Rust Martialis posted:I guess if the NDP hadn't run such a terrible campaign things might be different? To be fair I think all the NDP supporters in this thread understand why the NDP lost and don't actively support Mulcair. At this point though you could make the argument that his brand of centrist politics would have been better than whatever Trudeau is making GBS threads out right now.

I don't think we spent any time this week talking about the fact that - at the very least - Edmonton Police Services uses a Stingray cell-tapping device.quote:...they force any phones within a target radius to connect to the device and transmit identifying information. When a phone is caught by a Stingray, the police obtain the phone and SIM card IDs, as well as its location and service carrier. More recent Stingray devices are capable of intercepting voice and text communications. Stingrays surveil phones indiscriminately, leading some commentators to label them as “mass surveillance” devices. Except now they (probably) don't, they misspoke, they can't offer any details, please stop asking questions quote:"Police agencies do not comment on equipment used in electronic surveillance or on investigative techniques, therefore the EPS cannot provide any further information on this topic." I'm, of course, very happy that the police can tap in to my calls and text messages simply because I'm in the area, and they don't need a warrant for it at all!

I'm honestly shocked at the minor things that get people so enraged they just have to give lowtax $10 to red-title someone. Like yeah, tetsul has some hilariously bad opinions and is willing to die on the hill of defending the honour of a dead corrupt criminal mayor, but buying a red-title over it? Someone bought Helsing a red title over some stupid awful processed food discussion. It's amazing what minor things trigger people into buying those stupid titles. I've seen a few that are pretty funny and deserved, but most of them are much more embarrassing for the person who bought them, not the victim. \/ Yeah, a red title alone over some minor stupid internet argument is dumb enough, but to doxx someone over a minor stupid internet argument in the form of a custom av/title should really be bannable.

This is threatening at least bunny's livelihood, if not more. It's the most hosed up thing that's ever come out of CanPol, and I'm ashamed that it happened.

Baronjutter posted:Bunny is exactly the sort of careerist political hack that's at the core of the rot within all our political parties. Always be campaigning, even on lovely forums. I know a couple of NDP volunteers that ended up getting paid gigs and they're just the orange version of Bunnyofdoom. Just mindlessly on-message at all times, always in full marketing/campaign mode. Everything out of their mouths, every event they go to, every facebook post had some slight partisan bent to it. Their entire lives structured around boosting their chosen party and climbing the internal ladder. Maybe they personally believed in something when they first got involved, but there's no room for that anymore, that part of their brain has been replaced with an implant connected directly to whatever their party's latest soundbites are. But it's ok, it's all for the greater good. They know their party is flawed (but will never admit it), but it's the lesser evil so no argument is too disingenuous, no tactic too hypocritical, no soundbite too intellectually dishonest so long as it's done in the name of getting more votes for their party. Criticizing (or even having an ounce of self-reflection) the party is just giving ammo to the other teams, so don't even allow those sorts of conversations, steer it to how other parties are worse or just ignore any topic that might involve those sorts of discussions.
