It’s by design. Divide and conquer has been the playbook since they started studying group think.
FPTP conteibutes more than its share in the tribalism we see in the US and the UK.

Cant tell if you are pro FPTP or against FPTP 🤔
demesisx@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Very against it.

Yea you mentioned divide and conquer then put images of the parliament with and without FPTP. Its easily misinterpreted to say that proportional representation is somehow “divide and conquer”.

Huh? I showed how a simple change to US and UK election laws can topple the two party system overnight.
Literally, if there are only two private parties run by private organizations of rich people, they merely have to divide us and conquer us. We are being puppeteered by a bunch of corporations that use identity politics to keep the poor fighting amongst themselves and people SLURP THAT SHIT UP BECAUSE THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM CODIFIES IT INTO EVERY DECISION.
Feudalism with a few more steps.
