Okay fair enough.

The Ottoman Empire did the same as the west for years,

The Ottoman Empire did what to who again? Screw them for other reasons, but that's a complete false equivalence. And yes, I know about the Armenian genocide; that happened during their last few years when they were ruled by the very much secular Young Turks.

I think that is what the U.S. fears.

The US fears nothing other than expensive oil and Egypt exercising its sovereignty over the Suez Canal. Don't make this about religion when the bombs falling on people's heads are all "secular".

And right next door to Yemen is Oman which is a peaceful place currently being bombed by no one

And they only needed to turn a blind eye to genocide and be subservient to US interests. Do you see the problem now?

Maybe try to explain, then, your "clear understanding of national politics"? And square that understanding with the fact that the most successful Democrats in recent years have been Bernie and Obama.

Okay full disclosure I'm not Canadian I'm just here for the political drama, but Canada is trailing behind Europe in terms of peogressiveness no? No proportional representation for one, and until recently no dental healthcare.

Like I don't agree with every decision they've made but it's also crazy to just view them as incompetent northern Democrats.

I don't think anyone here, including me, has said that. They do represent the business as usual political establishment so the broad comparison tracks; Canada has issues that will lead to a conservative majority if not addressed and a minority government has a much better chance of addressing those issues in a satisfactory way than a liberal majority government.

I mean it's nice to have high quality shit posts but AI is still the electronic equivalent of coal rolling.

Just in case: There are websites that tell you how each party is polling in each riding. If your riding isn't competitive for conservatives then absolutely don't vote liberal. If the people who have to will strategically vote liberal, then the people who can must vote their conscience to avoid more lesser evil politics (which just might guarantee a conservative government later on as seen from your neighbors down south).

I'm not an anti-AI absolutist, but for environmental reasons we should significantly cut down on the use of AI, especially for unnecessary things such as memes.

This is the political function of these protests.

So what's the next step? How many people do you think think there needs to be a next step? How many are willing to strike for this? Do you see the problem now? The fascists are running at full speed towards their finishing line and the American people are still dawdling at the starting line.

Man .world pisses me off sometimes.

A nation of sheep

Well unfortunately yes.

In that case one thing you can do is spread the word so other people do the same as you.

This is the same Democratic party leadership that ran Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's campaigns.

Yes but no. The people who won the party leadership elections a few months ago are not neoliberal establishment dems. They're the kind of people who would, for instance, spend 20 million dollars to primary ineffectual establishment democrats.

The filibuster that the Democrats always refuse to abolish. The fact that the filibuster still exists in 2025 is proof that they don't care about Americans.

Okay I usually take a hardline anti-DNC position, but I have to say this is good stuff. Go get 'em Hogg! However I do wanna point out that if Americans don't protect their right to free and fair elections none of this will amount to anything, so y'all still need to get stuff done on that front.

He said: “We receive a lot more hostility and even aggression from the Jewish community. They spit on priests, even when we are walking through the Christian quarter. It sends a message that the city belongs not to all communities but only to the Jews. It was not like this before.”

Translation: "We were privileged enough to ignore how bad things were before". That aside I think more news outlets should hammer this point, that Israeli oppression extends not just to filthy Muslims but to good, Jesus-loving Christians too.

which makes them a non-candidate for anyone far away from Quebec

I mean they literally don't run outside of Quebec so that's probably a non-issue.

Wow 40% increase. That's bad. It also starts almost exactly from when Trudeau took charge so it looks/is even worse.

If true then go China! If no then please China.

Here's the thing: He can just seize all that stuff; the left doesn't have a monopoly on seizing the means of production. Of course it's not in his interest to do that, but he can if push comes to shove, like say if they suddenly team up with the liberals. Of course this is much more true in the later stages of fascist dictatorship so in the earlier stages it's more of a symbiotic relationship, but even then I'd consider both Trump and the oligarchy equally threatening rather than the latter being the true threat. It's still imperative to take out the first so you can get to the latter.

Don't you know? Woke people get honorary brown certificates by George Soros so it's okay to deport them.
