You are making a normative claim (what you want). Not a nominal one (what is). Completely irrelevant, the UK cannot be outside of Europe geographically because of your feelings.

It's not the government paying, its you.

Are you thick? Europe is a geographical area, not the EU. It's like saying Switzerland is not in Europe.

Should cannabis and other currently illegal substances remain as such?

Agreed, instead of focusing on the rampant fraud happening under their watch they are focusing on consensual behaviour between adults.

No, the scammers running those are voting for them.

Thinking that Reddit has any resemblance to reality is what is stupid.

Are you counting the fakes and the bots?

Moreover, as sibling pointed out, content creator != visitor.

If Reddit was a representative sample of reality, all governments in the West would have been ran by gay race Communists.

Reddit is a very small subsection of the Internet consisting mainly of basement-dweller radical leftist they/thems. We should not be taking them as a representative sample of the average Anthropic user.

> you can predict decisions of politicians more often than not

What makes you believe this? The performance of economist/sociology experts using game theory to make predictions has been worse than a coin-flip up to this point. It also has done enormous damage.

More like a victim of woke propagandizing not being very popular with the average viewer.

Humans are a resource for the government? Jesus man, slavery has been abolished in the West.

Very nuanced take, thank you for your insight.

A lot of posts getting up to arms about experimentation on a handful of human brain cells, but the same people are in favour of murdering fetuses. The cognitive dissonance of this community never ceases to amaze.
