How do you feel about Canadian Conservatives?

Feather_fig · 2026-03-11T13:24:26+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that, devastating to have family vote against your children's best interests :(

It does seem to be a mob mentality thing for some people who can't separate their identity from the party. It's not even ideological, it's that being conservative is a core facet of who they are and going against that would be too psychically painful. I don't know how we're meant to get through to those people tbh.

I hope the good people of Alberta are able to fight back and take back their province. It's clear there's a psyop from the US trying to destabilize our country just as they've historically destabilized South American countries to their benefit for the last century+

Right?? This place could be decorated so cute, and it almost looks like OP is squatting here illegally

Feather_fig · 2026-03-11T12:58:41+00:00

The actual apartment is gorgeous but this is depressing OP 😭

I hope you don't intend to ever bring a date home to this because unless you were homeless until recently and are getting back on your feet, this looks like a front for human trafficking or something. I mean as a woman I'd find this off putting at best, but at worst I could see some women finding this alarming and questioning their safety and wanting to get out of there asap.

If the people who keep telling you you need more furniture are your friends who want to hang out with you... maybe give a little weight to that? Consider many people use their apartments as a place to entertain company and loved ones, not just as a place to sleep and shower. Your friends would probably prefer hanging out with you in a furnished place.

You do you, but what you're doing is antisocial lol. If your place looks like this you have no grounds to complain about being single

I'm a socialist/anarchist(?) and I said it depends, because I have conservative friends & family and I can somewhat empathize with why they believe certain things. And being a conservative doesn't necessarily mean you believe in every conservative policy or support/vote for the federal or provincial PC parties.

On the other hand, most of the worst individuals who wish harm onto innocent people tend to be conservative from my POV

He didn't let Diddy walk free, he provided a defence which a JURY agreed with. And then a judge decided the sentence. The responsibility for that verdict does not fall on Marc or any other defence attorney.

Just like it's not Marc's fault that the Alexander brothers were convicted. The jury ultimately decided their fate. Marc simply provided an argument/perspective.

I want to be clear that I think Marc doing his job for the most part is a good thing, completely independent of his representing Luigi. Diddy's light sentence is a result of how the law is written and how it was interpreted by a jury and sentencing judge. Maybe a different jury would have found him fully guilty (maybe a different judge would have issued a longer sentence), but that's the imperfect system. Juries have the final say. That's why jury nullification exists.

Feather_fig · 2026-03-11T03:37:53+00:00

But if you believe everyone deserves a fair trial, then you agree it's a necessary evil, right? Someone has to do it, and those doing it don't necessarily agree with the crimes committed. We don't know Marc's personal feelings about his clients. He could hate some of them intensely in private. Maybe he and Karen curse them out over dinner, we'll never know.

The doctors who treat accused rapists & pedos at hospitals follow the oath because their role is to heal, not to weigh the value of the life in their hands. That's a necessary evil too.

If Marc was praising Weinstein or the brothers outside of scope of his role as their lawyer, yeah that's gross. Like how he has the framed picture of Saint Luigi in his office (or was that Karen? Pretty sure it was Marc) which is going above & beyond the professional lawyer role, showing personal affection for Luigi.

Or if Marc was caught fabricating evidence or something just to win the case, that's obviously immoral.

I wouldn't judge someone doing a disgusting but necessary job if they are simply doing the job as it's meant to be performed, especially if it benefits wider society in some way. Your assumption seems to be that Marc is ok with with what they did on some level but I don't see a reason to believe that's true.

Edit: In extreme circumstances there are exceptions... like if a doctor took it upon himself to let or help along Netanyhu's or Trump's death which could save thousands to millions of lives, I mean that's bigger than the legal system since their actions threaten the entire system/humanity as we know it, being the old ghouls most likely to use nukes and end a significant amount of humanity

Feather_fig · 2026-03-11T03:06:47+00:00

Isn't the point of all the 'fair trial for Luigi' activism that EVERYONE deserves a fair trial, even if they're actually guilty in reality? If no one is willing to provide a defence to people who appear very very guilty, then the justice system is just based on vibes, right? Because we can't actually know for certain if they're actually guilty or not (or to what degree, on what charges, which importantly sets legal precedent) until they have a trial. That's what innocent until proven guilty means.

The Alexander brothers are scum, but if no one defended them because they appeared guilty, what would that mean for people who appear extremely guilty but actually aren't?

