I’d love to see it happen, I will support it in any way I can.

Until such time as it does happen, as long as they continue milling about uselessly expecting maga to start following the laws any minute now and doing nothing else significant to obstruct it… Fuck em, they’re paying the taxes and powering the machine that is trying to destroy us.

Oh please let’s

I mean, I can without hesitating. We all should be able to.

The states has this funny thing where when they do use metric, like in medicine, they often still use weird-ass nonstandard metric options, like decilitres. I imagine if they eventually switch their unit of weight is going to be something like “well, one fornoy is exactly how much a litre of crude oil weighs”

Mostly they see the egg as a sign of strength: he fucks up and faces no consequences. They’re fuck ups, so they really like that.

Also, at no point did anyone try to stop said asshat. That’s the bit that gets me with these, every time. The country is full of cowards and bullies.

I mean, I’m sure i don’t need to tell you, a ton of the groundwork for this was laid by that “lovable idiot” and his handlers. Bush walked so trump could goose-step

We look and sound just like them. I don’t anticipate this going well for america.

I’d have less trouble believing this if there was any meaningful backlash from his supporters. Currently there isn’t even meaningful backlash from his opposition, so colour me doubtful.

of course? All these people are my fellow man. I have no idea what your point is. I don’t think aliens did it.

It’s more like blaming city council because they refuse to pass any regulations that might reduce the number of fires, because it would hurt their donors in the construction industry.

We are way past the point where democrats could have done anything, and we arrived here because all through my almost fifty year lifetime and before, people on the left have been warning them about the US’s decline towards fascism, the takeover of their media and the dominance of voter suppression, and they’ve chosen to never take any action to stop it. I fail to see why they should escape blame now, after making the bed they are lying in.

No, fuck this. The best analogy I’ve seen is that the republicans are a school shooter, and the democrats are the uvalde police department. I’m not going to forgive a group thst somehow becomes utterly ineffectual any time they’re needed. This has been brewing for decades. If the democrats were just tooooooooo weak to do anything to prevent it in all that time, what fucking use are they?

If there’s 75 million of you, get out and fucking obstruct things. Stop asking people in other countries how to clean up your own mess, learn a little about civil disobedience, and start doing it.

Like everyone here, I have no patience for your passive aggressive “this isn’t myyyyy fault” attitude. Is it mine? I’m in a foreign nation, for fuck’s sake. Maybe you really can’t do anything from your own situation, I understand that, but then don’t come in here acting sanctimonious about it. Your labour is providing for the military machine that’s threatening me and my family. I have no sympathy.

So far, waiting for Americans to do the right thing in the face of madness has not payed off for anyone. I think it’s dangerous to expect them to start.

I’m not particularly worked up, I’m only responding because you’re continuing to bring it up. My whole problem is that what she wants people to see doesn’t actually tell anyone her plan. She has a plan, someone else posted her talking more openly about it. Her press release doesn’t actually say what it is, just reassures people without making any even vague commitments. I find that irritating. Honestly I think you should too. It’s one of the most transparent ways politicians try to avoid accountability.

Then don’t release a press release and a plan? Your comment doesn’t make sense in context.

My local store stopped stocking their soy milk a year so ago. They have a really good mixed oat/bean milk that I love though

Sure, I’m all for increasing funding to the CBC. Just complaining about how neoliberals do everything. If the minister wants to increase funding to the CBC, say it in the press release. If she doesn’t, say it. This cagey say-nothing fluff is bullshit and people should find it offensive.

Even the bears are woke these days.

Oh, I thought they might be breaking up because he’s a far right asshole but no, he’s too woke for them.

Happy to see the wannabe fascists tearing each other apart. Less happy to have this many wannabe fascists in BC.
