I don’t agree with Zizek on everything, but in his ‘debate’ with that lobster Kermit guy he said something to the effect of ‘China is a tragedy because it is a model for the future of governance.’

If you like Dwarf Fortress’s adventure mode, and don’t mind a swap to a high sci fi setting: please give this game a shot, it’s the cheapest price it has had so far

What many democracies around the world are missing is greater recallability in offices. Citizens need to be able to easily oust people nonviolently.

Can confirm. I struggled to remember the name of the ancient website vampirefreaks after the concept came up in conversation and out of the big search engines only Bing’s flavor of chatGPT could tell me what I was looking for.
