@tombruhcks The number of parties / election coalition is orthogonal to the number of candidates per seat (primary or general), though?

@SocDoneLeft yes. in fact the DFRK was dissolved so we still have to see what the status of the KSDP and Chondoist Party is

@tombruhcks Yes! This was the local reform -- I was hoping to see it for national elections.

@tombruhcks Yes in 2023, not in 2026 though, right? (Local vs national obvs.)

@tombruhcks You're correct, this post was a joke. :p The 2023 election was interesting because it was the 1st in ~60 years to announce the official % "yes" voters (99.9%), not just turnout (99.63). I'd hoped that might signal the first step toward multi-candidate elections, sadly wrong.

@SocDoneLeft That 99.63% figure is the official turnout for the 2023 local elections, the pro-WPK voting figures were 99.91% and 99.87% for province and city/county. This recent election was a parliamentary election

Incredible post. I had no idea the industrial policy that helped spawn the world's biggest semiconductor manufacturer traces directly back to the New Deal's Tennessee Valley Authority.

Neat profile of Taiwan's "Industrial Technology Research Institute", a government-funded lab which helped spin out TSMC and much of Taiwan's chip industry. One of the most impressive industrial policy plays of all time. asteriskmag.com/issues/13/the-…

@sigmahamster2 @FreeNortherner It does (and a few other demographic variables). I do wonder if other variables (eg, state? NY-NJ are known to have higher giving due to a multi-century tradition of charity work there, and also have ~80% of Jewish people) might be hidden covariates.

@SocDoneLeft @FreeNortherner Seems like a good paper. Other papers I’ve seen include religious donations which seems weird, which ofc skews religious people upward. I’m guessing this paper here controls for income bc presumably some groups are richer than others.

@trixmph @FreeNortherner You have never in your life heard about the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Yet you immediately concluded that it was "biased" because it disagreed with you. Drop the peasant brain. Sometimes studies disagree with me. That doesn't make them "biased".

@DK8675 Reinoehl is in the data! If it's routine, and I've undercounted it, you should be able to find several un-included examples not in the dataset (and not explained in the data_dropped tab). x.com/SocDoneLeft/st…

1. Yes, theocrats are right wing, whether Christian or Muslim. 2. No more than 25 people died during riots after BLM protests. Of those, just 3 were politically motivated, all included above. The rest? Police shootings, felony murders, accidents. x.com/ColdxSteel73/s…

@SocDoneLeft "Attacks on property" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Take your rose colored glasses off. Leftist routinely assault GOP and MAGA supporters. Aaron Donaldson or Kyle Rittenhouse ring any bells?

@tompainebkclub This data series starts in 2006, five years after the attacks. It also does not include the OKC bombing, because that also happened before 2006. Theocracy is right wing, whether Muslim or Christian, yes. T Paine would agree.

@SocDoneLeft It is laughable that these same stats include Islamic terror attacks (9/11) in their numbers, including other laughable “right wing” labeled violence. Garbage.

@DK8675 One caveat: That CSIS graph includes all "attacks" (including 0-death) and "plots". Most leftist "terror" are purely attacks on property. But yes: Leftist political killing has increased. That's bad! Rightist political killing has hugely declined. Unclear why. But that's good!

@SocDoneLeft Lets assume your data is correct. You cant deny Right wing terror is on the decline while left wing terror is on the rise. Instead of whataboutism, why dont you start cleaning up your own house?

On average, about 1 in 1,300 murders are politically motivated. You are about 2,000 times more likely to die in a car crash than political murder. We do not live in the Years Of Lead. Walsh is fearmongering to justify political repression. Don't buy the propaganda.
