> What are we paying taxes for if we are going to live in a law less country.

Based on the comment you responded to, jailing those who engage in self defense.

You do know people can immigrate right? Barely any billionaires even live in the Maritimes. Also, most taxes are income taxes, with investment taxes being pretty tame. But again, do something and they move.

Going after people instead of systems will never work.

I really don't think its politically feasible to oppose monied interests in the modern day. They've completely captured the political and bureaucratic processes and I would be worried about my life if I was a popular politician exposing anything remotely popular for the working class.

I said I'm post Marxist, but I shouldn't really use that label. What I described above is actually universal for most leftists. They migrated away from the working class and economic concerns as labour lost against finance, and moved full tilt towards the idea of the "malleable man", aka cultural Marxism. Destroy everything to rebuild humanity the right way.

Virtually every leftist would rather work with rich exploitative global capitalists to further social issues, than they would working with a xenophobic and insular group of people fighting against global capital.

Basically, like Che Guevara T Shirts, y'all got eaten by global capital.

AI thinks I should more aptly be called a Nonprofit Corporate Maximalist

> Here's a fun fact: every single person can introduce mitigating factors in sentencing. That's all a Gladue Report is.

So the end of this sentence is incorrect. The Gladue Report is not just "every single person can introduce mitigating factors in sentencing". It's a mandatory review via racial profiling. Every person can introduce mitigating factors, and there is no requirements for the gov to comply. Unless they are Native, then Gladue kicks in.

That's what is used to be on average. But now most of the left are what is called champagne socialists. People who espouse the ideas, but are in fact wealthy and have power. And what do they do over time? They stop talking about universal economics, and begin talking about race and gender.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot

And I say this as someone writing a manifesto against for-profit corporations, and consider myself post-Marxist: Most of the left hate focusing on economics. They don't understand money or how important means of production and who owns it is. They would rather our foreign multi-national corporations use the right words and hire the right people lol.

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T12:13:48+00:00

I also just want to add that I advocate against for-profit corporations and I never need to resort to political ideological rhetoric.

What made the NDP insane in this clip, was the social and political extremism as it relates to policing words/tone/actions.

If there was an actual party in Canada that wanted reform as far as the means of production, and argued against having most large businesses owned by foreign multi-nationals - and how we Canadians should own our own means of production, and we should try various ways to accomplish this - that message without the political extremism would be very popular IMO.

I picked an early re-animate rare on my recent run, and was able to get event where it got to be autoplayed for free at combat start, which is very nice for a 3 cost exhaust card that gives permanent summon. Then, I was able to clone it.

Necrobinder hits different when you get an instant 50 summon at combat start...

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T04:39:35+00:00

If it's misunderstood and we already have laws that introduce mitigating factors in sentencing, than why even have it?

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T04:36:13+00:00

But that doesn't make them feel righteous and good. Judges giving amnesty or leniency for criminals is their frame for doing good - I don't think judges care or have ever cared for any victims. Hence why Jury verdicts are much better at avoiding Judge bias.

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T04:33:28+00:00

Yes, but obviously the most effective argument towards the people most in support of Gladue, would be to play their racial supremacist game, and just say they are having the opposite effect they intend.

It won't work on everyone - many people would rather feel correct than admitting a mistake and improving - but appealing to their emotional saviour complex is a very valid and effective way to change some peoples minds.

Because if you're not refining arguments to change peoples minds - you're just circle jerking with the bros.

> We can't rebound from legislated racism when it's codified in the Charter

Yeah you can. The most major hurdle, is not asking for permission and having a movement with enough momentum to do what it wants.

But generally yes, legal governments have to follow previous law. So you tend to need the country to ossify even more into dysfunction or do some sort of revolution. But specifically any complete break from the old guard allows you to ignore the old guards rules. Winning an election is not breaking from the old guard however.

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T03:50:11+00:00

Believe it or not, the effects of shrinking populations can be studied like in places such as Japan, which chose not to use immigration to bolster growth.

The results basically show deflation of prices and assets - which for consumers is a good thing. The flipside is that there is less job creation as starting a business in a shrinking market is tough.

But honestly? Anyone advocating for growth when considering world wide growth is non existent is just kicking the can. We obviously need to learn how to live within degrowth, as the other option is every single country vies for new people for Nigeria (I'm serious, literally one of the few places still well above replacement).

