Verbal tea? Mmm, will go perfectly with my word salad.

I think that “of consequences” needs to be on there amnd it should be chaotic evil

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.

Hmm… Volt?

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’d also like to see something like this for the Internet Archive. Essentially a federated archive.

How does one find about these jobs? I think my dream job will be something obscure like this but I don’t know what to pick for university because I don’t know what obscure job it’ll be.

They must have spent millions to get it on there

God was their AI.
