"Poilievre continues digging a hole for himself" - alternative headline.
I really don't get how the conservative party isn't capitalizing on the shifting popularity of Carney's decisions and the global political landscape by being more staunchly pro-Canada than the Liberals. But nope, apparently "US lapdog"-mode is all they know how to do.
As I wrote before, I think this is strategic maneuvering on the alcohol ban on his part. On paper he can make it look like we're acquiescing to their demand, while in practice it won't make a noticeable dent in their alcohol sales.
Gee, nobody saw that coming.
The further I read into that article the more I wished this was fake. Nope, turns out it is actually a thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M44_(cyanide_device).
Seriously, what the fuck?
To be fair, he kept his personal life away from the media as much as he could. Especially later in life. So there's a decent chance many of them simply didn't know him beyond the hits and headlines.
Is that in reference to Bowie's coked out era where he declared Hitler the first rock star? Or am I missing something?
In hindsight I have no idea how I managed to play it this much at such absolutely horrendous FPS, but I burned hundreds of hours in that game. The bot AI was surprisingly good in local matches.
I think we could consider it a form of eco-terrorism like sabotaging an oil pipeline. It will hurt the ecosystem in the short term, but it hopefully reduces the much larger ecosystem damage the company would've otherwise done in the long term.
I mean, there is an argument to be made for wrecking the financial models these companies run on by running their subsidized or "free" tiers into the ground. Right now, all of them are kept afloat on nothing but investor speculation, so if the financial results start to sour (further) there's a good chance the whole house of cards folds on this "industry" when those investors back out.
Doing it by creating pictures of Mario smoking weed is perhaps not how I would approach that, though.
That wasn't my intent, both men should be considered to have agency and responsibility for their actions. I just don't want history to forget that neither man operates alone, and that there was/is a group of people who are just as evil surrounding them that we should hold just as responsible.
Yeah, that's exactly why he should be held responsible for it, I'm absolutely not trying to debate that.
I'm just trying to get people to look past the "great man theory of history" and admit that Hitler didn't happen in a vacuum. You don't get a Holocaust without people around him being willing and able to carry out evil themselves. Which means that saying "Hitler caused the Holocaust" let's a while lot of other evil people off the hook, who all played crucial parts in making it happen.
I'm hammering that point because it's so relevant again today. Trump might be an evil narcissist piece of shit, but by himself he's relatively harmless/containable (see the relatively smaller damage the Trump 1 regime did vs Trump 2). It's the folks who are just as evil themselves enabling him that are exacerbating the impact this time around. And if we're ever going to see Nuremberg style justice for this presidency, I'd be extremely disappointed if only Trump gets held responsible.
Yeah, I see those ill-informed folks around here in rural BC as well, but they do seem to be a shrinking minority. Much smaller than the "Fuck Trudeau" crowd was at its peak.
