What is the best thread to move to? East/West/Futurology?

If I understood your link correctly, it counts interstate conflicts, so civil wars and insurgencies don't count. If I'm right, lots of civil wars and insurgencies, and things like ISIL would be excluded, so a lot of past violence gets left out.

The other thing is, forecasting doom makes money, so even with PiS out of power, Bolsonero out of power, Orban out of power, Golden Dawn actually raided by police the far right is eternally on the rise because that narrative makes money for news outlets and youtubers. The problems are not imaginary, but it's not as bad as it seems, it's just profitable to say otherwise. Farage has not really ever been close to the levers of power, however much people like to say otherwise.

Aye, we love to see it.

Well, Fuhrage won Clacton again, which isn't a surprise. But... When you consider he only increased his votes by about 1000, and Count Binface got something like 9,400 votes, and none of the big parties even put up any candidates, and the investigation into his blatant corruption continues, did he really win? He didn't even show up to the results declaration, claiming that Essex police had warned him not to ask a security risk. To which Essex police said "Huh? No we didn't!"

The man is an utter clown. And yet people will still vote for him and Reform because they believe the lies and like the racism.

I think those whose ballots are cast for him are too far gone at this point. Like a lot of the redhats over the pond...
