Fair enough.

Putting a question mark after “I disagree” makes it sound like you’re trying to convey that the disagreement is faint or in doubt, btw.

No, it was in 2020.

particularly women with some sort of past trauma that gives them an instinctual fear response

forcing politicians to vote along party lines

They are not forced to vote along party lines. However, they don’t get to stay in the party unless they vote with it. They become Independent.

I think arseholes are distributed evenly too.

If 5% of all people are arseholes, everywhere, then a country with 50 million people has 2.5 million arseholes. But a country with 1,428,000,000 people has over 71 million arseholes. This is why they seem to be over represented by the large nations.

You are right that we are more likely to notice them if they travel near us or communicate in a language we understand. This is why Estonians are more likely to think badly of Finns whereas South Africans are more likely to think badly of Nigerians.

Killing civilians doesn’t avenge anything, no matter who does it.
