For those people who luckily sit firmly in the fringe of Spanish politics, the current laws against domestic violence are basically tantamount to feminazism, and the bare mention of the issue makes them foam and sputter, showing their true colours. In this sense it makes for a pretty good lithmus test.

And that's why you love them?

Not quite.

They are a ridiculous party that sadly is beginning to get non-ridiculous results.

The leader is a downright clown.



Their campaign ad was him riding a horse with the LOTR soundtrack.

Which one is the leader?

I can see the problem-- he has a shirt on.

I must admit that I'm still slightly dumbfounded about how they managed to go from laughable stunts and meme fodder to a "real" political option with such an impact. I always thought that they were too extreme, too ridiculous, and then the Andalusian elections come and here's my face after that:

Lots of election outcomes are becoming like those.

I'm late to the party but apparently in 2018 this was like the blue dress.

Can anyone actually hear laurel?

It's not cheating. It was trained to do the wrong thing. It's an interesting result, but not particularly surprising.

They want the regional government to defund programs to prevent domestic violence and disband the government bodies created to coordinate them. 

It is a really odd demand, but they seem obsessed with the issue. They'd be more likely to get the other parties to agree (sadly, I'd add) if they pressed on immigration.

Do they really want to advertise the fact they are incels?

I don't even think it's that interesting of a result, it should be pretty basic knowledge to practitioners that precisely this sort of thing can happen with "bottlenecks" in the architecture, even if you don't know to call it a "high frequency hidden signal".

Incels have little opportunity to commit domestic violence.

It's interesting because it may show a fundamental limitation/advantage of purely numeric systems such as neural nets.
