I would like to tell you that some people can't see bios on Lemmy (example: I am on Connect and it does not show up). Not capitalizing pronouns is convention in English except when using "I" since it's one letter or (apparently from a quick search) when referring to god / a higher power. People aren't misgendering or being disrespectful, it's just how English works

It's a clickbait title. From what I see it basically says that Hitler gave democracies a common enemy to fight against and rally to defend their system

In FPTP, not really because voting third party can split the vote between multiple parties meaning that none of them get a relative majority of votes and their common opponent wins instead. The system encourages you to vote for the next closes party that is the most likely to get more votes (strategic voting). It entirely favours a 2 party dynamic

This is a good video explanation that you may have seen before as it is popular

From my experience as someone who lives in Alberta and who considers himself English Canadian, no one here actively hates french language or culture. We simply don't have enough of a need for french or enough of a cultural presence to really embrace it, and anyone who wants to has to actively go out of their way to do so. Maybe it's different in Ontario, but it isn't racism or hate. We simply don't use it

It's a system designed to keep the 2 parties in power. Voting third party means your vote is effectively wasted in a FPTP system

Christianity is fundamentally a monotheistic religion. Yes, there are other heavenly people but ultimately god creates everything

In my quick searching, I can't find much info on it. It seems that he made it in response to the idea that there were Greek gods that were concerned with humanity's wellbeing and actively took a positive part in our existence. His ideas don't apply to one religion or even try to say that there is no god, rather he is just saying that the gods are too busy / unconcerned with humanity's wellbeing which was not the common view of the period.

I have an 04 canyon and it's ran great with proper maintenance and some repairs. Modern vehicles should last a long time as long as you put the needed maintenance into them

If you aren't far left then you are far right!

Also, these leaders have little in common and I don't know where you got the idea Mussolini is a western hero
