They do have a point though, that it’s your mess to clean up. Unlike so many US citizens, many of us actually know that you don’t always need to blow something up, figuratively or literally, when it stops working properly.
We don’t want to “take you down”. We want you to finally start behaving your damn selves. Clean up your own fucking messes, we’re not your parents.
It’s an unstable country that enabled this to happen. Yes, there are a lot of people who would never do this awful shit but, sorry, this is what the US is and largely has been.
Trump is a symptom, it was the institution that is US and many of its people that allowed to get into power. You can’t just pin it on him and then when he eventually(please let it be soon) dies act like anything is fixed. The US is putin’s ally and there are many unfortunate people along for the ride. That is a truth you need to face or nothing will ever get better.
That’s wholly untrue, but our voting system sucks so the NDP looks like they don’t have support because of the problem with seats. There are plenty of leftwing people here and plenty more who feel forced to vote for the centrist Liberals because the Conservatives are just plain evil. The NDP, also, despite having no “power” still do a decent job keeping the Liberals moving at least somewhat in the right direction.
It isn’t a great situation, but to say there is no left in Canada is just completely wrong.
Do you have to ask? Why do you have zero desire to share anything with your friends? Dry isn’t the word I’d use, but “bothered” sure is. You text like you want them to piss off and you want them to know it without saying it.
We can just as easily swing left here in Canada, any choosing Conservatives for change doesn’t know their fucking colours if they think that’s where the grass is gunna grow.
My dad’s one of those conservatives that’s not a racist homophobe but is just kinda dumb. My mom texted me recently that he was telling a family friend that he wasn’t gunna vote for Pierre because he can’t stand him acting like a child. I’m from PP’s riding, and my dad will often say “he’s a good dude I met him” like that means anything so this is kinda awesome that he’s at least not going to vote for that loser.
It’s the same reason we don’t love the idea of other nations being right-wing except not backed by any kind of evidence or precedence. They’re all braindead and think that a country offering universal healthcare and taking themselves off of oil reliance is gunna turn around and be a danger to them.
And the best part is that you’ll start and join a community and meet a bunch of people who started even later than you still having a great time. Also, at 19, 5 years was more than a quarter of that dude’s life. I’m not even 30 yet but realized a while back just how slowly the years really pass when you’re out of school and finally paying attention and able to have a vague level of control.
Also she is, in their eyes, an easy target. They will only punch down while calling soft the people who protest heavily armed cops with nothing but a spunky attitude and some signs.
I like how further edits only made him even more insane as he specified that it was a little girl looking for her kitten and that she cried when he threatened her with physical violence.
Screw literally everything less than hoping he drops dead. Stone cold, gone, yeetus deletus, goodbye asshole.
Have you considered: It was a black teenager and these people are fundamentally broken individuals who scream about toughness and are just about the softest little shitheel cowards you’ll ever meet?
Man, why is it so common to find those people among the group that is so clearly privileged even compared to poor people that are otherwise exactly like them?
I mean, I’m sure it’s because we fetishize hardship and idiots feel like they aren’t of value unless they’ve had some kind of major setback so having privilege makes them feel like they didn’t still earn whatever it was just because doing it didn’t come with a heap of other issues but fuck.
I mean, I’d love to see republicans prosecuted for all their crimes even though it’s been a few years. Three years wasn’t that long ago, the real issue is that what they want isn’t based in any level of reality.
“…said one Defense Intelligence Agency employee, who requested anonymity to avoid retaliation from senior leaders.”
Because of course they do, because conservatives just a bunch of vindictive school children who would sell their own mothers to slavery just because they said they couldn’t have ice cream for breakfast.
Yea, like even as a dude I’ll be in different situations where I can see someone uncomfortable who doesn’t feel like they can say no. The best friend, the person nearby, or the cousin who the family already thinks is weird can all step in to stop a variety of weirdos or even just a relative being shitty at the dinner table.
Crushes happen over time, if they were into it they wouldn’t let their friend get in the way and if they did you should probably want to date someone with some better boundaries.
