people are desperate to believe that fascism is the goal of an ancient and dying class of people because if that�s true then they don�t have to actually do anything to stop it but wait and see

I’ve met people over a decade younger than me that honestly think that the biggest problems in society are that “nobody wants to work” and “The Chinese”

like people say this poo poo as though all the old wrinkled nazis haven’t also been pumping out and indoctrinating little nazi shitheads

My little brother has proudly announced how he doesn't tip service workers or delivery drivers at more than one family dinner when his overuse of Uber Eats came up.

He's 20 and lives with his parents, and I'm pretty sure the credit card he orders with is his Dad's.

To be fair, I was a lovely teenage libertarian too. It's got to be the Internet radicalization; idk what my brother's on (besides games) but I spent a LOT of time on 4chan before buying an account here.

the nice thing about having a closet full of those black cloth reusable Superstore bags that you never remember to bring shopping is that they can be readily repurposed into sand-bags for future floods or for strengthening fighting points against the ChiCom invaders

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-spavor-kovrig-china-intelligence-background/ posted:

One of the two Canadians jailed by China for nearly three years in a case that was at the heart of a diplomatic crisis is seeking a multimillion-dollar settlement from Ottawa, two sources say, alleging he was detained because he unwittingly provided intelligence on North Korea to Canada and allied spy services.

Michael Spavor alleges that the deception was conducted by fellow Canadian prisoner Michael Kovrig, and it was intelligence work by the latter that led to both men�s incarceration by Chinese authorities, according to the sources.

�

The sources said Mr. Phillips is alleging that his client was arrested by China because of information that he shared with Mr. Kovrig. That information, he alleges, was later passed on, unbeknownst to Mr. Spavor, to the Canadian government and its Five Eyes spy-service partners in the course of Mr. Kovrig�s duties as a diplomat with the Foreign Affairs department�s Global Security Reporting Program.

He is also alleging, the sources say, that a senior diplomat in Beijing had conversations with Mr. Kovrig about his relationship with Mr. Spavor after Mr. Kovrig took a leave of absence from Global Affairs Canada in 2017 to join the International Crisis Group. The ICG is an independent, non-governmental global think tank.

�

A third highly placed source told The Globe that Mr. Kovrig was considered an intelligence asset, as a diplomatic officer at the Global Security Reporting Program (GSRP) within the Canadian embassy in Beijing, and later when based in Hong Kong at International Crisis Group.

The source said Mr. Kovrig was not an employee of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service but that information he gathered in China was viewed as valuable by the spy agency.

�

Guy Saint-Jacques, a former Canadian ambassador to Beijing from 2012 to 2016, said China viewed Mr. Kovrig as an espionage agent because of his work at GSRP. But he said Mr. Kovrig, who worked in the embassy from 2012 to 2014 when Mr. Saint-Jacques was envoy, was not a CSIS agent. He acknowledged, though, that any information gathered by Mr. Kovrig would have been valuable to CSIS.

All because bad guy #1 wanted to sell cell phone equipment to bad guy #2 and �lied� about it to an innocent bank famous for money laundering for the cartels.

On September 5, 2021, a "March for the Michaels" was held in Ottawa to mark the thousandth day of Spavor and Kovrig's detention.[47] Organized and attended by the families of the two Michaels, about 150 people gathered to walk 7000 steps, meant to replicate the number of steps Kovrig took daily to maintain fitness in his prison cell.[48][49]
