Dutch singer, songwriter, musician focusing on the rich Irish music trad.☘️ EU citizen. Brexit was a crime and we know who did it. FPTP creates a dictatorship of the largest minority, it divides, rewards liars and leaves way too many unrepresented.

Divisive big talk is most effective in unfair FPTP systems. It's okay to make many enemies as long as you can divide them.
In PR systems you can't afford to make too many enemies, because you need to negotiate a coalition after the elections.

In October 2020 we were racing our bicycles trying to get home before this storm. You need to be lucky to get a view angle like this. The Heineken Brewery Zoeterwoude is on the horizon.

Genocide, piracy, kidnapping, it's all okay if you are Israel.
The Dáil heard cross-party condemnation of the raid on the boats today, with a number of TDs describing the taking of the activists by Israeli forces in international waters as "piracy and kidnapping".

This is so worrying.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Does anyone in the US believe that this regime is going away within the mechanisms of the existing unfair political system?
By definition, fascism, once in, isn't going away without a price. And it's only growing.
May true democracy enter and win over the USA one day with a minimum of casualties.
