  • So, your answer to preventing the rise of fascism in Canada is to do exactly what the Democrats did in the US. How did that work out for them? If you actually want to see the Conservatives lose, you should demand the Liberals actually do better instead of compromising on something as fundamental as whether or not to support a Holocaust. That's what you are doing right now, calling people out for saying "I will not vote for either of the Holocaust parties." You may personally be willing to sacrifice a few hundred thousand brown people on the other side of the planet for the sake of slightly better domestic policies, but many will not cross that line. Trying to sway them with bullshit "lesser of two evils" nonsense will not work.

    Obviously, things in Canada are different - we don't have nearly as much of a role to play as the US does in genocide, and the population is also less right wing overall. But that just makes it even weirder that you'd respond so negatively to the simple true statement that "Carney supports genocide" - it is objectively true and stating it isn't even realistically going to change anything. The more I interact with libs the more it feels like they don't even believe their own "lesser of 2 evils" stance, they just genuinely don't care about murder supported by their money as long as it happens far enough away.

  • Pick a closed source/cloud-based RSS reader. They usually include a bunch of news/topic-based feeds built in. Not recommended for daily use, but it's a good way to get started (make your picks then export everything into an app like Read You). From there your list can grow organically.

  • I feel your pain. Aside from being slow as balls despite modern hardware, my Windows PC has a habit of occasionally locking up when I RIGHT CLICK on something T_T

    Then it takes several minutes of no start menu/task bar, no trackpad gestures, no file explorer, etc before everything goes back to normal... for a few seconds before explorer crashes again. The only solution is a reboot.

    I'm genuinely scared of doing anything on this machine.

  • Exactly! If it was just magic, things seem underwhelming all of a sudden - like why couldn't you give zebras wings or laser vision? Why not have a grizzly bear with chainsaw arms on wheels? No ant computers or space octopuses? Makes nature seem arbitrarily limited and uncreative (and cruel) in comparison to what unlimited magic could accomplish.

    (Just to be clear, this is not an argument against God since you could always just say "god set nature up to allow for natural evolution and has reasons for not going all out with creativity" - it's unfalsifiable but you could believe that)

    • The Bugle (satire about the news)
    • The Deprogram (far left politics, very funny hosts)
    • Blowback (documentary style show about US interventions in different places - more interesting than it sounds)
    • Radiolab (sciencey stuff)
  • You couldn't get more "clear cut" than what Israel is doing. It's also a matter of degree. Invading another country is bad, but it is not a holocaust.

    Besides, boycotting Russian products makes no sense in the West given that they are already sanctioned to hell. You'd have to go out of your way to send them money.

  • Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib had no problems keeping their jobs. It's almost like they are different from the all the losers in their party in some way (hint: it's nothing to do with race or gender).
