I'm amazed, that we still have serious believers like him after Flatearthers were literary taken to Antarctica and allowed to perform what ever experiment they wanted to prove their claims...

"The project served as a peaceful protest against world hunger and environmental damage. It asked the public to consider what is truly more valuable to the survival of humanity: accumulation of financial wealth or the preservation of the food and natural resources that keep us alive."

"Winston Churchill Takes The London Underground (Full Scene) | Darkest Hour" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcOerYLNXnU

This is a very accurate depiction of London during the Blitz. Winston always been a very sociable person and a great leader during his entire life. He always had the best interest of the British Empire in mind and despite being a noble, he actually understood the average brit well. He was a great historian and painter.

@freepatriot Is this a serious post? You have to be living under a rock, if you think this is only a thing for the future. This is the present and the past to some extent. It started with consumerism, where you had the option to distract yourself with anything you wanted as long as you could afford it. And now, on the internet you can get it for free for the most part. It's called Doom Scrolling.

@sardonicsmile You can frame it like this or you can just look at it as a reasonable thing to do.

This is technically a body cam for school buses and as it's been shown in the video, it's aimed to catch one specific information. It'll only record your licence plate, if you pass the bus, what you shouldn't do, without stopping, since it's a truck, that block your vision. This is a reasonable improvement to speed up dispute resolutions.

This video is a click bait and an outrage p*rn.

@freepatriot I think this video will serve just fine as an answer:

"Protesting : Foamy The Squirre" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3biVsChXGGA

@wejappe And they're 100% correct. They don't waste time and energy on topics, that have no effect on them and they can't change. The work of the secret service isn't the average voters business, because have a much harder job, than they do.

@solosailor Yes, New York have a reputation, just like London. It's probably just the matter of time, before Paris lose it's french mayor too. Maybe Berlin can be put on this list too. Although I haven't heard Paris level problems coming from there.

@freepatriot The USA isn't a police state. That title still belongs to the UK. Yes, you have some dumb laws, that the police have to enforce, but I can assure you, that you would found the UK far more sufficating. Not to mention actually extreme places like Iran or North Korea. Russia and China also pretty restrictive, but that's mostly because they don't want to americanized and they're technically autocracies.

@shortstories Yes, you mentioned the part where they can leave, if they didn't liked it. That's how communism and nazism started out too. However, you still want to dictate culture and the outcome. Every example of this in history lead to ruin. You can see this with wokeness culture too. You're literary the other side of the same coin and would lead to same outcome. This type of thinking alienate smart people regardless which political extreme they represent.

@freepatriot No, the "Elites" aren't this dumb. They can afford smart people to tell them how to do it better.

@shortstories Communism had a system like this. 😀 Re-education in the Gulag. That system also had great results in fairness.

@shortstories Okay. So it's not a voting problem then. It's just basic political corruption. You can't fix that with this method. Anyone with money can participate. And there are laws against bribery already. So, they just go around it. "Politician getting paid for giving a speech in a private event."

@shortstories At this point why not just ask for a dictatorship? You literary trying to game the system to get the results you want. This is literary what your Government is doing right now.

@shortstories Why do you think, that math skills would properly filter out problem people? I'm pretty sure, that the welfare sponges are good enough at math to calculate how to maximize their gains.

@shortstories For the USA, removing dead people and illegals by actually requiring an Identification would be far more impactful. And the people in the 2% category are likely just as informed about politics as the average person who vote based on looks and information they heard during campaing season. You give way too much credit for the average voter. This was studied already. "Human Nature - The Halo Effect " - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuLt8M2vySM

@shortstories The mental health field have a process of determining someones ability of self governance and it's a pretty detailed process. The people you want to remove from voting are already removed from voting. Also, the actual low IQ population is around 2%. So they would'nt make much difference. The current system was voted in by people who would pass your test.
