      They’ve voted for conservatives 10 years running, even after realising that those same conservatives tricked them into Brexit…

      …it’s a pretty ridiculous situation.

        The annoying thing is that we haven’t really voted for conservatives.

        Because of FPTP, it’s normal that ~35% of votes translates to having 100% of the say in governance, which is crazy.

        And the worst part is that when multiple parties have anti-Tory stances, all that does is split the anti-Tory vote and hand the Conservative party more power.

        I’m looking forward to next year when after 14 years of their bullshit it seems like they’re finally going to be forced out.

        Feelin the same here in the Land of Milk and Honey.

        I know that people are scared and unsure, and that always leads them directly to authoritarianism (it did after the 1918 pandemic as well, seemingly). They want to feel safe. And any big liars and charlatans that tell them whatever they want to hear to satiate their fears, they’ll believe and follow. At this point I’m flummoxed. But I know that humans are built to adapt, and all this will all soon pass as well; in the big scope of things.

      Like VPNs. Pretty simple.

      Downside is it will push teens to free VPNs and those are almost always malicious.

      Absolutely assinine regulatory decision brewed by people that do not understand how the world or people work at all.

        They understand fine, but they’re pandering to people who aren’t capable of understanding.

      You know all those multicolored hats finding exploits and creating botnets and such?

      Boy am I interested in hearing about some obscure specializations and hacks in about 10 years. I bet Jack Rhysider is already getting excited.
