  • Hi, I don’t think it’s crazy to think the CCP owns (or rather controls) it, but I don’t think it even matters. They’ve clearly chosen to operate a certain way.

    Big tech companies (fuck you Reddit) and governments will shout about the CCP and how nobody can trust that their privacy is respected on Chinese platforms (not disputing this), or how they censor dissenting speech, but then you see how those same invasive measures are implemented in a more subtle way on non-Chinese platforms.

    I have an easier time imagining that it’s just lessons learned from the CCP and others regardless of the organization’s (fuck you Reddit) nationality. It’s a matter of money, or power, or both, because they (fuck you Reddit) have no values and will bend the knee to authoritarians so that they can operate in those countries and feed off of their people too.




  • He’s a political outsider. I’d love to hear about all of the political experience he has that don’t make him an outsider POLITICALLY. I’ll wait.

    Mark Carney is 100% pro status quo, pro establishment, pro big business. We can agree on that without being so dramatic.

    And if we can’t avoid being dramatic, then I’ll pose a dramatic question based on your response in a manner similar to your responses. If Mark Carney IS the system, then our problems go away if he’s not elected, right? After all, you said he IS the system, not a part of it.


  • Thanks for your well rounded contribution. Yes, in the context it was written, he is a political outsider. No need to be so sensitive about it.

    I’m of the opinion he will be more of the same while being quieter about things than Trudeau was, but people sort of want some financial literacy within government and Trudeau’s Liberals were not that. Carney certainly wouldn’t be my first choice but looking at the other options it’s not rocket science to see why he was chosen.



  • This wasn’t some wild uprising, though. Canadians vote politicians out, that’s nothing new.

    Trudeau and his Liberal party were seen as arrogant and out of touch. I don’t know that Carney is any better in that regard given his ties to the big shitty businesses which are ruining our society, but he’s certainly more financially literate than Trudeau was and people want that right now. He’s certainly qualified for the job.

    Russia can eat a dick, but Liberal governments are spending enough time eating their own faces. They need to earn back the trust of their populace if they want to beat back Russian influence because these conditions are what makes it so easy.




  • If the goal of taking shrooms is to forget about what’s happening around the world despite our human potential or the pain of every day life; might I recommend something like meth or heroin instead?

    Shrooms at this point will probably just open your mind up to the really dark thoughts you’re subconsciously suppressing and make you more depressed. Tripping on shrooms isn’t something that heals you, it’s the changes you make after the trip that matter.

    Also, I’m kidding about doing meth or heroin. Don’t.


  • The point is - if the 2/3 or more of us not radicalized find solidarity, his presidency ends

    Better late than never, I guess, but the time for action and solidarity was before the election. Trump has never made a secret of his plans, and the world witnessed just how fractured America is with his re-election.

    The first election of Trump, I believe, was a fuck you to the establishment. I would never have rallied behind the piece of shit, but I could at least understand what was happening. His re-election was a fuck you to the rest of the world, including Americans.

    The world is looking at the general apathy of Americans and waiting for them to do something about it. It’s an uphill fight but Americans haven’t even gotten into the ring yet.
