I'm increasingly convinced that cancer runs in the family alongside manic-depressive disorders. Fortunately, it again proved to be one of the easily treated kinds. I'll be out of town on the weekend w/ the patient to celebrate & then my time will be free for poasting. I hope.

Russia isn’t my enemy, Ukraine isn’t my enemy, Marvel-brained redditors and NPR Americans are my enemy

One thing to keep in mind is that as recently as the Obama regime Biden served as the provincial governor of the Ukraine whose officials served at his pleasure.

Our regime is allergic to the rectifying names, but that's what he describes

In the film 'The Twentieth Century', biazzaro biopic on William Lyon Mackenzie King, there is a competition between raising 3 Canadian flags: a kind of proto-fascist flag 'The Fury', a proto-commie flag 'The Tendresse' and the milquetoast lib 'The Disappointment.'

Jesuit: listen to these 'experts' (who advocate puberty blockers)
Fox: this Jesuit supports puberty blockers
Jesuit: no, I just said listen to the experts

@BamaExpat Which one? The Priemer of Québec in the 90's blamed "money and the ethnic vote." (Canadian Jews immediately asked "What did he mean by this?" lol)

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

Remember this whenever the inevitable call to take in "Ukrainian refugees" comes.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

This isn't a joke, and I'm not talking about, shall we say, "early life" Ukrainians, (although THOSE ones are of course the loudest in calls for war against Russia) I honestly mean that authentic Ukrainian-Canadians were responsible for this.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

@Pain_Anthony_88 This would be correct against any other enemy, but Ukrainian-Canadians invented multiculturalism so being called "racist" is actually relevant to this conflict.

>tfw all the anti-muslim LOTR memes u posted in the 2010s accidentally became NATO propaganda on reddit.

[Konstantin Velichkov @Konstant_V]

@TAJackson20 No, I meant they were comparing the Chechens preparing to go into battle to Uruk-hai. Surely a bannable offense in peacetime!

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

@Konstant_V Oh shit. Well, neocons are back on the left so I guess "Islamophobia" is legal again.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

USA was/is obviously going to back guérillas and terrorists in Ukraine in the case of Russian occupation, so we may be going into Years of Lead 2.0 here.

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

Thousands of Muslim shock troops gathered in Chechnya’s capital after Friday Islamic prayers to show they’re ready to help Putin invade #Ukraine. They shouted “Allahu akbar” and showed off their rifles.

@Konstant_V Slavs are white so, unless I missed something, that was already the case.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

What's even funnier is that Ukraine has actual natsoc paramilitary groups so Putin's "they're Nazis" excuse is like a hundred times more plausible than antifa's lol.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

I have never enjoyed Twitter more than I have in the last week. 🏴s flailing around and screeching that Putin is a fascist and you can't trust someone just because they say they're doing "de-nazification" is divine justice of the most satisfying sort.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

Or rather, given the possibility of Islamic VS. Slav militias, it might even hit Yugoslav levels.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

Assuming, of course, that this is real news and not a clumsy attempt to graft together two neocon narratives. (Andy has the right enemies, but he's quoting the Times here)

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

@sepailov Debatable. They lost, but they tied up the area for years and made the Russians and Assad pay a significant cost to dislodge them.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

@PunishedSnoop Sure, but this wouldn't have even happened at all if this were normal. Trudeau couldn't GET cops to arrest the truckers or their supporters. If he leans further into financial warfare next time (because bankers at least follow instructions) then this could stick.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

Got done with an appointment at my credit union and left to find a protest outside. Apparently the anti-mandate partisans did not forget that the finance industry were Trudeau's strongest supporters during this trucker incident. Going to be very interesting if this sticks.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

Because, here's the thing: the banks didn't just go along apolitically with government imperatives, they did so in return for officially limited liability in cases where, as an example, they froze out people who didn't donate or protest. Going to be spicy if ppl remember this.

[Friendly Whale Shark Jackson @TAJackson20]

Anyway, it will be a delightful development if usury becomes as linked to shitlibbery in the public mind as journalism is. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for this opportunity.
