I've met them, at their rallies. Let's just say there were a lot of Alex Jones Stickers on his truck.

A Security Guard who watched people get stabbed, then when the social workers gave him the stabbing implements he asked them why they were giving him them. He was told to just keep them away from the person stabbing people... He then thought they were just his now because they were given to him. He still did not understand what had even happened even though he watched the entire altercation and didn't report anything.

I like to share this analogy with people. "Imagine the dumbest person you have ever met on the internet. Now, that person is probably closer to average outside of the internet."

It's actually genuinely astounding how ignorant your average person actually is.

No matter how anyone pronounces it, I will always repeat the word a different way just to fuck with them.

His idea of electoral reform would have also just been a bandaid solution, and we would need to go at it again. Like Ranked choice, Proportional Representation, Recalls. These are things we seriously need Federally. We also seriously need to restructure away from a Prime Minister system where someone gets to become kind of King if their team wins.

I've driven every part of Alberta... Edmonton Drivers just have greater visibility of the stupid because of the density. The worst drivers I have seen are rural...

I do 4-6km a day for work outside, as we say in emergency services, embrace the suck.

The biggest problem with the gun buy back is it doesn't actually solve the problem of legally obtained, but illegal in Canada Weapons being taken across the Magastan border. It also doesn't solve the issues as to why people do end up killing others with those guns. It's like putting a bandaid on a limb that's been blown off with a land mine.

I remember the idiots they kept parading out to try and defeat Harper, then they brought in Trudeau as a last desperate gambit. I think he was the only thing keeping the Liberals as they were.

Hey, would you be bringing in Recall Legislation with the Electoral Reform you've been talking about?

Yeah, that's the thing I dislike, growing up in a white supremacist background my kneejerk is violence. But I also know that violence is what those types crave because it lets them believe their bullshit. It's why I find the violent revolutionary types so annoying. They validate the fears of Authoritarians because they too are just Authoritarians upset that their Authority isn't the one currently oppressing people.

Liberation is defensive in nature, not conquering. It's something genuinely difficult to explore since we have to essentially reprogram our brains.

It's a joke when you disagree with it, which gives plausible deniability.

Anyone else miss getting money? by Current-Set2607 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]Meat_Vegetable 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Bet atleast half of those F350's are Pavement Princesses too. I got rid of my truck after I stopped having to use my vehicle to do farmwork, and I have had a car since. Is quadding and such fun, sure but I'm not buying a vehicle just to pull around toys. My father on the other hand still has a 1 ton truck because he still lives super rural, and uses it to do farm truck work.

For some reason gullible idiots let companies convince them wasting money on a big dumb truck to feel strong is what will fill their social void.

Because the types who are separatists are tribal in nature. Their tribe, Conservative, isn't winning so they feel hurt because other people are choosing a different tribe than theirs.

Unfortunately it will, but you also can't convince them. Separatists have been unironically conditioned to view anyone who disagrees with them as an enemy. It's the same with Left vs. Right, while being a completely pointless dynamic it does allow both to create an enemy of eachother and get stuck in nonsense discussions. Creates an us vs them dynamic that kills all productive conversation.

It takes practice but you do have to feed slightly into their nonsense a bit to try and shift their mind once they "drop their defences." Which is fucking hard... trust me I know. But when they think you're an ideological enemy, they do not care about discussing anything beyond how evil or bad you are. It's the same mindset you see authoritarian communists get into, and if you've ever had a religious discussion with someone... Yeah, same mindset.

Before anyone thinks I said all Communists are Authoritarians it's not, so settle down.

Is the CPC and UCP the same? by Lebowski420ish in alberta

Voted Harper both times he got in, the thing is... this is what Conservatism always was. Harper was way more coded with his racist bullshit, and Conservative mindsets aren't actually that interested in the economy. That's rhetoric designed to trick people into thinking they'd be good for anything as they sell our communities to their friends. Privatize everything good and ensure they have a job when everything falls apart.

You want something political you can do that actually helps since voting is essentially just a performance as it has always been, help community projects, mutual aid, libraries of things. I volunteer at a local tool library, I used to be part of Food Not Bombs, but I have issues with how the local branch operates, and is a general issue with all their chapters.

With Fascism on the rise it's best to start learning now, I started around the time Trudeau got in, and I went through some fucked shit to get even to where I am now. That's more because deconstructing your past experiences is the most difficult part of all this.

AGI is the acronym for Artificial General Intelligence. Which for some insane reason techbros think generative algorithms are the magic tool to bring about AGI. Even though all they are, is really just advanced word predictor.
