One issue with this type of system is, who defines what the truth is? If it's the government in power, then it'll flipflop immediately whenever the other side wins. Any sort of "independent bureaucracy" would also gradually be undermined.

This is also ignoring that lying in the house of commons is likely not a major cause of political polarization, given that I imagine very few people actually watch the sessions of parliament. I would attribute the rise of political extremism mainly to decreasing quality of life, which arises from a combination of the housing crisis, heinous wealth inequality, and the looming specter of climate change. After all, if the status quo doesn't work for the average person, they will naturally look for alternatives (or get politically disengaged). The right wing has the edge here, as they have a multi-billion dollar propaganda complex that is very effective at getting their word out, and they have no end of scapegoats to blame. The left has no such network, but we do have the benefit that most people aren't massive racist assholes, and it doesn't hurt that the actual facts back us up.

It is also worth noting that this type of polarization cannot be avoided under the system of capitalism, which broadly pits two groups against each other: the working class and the capitalist class. The working class broadly seek to live comfortably, to receive as much money as possible in pay, and to work no more than is necessary. The interests of the capitalist class run directly counter to this: they seek ever-increasing profits, and would like to pay the working class as little as possible and have them work as long as possible in exchange. This adversarial relationship can be overcome temporarily by a social contract that enacts high taxes on the capitalists to pay for a welfare state (note that even this arrangement does require exporting suffering to the global south through the mechanisms of imperialism, which I'm going to ignore for brevity), but eventually the drive for ever greater profits will drive the capitalists to destroy that social contract. Two relatively obvious examples of this are that wages have become stagnant for the last 50 years despite massive increases in productivity, and the movement to destroy public healthcare.

In sum: if we are to eliminate polarization, we must first eliminate capitalism. 😊

Did Jordan have a kink for this kinda thing?

From this and other instances I think it's pretty clear that he was into spanking and femdom.

Corporations gradually making something worse so they can sustain profits?

Depends on what experience you want to go for, I suppose. Is there any interesting gameplay in a Skyrim or Oblivion that involves breaking into one of the 100 copy-pasted personal residences that aren't part of a quest? Potentially. But I can only say that I found the radiant thieves guild quests in Riften to be a miserable grind.

A spectre is looming over the fediverse

Same reason liberals still think the US is a democracy: if you just say something enough times loudly enough, people start to believe it.

So long as you follow the Hexbear party line you'll be welcomed with open arms. All you have to do is be on the far left, don't be sectarian, oppose the US and its propaganda, and love your trans comrades.

Oh, and don't mention outdoor cats.

Novigrad in Witcher 3 was big. Bethesda could do it if they upped procedural generation for building interiors because they insist on letting you go into every building.
