Nah, I'm sure he'll just call him The Antichrist again (even though Thiel's idea of an "antichrist" doesn't match up with either the popular cultural concept or the actual biblical concept). If you listen to the guy in interviews, it becomes clear he may think he's an authority on just about anything (and that people around him unsurprisingly go the sycophantic route and accommodate that belief), but he's very clearly not. He was said to not be especially political before becoming close to Jeffery Epstein, who apparently mentored him into the warped technofascist outlook that he has now.

To them, it's supposed to be "emasculating" (a concept that only makes sense if you think being a man is a fragile state that is conditional on behaviour, and can be revoked by other people but not by the very individual).

Until he started getting better at doing it on his own, I had to personally point out to an elderly relative that a lot of the expert or celebrity "news" commentaries that were being suggested to him by Youtube were deep fakes. In many (if not all) cases, that precise sentence structure was used like a Mad Lib where only the nouns get swapped out.

What? Ricochet is essentially the opposite of MAGA. Maybe you have them mixed up with some other organization.

This, the Pentagon buying up stakes in our mining companies (so minerals needed for green tech get diverted toward their military endeavours), and overreliance on fossil fuels? All of this supports US empire in the biggest possible way without us just completely surrendering to them. It's hard to believe officials could be so incompetent as to not realize that.

Someone from the UK trans community would know best but from the news I've been following, "Your Party" (i.e. the people aligned with Zarah Sultana at least) could turn out to be the most dedicated to trans rights but they're probably the least likely to win a seat anytime soon, while the Green Party has the right to self-identify on the platform for both trans and nonbinary folks, and is gaining in momentum. Plaid Cymru in Wales also has this.

Yes, it is. I guess I'm just thinking that as bills rise and capacity shrinks, there could be a provincial govt-led effort to reduce demand on the existing grid.

Does it have to be perfect? Even partial coverage would at least reduce demand from the grid and lower electricity bills for all. Winnipeg could be covering rooftops with panels wherever possible (and tenants could be hanging them from apartment balconies & windows like they recently approved in New York). Right now it's just farms and other businesses doing it, which they probably wouldn't be if it weren't for the fact solar starts paying for itself immediately upon use. I suppose these places have just worked something out on their own for when snow starts accumulating and/or are resigned to more of the benefits coming from longer summer days than in the winter. (I wonder if there's a possible market for accessories like heated "windshields" that can make snow clearing easier and less likely to invite damage.)

He was attacking labour before the majority, really. For example, we don't even have a dedicated Minister of Labour anymore, as of Carney becoming Prime Minister. The push for more AI is also from before the majority. And since affordability is of most concern to workers, I'll throw in that he seems to have no interest whatsoever in investigating price-fixing, collusion, and other anti-competitive practices in the biz world.

Avi Lewis has pointed out Labour economists should be included to represent workers in decisions that affect them, and not just 100% Neoliberal economists that treat government exclusively as a business enabler.

Or affordability, for that matter.

I believe there already is a coalition of people in favour of human rights and hopefully they can make a difference somehow, but the problem is that the country has gone so fascist that the majority of people are in favour of this kind of content and rhetoric. It's not just bad apple soldiers and prison guards.

There have been many interviews, polls, and other public cultural instances to document that most of the public is largely in favour of ethnic cleansing, prisoner abuse, and even more war. There need to be arrests of war criminals, but also some kind of psychological intervention to get the ones who weren't actively involved to realize how much of their humanity they've been discarding. De-Kahanification, I guess you could call it.
