Random redditor: This is just like russia!!
Alternative voting systems have in practice been proven useless, whether in South Korea, Japan, Australia, and many other capitalist dictatorship countries that use it. It might make bribery a bit more expensive, since there are more candidates to buy off, and more political advertising necessary, but it hasn’t fixed anything.
The root problem is capital standing above political power. And that can’t be undone using it’s own platform.
Read the issue above for why. Vote manipulation is a real problem, but making all votes public is not the solution anyone wants. Limiting vote viewing to admins and mods is decided on as the best of both worlds.
Also that tool can only be used by specifically malicious instances whose goal it is to snoop and expose all votes. Those instances can and should be blocked.
We’ve opened up issues on other services about retaining user vote privacy, because lemmy users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on.
I want to remind everyone that since users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on (for good reason), we will never add anything like this inside lemmy, lemmy-ui, or jerboa.
While there’s nothing we can do to snoopers making tools like this, it requires a lemmy server admin login.
If you know of servers which are giving admin access to this tool, let us know, so we can add it to our blocklist.
They’ve somehow managed to convince a stunningly large number of gullible USians, that you need to eat shit to survive, or that its harm reduction or something…
Great scene.
And signal, considering its a centralized US company that has your phone number.
I’d really love an open-source WYSIWYG for android, but I’m stuck with obsidian currently.
The basis for Zenz’s sinophobia (and that of many china-watchers), is reactionary christian evangelism, which views birth control as a “sin”, so they make it their personal “crusade” to attack what they consider a heathen, non-christian state. All these far-right religious extremists also tend to be anti-semitic, so there’s not much contradiction there.

Ironically Trump is using the strategy to deport people
Trump and zenz are both white-supremacist sinophobes who would be more than happy to deport all people of chinese descent. They work for the same project and towards the same goal, global white-supremacy.
I went through that article also. They too link zenz and east turkistan separatists one article behind.
Its just a bunch of links to news articles, just like you posted. Only mine don’t reference anti-semites who work for the US state department, western state media in a desperate attempt to show that their enemies kill as many muslims as they do (including right now I might add), and reactionary east-turkistan uyghur separatists.
I’ve gone into your sources, you clearly haven’t looked past the surface.
The BBC isn’t much more than a tabloid, and its a propaganda arm run by the british state. Like that time they got caught doctoring an image from a vlogger in China to make it look depressing, then quietly reverted their change.
You claim to be “anti-state”, so you just uncritically gobble up everything british state media tells you about their enemies?
I’m not into state worship
You just believe everthing the racist hegemon who’s been bombing muslim countries for decades (and continues to do so to this day) tells you, without looking past the surface.
More sources debunking this nonsense here.
Electoral reform not only doesn’t address root causes, it doesn’t even treat the symptoms. It hasn’t prevented australia or japan from having far right governments, hasn’t returned land to indigenous peoples, hasn’t done anything against inequality, hasn’t empowered poorer peoples. All it does is make the political bribery slightly more expensive.
At a deeper level, representative elections always result in an oligarchy. The wealthy / economically dominant classes are the only ones who have enough money / prestige to finance their campaigns and win the popularity contest. It makes any political system based on elections nothing more than political theatre.
This is basic stuff even the ancient greeks knew, and communists learned through trial and error, yet liberals in the 21st century can’t wrap their heads around it.
