Forget the porn, it’s the absolute insanity of forcing (and allowing) all these different web services to get and maintain our identities. Huge privacy breach from people preaching that government overreach is bad… This hypocrisy gets old fast.
The only good thing I’ve seen him say is that there should be more competition in the telecommunications market
The Conservatives didn’t do anything last time about this despite it being a big discussion point, and they had years of majority to do it. I don’t see them changing tack since they don’t seem too bothered by any of Canada’s other oligarchs.
All that said, the Liberals barely took a step forward on this either, right before taking a huge step back allowing Rogers and Shaw to merge. These damned neoliberals just refuse to help anyone.
I mean I’m down as long as we’re not talking going full tankie
Plenty of church-going pro-lifers feel like they’re doing the best for their communities and people in general. It’s why when we make arguments we need to not talk down to people like they’re idiots, because they generally are not.
If I was on the receiving end of a line that far up it’s own ass I’d stop listening immediately.
A typical position held by people who call themselves “left” is a desire to completely ban gun ownership on the grounds that gun ownership leads to gun violence.
Gun violence was much lower when you could buy actual machine guns right off the shelf, and mass shootings were virtually unheard of. What happened since then, and how would banning guns fix it?
This is just one of many blind spots that make the statement unrealistic.
Ok I’m a lefty but I’ve always hated this statement. It is the launching point of a great deal of ignorance and idiocy, kind of like some religious dogma.
It’s in the nature of males to seek control over female reproduction
Go down to the section titled “Views on abortion by gender, 2024” https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/
lol you get it
You’ve likely interacted with some of their terminally-online dungeon denizens before. They have authoritarian takes that would embarrass fascists, but they call everyone else Nazis. Truly a special and unique crowd over there.
You don’t tell the fucking UN to evacuate because you want to attack someone.
Like many things, people hate it because of its associations with other things. They will happily throw it out even if it has good uses. Here have some spicy examples:
Some people experience gender dysphoria and may benefit from medical intervention? Nah it got abused by ideological idiots so it must always be bad. Karl Marx says workers must arm themselves? Nah guns are bad, I know this because rightoids like them.
One of the old rules: “there are no girls on the internet”. Probably due to be reworded but the point is not that women don’t exist, it’s that your gender is actually irrelevant in most discussions.
mansplaining is a made-up idea lol
Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable.
As a man I’ve been told no one wants my opinion since the 2000s so I’m not sure where you’re getting this from.
I live in one of the more humid areas of Canada and when people tell you it can’t get humid when it’s that cold I wonder if they’ve ever experienced how the cold can just cut right through your clothes.
Summer humidity is absolutely the worst though, and people die here every year because of it.
Quick Celsius breakdown from a Canadian:
It doesn’t help that the Rust community tends to bring extremely divisive politics with it in places and ways that just don’t need to happen, starting battles that aren’t even tangentially related to programming.
The alternative is to just keep getting fucked by Microsoft…
That said, when men were losing their jobs they got told “learn to code” by callous and shitty journalists and women’s rights activists. It’s not hard to see why men are abandoning liberal governments that blame them for everything even while they are experiencing statistically worse outcomes with each successive generation.
The solution is so simple that you have to be abandoning it on purpose: promise men educations and to help them get employed, and you’ll get all the support you need.
