Wow who could’ve guessed Russia ducked it up again

That’s the word 👍 (direct translation is people vote)

Because then we’d at least have the option, and the people who are to be sent to wars get to actually weigh what they feel.

It’s not perfect, but it’d be better

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 That doesn’t make sense as we’ve had the same information public for a hundred years before this government

Edit I reread what I wrote and I misunderstood what you meant. We’re not equal in the burden we had to bear individually, less so anymore with all the secrecy and unofficial meetings with private entities.

Sure sure. I didn’t mean so. It’s just that we had multiple governments that apparently “didn’t see it coming” on anything.

In gymnasium evidently we did a better world analysis after the Russian invasion of Crimea and subsequent illegal annexation. Placing Russian controlled agents of chaos and ruski green men in the Eastern regions.

There was no question it would continue. Trump wants to get out of NATO, we’ll see how it ends. Not only this, but we have the CCP blatantly extending their territory and tricking other nations into shitty infrastructure deals that never amount to what’s promised.

This rustles me so sorry if I’m just going on tangents

We’ve had public votes for single issues before, like nuclear power, euro, and EU.

Russian and in extension Chinese influence is mostly astroturfing opinions. They give money to entities like PragerU and others to push any conflicting information. Hence the MAGA cult.

Better believe in information war, herr Vaniljkram, you’re in one.

You can apply that to any issue. People will often vote against their best interest but it shows whether or not it was wanted.

My brother in Carl XVI Gustaf they obviously had better information that the plebian, but still systematically dismantled the military to five guys, a bucket, and a goat. I wouldn’t trust them to put their boots on the right foot

First we gave out some Kurds, be it right or wrong, then I know there were different opinions regarding our freedom of speech and burning books. And that’s just what the public knows. The real deals are made behind closed doors

NATO should’ve been put as a separate issue public vote, whatever it’s called in English. To make an international example, in the US they can vote for big shit or the lesser shit, so people vote for lesser shit, but that doesn’t mean they want lesser shit policies.

Imo it’s a big wrangled to say we voted for this, when we vote for packages and our options are severely limited. Maybe you agree?

I wonder what we gave up for Turkey to sign it. Maybe it was enough for Kristersson to celebrate his 60th birthday with a purposefully made confidential bill to taxpayers.

Funny how his government always seem to transform things that were or should be public to confidential.

Like the secret electricity support, so the ones who used much electricity when the grid was strained got a cashback. I forget the name but some people apparently had to keep their mansions and fifteen swimmingpools heated. Guess we aren’t equal after all…

A guy on lemmy told me that it’s corruption in its core, sadly

Tis a joke, some banking person said millenials wouldn’t be poor if they skipped avocado toast
