Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 

Main Findings

  • Overall, 71% of all respondents, both globally and in the five countries, reported having experienced violence from the public, whether online, offline or both.
  • Violence is heavily concentrated online, with between 65% and 77% of MPs in the five countries reporting online abuse.
  • The most common forms of public intimidation overall reported by MPs are insults and degrading language, the spread of false or misleading information, and threats.
  • Most respondents believe that the situation is deteriorating. In Argentina and the Netherlands, 8 out of 10 MPs reported an increase in violence over the past five years.
  • Online violence is frequently triggered by elections, high-profile legislative debates or polarizing political or cultural issues.
  • Women are more affected than men: 76% of women MPs across the case studies reported exposure to violence, compared to 68% of men.
  • Women are disproportionately affected by gendered and sexualized forms of violence, especially online.
  • MPs who belong to minority or disadvantaged groups – including racial minorities, people with disabilities and LGBTQIA+ communities – face even greater exposure to online violence.

Which will "justify" martial-law, totalitarianism, & rampaging-exterminations, like what Iran's currently-doing to the people it ought be serving,

like Netanyahu's "Israel" is doing to Palestinians,

like Putin's "Russia" is doing to Ukraina AND to Russian-people,

like what Tianamen Square was,

like Trump's ICEing of Democrat states,

WHEN the tippingpoint is crossed, THEN civilrights will be ONLY charade, globally, & the right will .. pretty-much OWN the world.

as predicted by Haich, actually..

( Elisabeth Haich stated in the mid-1900's ( my phrasing, not hers ) that every Punctuation-time between Equilibrium-times,

aka every break between Earth's-gyroscopic-axis precessing through an Age into another Age, as is happening now, from Pisces to Aquarius,

..there is a hard-right turn.

The later in a world's cycle, the more-violent that Punctuation is.

This particular Punctuation's the final survivable one, for our world, btw.

So, the hard-right-turn's STRONG.

To me it's looking like there are about 8:1..15:1 of people on the planet in the totalitarianism:civilrights ratio, when push comes to shove..

The ONLY hope the civilrights & LivingSpirit loyal people now have, given the geopolitical-actuality & eentrenched-corruption/oligarchy, is the Venn-diagram-intersection of:

  1. TOTAL loyalty to integrity
  2. TOTAL objectivity & objective-pragmatism
  3. TOTAL self-honesty
  4. TOTAL proactivity
  5. .. & some Chakravartin-level leader: no mere-mundane leader's good-enough, now, BY FAR.

( yeah, actual-Venn-diagrams only have 3 circles, so make this one hyperdimensional, then, & use 3D-spheres, instead.
