VB has been supporting the intervention in Venezuela in the thread. I don’t know his particular stance on Abrams but supporting the intervention but condemning Abrams is a nonsense stance.

I have, have I? Funny how you dummies over there pass around little talking points that aren't true, based on the hearsay of the worlds stupidest grapevine, and still pretend to be the super smartest people ever, surrounded by a world of idiots. Everybody else is just a brainless savage. It's almost like an echo chamber or something.

one of the reasons i will always really genuinely love ariel sharon is that he went around pointing at the most "civilised" european countries (hello, france) going "anti-semitic! anti-semitic! anti-semitic!!" and they would get so loving angry because he was always right

opposition's still melting down in denial over their loss, which is p funny.

government is kinda failing to deliver on its programme, partly because they underestimated how hosed things were going to be, partly because it takes a lot of time to set up new institutions/undertake reviews/pass legislation (so it's too early to tell), partly because they're not willing to make big changes for the usual centre-left reasons.

they're also doing something that imo could be the next stage in 21st century social democracy, by taking a "wellbeing" approach to govt spending and policy development. it's interesting because it's considers benefits beyond $ but doesn't actually challenge the structure of the economy.

there's a reeferendum at next year's election too 😌

A few months ago. It's not like the Greatest Song Ever, but I'm into it. Billy Talent is for sure underrated. Like they might be the best punk band of their generation, and I only happened to stumble across them one time otherwise I might not have even heard of them. Which is kinda hilarious considering how big Nickelback got coming from Canada.

Referendum seems like a dumb idea for that though. Unless they want it to fail.

Recreational weed has not turned Canada into a drug induced hippy hellscape though so maybe other countries wont be quite as afraid of it?

Thats not bad actually. Not what I was expecting considering the 2 bands involved though.

Still kind of bugs me that the garbage that gets put out up here ends up being what goes big south of the border. You should give a listen to The Arkells or Glorious Sons.
