Because 'Left' and 'Right' are concepts used to split the voting population into two roughly equal groups which can be placed against each other to balance the other out, attempting to achieve economic stability. Where the divide needs to be made in order to achieve two roughly equally sized groups is different for each population.

Because irrational hatred is so ubiquitous that it goes entirely unquestioned (and even defended as you're likely to see in response to this post), almost nobody seems to be aware that the scientific method was actually developed by the Catholic church as the religiously approved way to explore the mysteries of our world. The view that Christianity is rigid and exclusionary just plain isn't supported by reality. You can certainly find bad examples and pretend you've "proved" something, but there are far, far more good people who aren't brain dead zealots.

what I really miss from that period of the internet was that children could use it safely

Uhh... my largest grievance with how the Internet has been designed is that it was never safe for children to be on it, yet children were thrust onto it en-mass long before adults even really understood what it was. And still people are ignoring the massive problems it continues to cause, specifically for the healthy development of children, as society is circling the drain.

I think someone calculated the time it would take to read every single one you're expected to agree with in normal every day life, and it worked out to needing 76 work days to read everything you "agree" to in a typical year.

I was taught in college to only include a single question in one email unless you can't get around it, because many people will only see the first one.

failed states ruled by warlords

Do you have any idea how many candidates get murdered in elections in Mexico?

It's a shame, because a lot of stuff like this is legitimately exciting, but sensationalism tries to sell it as something entirely different and sullies the conversation.

My guy. If there's no government then you can just settle anywhere you please. You don't have to pay anyone an ounce of copper.

Might have to kill off some other people with different ideas though.
