The masses seemingly have no political or historical memory. Their "political memory" is a manipulable nostalgia, a sea of empty signifiers - of values and ideals - waiting to be filled with corporate state-pushed patriotic and tribal meanings. Puppets.
@archpng The level of Islamophobia here is off the charts. There are plenty examples of Christian violence and barbarity throughout history, so a more intelligent conclusion based on the logic of those comments is that both Christianity and Islam are violent, destructive religions.
@FootballCravee I hope all the commenters here have a high enough IQ to realize that's fake. It doesn't even look like a statue. And if it were real, it'd be one of the worst statue fails in history haha
@USUN@AmbUNReform The Board of Peace is a pilot project for a technocratic authoritarian city state, a test-run for the dark globalist vision most of the ignorant people in these comments would vehemently oppose if they actually understood it and the interests behind it.
@rganel@USUN@AmbUNReform You really swallow all that propaganda whole eh. If Israel is telling the truth about Gaza, why have they prohibited all journalistic access now? And I'm curious how you rationalize the new video of Ben-Gvir telling the military to take out abducted Israeli soldiers on Oct. 7?
@ChrisHe867@quesoliker@CENTCOM The only unhinged, fundamentalist ethno-fascist state that has nukes in the region is Israel. The Ayatollah the US and Israel murdered literally had a binding religious decree against nuclear weapons. But hey, facts don't matter when you're shilling for Netanyahu π
@ms_viola_lee@quesoliker@CENTCOM Exactly. It's the govenment's job to use your taxes to bomb kids in other countries, and in the case of Israel, bomb the universities they might attend while they're at it. Don't be so stupid you'd ask for that money to go to something worthwile in your own nation, commie!
@shah_hosein@drmaisato Did you see the amount of people who came out for Solemeini's funeral and to protest the US? I'm curious who those people are, if not also "the people of Iran"?
@JamesKenney3@mtracey Yeah, so is Saudi Arabia, but that never bothers the US or Israel enough to lead to crippling sanctions and bombs. I wonder why that is?
@TheBlueGem3@MarkJCarney We're already a ways down that slope, and WEF-card-carrying Carney is a globalist who's happy to see the erosion of nation state sovereignty.
@G_Anderson1@BoardofTrade This bill is the nail in the coffin for municipal democracy in BC. The BC NDP have become entirely captured by the development lobby (the UDI) and are literally working to dismantle democracy and municipal sovereignty in the name of market rate housing deregulation. Shame!!!!
@EliStrawmaning@cenkuygur There's a huge difference between Palestine and Ukraine: the regions Russia invaded have large ethnic Russian populations, and places like Crimea are majority Russian who want to rejoin Russia, especially since they were being persecuted by Ukraine prior to Russia's invasion. π
@cenkuygur How is gender ideology truly leftist at all? If something can so easily be extricated from a class conscious, anticapitalist critique and embraced by neoliberal institutions, then it's not fundamentally leftist at all β it's a tool of neoliberal co-optation.
@JustinTrudeau It's really disheartening to see the low level of the conversation here. The critique of! (neo)Liberal immigration policies needs to focus on those who exploit immigrants for cheap labour and collude with the government to suppress wages while inflating rents.
@MattBirms@richardzussman They've stood by while our medical system has collapsed, our cities have become overrun with homelessness and drug abuse, and rents have reached exploitative levels (while refusing all along to implement vacancy control). Better than Rustad, but not worth celebrating IMO.
@trying2help @SoniaFurstenau @BCGreens Hilary lost the 2016 election because she was arrogant and didn't campaign in key states. This time around, if the NDP lose it will be because they've literally destroyed our healthcare and seriously lowered our quality of life. Nobody to blame but themselves.
@bruce_mcgonigal @SoniaFurstenau @BCGreens The NDP has already been doing the bidding of the development lobby, and look where that's gotten us. Rustad has promised to give those same corrupt interests even more power. No thanks!
@SoniaFurstenau @BCGreens The NDP doesn't really care about the climate. What they really care about is expanding mining and being a puppet for the development lobby. Fun fact: John Horgan went directly from government to sitting on the board of a coal-driven steel company lol.
@Bstn_trumpstah@thevivafrei@KamalaHarris I agree, but Trudeau won't win. Even if these neoliberal, WEF-puppet con artists lose though, they'll just be given spots in WEF or some other globalist organization where they'll continue their work destroying the middle class and leading us all to an authoritarian dystopia.
