The thing is, should people have the right for their voice to be louder than others, and to participate with more force, just because they have more money?

Really tempted to say things that will get me put on various lists now.

I long for the day when the American empire is forgotten by the history books.

"Canadians didn't travel back in time to prevent their past selves from going to Florida" is... an interesting boast, to say the least.

It's mostly each province having different regulations, standards, definitions, or licensing bodies around things that are provincially governed.

Most of it is businesses not being willing to jump through thr hoops in all provinces, or those hoops making the end product overly expensive if sold in a national format.

The thing is, they don't get the job done. And one of their jobs is to win over the hearts and minds of the electorate, and they can't even make small inroads on that when people are frustrated and ready for change.

The party has presented no clear vision for voters to latch on to, and I say this as someone who volunteers for them.

In terms of the history of the game, the CPC changed their name to the PCPC when the Premier of Manitoba, who lead the provincial Progressive party, took over party leadership and insisted that 'Progressive' be added to the name. The guy thought he'd get his voters to vote conservative, but they just abandoned him in the process and voted Liberal.

It never represented policy position. It was just one guy trying to bring some brand recognition along with him, and failing. As with most conservative language usage, it was all about confusing the issue and conning voters into supporting them.

Moosehead's a New Brunswick-based company, owned by the Olands, which are a significant name in the Canadian beer industry. It's an old and well-established company, with significant means (at least compared to other independent brewers). They stand to do well from this.

Breweries on the islands do not have the distribution networks necessary to capitalize on this, and are much more likely to see themselves smothered by, well, Mooshead and the like, than they are to benefit.

The con they got suckered into is American Exceptionalism, and it's not Trumppy that suckered them. He's a victim of the same brainrot.

These guys are reveling in it, and I have no sympathy for those that choose "we're just better than everyone else" as part of their core identity.

Without looking, I would guess that these are small markets with a somewhat fragile microbrewery ecosystem that may not be able to stand up to the wave of product about to come crashing in from Ontario and BC.

No, it has been. There hss just been disagreement on who is considered "the people".

I'd love it if people could get good internet without throwing up all that space junk. Elon's been dropping satellites on peoples heads lately, his orbital toasters are leaking so much radiation that they're ruining radio astronomy, and the satellite mesh has gotten dense enough that it's seriously imposing earthbound visual astronomy.

So that people can have Netflicks and porn.

Public, terrestrial internet infrastructure, or bust.

Right? Gotta love these fuckers who only see the money side of this. The potato dick wants to occupy our communities and pillage our natural resources, and this shit stain thinks not being allowed to sell his rotten corn juice in out territory is a step to far?

We know he voted for this menace. All of these wastes of carbon did. This is what he voted for.

Trump would think that having standards for behaviour is a blanket ban on Americans, wouldn't he? He doesn't think highly of his people.

Erm, but, uh... There's nothing about decentralization that makes it inherently ad free. We currently have an ad-free network of sites, but we also used to have an ad-free web.

Decentralization does not solve this. The only reason there's no ads here is that they haven't arrived yet.

Ugh. The idea that there are two forums with the same name on different websites focused on similar topics isn't a "community separation problem". The "community" is not separated. There are just separate communities discussing similar things.

Those communities are all on different websites. Different websites, with different user-bases, and different governing rules. They are not the same space, in any way, shape, or form, and you should not imagine them to be.

There's no need to want them to be, either. Content of interest to one will likely be of interest to the others, and will find its way to them. Content that is only of interest to one but not the others does not need to be seen by all.

Let go of the FOMO. It's not serving you.

Millions of people were killed by Stalin

Ok, but was Stalin a communist? Because the USSR sure as hell didn't seem like a classless, stateless society

Oh yeah, the American Empire is over. By the time anyone else is willing to trust the US again, it will no longer be important enough to care about its hissy fits.

They've been hiding behind that excuse for a decade now. How far do they get to take it? How far do they get to go before we're "allowed" to tell them to eat shit?

Any deal with Trump is no deal at all. He's the kind of guy that, if you give an inch, starts waving his hands around about how you stole 16 inches from him, and how you must be thrown in a hole somewhere.

Granting him anything is telling him that you are weak and ripe to be exploited.
