  • I sometimes have quite a strong accent irl. In my head I don't.

  • I meant it more in the context of mental health

  • Showerthoughts @lemmy.world

    Evading suffering is itself a form of suffering

  • I think that "of consequences" needs to be on there amnd it should be chaotic evil

  • There's also MERA25 (lead by the likes of Slavoj Žižek and Jannis Ver.). I quite liked them but they (and other pan-euro parties) have no chance of winning seats so long as the seats are distributed within each country separately.

  • Hmm... Volt?

  • Imo this comes at least partially down to the generic pattern of representatives becoming more conformist when they get into power. In my country for example we have a Pirate party, and they were quite radically progressive when they were founded but as they got into parliament+govt they became more centrist. You see this happen in many countries. I wouldn't immediately jump to the conclusion that they are being 'vetted' by hidden elites, I think it's very possible that its just an effect of the incentives you face in the process of competing in elections, facing the media, the environment in a parliament, etc. etc. But even if the latter is the case, it wouldn't be a good thing since you have a diverse set of representatives representing a diverse society, and if the democratic system molds them to have a uniform set of traits then you are losing accuracy of that representation.

  • At least for our civiliſation, there would always be the echoes of ſignals like the Aracebo Meſſage that would be around for future civiliſations to catch regardleſs of what happened here on Earth.
