Arc Hammer posted:I dont. gently caress that guy, I hope a shark ate his tiny gym shorts. I can't hate him, he was too much of an ungainly clown, somebody literally too ugly for halloween. quote:Pallister stands by his dislike of Halloween. He was 6’3 when he hit his teens, and no disguise could mask his identity, leading to taunts from other kids. this is a guy who marinated in his own self-loathing, an enormous siege tower of unresolved childhood trauma who for some reason chose a public-facing career that forced him to confront his core emptiness over and over and over. He never really mastered the essential fascist art of masking his emptiness with a polished facade, so his emotional volatility was always right there, ready to simmer over, and drat if I didn't like to see him cry. I don't really care who is in power in Manitoba. It's a circus, so give me the biggest clown to watch. Right now, Wab Kinew is, for example, giving the go-ahead to Premium Sand to begin their industrial-scale pollution of Lake Winnipeg, while he and his ministers laud Israel's genocide, just as the Cons would have.

sleep with the vicious posted:For roughly 60 days a year, Jacqueline Baptist rents her cottage out on sites such as Airbnb. But she doesn’t think of the money as income, because it almost entirely goes toward upkeep for her four-season, four-bedroom property in Algonquin Highlands, the costs of which can exceed $10,000 a year. I don't think of what my job pays me as income because it goes entirely towards the upkeep of my continued existence. I don't just mean food and rent, I also mean the money I spend on lego and video games. It's very important to my mental health, and should not be taxable.

An apartment building in Winnipeg just evicted all their tenants because it's going to collapse. Gave them like 12 hours to get out of the building and a ton of the residents are old. I knew one person living there and they are very low income so finding a place is very difficult. Some residents didn't even have phones or internet access. Birchwood Terrace if anyone's interested

Put that on the bad things about Manitoba list Edit: at least they evicted them before it collapsed. But without investigating i am very confident that the landlord postponed critical maintenance for probably a decade

ElehemEare posted:I generally support the upzoning and backyard suites but god forbid we ever get to a point where the city lets us subdivide lots and someone can own their own backyard suite. It's not totally terrible but yeah without breaking up lots it's just another landlording on-ramp. Also all the places the city approved for true high-density but then chickened out because they got less than 200 emails from Dal professors and South End landlords lmfao The Portland heritage area really pisses me off because it's only happening now that developers have already ripped the place up for (Torontocels stop reading here) condos and luxury apartments and gentrified our delightful lovely little main street all to hell.

madmatt112 posted:Why are western leftists such poo poo at being leftists in power? flippant answer: HiroProtagonist posted:What a lack of class analysis does to a mfer The question then becomes why few if any Canadian politicians or public intellectual talk about class or historical materialism seriously any more. I used to hang out with a leftish group led by a labour studies guy, who was always telling me about how the organized left had been dismantled and dispersed in Canada, to the point where he could only imagine the group as a sort of "seed crystal" for future leftist organizing, not as a political party in of itself. Now, I'm still at the Precocious Toddler stage of my political education, but the more I understand about the various anti-communist programs put in place by Western governments after WW2, the more I have come to realize that the destruction of the left was one of the most successful policy initiatives ever undertaken by a modern state. In the space of decades, they murdered, drove into hiding, or terrorized into silence everybody who'd even glanced briefly at a student pamphlet about communism, to the point where the word itself became synonymous with "bad." They've also been successful at neutralizing even the vestiges of the left, turning, for example, (many) unions into docile guilds of labour aristocrats who care only about securing the privileges of their members (and are fighting a losing battle even on that front). They've also erased the history of the left from public discourse, to the point where you can hardly find a person to talk to who understands Marxist-Leninist theory or who can educate you on how poo poo actually works. Hence why we have literal monuments to the West's victory over its left (the Victims of Communism memorial) in Ottawa and Washington. The ruling class now has the technology to detect, contain, and co-opt any spontaneous people power movement, and so can strangle any serious potential opposite in the cradle. Then we have the US-led proliferation of the non-violence movement, which has furnished the modern would-be anti-imperialist with an almost magical belief about how power works in a modern state; we have created a class of young people who think that standing in front of a building yelling or occupying a public square is how you make a revolution happen. They don't think about the material preparation and organization that went into making the October or Cuban Revolutions happen. In other words, the powers that be killed all the smart people who posed a threat to them, and then proceeded to train the rest of us badly as a joke. All of which, in answer to your question, is to say that we have created conditions in which it is nearly impossible to foster the sort of politically minded person who could build a communist political organization that might pose a serious threat to the current ruling class. The leftists I have encountered do not like to think about how power can be wielded by a central authority to improve the lives of workers, because they have been taught that exerting power over people is Bad and What Authoritarian (Bad) Governments do. The best that the left can do, apparently, is extract very minor concessions from the ruling class that can be easily overturned later, because no organized form of people power exists to stop them from doing so. It's why the Palestinian protests give me some hope, because they have been so sustained, and the state response so incoherent and feeble. But the protests need to coalesce into a party with roots in communities and among workers, one with a serious, easy to understand program, or yet another group of young leaders are going to end up shot in the head in a back alley somewhere. or, TLDR: CN CREW-VESSEL posted:Trained wrong as a joke Karach has issued a correction as of 20:37 on May 18, 2024 |
