Fptp is bad whether or not the state is unpopular
A common line of thinking (if not an explicitly stated argument) amongst people on the right of the political spectrum is that fptp is tolerable because it makes the state unpopular. That if we had pr the state would not be despised to the extent that it is currently and that is not something to be welcomed. But this is a fallacious argument for reasons which are immediately obvious. Any form of (state) tyranny will be despised by those who are a victim of it... it is no consolation that the perpetrator of the crimes is hated... that does not solve the problem by definition. There is no consolation in the unpopularity of the state under fptp.
