Is there a list of all the stuff implemented by far right governments in the "West" ?
  • Syldon Syldon Now 100%

    You realise all of those adverbs are subjective in themselves as they a led by the terms "feature aspects of" and "tends". There is no definition that specifies in exact terms because each political sphere is different. Even your final definition has a prediction embedded which is impossible to prove.

  • Is there a list of all the stuff implemented by far right governments in the "West" ?
  • Syldon Syldon Now 50%

    Far rightwing is a subjective view. What is far right in most west countries is nothing on the scale of some 3rd world nations.

  • Post Office under criminal investigation for potential fraud over Horizon scandal
  • Syldon Syldon Now 100%

    Individuals covered it up. They should serve a lot of time for what they did to a lot of people's lives. Many innocent people were accused convicted and livelihoods destroyed. Labour really need to look at this once in power. It is a massive disgrace.

  • Depop, Vinted and other apps to share more information with HMRC
  • Syldon Syldon Now 50%

    Labour didn't do anything about back then because it was not an issue.

    Data farming is a fairly recent abuse. The Tories have just pushed two laws: one was the right to view any bank accounts that are receiving benefits and the other is the right to send spam mail out while campaigning. The first is an abuse towards those without money, as well as a data farming action. The second is what the Cambridge Analytica scandal was about.

    This is very much a Tory driven initiative. Labour probably won't address the issue because it is not visibly destructive. Everything will be about appearance when they come to power. Anything that the Tory media can get hold of to stain the Labour government will be pushed front and centre. Much like the beergate campaign was.

  • Trump attorney says voters mustn’t think that ex-president has legal problems

    Then Trump's lawyer should stop trying to stall the court dates. All could be sorted if they just went to court and made their case. Instead they keep using stupid stalling tactics in an attempt to push the verdict beyond the election time. All so Trump can pardon himself and avoid the issue of having to face up to his actions.

  • Syldon Syldon Now 100%

    It would probably be better if you said the game that you wanted to do this with.

    and

    Private is subjective. Do you mean as solo play or with friends. Most games have options to cover both instances.

  • Syldon Syldon Now 100%

    I think we have all seen that there is no guarantees with politics these days. So no, that is not an option if I want to remove the Tories. Give me PR voting then I will vote for what I want, rather than what I don't want, which is the case currently.

    In your opinion. Most of the world has a different opinion. I wont bother responding to your alternate account. Seriously, using two accounts to barrack a differing opinion, sigh.

    You state a lot of BS while providing absolutely no evidence to give it any credit, other than your bias towards the west. What links does this guy have to "wired" or the many other media sources that show exactly what is going on in China.

    They literally have 9 parties

    Does dissuade from the fact that only Communist-party backed candidates can appear in the election. This was the reason there were so many rioters in HK. And hence, why so many were imprisoned or ran from the country for asylum elsewhere.

    That propaganda:

    Propaganda is a made up narrative to persuade an objective viewpoint. What is happening with Uighurs has a lot of factual video evidence, including first hand reports from those who fled to Türkiye. If it is so untrue why won't China allow visiting diplomats talk about it?

    is old news that was abandoned when the area opened up for tourism again, and there were magically no camps

    Unbelievably crass opinion. https://www.wired.com/story/xinjiang-uyghur-culture-tourism/

    Talking to locals about the camps was impossible. “You can’t really talk to them, because then you’re putting them in danger,” Wack says. “If you mention anything political, they cut the conversation short.” Because he couldn’t visit the camps themselves, he was forced to suggest their presence by documenting how the region has changed. For decades, the Communist Party has been trying to eliminate markers of Uyghur identity and remake Xinjiang so that it appears more “Chinese.” As part of the Belt and Road Initiative, the government has been building major infrastructure projects like high-speed trains and superhighways through the remote province. It has also encouraged Han Chinese, the country’s dominant ethnic group, to move to the area in order to dilute the percentage of Uyghurs living there.

    Notice how you didn’t include any evidence of Xi being a dictator

    Aside from the fact that no one is allowed to run for elections unless they have party approval. China doesn't even try to hide that there is no real democracy there.

    Proving incompetence is a higher bar than at will employment actually

    Subjective.

    They materially don’t.

    Again subjective.

    China isnt involved in carrying out a genocide rn, and China hasn’t destabilized the middle east through mass violence. China is better.

    Come on. Uighurs must surely count as human beings. That is just plain wrong man.

    Hitler's party was elected in, much like the UK prime minister is not actually elected. Hitler still had to win a seat in the Reichstag, so.....

    Putin is a dictator. No one is allowed to stand against him. In the current election the 29 candidates who have tried to stand have had that right taken away from them for one reason or another. Putin has the final say on what goes on in Russia. Putin and Xi may have the illusion of being recalled, but it will not happen. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either spouting propaganda or one very gullible individual.

    I can easily believe that the GOP are creating problem for the LBGQT community, but they are soon to be ousted from any power they posses. Many of the gerrymandering that has gone on has been reversed or will be in time for the next elections. In NY state alone this will be enough to overturn the lead the GOP has on blocking legislation.

    As for the "at will employment" law China has exactly the same thing.

    The reasons for dismissal with prior notice, which are not attributable to the faults of the employee, include incompetence even after training or a transfer of position, non-work-related illness, and a change in the objective circumstances on which the labour contract was originally concluded.

    Where the incompetance is discretionary then there is little an employee can do to protect himself.

    The USA has National anti discrimination laws, China has no discriminatory laws, but also has nothing to protect an individual.

    So your idea that China is a better place to be doesn't really hold water in my opinion. Yes, there are some republican states that are making things hard, but this is a very short lived episode in US politics imo.

    Since 2020 China literally has more workplace protections for trans people than the US

    So does this mean China has better protection ? This is not a valid comment unless they are both starting from the same point.

    Also Xi isn’t a dictator. He was literally elected by a democratic assembly.

    Adolf Hitler was elected, as was Putin. All are essentially the sole control of their countries. Being a dictator is not summarised by the method you gain power; it is what you do with that power after it obtained.

    The last paragraph just about sums it all up. >The choice is Labour’s, to go on trying to secure narrow, shallow and occasional FPTP victories on policies only acceptable to those who want nothing to change, especially on climate, or mobilise and build the progressive majority that exists in our country. Infrequent, weak single party government or strong progressive alliances most of the time? The flick of a switch in terms of how we count votes is a game changer for progressives and the planet. I don't want a system that relies on the least worst option. This system is low hanging fruit for abusive regimes with a war chest to spend on campaigns.

An immense waste of tax payer's money, and a wholly barbaric policy, on what is nothing more than political games to con the public.

My personal opinion is that Labour do not want to talk about Brexit until they can stop the Tory media telling lies on the subject. We will only get one shot at reversing this fiasco, so they want to get it right. With Labour I agree on this. Let it lie until we can have some actual facts on the matter. Any discussions with current media throwing in their bias is swayed by those who have pocketed billions from the Misery imposed over Brexit.
