The catch is that the politicians who promise electoral reforms would have to be able to win in the current system. And why would they want to change a system is which they are winners?

Trudeau promised electoral reform in Canada, which some people foolishly believed. The federal Liberal Party has won under the first past the post system many times in the past. It makes no sense to expect them to suddenly give an advantage to the underdogs.

sees the whole world doing something

Look how the West has influenced the world!

I think this more of an indication that conservatism is not a strictly Western thing.

Did you eat it raw? Or like ...how did you notice it was warm? Usually eggs get pretty hot when they're cooked.

This works great for highly educated white collars!

Not for the other 70%+ of the workforce though.

That may be the case but it is not a rebuttal to my point.

Those things have had an influence on the perception of masculinity. And yes, TERFs have had an influence on the perception of feminism. And simply saying they don't count isn't an effective way of countering that influence.

He seems to be arguing against transparency and doesn't really provide any reasons other than the company wanting to keep their negotiation info secret, which would seem to give an advantage to the company.

He spends a lot of time repeating his point in various ways without actually providing any reasoning except one sentence mentioning the above.

I agree with him that unions need to make a better effort to seek input from the members, but I'm far from convinced on his main point.

Just because you don't think so doesn't mean those things haven't had influence on the cultural perception of it.

I understand the desire to separate yourself from those things as an individual. And I don't know what method will work, but simply telling people the "manosphere" just doesn't count isn't going to change anyone's minds.

This, like every argument about executive pay, just demonstrates how overpaid those similar private sector jobs are.

You are making an argument against private sector pay, not for MP pay.

But you're not. Trump is still living a lavish life full of excess, despite his debts.

Wealth is about lifestyle, not numbers.

Panik: your Debian stable system is so ancient it still contains the heartbleed bug.
