Leviathan

Yeah, like I said, “any of this” includes that. Watching the US becoming the Nazis is not entertainment when you know it means people will suffer, not just the people you think should suffer.

Honestly, there’s nothing funny about any of this.

Man, egg on my face, I thought it was a law. The way grocery stores are actively turning hostile towards customers we should probably make it a law.

In truth, we should probably nationalize grocery stores, but a more realistic, capitalism driven, “profits before people” approach would be to make it law.

In Canada if a poorer person picked an item up at $3, then some rich dude walked behind him and it became $4, legally they would then have to give him the item free because of a price difference on an item under $10. Over $10 dollars you automatically get the lower of the two prices.

Edit: I’ve been informed it’s not a law, but a voluntary act by retailers (screams internally).

Yo, what the fuck? That’s just straight up treason against half the country.

Not to be contrarian, but I think we got into this whole mess because politicians started representing the will of people other than their voters. It should be up to the people to want to help and protect children, migrants and disabled non-voters, the politicians should just distill all their will into action in the political system. The whole point is I don’t want a leader who acts on his own, I want a representative who does what he’s told by the voters, the voters should be the ones who want better for all.

Nice. Hardcore Þorn.

Nah, I’m one of the baddies. I want conversation, not just memes and canned comments.

People have a right to live full lives after addiction. What the fuck is wrong with the US and not believing in rehabilitation?

What America says is left wing politics the rest of the world calls centrist.

Center-right.

EXACTLY! This patronizing, leading by “you’ll understand when you grow up” dogshit is not what REPRESENTATION means.

I do not want to be led, I want someone who will act like a hammer to be wielded by myself and my fellow voters so our collective arm can nail down our rights.

I fast for 20 hours and eat in a 4 hour window every day. It looks and feels nothing like not eating between multiple meals per day.

Also, people who graze, in my anecdotal observations, are always the absolute thinnest, healthiest bastards I know. A nut here, a grape there, abs visible in their thirties? Motherfuckers. If I did that if be a thousand pounds in no time. But as the person you replied to said, we all respond differently to different strategies and stick to what works for us.

Is climate change fueling Europe’s heat wave? Yes, researchers say.

Are we going to stop appeasing 0.01% of the world’s richest people to save the rest from boiling alive? No, researchers say.

He was saying that people need someone to tell them on Sunday that working until you die for nothing is fine because it’ll all be great after you die. He made a strong argument for religion just being another capitalist tool that keeps the people in line, doped up just enough to work another week. Sure, if opiate addiction in response to abuse is human, then that’s pretty damn human.

He even argued that religion mirrors the hierarchical structures of the government it exists under, which is pretty spot on.

I never took his writing to be pro-religion.

Canadians need to stop thinking of politics in terms of a binary system, it really doesn’t help that we never got the ranked voting we wanted from Trudeau. But I’m sick of seeing people get annoyed with Liberals and turn to Conservatives, it gets from bad to worse because as a country we can’t think outside of those boxes.

I know I’m placing to the choir on this site but it gets so fucking frustrating.

Sorry, yeah, totally agree.

I have the ADHD where I start getting ready so that I’m (mostly) ready to leave when I’m supposed to be where I’m going. Half hour trip? Half hour late. Adjust for trip length.

Carney is a fucking clown.

Dead Pioneers fucking kicks ass. Nice.
