Interesting, I did not know Wikimedia was politically aligned. If there's an organisation that I wouldn't like to be politically aligned, it would be an encyclopedia. But hey, here we are; enjoy the ride.

Nuclear is clean and sustainable and can allow people to mine bitcoin and even heat their homes, which seems to be a problem currently in some regions of Europe.

Some societies have determined that some people have commited such abominable deeds that they simply no longer have a right to live. Doesn't sound very barbaric to me.

Coming to this website every day to get downvoted and flagged is something not to worry about. I mean, have you read the things people say here? The ideas that are popular? Do you really want to be "the upvoted guy"?
