They think it's the Matrix and if you say the right sequence of words to a person then it will short-circuit the Matrix code and turn them into an alt-right nutjob, only it turns out that they think the right sequence of words is TESTICLE BREATHING

It's either a comments section made manifest, or an attempt to bring Dr. Strangelove to life.

Having a round stuck in the chamber constantly, so to speak, would explain why some of these people are so nuts.

Maybe everyone involved in the PPC just needs a good ol' fashioned post-cum clarity moment.

This is part of a right wing fascist mythology. The idea is that ejaculation deprives you of much needed masculine energy and has some misogynistic roots because they don't discourage sex. you're still supposed to have sex with women. You just have to train yourself not to ejaculate from the process in order to prevent her from depriving you of your masculine powers... I don't know the details but it goes something like that and its a very commonly held belief among right wingers.

Having said that there are benefits to abstaining from masturbation to pornography so you can normalize your expectations about sex with your partner and improve your overall relationship quality but it has nothing to do with pseudoscience about conserving masculine energy.

Like I said: yes. As far as I can tell, that film is also where fluoride conspiracies originated.

It's possibly my favourite film of all time, but it's also done a great deal of damage because apparently there's people that legitimately cannot understand satire.

Nah Dr.Strangelove didn't originate it. "Water fluoridation is a secret Communist plot to weaken Americans mentally and physically" has been a conspiracy theory since the late 40s. Kubrick was just parodying a very real thing crazy people were saying at the time.

I have a theory that any political party in Canada could increase their vote by 5-10 points by just insulting Bell and Rogers. You don't even have to have any specific policy behind it, just let the country know that you hate them too.

I tried looking up any evidence of that specific conspiracy theory prior to Dr. Strangelove and I couldn't find anything (although, obviously, conspiracies regarding the communists were rampant; I just didn't find that specific one).

I am now imagining a world where Ford was just a slightly odd mayor of Toronto, without the media making sure the world was aware of what he got up to after 6PM.

Also the PPC is sinking tons of money and effort into Barrie. I doubt they win either riding but there are clear signs that they are pushing here hard. And I wish they would go away.

Nah they just turned regular hospital beds into ICU beds and put overworked undertrained nurses on them while cancelling potentially life-saving surgeries.

Burning out said nurses and leading to an inevitable collapse of the healthcare system.

And temporarily hiring contract nurses through a Toronto staffing firm at double the union rate to try to bust the union. Then lying and saying they weren't doing it, filing a labour board complaint against the nurses union for bargaining in bad faith by saying they were, and then finally coming out and admitting that they were and withdrawing the complaint.

But it's somehow going to be cheaper to contract private surgery centers looking to turn a profit and they're totally going to be properly staffed once all the nurses leave Alberta.

I believe that buffoonery has been so well baked into far-right politics that its supporters are now almost entirely blind to it. This is especially ironic for a group that is so inclined to call for a 'waking up' of self-awareness.
