  • Dawg, I’m sorry but you just are completely out of the realm of objective fact here.

    US definitely suppresses voters, and voter registration/eligibility. All the money and zionist media, and Zionazi first DNC who exist to “gaslight the left into supporting Israel”, but are perfectly happy if candidate the least “unencumbered to finish the job of genocide” is elected

    I didn’t say the US was a perfect democracy, or that there isn’t voter suppression. I’m saying that votes are counted correctly in the US, and the results of any federal election in the US is the person who received the winning distribution of votes.

    There are statistical models for detecting ballot stuffing, and many countries have very robust vote counting systems. Additionally, many independent sources poll voting booths and their numbers are often very close to the official results.

    Votes are counted accurately in western countries, there is no evidence of ballot stuffing.

    If there was evidence of ballot stuffing, wouldn’t at least one journalism site tell everyone about it?

    You are told that the other countries fake their votes with 0 evidence

    There is overwhelming evidence for dictators like Lukashanka and Putin faking elections.

    One consolidation of election fraud attempts in Belarus 2020:

    Another consolidation of election fraud reports in Belarus 2019:

    Russia bans international vote counters from participating in Russian elections:

    Multiple sources on Wikipedia have used statistical analysis to show evidence of ballot stuffing:

    You just choose to believe that because CIA/State department are the “good guys” who love you and would never lie to you or manufacture propaganda for warmongering purposes. Domino theory that has existed since Korean war (anti democracy initiative to prevent North winning election to unify Korea) and whose absurdity exists today with “Russia will invade rest of peaceful loving Europe if Ukraine falls, and China will be emboldened to invade Taiwan if we don’t spend another $200B on Ukraine suicidal diminishment of Russia” is an obvious platform for any and all lies to achieve the demonic propaganda goals.

    Even if all of this was true, and you’re OK with treating Finns, Ukrainians, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Taiwanese as NPCs who are brainwashed by the CIA: That doesn’t mean democracy is fake! There are plenty of current and historical imperialist democracies, look at the US, look at the UK, look at France, look at Nazi Germany, look at Italy, look at basically all of Europe in the 1920s, look at Israel. Just because a state is doing evil things, doesn’t mean that a plurality of people in that country don’t support doing those evil things.

    The humanist outlook on the world is “Hey, Russia or Chinese government structure is not what we prefer. We won’t copy them.” instead of everyone must submit or be destroyed.

    Nobody has proposed destroying the current Russian, PRC, or US regimes. Peaceful resistence to their anti-democratic propaganda and their imperialism is mandatory as an ethical humanist.

    Exactly. Subhuman demonic evil is needed to subjugate humans. Hasbara that these are democratic ideals is part of the demonic evil.

    I didn’t say that coercive deplomacy has anything to do with democratic idels, just that it is a necessary tool for liberal states and societies to respond to the paradox of tolerance.







  • Trolleybusses and trams are basically indestructible. Normal busses only last like 20 years, electric busses even shorter, but trolleybusses and trams will last 100 years with proper maintenance. The only big wear part is really the tires on trolleybusses, which doesn’t affect trams.

    The main reason why old trams aren’t run anymore is just because they’re a bit small and noisy and not wheelchair accessible. That and car companies convinced cities to pave over their tram lines to be able to sell more cars.