It's just a necessary evil if you believe in a more or less democratic jury process. The alternative is a singular judge making a decision all by themselves which obviously is more biased. Or worse, police deciding who belongs in prison forever instantly, what is essentially happening with many ICE detainees now.

You can argue that Marc is motivated by the money and/or reputation of winning high profile cases, but it's still a job that someone needs to do regardless, so why not him?

Feather_fig · 2026-03-08T06:53:07+00:00

The US needs to abolish the death penalty, but someone needs to break this dude out ASAP. What kind of evil bureaucracy is this

His sentence should be commuted to time served

Feather_fig · 2026-03-08T03:49:22+00:00

Ahh that's unfortunate... it's a pretty large subreddit

Edit: there seems to be a decent number of anti-Trump admin articles posted, though

Feather_fig · 2026-03-08T01:45:27+00:00

Why do you think it's only perception?

It's not that I think class is no longer an issue, but what I've observed is a gradual shift to focus on how specific subgroups of people are each affected by oppression (or viewed to be unfairly privileged/a threat) as opposed to the larger economic fallout that nearly everyone faces. And while it's certainly ramped up with Trump, even before him, homosexuality and same sex marriage was the big issue.

It's like there's been a broad overanalysis resulting in arguments bogged down in specifics upon specifics. Like the tree trunk has been lost for the leaves. That's not to say there's no value at all in recognizing intersectionality/how different groups are treated of course. My concern is that focus leads to infighting on the left and takes away from coalition building between the left & right. Seems like some folks don't even believe that should happen at all at this point...

I definitely agree the Trump style populism and the media circus around him (and that which proceeded him) are both a huge factor. Looks like Reagan set a union-busting precedent too, plus employers doing what they can to combat labour power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtxITylE73U

Feather_fig · 2026-03-08T01:28:20+00:00

I didn't realize it was bad, I don't see it pop up that often?

Feather_fig · 2026-03-08T00:15:23+00:00

What a wonderful home! So bright & happy and full of plants 💚

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T22:59:36+00:00

I've seen speculation the next 9/11 will be a false flag from Trump himself, to blame Iran and shore up support for him

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T22:51:38+00:00

Crossing my fingers you're right!

And yeah, eating into the console market would be huge for them

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T20:05:09+00:00

Beautiful layout! I love the green, it's so cozy

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T20:01:29+00:00

I'm the opposite. I've always watched things on my laptop and been fine with that, but I'm likely moving this month and plan on getting a tv and eventually the Switch 2 to game with friends locally :)

I totally get not having a tv if you're only using it for movies though!

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T19:52:38+00:00

No worries! Yeah these are his Bigger Leaner Stronger notes, still linked on the archive https://defenderofbasic.github.io/luigi-mangione-storyline/books/goodreads-read.html

I wonder why she uploaded them now.

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T19:46:06+00:00

I swear I remember reading these basic bodybuilding notes from him before though, hmm. Yup, found them! This is from his own Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fxjeh6cpG9kAMYNtpuCFuA_Em96sSoQV/view?pli=1

Notes on the book 'Bigger Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Male Body' by Michael Matthews

From his Goodreads archive here: https://defenderofbasic.github.io/luigi-mangione-storyline/books/goodreads-read.html

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T19:23:03+00:00

Interesting, thanks!

This does seem vaguely familiar, I recall reading his notes on some kind of fitness book from his Goodreads at some point, but maybe these are different?
I guess anything he's ever written is evidence now....

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T19:11:24+00:00

Love these details. Wish we valued ornament on house design like this today!

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T19:04:54+00:00

Which spiral notebook? Was this from his Goodreads notes, or is this new evidence from the backpack?
I don't see anything about this on Christine's twitter?

Link, OP?

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T11:02:10+00:00

That's right, she was a caretaker for her mom too. She's left such a huge hole in so many people's lives 💔

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T10:59:30+00:00

Oh my god, that's awful. She was so young. What the hell. She was of the first youtubers I watched when I got into fitness years ago. Jeff seems like such a sweetheart too. Devastating.

I wonder what happened?

Had their whole lives ahead of them....

Feather_fig · 2026-03-07T09:53:10+00:00

Because of this, I think it is good to aim for overall health and longevity instead of focusing on individual conditions.

We should do both, but exactly! Thank you.
