This is why you can’t argue on their terms. They don’t care about what makes sense, they just want to maximize value of your sickness and death

They’re trying to control anti-US as Canadian patriotism. I avoided giving them money before it was cool…

Why don’t you blame the companies? If they had paid you a fair wage this whole time, you’d be better off. If profit maximization wasn’t their imperative, they wouldn’t make decisions by quarterly disruptions.

Why not blame the Liberals? They have resisted expansion of social welfare policies like UBI which would allow you more leverage in negotiating with these companies in the first place and would have lessened the blow of losing that job now. They’ve ran on election reform multiple times and abandoned it.

Trump is the sole culprit? Why hasn’t anyone in his cabinet stopped him then? Why hasn’t Congress or the Senate or Supreme Court stopped him?

It’s time Canadians recognize that systemic change is necessary. Even if individuals could be solely responsible for this, we shouldn’t live in a system where that is possible. Maybe Canada should have never been subject to the whims of one man in the metropole and maybe YOU should never be materially insecure in one of the wealthiest states on the planet.

They are, but they want a neoliberal solution that directs public money to companies instead of food regulators.

I’m sorry, this article is incredibly grating to me. It softens aggrieved entitlement as “men associating power with control,” and prescribes appeasement (read: empathy) for men who subscribe to this. This is all bundled in neoliberal business talk that seeks to erase the necessity of abolishing hierarchy to heal masculinity from capitalism and colonialism. It isn’t inspiring and I don’t think this is even a genuine attempt at empathy. Men who feel threatened by women in the workplace because they are just that insecure about themselves and the hierarchy isn’t a healthy relationship with the world and should not be fostered under the guise of empathy. That isn’t healthy for them and it isn’t genuinely relating to them.

Learned how to make thermite. Mutual aid to feed people here.

As expected. The state has benefited greatly from this nationalist burst and the absence of First Nations and indigenous voices in this discourse is intentional. They know white Canadians feel scared and will more openly support colonial interests.

I think this is a very good example of why we cannot depend on reform. This system will never work in our interests because it is not designed to. NDP might help a bit in terms of social welfare programs that can enable more time to people who want to participate in mutual aid, but the amount of effort it’d take to get them a federal majority would be enormous and would not resolve the issue of MP and Senator capital interests.

Has anyone else noticed and uptick in Wolfenstein content in the past year? I wonder if anything happened that encouraged a bunch of people to revisit a franchise about killing Nazis.
