As an extra tidbit the link I put in the post shows that the USA and Australia are the only place where people who are centrist are more likely to accept authoritarianism than both left and right leaning voters.
I mean sure but if you get hacked (which will eventually happen to someone if this is rolled out) just having the information stored in the first place becomes a risk. So I think it is better to not have it in the first place.
I can’t blame some New Caledonians for wanting to remain a part of France.
The people that are affected by the racism want to be independent and the people that aren’t want to stay a part of France. So the cost isn’t spread evenly, that’s why there is this huge problem in the first place.
Yeah from what I understand the situation there is complicated. A majority of the people that live in New Caledonia want to stay a part of France and that majority is made of mostly the Europeans and the other migrants.
However the Kanak are socioeconomically disadvantaged compared to the rest of the state and they feel like they aren’t being represented enough (due to a slim minority) on what they consider aboriginal land (even though other people have been living there for a long time too).
Most don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, apathetic and afraid, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade their own people to stay out of politics, and above all to convince them that there is no democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong. The democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.
Beyond that if you are insinuating that it is a coordinated campaign of people doing this, I mean yeah that’s probably true to some extent. But the reason why they are targeting that is because they know it is a weak point.
So posting an article showing that the cost of living is going down would make that kind of sentiment less justified.
