible that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine at all if the EU hadnt been so weak militarily and so stup
