> the most stable country in the world That joke aged well...

Ahh, nostalgia: https://www.box-look.org/p/164...

Yup. https://www.tabletmag.com/sect...

That sounds like they actually respect freedom of speech unlike Meta et al that shape narratives according to their political handlers' guideline. It's the law enforcement's job to find instances of criminal behavior and notify messaging plarforms to remove it, not the prerogative of the platfrom itself.

The difference between Rocky and Alma is that Alma repackages new major RHEL releases several weeks faster as evidenced by v9, so I'd go with them.

Too little too late. It could have even worked to a degree when the economy was booming but never in a global recession. Tumultous times are ahead and it's in the air, everywhere.

The 1984 is coming and you are being primed to cheer it on.

"If for you a society where the majority does not rule can be called a democracy, you are beyond help." Keep trying to "say the last word". I have all the time in the world.

But to address the ridiculous mention of minority governments -- they are comprised of a coalition of parties that with their combined votes represent the majority of voters, otherwise the coalition would not work. So a "minority" government still represents the majority of people and it is a democracy.

The irony of you trying to call white black is indeed of monumental proportions. Well, I am done with you, there is nothing else to be said, only repeat : "If for you a society where the majority does not rule can be called a democracy, you are beyond help."

Oh, back to argumentum ad verecundiam again, pathetic. If for you a society where the majority does not rule can be called a democracy, you are beyond help.

> Pretty sure I havent. Feel free to show me how I have though. Yes, you have. Just one comment before: "Your claim doesnt seem to be supported by the definition of democracy https://www.merriam-webster.co... [merriam-webster.com]: government by the people especially : rule of the majority Majority does not rule either in USA or Canada.

You provided a definition yourself and now literally are contradicting it. Democracy is when the majority rules. Period. Canada and USA are not true democracies by this definition, whether you like it or not. Your argumentum ad verecundiam is laughable.

> In both the US and Canada the people governed still determine the government. I don't see how this is valid when the majority of people in Canada voted for one party but the cabinet and the PM belong to another. Or the same with POTUS.

It's a very weak strawman argument you are trying to defeat here -- I never said that "we're living in a horribly tyrannical country". What it means is that we and Canada live in undemocratic countries.Demos means people.
