Conscription is a hindrance to joining wars far away. By and large, a country’s citizens do not want to go to war outside its borders. On the other hand, countries with professional militaries are relatively free to conduct warfare abroad without the populace getting angry, see the US.
Also, like, the absence of a direct causal link does not mean two things have nothing to do with each other.
yeah nothing to do with the war in ukraine
Congestion pricing should be introduced in all major cities.
The point is, there is nothing that special about US politics, and to better understand US politics, you should try to understand the political systems of other countries.
EDIT: even under this same post there is completely meaningless speculation about whether the US can overcome the two party system. While there is a real life case study about this that you could look at, New Zealand. They had the same voting system. They had the same two party structure. Both former british colonies.
I am just kind of tired of americans writing shit like this
every single brief look at any historical voting pattern will tell you this is wrong
and when you look inside, it’s patterns from the us in the past 50 years
Please analyze more than one country before drawing sweeping conclusions
Well, obviously he doesn’t care, but a lot of other people in his vicinity care equally little
they don’t give a fuck
seeing them is part of that free labor
Yeah, people adding to your workload as an unpaid worker is annoying…
Some further context: I did answer a handful stackoverflow questions some years ago. No, I never complained to anybody about people asking dumb questions or whatever. But actually coming up with answers was real work and not easy, even though I was knowledgeable in the topics I answered questions in. In fact, it was too much work for me, and I stopped doing it.
So I am generally sympathetic to anybody who takes the time to do it.
I don’t know man… If I were to provide free labor I would also be pissed if people kept asking the same questions again and again
EDIT: mind you, I am talking using the site in about ~2014, and the number of answered questions has obviously just increased after that
People asked questions on Stackoverflow? There was an answer to 95% of the relevant questions already, and if there wasn’t, well, I didn’t think somebody would come up with the correct answer before my deadline.

Depends on the country?
Well, you know, that’s just like uh, your opinion, man
That does not sound like a charitable interpretation of my argument. For example
A woman in Smolensk was fined for posting a historical photo of her home under Nazi occupation, where a Wehrmacht flag and soldiers appeared in the background.
This has nothing to do with well-defined instances of hate speech. Even the Putin example is quite far fetched, though I guess I should have used a more precise example
Specific well-defined instances of hate speech like “all members of group XYZ deserve to die” should be banned IMO. More ambiguous things should not, otherwise the government can start banning political sentiments that it does not like.
Africa would be generally interesting. Last time I visited (west africa), most transport was by foot, scooter taxis, or ridesharing/paid hitchiking on personal cars. Those don’t really neatly fall in any of the categories in the infographic.
