I think you're coming from a well-meaning place PT6A, especially because I've seen you do quite a bit of reading and reflection in TGRS. I think you're still wrong on neoliberalism and some of your politics.

Personally I'd think it'd be a tad easier to tackle cultural and systemic racial inequalities than neoliberalism and poverty, but both absolutely need to be addressed. Edit: In Canada at least. Argas fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Feb 13, 2018 |

the talent deficit posted:are we really going to pretend helsing's charming anecdote about the model minority conveniently sharing his concerns that jagmeet singh is just too...something...to be electable isn't blatantly disgustingly appallingly racist? I can agree with pretty much all of that. I mean, this is Canada and all but we can just look south at a lot of support systems in America or things that lifted up the non-rich segments of society like the GI Bill and the New Deal, and you'll realize that minorities didn't benefit as much from those programs. Don't get me wrong, those programs do help people but they alone do not do enough, and as long as racism is allowed to fester, it'll remain a useful tool to strip away programs that help minorities. Just look at the whole welfare queen narrative and how it was used to disenfranchise everyone who benefitted from it.

eXXon posted:I thought someone would have bothered to make an effortpost by now but goddamn how do so many of you seem to think that systemic racism and poverty are separable issues, as if they aren't at least partly a product of each other? What does it even mean to solve systemic racism without addressing poverty? I don't understand. The living conditions in indigenous communities in Canada (and also the US, Australia and other former colonies) are often outright dire as a direct result of systemic racism. Even if you bury your head in the sand and ignore the history, most reserves are woefully underfunded. How many still have boil water advisories? Much of the black population in the US is hardly any better off. My short answer to this is that I'm not optimistic enough to believe Canadians and the government will support wide, sweeping solutions multiple issues at once. Everything is tangled up in the world's worst Gordian Knot and we can't just cut it.

The tl;dr of why a lot of the internet is a cesspool is that lax moderation, and a desire to remain neutral or open to the marketplace of ideas just allows awful poo poo to seep in.

They're just trying to say they're the former and not the latter because the latter has negative connotations. These fuckers will just change terminology every now and then once the old one is considered too tainted to stick by. Sure, there might be some people too naive to realize that white nationalism is just a cover for white supremacy but they're happy to call themselves a white nationalist, then they chose that path for themselves.

Never seen that before but I guess I have to disagree about the idea (feels like a slippery slope fallacy, but just having a fallacy doesn't make it a stupid idea) but I'll appease everyone else by not saying anything more.

A big way to improve things would just be changing the general culture of things. Do away with rape culture, chip away at racism, sexism. You wouldn't see the problems suddenly disappear but better conduct by people would help things. But that's also way way way harder and does little for the people here now.

Just consider who bleeds to get smartphones made for cheap. Capitalism and the endless cycle of exploitation means that all our comforts come at someone else's expense. Because it's never enough to just make a product and have it sell, it has to be made cheap enough so those profit margins can be stretched just a bit more so that extra money can go to the rich.

T8R posted:I think it would increase our government revenue, which would allow us to invest in more alternative energy projects. In turn that would provide good clean energy jobs, while making our economy less reliant on oil as a whole. Surely there are better alternatives to oil transport than constructing a brand new thing that'll take decades to make back what it cost. Edit: To phrase it better, surely there's a solution that doesn't require a huge investment in infrastructure that has oil as its sole use. Something that could remain after our reliance on oil drops. Argas fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Apr 17, 2018 |

If you are not at all inclined to participate in politics or even social progress whatsoever, voting is basically the least you can contribute. But if you are there's way more stuff to do than voting, but you should never not vote if you can.
