What? Anarchism is generally anti-statist and socialists sure love to shoot anarchists. By the logic of AES, Anarchists should support Assad and not the YPG since one is "anti-imperialist" and the other exists due to US military support.

a variety of independent news sources.

Wikipedia is notoriously susceptible to bias when it comes to history and politics and has a noted left center bias (according to researchers at Harvard, not my words).

I'm not saying it's a terrible sources but it definitely should not be the last stop and anything controversial (or the lack thereof) isn't a meaningful indicator of whether or not something is actually true. Note the numerous examples of historical revisionism in the linked article.

You can install Plex on your mobile device and toggle the "share media from this device" setting. Otherwise, a steam deck would have everything an RPI has plus a GPU and a touch screen. Since there are two radios (2 and 5Ghz) on the device, you should be able to set it up as a bridge device, but I've not tried this personally.

I'm definitely not confused. Perhaps we have irreconcilable philosophical differences, but I'm certainly not confused by percentages.

Personally, I would a 30% voter turnout as a damning indictment of the system, particularly when Switzerland was one of the last countries in Europe to legalize women's right to vote and the right to gay marriage.

For most of the US's history, most people were simply not allowed to participate in that system and twice this century the winner lost the popular vote. How is it do hard to believe that someone would feel legitimately disenfranchised and frustrated by that system?

"both sides bad" has won almost every US election, according to this chart.

It's literally the most popular position when you consider voter turnout and % of votes for each main party.
