My best guess would be social media and how they facilitate and enable the spread of misinformation and actively block information about certain topics like trans rights, Palestinian genocide, or news that hurt conservative groups. Then there's the algorithms. You click on one of the toxic posts and you're done for.

If you go on youtube, you quickly get recommendations like Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Jordan Peterson or even Andrew Tate.

If younger Canadians spend more time online today than the previous generation, it's no surprise.

Ok, embedding it is great. And I didn't know you could do that! That's so neat!

Thanks for sharing that! :)

No and even if you could, I wouldn't recommend it.

Lemmy servers are run by volunteers on infrastructure they pay for, including storage.

I suggest you post to a video sharing platform instead and post a link to th6y video.

The liberals should become the conservatives, NDP the liberals and the greens could become the left.

American: "Hello there!"

Other "American": "Hi! How are you?"

American: "Great, and yourself?"

Other "American": "Good! Great weather we're having, eh?"

American: "What?"

Other "American": "What?"

American: eyes the other "American" suspiciously

Other "American": "Aw shit, my cover is blown." Stabs American

The collège des médecins, the authority on how many people can study to become medical doctors, is a god damn bottleneck. They're in on it. They limit the number of people who can become doctors to keep the demand and wages high.

Think.

Bauce.... 🤦‍♂️

I think that frustration is largely responsible for the conservative party's popularity right now. More than any policy they want to pass. That's scary because that means either people are ignorant about their platform or they're really enjoy seeing other people suffer.

And I agree with you that the Liberals are fascist enablers.

But at this point, if it's so tight between the liberals and the conservatives in B.C., and you know either one of these parties could win and the other ones have absolutely no chance of winning, would you push people to dilute the non conservative votes across the other parties instead of voting for the one that can defeat the cons?

In my riding, the liberal candidate is projected to win, followed far behind by the bloc québécois candidate and the NDP candidate. So I'm not worried. I voted NDP just for the stats at this point, to show they have support here. It won't make a difference.

But in many ridings in B.C., it might.

Doesn't mean you're wrong though. Your comment is still very relevant.

I think here their best bet is to vote liberal to defeat the conservatives. It's really not ideal but with this voting system, it's the best way to ward off fascism in Canada.

Ever day it gets fucking worse. I'm so sick of this world. Here in Canada we have the conservatives trying to push a similar agenda and similar laws and its unfathomable that, after what we're seeing in the States, that people still want to vote for that.

I don't think I want to go on in such a world. Unless people start getting violent against these intolerant psychopaths, I don't think there's any hope of them ever backing down. Our freedom is at stake here. We can't let them go on like this.

True.

Seriously, why are people so shocked by naked bodies?

Ever been to a nudist beach? It's awesome.

What... He's gonna offer them jobs because he thinks they're freeloaders? Pull them out of their reserves and make them work for cheap for his little friends?

Yeah I bet PP has some great ideas. 🙄

Democorporation

You're thinking of coops.

I'm thinking of starting a grocery co-op in my neighborhood to provide low cost food to everyone. A co-op is a democratic organization where all its members have av equal say on how to run things and how to manage profits.

It can be a financial institution, a store, a housing complex, etc.

Co-ops are the answer to escape corporations and capitalism.

It's a damn shame they couldn't be at any debate.

Holy shit!

I read bios like this and I ask myself what the fuck have I been doing with my life.

Got offered interviews at Raytheon and Lockheed once. Said no immediately. Can't have a good conscience working for these companies.
