  • Content curation.

    I upvote or leave neutral opinions and arguments I disagree with if they’re well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.

    I don’t know how you feel when your posts get sum-negative scores, but it makes me feel rejected and makes me not want to participate. I receive it as a social indicator. I see it as something that leads us towards echo chambers.













  • Could be that the number is just so low it doesn’t necessarily indicate a systematic issue yet. I’m sure a few have always been held because of inadequate documents or whatever.

    Of course, we can all see the political shift, and it’s horrible for the people involved. I would have liked to see a more loud and bold response. But for an institution maybe it’s not that time yet, until they know what the accusations and proceedings are.

    My mission is to guide you through the political challenges we all face in the 21st century.

    I’m a philosopher. My academic life focuses on the concept of freedom and I’m writing a book about Isaiah Berlin. I’m a British citizen living in London. I was born in Soviet Russia - I left before the collapse of the USSR. I continue to closely analyse Russian politics.




  • I’m not sure even with a successful election and it going to the democrats we’ll be able to tell. At least from today’s view. It will largely depend on how institutions and the justice/court system can hold out against the current administration right now and during this phase.

    I feel like they may have already created damage that won’t be cleared just from one election or one election period’s fixups.

    At the same time, hopefully, this is the wake-up call for opposition and a transformation one way or another. It’s plainly obvious what is happening now, and I am hoping opposition will become more apparent and prevalent because of it. Not just in citizens, but institutions too.
