Oh man this is so true. I once dated someone who was involved in politics and it was so great to have all these debates on policy, government, messaging. Then they got a position at PMO. Power corrupts, I guess.

bunnyofdoom posted:Totally fair question. For me good government means being able to long term plan, have a clear plan,be able to deliver on it, and be able to communicate it effectively. By that standard, the ONDP didn't show any of that last election. They triggered the election but didn't have even a basic platform when they did, and in fact didn't release the full one until after the election. The ONDP aren't exactly an inspiring bunch but they're capable of running the province as well as the plausible alternatives. It's not as though the civil service all resign when a new government comes into power. Reince Penis posted:Again, the paramount principle of the courts is the best interests of the child. The reason for that is any alternative involves the courts taking sides in a separation, which is infinitely more difficult to legislate or develop a jurisprudence framework around (a fancy way of saying it would be generally unjust). It seems unjust that we actually have an explicit standard dictating that affluent children must remain as affluent as possible, whereas we simply accept poverty for other children. It seems to actively reinforce and legitimize the idea that your parents wealth should determine your own standard of living.

Child support should be tax based and standardized. It's better ALL kids have enough money for a decent shot at life than to make sure some rich kids can attend the most expensive private schools and not have to choose between their dressage horse or jumping horse. But we really do have deeply ingrained ideas of class and entitlement in our society, that a kid born into luxury is entitled to remain at that level of luxury as her birthright. And if some poor single dad can only scrape together an unreliable $100 a month from his crazy mentally ill ex who can't hold a job, well I mean it was the kid's birth destiny to be poor right? Child support should be about what's best for all children, not some sort of "status quo insurance" that keeps rich kids rich and poor kids poor.

A pretty interesting article in the star today. The whole "never meet your heroes" thing sure is compounded in 2018, when pretty much even previously lionized historical figures will be re-examined with a critical eye now. I never heard of the Bengal famine and this certainly makes for a harrowing story. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/sta...-his-hands.html I am not sure what she means by MLK and Ghandi having a dark side though. MLK might have been adulterous but I haven't heard much else bad. And Ghandi? Isn't that just a reddit meme like how him and Mother Theresa are actually the baddies?

I know that literally every time any brand unveils a logo the whole world dogpiles on with backseat graphic designing, but this really seems pretty  https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/no-frills-logo-for-ontario-cannabis-store-met-with-mixed-reviews-1.3836618  For some reason it really bugs me that they didn't use a fixed-width font so the O C S doesn't vertically line up in a nice way. And of course they allegedly hugely overpaid for the logo and "branding strategy" from some swanky design firm. You don't need a loving Branding Strategy, you have a monopoly on legal weed.

(the font is also really close to looking fixed width, but obviously isn't. It just seems like a really amateur mistake) edit: didn't notice the complaint was in the post, haha, but I'll keep my original post anyway, because damnit, it's true. I couldn't stand it, so I did a quick and dirty fix of it to show how wrong it is. (because it's quick, the S looks a bit thick, but ehh, it's almost 3am)

Also Ghandi was very much a huge misogynist whereas other civil rights leaders like Frederick Douglass actively campaigned for women's rights because a rising tide lifts all boats.

MLK's darkside is such a laughable and p loving gross slander. Even if you believe that being and adulterer is unforgivable every shred of evidence of the supposed adultery comes from the illustrious FBI under the unimpeachable j edgar hoover LMAO Gandhi on the other hand was not only a misogynist but also a huge racist. He seemed to believe that south african white minority rule was a pretty good system aside from the fact that indian people were technically aryan.

I've never looked into it enough to have much of an opinion on it, but It's not some new internet allegation? There were contemporary opinions on it. Yea my understanding is that Teresa has the same flaw that old school Christianity in general does, except dialled up to 11 - that poverty and suffering were good, beautiful, and pure things that made you ready for the Kingdom of Heaven. So she wasn’t necessarily fighting for the alleviation of suffering - I think there are claims that she intentionally left the facilities in her care in shambles - no anesthetic and stuff like that - because suffering is to be as Jesus on the Cross. She’s like the pornographic version of anti-poverty efforts. All exploitation. And of course, she was just as conservative as you would expect a fervent Catholic of the mid-20th century to be on divorce, contraception, abortion etc., though how much stock you put in that depends on how much of a historical relativist you are.

It never fails to crack me up when people use ‘but Stalin!’ as an argument against communism but they’ve never heard of the Bengal famine or King Leopold. Churchill was always a staunch imperialist and racist, it’s why Britain chose him to lead them in the war. He also advocated for the gassing of Kurdish civilians to quell uprisings in British Mesopotamia I’d guess the ‘dark side’ of MLK is probably a reference to his actual politics. He was basically a revolutionary socialist that’s legacy has been coopted by liberals to be about inclusion and non-violence when in actuality he was more about radical social change. I personally find the whitewashing of his legacy to be more distasteful than even the purposeful ignorance about imperialists such as Churchill or Teddy Roosevelt

Leopold is one of my go to examples for “decolonizing history” lessons. If you want a trip, go read about the Aborigenese resistance fighter Pemulwuy and what happened to him after his death. On this note - thanks for bringing up the Tulsa Race Riots a while back Vyelkin. That is crazy stuff.

MLK plagiarized parts of his dissertation. Which, in terms of bad stuff, pales in comparison to Gandhi's darker side, and doesn't even show up on the radar if you're talking about Churchill.

They even tried to do it them selves to see how successful they'd be and found their conservative accounts would get tons of shares and people would eat up everything they said but progressive/leftist groups would very quickly sniff them out and fact-check them and internet detective them as a fake account. When it comes to sharing fake news articles or retweeting russian bots, conservatives are 10-20x more likely. my theory is that conservatives are just on average older so you get way more of /forwardsfromgrandma types who retweet russian fakenews

The main thing with Mother Theresa is that the vast majority of the money she raised when to things like building convents and "houses for the dying" where poor sick people got extremely basic palliative care rather than any kind of actual hospital care. Here whole thing was "be nice to poor, dying people and bring them to jesus" rather than "help poor sick people not die or stop being poor". And she had the same weird devotion to living in "poverty" herself that Ghandi did, where it became actually counter-productive and a bit perverse. Like there are instances of her order taking over a building and immediately ripping out all the modern plumbing and wiring that was already there so that they could be all humble and simple.

Mother Theresa was a sadistic pain freak that got all doe eyed at the sight and sound of extreme suffering. The world is a better place now that she's no longer among the living. I remember showing a few family members articles about her behaviour shortly after her death because I just couldn't stand all the undeserved nice things they were saying about that evil witch. It upset them at first but then accepted it and now no longer reference her.
