The internet is buckwild because I feel like it's been really great at almost naturally creating more left-leaning folks through exposure to diverse groups and ideas, and redirecting frustrations to their root causes, but on the other hand it's incredibly great at making anyone socially isolated an easy target for radicalization through the same frustrations. It probably doesn't help that we have so much of a broader view of things that everything also feels so much more polarizing?

The continental divide seems to be curiosity. Some people want to learn about what they don't know, others simply want confirmation that what they believe is correct. The right wing "intellectuals" don't have a following because they present new information. They have a following because they twist new information to fit the already-established world view of their audience. Once they reach something they can't rationally twist, they lose out to more radical and ridiculous sources, and ultimately become the enemy themselves for presenting reality. There are ultimately people at the extremes of both the left and right being radicalized in the same manner, but the world view of the right is being rapidly outdated by science and fact, and they have to twist harder and dig deeper to justify it.

InfiniteZero posted:As somebody pointed out: he wishes to be that cool, but let's say that's true - what would that prove? Patti Reagan was fathered by a total piece of poo poo republican and she always has and likely always will have a disdain for republicans (as an example). Like that article said, I'm getting tired of living in somebody's juvenile fantasy. It's the perfect storm of Canadian right wing conspiracy theories - you get to slut-shame Margaret Trudeau, call PET a cuck, and imply that Justin Trudeau is somehow tainted by communist blood all in one statement.

Lol, what? I can't tell if this is a new internal schism or like half of them didn't read it before it showed up on the news and then panicked. The press release is awkwardly written, even by the standards of this group. Powershift posted:Lmfao, "unintended interpretations" Maybe someone pointing out the direct literal interpretation of their demand.

He was actually contacted by one of the protest organizers, Pat King, to remove the shack after responding to a plea on social media. Just hundreds of bad apples.

Powershift posted:https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-convoy-protest-shack-towed-reaction-1.6342357 You know how the saying goes, one bad apple radicalizes the bunch. But wait, so the protest leader hired the tow company to move a protest shack, the tow company, sympathetic to the protestors moved it, then was harassed by protestors? Was the protest leader also hoping to incite other protestors? e: Yes, it seems this analysis is correct.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Two quotes from Kenney so far: "MLAs have a responsibility to listen to their constituents" ~ in response to UCP MLAs negotiating with the terrorists "It's our jobs to listen to people" ~ in response to asking why restrictions are being lifted so rapidly.

Can't wait to see how all this lifting of restrictions plays out, especially mask mandates. Weather isn't quite hospitable enough for people to just flow outdoors. Also no idea how Fall will look in the end. I love that we're just done trying to save people or help hospital burden. Nope, it's time to learn to live with the virus and it will see our valiant signal and retreat, no doubt.

NCC says it wasn’t them. It looked scary - wanted to take my kids there this weekend.

How does he know he broke ankle bones  Sounds like doctors lying to him and big pharma trying to trick him into taking microchipped pain pills. e: "I'm going to have reconstructive surgery in 10 days" maybe they should call him and postpone it for 14 months like they've done for everyone else Powershift fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Feb 9, 2022 |

I've got plenty of criticisms for how the BC government has handled the pandemic, but it's refreshing to hear some actual leadership for a change. https://twitter.com/timescolonist/status/1491233655561220099?s=20&t=9IjunASfD-fduImn5yBYZA

mom and dad fight a lot posted:I've got plenty of criticisms for how the BC government has handled the pandemic, but it's refreshing to hear some actual leadership for a change. Yeah, I'd be happy if the province held onto restrictions out of spite at this point. That and waiting for ICU numbers to go down. The NDP's base of support is in areas already solidly in support of mandates/vaccines. The BC Lib leadership are more allied with business elite than the Chudosphere, so I don't see them calling for the end of mandates that are basically allowing capital to chug along just fine. Do any BC goons remember if the BC Libs have been anti-vaxx or lockdown? They feel so irrelevant that I can't even think of their basic position on the pandemic.

I don't think it's ICU numbers that are the problem, they are still fairly low, but it's general hospitalisation rates that are really high right now I feel Christy Clark was more chuddy but the more recent BC Lib leaders (who I cannot even name) have definitely been more on the money-laundering/real estate side of the party. I don't actually recall hearing a peep from them in an age and have no idea of their position

Given that several of his MLAs visited the blockade at Coutts, the upcoming leadership review (that he's trying his damnest to game and skew in his favour, of course) and that this isn't his first internal revolt in all but name, I'm not surprised in the least that he's caving. Trouble is that the "truckers" aren't satisfied with that. He's getting desperate, and feeling cornered. Look for further idiocy and active malice in equal measure in the coming days.
