I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.

@aral Right, the one where you have to fully dox yourself, or sign by logging in to your country's online registration system that fully doxes yourself.
I wonder why there's not much more support logged in the system owned by the governments, controlled by the people with enough money to get elected / support candidates, that requires people to fully identify themselves to exactly that same system.

@dascandy Well you also have to fully dox yourself to vote in an election. It would be good to know, however, whether your signature is linked to you or, like a vote, used only for authentication.

@aral yeah. In a similar vein I reformulated #Enshittification as the extent to which we *allow* it to happen to us..
