Your bias colors the post in a light that is favorable to your interpretation. Interpreted from a wider lens, it is genuinely perpetuating sexism. You've simply internalized it.
A 2 week old account posting over 250 times in that tiny duration, spending every single post completely blasting the Liberals and pretending to care about the NDP.
Hmmm...
Not sure I've ever seen such an egregious case of being on someone's payroll. Then again, I guess there's a chance this is someone so cripplingly, unapologetically far down the right-wing misinformation pipeline that they've completely lost control of their life and spend every waking moment trying to get images of the Liberals inviting immigrants into Canada and shutting down oil pipelines out of their heads.
Oh come off it. You and I both know that the man in this image is not the butt of the "joke," and it's an insult to both our intelligence to pretend otherwise. Fucking sad that it's 2025 and we're still defending pathetic positions like "the only thing that really impresses women is wealth" under the guise of shit like "no, no, see, he's old, so it's actually a deep and nuanced boomer humor Facebook post from Grandpa."
Sling insults and argue ad hominem to try and deflect all you want, this meme is base level, early 2000s sexism.
I am hard convinced that most "Albertan" seperatists are genuinely astroturfers trying to sway Canadian politics.
The ones that are legit are your bog-standard victimized conservative types. Every hardship they've ever faced is the fault of someone taking something they "deserve" with no genuine logic behind it rather than a self-centered belief that they are entitled to a level of prosperity that the majority of the world can barely dream of. So they aren't mad about one or more clear things; it's the general sense that they deserve more than they've been given, and the constant lie that others have been taking from them.
I know it's not the point, but this toeing of the age line is just as gross as going after minors imo. We need to respect the nuances of human relationships rather than reducing it to a number.
Mind you I get that this guy identifies as having aspergers, so nuance is not his fortee, but still.
I hate that you get downvoted for pointing out the reality of the situation.
Relative to the price of everything else, $80 for a AAA videogame is actually reasonable. The problem is that rent has gone up drastically, food has gone up drastically, and our wages have stagnated. Getting pissed off at Gearbox for charging $80 for Borderlands 4, and then paying $15 for a burger and fries without an equal reaction just doesn't seem sensible to me.
Everything is awful, and videogame devs aren't the ones stealing all our buying power.
Uh, excuse me? They're not American. Their skin is 1-2 shades too brown. They were here for the land and jobs that belongs to honest, god-fearing Americans.
/s because holy fuck, that could be a real response today.
Exaclty. I can find you an indie game in the last couple years for each top-line category. Well, except coding the entire game in assembly. I mean, it's a flex, but we just don't live in that world of necessity anymore.
Yeah, you gave me the benefit of the doubt and I appreciate it, but I want to say clearly that Hitler was anything but a genius. He had a penchant for sticking his nose into professions that he had no business involving himself in, and making decisions that he had no background in, education on, or understanding of. Like Trump, he was a narcissist who thought he knew best just because he is who he is, and was not self-aware enough to let the professionals work.
Perhaps eloquent was the wrong word, as I wrongly assume Mein Kampf was his words, when in reality it was likely the words of his editor, followed by a translator. Instead, I would say that when you hear him speak, Hitler's voice is powerful. I cannot the same for Trump. One feels like a commanding leader, and the other feels like a toddler throwing a tantrum, though they were both, ultimately, the latter.
Also, just so it's on the record, I read Mein Kampf as part of a minor in history. This was not personal interest, though it is an incredibly interesting text. It was fascinating to discover he devoted ~2.5 chapters to the importance of the same kind of simple, yet powerful finger-pointing rhetoric used by right-wing ideologists to this day. I joking say it's one of the earliest texts on meme theory, and it's only half a joke.
This. Canada's food standards have always been leaps and bounds ahead of the states, and we won't sell American food that doesn't meet Canadian standards.
That said, fuck Trump and the US right now (sorry to those of you that are along for the ride) and look for Canadian alternatives anyway.
a person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.
Federalist:
a person who advocates or supports a system of government in which several states unite under a central authority.
Both pulled from the OxfordLanguages dictionary that Google uses.
And, of course, Nazi is short for the German pronunciation of "National Socialist."
The problem is not a belief in government. The problem is in the belief that there is something intrinsically better about your nation that gives you justification to look down on other nations. Fuck nationalism.
Call me crazy, but I don't want nationalists in this country, full stop. We can love and respect our nation without being worked into a blind, fervent frenzy.
People are real quick to point out that the Nazi's had "socialist" in their party name, and real fuckin' slow to pick up that it was preceded by "national."
