Worst case scenarios make for robust plans, but they cannot protect you from unknown unknowns (‘black swan events’)
!I think everyone on here has good intentions. But many are proactive about it to a extent where they feel a duty to ostracize anyone who doesn’t. And they immediately start suspecting anyone who hasn’t settled on their systemic solution of choice of having said bad intentions. (“If crypto-anarcho-eco-mercerism is the obvious way to stop all the bad things, why would someone advocate for anything else than because they don’t want to stop those bad things?”) I think you could have a server where 100% of people had good intentions, and they’d still end up accusing each other of dog-whistling and whatnot. Like, you don’t need to ensure you share the same value system just so you can discuss a funny cat video.!<

There’s also MERA25 (lead by the likes of Slavoj Žižek and Jannis Ver.). I quite liked them but they (and other pan-euro parties) have no chance of winning seats so long as the seats are distributed within each country separately.

Imo this comes at least partially down to the generic pattern of representatives becoming more conformist when they get into power. In my country for example we have a Pirate party, and they were quite radically progressive when they were founded but as they got into parliament+govt they became more centrist. You see this happen in many countries. I wouldn’t immediately jump to the conclusion that they are being ‘vetted’ by hidden elites, I think it’s very possible that its just an effect of the incentives you face in the process of competing in elections, facing the media, the environment in a parliament, etc. etc. But even if the latter is the case, it wouldn’t be a good thing since you have a diverse set of representatives representing a diverse society, and if the democratic system molds them to have a uniform set of traits then you are losing accuracy of that representation.

I feel so much grief for these children. I just saw those pages and pages of listings. Dozens of traumatized lives just on one list.
