https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/senate-basic-income-conspiracy-theories-1.6403777quote:Members of the Red Chamber have been hit by a wave of questionable correspondence from Canadians convinced that a pending Senate bill would take away their pensions and lead to some sort of totalitarian world government. tbf, although this bill will result in nothing (remember Mincome and how they just stopped the experiment in Dauphin without actually analyzing the data?), it seems exactly like something the government of Canada would do: implement basic income and then begin to phase out all other forms of social assistance. quote:Fascists, Soros and cyborgs well, the government is studying "biodigital convergence" i.e. transhumanism and how it might affect Canada's status as a banana republic raw resource exporter, so maybe the chuds are on to something. quote:"Nobody voted for Nazi Klaus Schwab. Nobody even knew he existed 2 years ago. He has NOTHING to do with Canada or any other country. Schwab holds a statue of Lenin in his office! This is NOT CANADA. We are NOT going BACK to NAZI GERMANY. Please see NUREMBERG CODE & TRIALS," said one letter-writer, referring to the WEF founder who has been the subject of many conspiracy theories since the onset of COVID-19.[ it's true, Nazi archcapitalist Leninist Klaus Schwab is not Canada. this article is also peak CBC. rather than discussing the merits and history of basic income, we're encouraged to dunk on chuds so that we can feel like super smart liberals.

fisting by many posted:you know, I get why the capitalist death drive, but what's the deal with the anti-mask propaganda? Masks don't interfere with capitalism. You'd think keeping more people alive would be good for capital. because of exactly that death drive, if you believe Freud. our leaders are unwell, and would rather that we all live in a world of death and disease than change. quote:Some subsequent interpreters of Freud (most notably Jonathan Lear) have argued that trauma nightmares are the exception that proves the rule of the pleasure principle, artifacts of a “damaged” or “shocked” psychic apparatus.7 And Freud himself seemed to tarry with this possibility, suggesting that the “compulsion to repeat” in such dreams was in fact the mind’s effort, albeit stalled out, to “master” the traumatic experience, to somehow make it pleasurable through the fact of repetition. But Freud also ventured something more radical, pushing for something further, something beyond (jenseits) the pleasure principle itself: a countervailing tendency to go back and repeat no matter the psychic cost, an imperative almost inhuman in its indifference to pleasure or even life itself. He dubbed this the “death drive” and saw it as operative not just in pathological conditions that manifested on his couch, but in the most basic building blocks of biology, putting it right alongside—and over and against—the instincts for self-preservation and reproduction. If the primary outputs of the sexual drive were, for Freud, the fostering of bonds between people, sublimation into creativity and the arts, and, in the mode of sexual reproduction, the production of new life, the terrain of the death drive is about severing ties, breaking things to pieces, and even suicide. And rather than being oriented towards change, or situated towards the present or the future, the death drive is oriented, viciously, towards stasis and the restoration of a kind of deadened past. It encompasses, he wrote, “[t]he expression of the inertia inherent in organic life to restore an earlier state of things which the living entity has been obliged to abandon under the pressure of external disturbing forces; that is, it is a kind of organic elasticity, or, to put it another way, the expression of the inertia inherent in organic life.”

Pope Francis apologizes to Indigenous delegates for 'deplorable' abuses at residential schools https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pope-francis-responds-indigenous-delegations-final-meeting-1.6404344 No lie, saw this headline and thought of today's date. quote:"I also feel shame ... sorrow and shame for the role that a number of Catholics, particularly those with educational responsibilities, have had in all these things that wounded you, and the abuses you suffered and the lack of respect shown for your identity, your culture and even your spiritual values," he said. "these members" ok Francis Though it's not up to me to accept or reject this.

You'd think keeping more people alive would be good for capital. No one wants to go back to the office only to have to wear masks inside the office and run meetings by video conference that you'd have been doing at home anyway. So the only solution they can see to this is to drag everyone back in, tear the masks off and force everyone into the same physical meeting room. "Why aren't our workers productive anymore???"

Pepsi Presents Jordan Bee. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: Lobster Chat posted:We must have something to set against the suffering that is intrinsic to Being.

Even if that happened it could still be a net benefit. Reducing paperwork is good. A single program all Canadians could qualify for would be easier to navigate than dozens of programs. Qualifying for federal disability pension is a huge hassle so many disabled people don't even try, or give up after the first rejection, so a program where you don't have to jump through hoops would be great. If they said, "okay everyone who asks for it can get $x per month in taxable income" that would be great. Low income people would still be below the taxable threshold, and people who didn't really need it would end up paying half back through taxes.

Covid mostly kills the old, the disabled, and the very poor, so it's a profitable disease if you ignore all the long-term disabilities and diabetes it can cause. In the US, Social Security and Medicare are already going to save $280 billion from all the seniors killed by covid.

You could replace our Premier with a busted automatic fortune teller machine and still have better answers and more accountability. Anyways, three days since exposed to Omicron at work in a healthcare setting. One side of my throat is feeling weird today. Negative rapid test. Sigh.

We've had COVID in my house all week(mild thankfully), but only 1/4 of us testing positive. We all tested everyday this week. We spoke to two doctors yesterday and heard the same thing: rapid tests are not reliable in diagnosing Omicron. One told me PCR is only catching 60-70% of cases right now. Omicron is a sneaky fucker.

I’m pretty skeptical about pcr tests suddenly dropping to 60% effectiveness. for sure they can misread omicron as delta esp for ba2 but to suddenly drop, I haven’t seen anyone talking about this. the rapid tests with the updated protocols being sent out (that is, swabbing throat and gums and nose) imo are reasonable but really rapid tests should be done on a daily basis for a few days because they were never super amazing. but that would require lots of government tests constantly being sent out and well

The person who exposed us all tested negative for five days so yeah rapid tests mean poo poo all, and yet you should still do them daily for like a week if you think you've been exposed.

I was skeptical too but I dunno, this doctor seemed to know their poo poo. They also told me to straight up ignore the five day isolation and stay in for ten days because the five days was designated for political and economic reasons not a medical reasons. That bought a lot of credibility with me.
