Good point, has anyone checked Manitoba for the buck-a-beers?

I was just at The Common and most beers were $7.50 so I'm thinking it's definitely Trudeau's fault.

I miss the good old days of 2015 now when any government spending meant "Canada/this province will be just like Greece in a few months". Remember that Conservative talking point? I do.

Communism is the blanket term for "left" or "politically correct" or "anything I don't care for".

Liberal government? Communist.
Trans rights? Communist.
Any restrictions of my ability to not wear a mask or refuse vaccines? Communist.
Anti-racist policies? Communist.

Stuff that is kinda communist:
Universal healthcare? (Silence)
Canada pension? (Silence)

I hate our good ol' Canadian white nationalist gently caress-wits.

They think Communist is a synonym for Authoritarian. Swaths of people have forgotten the word Authoritarian exists and just use Communist instead. Sometimes "statist" depending on how loony they are, which would imply they are anarchist but they definitely aren't.

Constantly framing the center-right as FAR-LEFT EXTREMISM is also an age-old way to keep the overton window firmly to the right, so it's in the ruling class' best interest to never correct them.

A terrible, terrible thing has happened; I am, for once, forced to agree with noted Kermit the Frog impersonator Jordan Peterson. Apparently he made a transphobic tweet regarding Elliot Page, and has said in an interview with the National Post, he'd rather die than delete that tweet and/or apologize. On this point, I must concede, he has convinced me and I have no choice but to agree with him: I would also rather he die.

I chatted with a investigative reporter recently, he was covering anti-vaxx movements in canada. I mentioned how someone I knew went from a typical liberal hippie type to an anti-vaxxer who then started reading jorp and buying into anti-trans stuff just being some entirely unnatural un-organic problem that's probably micro-plastics or something. The reporter said anti-vaxx and anti-trans stuff was extremely linked from all the interviews he'd been doing over the last month, like this weird venn diagram where anti-vaxx and jorp anti-trans stuff end up forming a perfectly overlapping circle.

The guy considered it government tyranny when a private corporation puts a plus-size model on the cover of their magazine. He's firmly in the "I'm not against government tyranny, I just want to be the tyrant" camp.

Not to mention the stupid poo poo he was spouting about how only humans kill for reasons other than eating, and that makes us less than animals (so he's obviously never seen a cat).

For some reason I thought his daughter hated him but she's quoted as calling Twitter "definitely not a free speech platform" in regards to his twitter suspension so I guess I must be thinking of some other raving idiot whose children hate them.

Serious brain rot. He has gone from, "It's tyranny to ask me to use a pronoun", to "It's criminal that my whims don't override their bodily autonomy".

His views have always been rubbish but he used to successfully troll people into overreacting. He would say [Thing A]. People would attack him for [Thing B], which was worse, and which flowed naturally from [Thing A] , but he hadn't actually said [Thing B]. Then he would attack the attackers for inaccuracy, and profit from the "I'm a victim of cancel culture" narrative. Now he just yells [Thing B]. He must make the same money either way, so he doesn't bother with the game anymore.

I had a friend who was scooped by the YouTube conspiracy theory algorithm and is now basically an Iranian white supremacist (believes Iranians are the best of all the west asians). He said Trudeau was a communist and I said I wished he was and to please define what he believes communism is.

He couldn’t give even a vague definition and instead said it’s tyranny.

I told him that Trudeau would have been put in the gulag if he lived under Stalinism and if he’s trying to convince me to agree with him on anything, he’ll need to have at least a grade 10 level understanding of what he’s criticizing.

He then told me that Somalis have such low IQ because in their culture only the elite can wear hats and their brains bake in the sun. I asked if imperialism, colonialism or poverty have any impact on a society’s IQ and he said no, it’s the hats.

Never wasting time on the too far gone’s again. Too many other people to reach first who aren’t utter lunatics.

Jesus people really need to learn media literacy.

How do people go from "I saw this on youtube or twitter" to "this is clearly inerrant fact!" so easily? There's clearly a lot of poo poo on all sides that fairly unhinged, or at least very poorly supported, being talked about like it's gospel truth, because it agrees with the reader's pre-existing bias. This has been happening fairly regularly with COVID poo poo... for all the nonsense on the right about COVID, the extreme "other side" has been very bad in a lot of ways as well. You'd think we're all on death's door about to die of strokes and viral meningitis and masks are completely useless, and that's pretty deranged too.

The one common thread is that the current media environment, largely driven by social media and "engagement" has no room for sanity, because no one wants to hear (again, using COVID as an example): "this is a dangerous disease, but by taking precautionary measures you can reduce your risk considerably and you'll probably, but not definitely, be alright if you contract it after being fully vaccinated." No, you either get: "COVID is basically a common cold and any suggestion otherwise is a fabrication of the Jews and Communists, who, by the way, are responsible for every bad thing in your life including your wife leaving you" or, "you're gonna die! There's nothing you can do to stop it! Behold, I saw a pale horse, and the one who rode him was COVID and death followed in his wake, we're all going to get long COVID and stroke out before we hit 30!"

I'm big into the Waco raid, I think it was great. The government should forcibly gently caress with more cults, IMHO. Warren Jeffs and the Blackmores should've had the same happen to them before they could rape any more children. The vile fucker's in prison now at least, but how many people could've been saved if we hadn't danced around the issue on both sides of the border?

How this became a defining even for libertarians when unarmed Black people being murdered by police isn't, is beyond me, but I suspect it has to do with racism. And that being said, I know Ammon Bundy himself got criticized when he supported the Black Lives Matter protests, which goes to show you where the majority of this movement is at mentally speaking.

The waco raids was dumb atf flexing their poo poo after numerous times showing their entire rear end. So they needed to show the world they weren't so hosed up. This is what happens when all you have is a hammer so you just keep telling yourself everything's a nail.

I suppose it is good that no children were "harmed" by government forces during the Ottawa occupation, despite them effectively also being used as human shields.


On that topic of media literacy, I remember when the George Floyd murder was only a few weeks old one of my friends made a comment about how inappropriate some BLM people were being. The specific example he used was (his description) videos of a big black man going up to white girls and aggressively telling them to get on their knees and apologize for being white. Now I laughed at that because it sounded outrageous but he seemed quite shocked that I didn't believe it to be true. I asked him where he saw these videos because a Google search wasn't turning up anything and his response was "well of course there aren't any hits, they don't want people to see that, it hurts the narrative" but I couldn't even find anything on snopes or other fact-checking sites.

Anyone here hear anything about that? Or did my friend get sucked down a rabbit hole that I was able to avoid?
