  • Came here to say this. Let Amazon provide the search and reviews. We can use that but spend our money elsewhere.

    At the most basic level could get the store name via the current Amazon page and then open a new tab with a search.

    But ideally it would actually provide a like to their own web store. Not sure how that part would work technically.





  • That’s a good point. I’ve been voting for a party for years that started on 2-3% electoral preference. The general consensus at the time was that it would be nice to see them grow, but they’re a wasted vote. They’re now around 10-11% and even as opposition have impact.

    We don’t have FPTP where I am, but I can see from our neighbours the kinds of problems it creates. Still, once you progress beyond FPTP, the kinds of attitude problems we have here still persist. I guess you’ll have a better idea of the next steps once you have proportional representation, because then you have a better idea of the government people really want.


  • I would also argue that few people have made a very good case connecting peoples concerns to capitalism. So to many it has a Southpark-ish ring to it: capitalism is bad. Don’t do capitalism. It’s an abstract thing, and abstract opponents make people feel despair and impotence.

    The most persuasive people I’ve seen don’t use that word often. They directly link peoples concerns to inequality (unfair taxation and employment laws), climate ( fossil fuel companies) and unregulated abusive businesses such as big tech.

    Those are not faceless, abstract entities, so people can organise their (justified) anger better.

    Has anybody else heard good approaches for helping people understand ?
