        wait until you see the immense disproportionality of the Hungarian voting system. MMP sounds nice, but the implementation makes it possible for our beloved leader to lose the popular vote and win 2/3 of the Parliament. 48% to 67% of seats. Lovely, eh? That was 2014. Unfortunately our demagogue brainwasher has now convinced 54% of voters the last time. And he won the exact same 2/3 sup.majority.

        I really wish there was a way to quantify how dumb a country was in terms of its GDP (not the humans being physically less intelligent, just the culture is stupid even when there is abundant money to fund things) because it would be really fun to watch the US and UK keep fighting neck and neck to be in the lead.

        It would be like following a sports rivalry between two unstoppable teams, except the unstoppable aspect is how much everything is stopping from falling apart for no good reason.
