I can recommend readsettlers.org for an in-depth view at race-relations over the centuries.

The gist is that race is defined by an ingroup and is pretty flexible depending on who they consider to be part. Irish people weren't in when they were an economic threat to the other laborers. Now they part of the higher laborclass so they are "in". So depending on the relation of the privileged laborclass to a particular nation that nation might be considered white or not. Exceptions and ifs and buts apply liberally ofcourse.

Suggestions for when it becomes too long? Would ♂ work? I have 4 extra characters to work with.

With the standard length being 24 characters " [he/him]" would reduce it to 15 characters, " [she/her]" to 14 and " [they/them]" to 12 characters, which is really short for a username imo.

Lemm.ee apparently has it further reduced to 20.

Our "democracy" is pathetic and we really shouldn't put up with it.

I have never seen important policy being decided by what the populace thinks. Like ever. If anything people have to protest loudly and organise to raise hell and even then it will silently be swept aside a month or two later.

Remember the huge anti-nazi demonstrations across the republic that even olaf scholz appeared at? Whatever happened because of that? Or fridays for future? The only change there has been that it is trendy to be ecofriendly now and so corporations try to put on a facade to sell their stuff but we are not going to meet our "goals" and meanwhile china is about to meet the climate goals they have set for 2030. The last time the population was consulted was to get the opinion on daylight savings and even then the project was scrapped.

Feel free to change my mind but it's going to be tough.

Edit: this actually got me going, the fact that it has "some sway" during the consultation phase shows how bankrupt the whole system really is, because the industrialists and lobbyists get a seat at the table but the best we can hope for is to leave some comments on the internet that might be taken into consideration?

Blödsinn es gibt niemanden der ernsthaft denke russland wäre kommunistisch. Wagenknechts außenpolitik hat aber eine deutliche linksprägung auch wenn sie in anderen gebieten einen reaktionären standpunkt vertritt
