  • In addition to what the other comment said, FPTP causes the Overton Window to continually shift right. As the political right party takes even more radical positions and rallies/propagandises people to support that radical position, in order to gather enough voters to stand a chance the political left party moves rightward to pull the more moderate right-wing voter’s.






  • If reddit is anything to go by, which I expect it is, people don’t click through to the article. But they see the headline and the news platform and take that as evidence enough.

    I wonder whether news not being on social media is almost better? It prevents that behaviour, meaning less impact from inflammatory and sensationalised headlines, and forces consumers that actually want news to go and find it directly - in the process being more likely to actually read an article and be more informed.

    Your argument here is that - based on one study suggesting that balanitis falls from 3-11% of males to 2-7.5% of genitally-mutilated males justifies the systemic mutilation of all males in the US?

    This is not a medically or scientifically sound argument.