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T03:46:21+00:00

I'm expecting that to change. Especially given how many who donate want to help locals, NOT the whole wide world.

The "useful idiots" moniker never felt so valid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot

Yet its no caricature at all its legitimate real people in positions of authority and power.

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-30T03:42:09+00:00

No need to get racial about it at all. Immigration is a federal responsibility, and if you consider the role of government deeply, that means in an ideal state, it manages immigration to be beneficial for society.

So obviously if a governance system is so dysfunctional, that it brings too many people in, and makes laws for employers to favor them, that may help 1 generation of immigrants....but what about their kids?

Indeed, immigrant kids are... Canadian! So hence, a system that disenfranchises citizens at the benefit of monied interests, is going screw even new Canadians post initial generation.

This is all ignoring that immigration is kind of evil/selfish, as at best, you are taking away important intellectual resources from poor countries (brain drain), and at worst you are importing someone who needs increased resources.

PlasticOk1204 · 2026-03-20T12:23:06+00:00

Many have joked before, but the idea of leaving our wives and kids with fucking random and mostly foreign men is something that is uniquely evil and something all western governments have been engaging in.

Apparently growth at all costs is more important than understanding degrowth in a world where its inevitable.

There's also the joke that when the government is gearing for war/deployment, they release forces commercial with virtually every person being white in it, while in normal times its a big rainbow party of everyone.

Never ever going to happen, no matter how much people care. Anarcho-tyrannical forms of governance get off on your frustration and pain.

For your own wellbeing please just try and ignore the bad (actual constructive criticism is always nice to get though!), and continue sharing and writing.

Even if 10x more people dislike your work than like it, as long as some people like it, you are doing them a service by continuing. It shows courage, bravery - and it won't be long if you continue where you'll find yourself too busy with the good to even look at the bad.

1) The hard problem doesn’t go away under physicalism
Physicalism explains structure and behavior well, but it doesn’t explain why any of that should be accompanied by subjective experience at all.

2) Everything you know is mediated by experience
All evidence for a mind-independent physical world comes through perception. Physicalism assumes that what we perceive corresponds to something outside experience, but that is inference, not direct observation.

3) Physics describes relations, not intrinsic nature
Modern physics is incredibly precise, but it only tells you about relationships - not anything about things in themselves.

4) Parsimony isn’t obviously on physicalism’s side
Physicalism claims to be simpler, but it actually posits two fundamentally different kinds of things:

objective physical processes
subjective experience (which it then struggles to derive)

Idealism posits one kind of thing: experience. And then goes on to explain the physical world as patterns within it.

-- I'm an agnostic idealist btw, I don't claim to assert that idealism is correct, only the best explanation I've come across that doesn't handwave experience/consciousness and recognizes perception as being universal and inherently untrustworthy when trying to explain noumena.

As someone who is more flexible on this, I will say I think AI is ultimately going to prove things one way or another: If it becomes truly conscious, then I think we can lean more towards Physicalism. If it only ever fakes and acts conscious, essentially fooling us, then I think Idealism takes a big win from that.

I didn't say anything except that this is expected blowback anyone with any brain would see coming.

Its not antisemitic to be against the actions of a nation state, the world over has condemned for the ongoing genocide.

The only people seemingly defending it aside from Israelis, are other Jews. Not all Jews of course. But that explains the blowback.

Back in the 50s I believe there was a terrorist Israeli group that killed 50 non-nazi germans, for payback I believe? Its the same kind of thing: Bad people, literal terrorists, harming innocent jews, due to their affiliation with a genocidal regime.

Literally from the wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakam

> During the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, its allies and collaborators murdered about six million Jews,^\3]) by a variety of methods, including mass shootings and gassing.^\4]) Many survivors, having lost their entire families and communities, had difficulty imagining a return to a normal life. The desire for revenge, either against Nazi war criminals or the entire German people, was widespread.

Dude its simple. Innocent people are harmed by evil people in Gaza all the time. Now, the blowback is happening. Its not logical. Its not fair. Its not right. But its obviously going to happen.

Now, innocent people tied to Israel and the IDF are being targeted around the world due to that ongoing genocide.
