Regarding the order of operations after the catch that’s because a stroke is similar to power clean sitting down. You are effectively maximising the lever arc.

For example let’s look at Ireland.
[0] Ireland tries to exclude itself from GDPR https://www.thejournal.ie/data-protection-bill-2018-3853647-...
[1] Entire health system compromised and possibly majority of PHI data exfiltrated https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/publications/conti-cyber-att...
[2] Irish health service only begins notifications to confirmed affected individuals a year later https://www.hse.ie/eng/services/news/media/pressrel/hse-begi...
[3] selective punishment of companies whose data is breached eg google https://techcrunch.com/2022/03/14/dpc-sued-google-rtb-compla... vs meta https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/news-media/data-protection-...
Laws unevenly applied make a mockery of justice.

Yes agreed.
“Yes, I am aware current authoritarian countries wage propaganda campaigns, but in my experience such campaigns would be meaningless without an existing tendency to seek out authoritarian rule.”
Yes agreed.
“While likely flawed opinion, I do feel like one possible explanation is nationalism in general, since while many democratic countries will argue they believe in the rule of law, ultimately any non-citizen is treated as if they are within an authoritarian country and for sure not as citizens by default.”
Losing me. Non citizens aren’t citizens by default and therefore should in any country be extended the same rights. As they don’t bear the same responsibilities.
“Only once there are countries that treats all people equally and as citizens, will such an issue be addressed in my opinion.”
This is where I think the breakthrough was lost in my opinion. Having the realisation of the first few paragraphs but getting it backwards. All I have ever seen is a corrupting influence of some groups from authoritarian countries who move to democratic states only to attempt to take their brutal systems with them. Specifically here to avoid doubt I’m talking about Islamic and Chinese immigration both have in various countries setup their own police systems. This is wholly unacceptable and should not be tolerated in the same way Irish/Italian/Russian organised crime shouldn’t. Not saying it’s all people from a place or a “racial” thing cause there are many people trying to escape the regimes of their homes. However it’s clearly motivated by nationalism but by external nationalism. People taking pride in their own countries is a counter to this influence.
