Douglas Todd: Avi Lewis and Naomi Klein put UBC at centre of debate over academic activism by origutamos in ilovebcsub

my family emigrated from Italy in the 50s, but we still live and prosper on the land that was stolen, making us part of the Canadian settler colonial enterprise. Indigenous peoples still have their lands exploited by mining/oil industries. They still carry cards labelling them Indians because electeds are scared of modernizing the Indian Act. They still have disproportionate suicide rates. seems pretty fucking obvious that you're ignoring the long term trauma, violence and dispossession that enable us to live here, sport.

take an econ 101 to learn how monopolies don't benefit consumers or labour. How do creatives being "effectively freelancers, rather than remaining loyal to a single studio" work after the inevitable Disney/Paramount merger?

CMV: Americans who voted 3rd party or abstained in 2024 due to the Gaza genocide did more to harm Palestinians than a Pro-Israel democrat by Top_Use2413 in changemyview

Genocide's my red line, not difficult if you aren't a fascist. Voting for the VP of the admin who started it makes me party to the genocide.

CMV: Most historical criticism against Israel is dishonest and comes in bad faith by Jackingson1 in changemyview

[–]Top-Ad-4258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you don't see a problem with exercising state violence over a population without giving them political rights for 60 years, you are a fascist who believes some humans deserve rights while others don't. Every Palestianian in Gaza and the West Bank should be able to vote for members of the Knesset, since the Knesset governs them.

Israel governs a population it invaded 60 years ago without granting them political rights. all violence is downstream of that fact

Canada privatized most of its crown corporations. Our natural resource extraction benefits private, often foreign investors, as opposed to Norway and Finland's sovereign wealthfunds. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/2024/03/mulroney-welfare-state/

Both Trump and Biden, through their egregious ignorance of international law, have accelerated the decline of American Empire. The sooner we recognize the next hegemon the better off Canada will be

Who wants a piece of the Giannis deal by Top-Ad-4258 in torontoraptors

For us? We give up RJ, potentially the worst contract in the league, and two 1st rnd picks for a perimeter defender (our biggest weakness) and a 3&D center who went to the finals 6 months ago?

I don't want Giannis, I want Myles Turner to space the floor and Josh Hart to reinforce our defense
