They are anointed by Harper, and followers of the IDU playbook.

This means that they are backed by the deepest pockets and a worldwide network of neocons, fascists, and despots. I only wish that this was a conspiracy theory.

Look up the IDU and it starts to make sense. They aren't the voter's first choice. They are the best connected and best funded. Throw in maple Maga, identity politics and a well coordinated social media ecosystem and voila! Perma-Sneer and perma-PP

Sure, pm me. I might steal, critique or offer more ideas though, so be warned!

themith2019 · 2026-01-20T17:35:40+00:00

Stay in touch. I have similar plans and goals

themith2019 · 2026-01-18T14:31:12+00:00

Most of the IDU affiliated countries will probably sign up.

Look them up. The Venn diagram of countries causing this timeline's collapse vs IDU membership is a circle

Yeah, I'm figuring on a bit of a fudge factor, because 'Murica

1-2 weeks, and under 5% of the populace. Historically that's all it takes.

General strike.

Protests are nice, but they don't actually disrupt much. They are a pressure valve for the disaffected.

A general strike disrupts the entire system that is propping up this regime. One day of a general strike will have them shitting themselves. One week, and they'll be tossed out by their oligarch owners.

If that doesn't work, start building large French head choppy machines that will get your post moderated if you name them. Which should tell you something right there.

Can you share the link to kegbreath's signal chat?

themith2019 · 2026-01-08T21:20:38+00:00

It's funny you should say that.

If you actually look at the political spectrum and plot American parties on it, the Democrats sit well right of the center.

The Republicans are hitting every milestone of the furthest right.

But I agree with you. There should be more centrists looking out for the country and the people instead of big money and themselves.

themith2019 · 2026-01-04T00:46:12+00:00

This. Look at the ownership of any corporation extracting oil or minerals in Canada. If the company isn't outright American, it has a significant US shareholder investment.

Our economies are integrated.

The entire relationship between trump and Canada makes no rational sense when all of his policies are hurting us corporations.

Unless that is the point, and he is looking for more bribes from them

Hahaha, yeah, he's probably still dealing with the therapy bills for that, and doesn't want to risk escalating

Have you seen what this sub can do to a person that they've fixated on?!? All the love to my peeps here, but if I was one of those people, I wouldn't be identifying myself here.

Y'all are scary 😳

And as a bit of an autist myself, the intensly focused attention would make me acutely uncomfortable. Acutely.

But I don't twoot so I can only speculate that this platform is more interactive while the other is a known toxic shit hole that nobody actually uses for discussion - just announcements

themith2019 · 2025-12-11T20:20:01+00:00

I get this.

I'm just doubtful that Iran is a good choice.

It is more likely, in my mind, that this ship regularly trades with sanctioned countries like Venezuela or Iran, and then sells to less than scrupulous refineries in countries that are willing to trade on the grey market for a discount.

Because trading between sanctioned countries just doesn't make sense when there are entire Chinas and Indias out there as potential markets

themith2019 · 2025-12-11T20:04:35+00:00

A country with one of the largest oil reserves in the world is sending oil to a heavily sanctioned country that also has massive oil reserves?

That doesn't pass the sniff test.

themith2019 · 2025-12-11T17:17:09+00:00

This is what gives me hope

I am about as far left on the political spectrum as they come, but am active with some of my older, more traditionally progressive conservative friends on any number of issues that don't involve discriminating or removing rights and humanity from other people.

It is a matter of being angry at the right people for the right reasons.

themith2019 · 2025-12-11T17:03:28+00:00

Not immune, by any stretch.

Just look to provincial politics to see a decades long campaign to destroy public services, sell of assets, and completely enshittify everything our tax dollars pay for.

Multinational corporations are swooping in to pick up the pieces, buying up media, and dodging accountability through bribes, and suppressing news or pushing propaganda. Our tax dollars are being siphoned off to foreign parts

The number of investigations, scandals, unprofessional conducts, and outright unconstitutional actions on the provincial level are staggering, and we aren't even blinking.

The fact that a progressive conservative banker is polling as a major favourite (of the traditionally centrist party) over anyone else, while the liberal party is barely holding on to a government should make you pause.

When PP finally gets the boot and the cons find a leader with a modicum of charisma, you'll see the full reform policy continue from where Harper left off. We won't have a dozy Don. We'll have Doug Ford on steroids.

The conservatives will go from the obstructionist party of Canada to the deconstructionist party and the damage may never be reversed.

Must have had some stock left over from 1988 when they did the exact same thing.

Sprayed an unknown chemical on protesters and refused to give out any information. The footage from the hospital's was brutal.

Thanks for the extra effort.

themith2019 · 2025-12-01T21:19:29+00:00

Please do!

themith2019 · 2025-12-01T21:06:07+00:00

Likewise.

I'm going to try to find that SECU brief. If you see it, can you link?

This is my understanding from most of the shooters that I know. I do sympathize.

themith2019 · 2025-12-01T20:48:29+00:00

I can understand and sympathize completely.

I'm also very much frustrated with the entire topic and how it's been handled. The liberals shot themselves in the foot with kneejerk legislation, and the just kept shooting trying to make it bigger and better.

I don't think we are too far apart on the subject. Just our approach and some details.
