Couldn't this be solved by "map compilation"? IIRC, Hammer etc. did something like that. Occluded faces were removed.

No it's two separate calls. No equating at all.

Or maybe it's easier, if you can convince the people over the border that the enemy is people living among them, and their government.

They basically gave up the day they decided to become npm compatible. That was the day Deno died.

Looking at tuios, using a mouse in a TUI completely defeats its purpose, for me personally.

Afyer years of using tiling WMs, Niri was such a huge improvement. You don't really have to think about anything anymore, it just clicks. You always know where windows are (lile with tiling), but you also don't have to worry how to place them.

It's not necessarily a binary choice, is it? There's a spectrum between true democracy that isn't simply "rule of majority", and authoritarianism.

There is a weakness in democracies too, that if they are too tolerant and allow too much freedom, this can paradoxically undermine democracy itself and lead to a collapse.

So in general, western democracies tend to respect human rights, sacrificing the greater good, because this in itself is considered a greater good.

> Its a "nation first + everything for the nation" thinking.

If you think this means "our nation over other nations" then you misunderstood. It means "nation above all", e.g. "everything for the government, above citizens". That is, forget the individual, there is a greater good for which we must endure some hardship, trust me.

FYI, the promised land never materialized, historically.

Has there ever been a prosperous and successful fascist country?

No, they stagnate economically in corruption.
