After a bit of searching I think people generally mean gnome 3 when they say gnome and gnome 2 is now known as Mate.

Is it gnome 3 (shell)?

I mean you’re right but your expectations on political freedom are indeed unrealistic in the current order. The US isn’t functioning very well as a democracy but even in countries where democracy is mostly working the options aren’t all that much better.

In Sweden we don’t have first past the post. I don’t see any major issues with our voting system. Any party that gets at least 4% has a place in the parliament. The left still struggles immensely and seems kind of bewildered. Our alt right party just keeps growing.

This is wild speculation but I’m not even sure the Biden administration understands what people want at this point though. I see sort of the same problem in Swedish politics. Left wing politics has stagnated and doesn’t understand how to win people over. Alt right is growing.

The major difference is that we don’t have first past the post so even when our alt right party is second largest and the right is in government their influence is somewhat limited. They certainly get to ship their agenda but at least there are others in the room with a voice when they do.

AFAIU the Spanish civil war was lost to fascists because the opposition couldn’t unite.

It’s not the responsibility of any one faction to avoid infighting but it is everyone’s responsibility to find common ground.

History rhymes.

Yes you need to acknowledge that your democracy is broken. Letting Trump burn the last of it won’t fix it though.

Hellblade 2 is coming.

Edit: The atmosphere in the first 10-30 minutes of Hellblade is absolutely stunning. I haven’t played through it yet though. I think I’m afraid that it will be a disappointment and that the initial experience, which really is amazing, will be ruined.

The only things I’ve watched of these is Rogue One and Andor and I doubt the other things is up in the same class but I might be wrong.
