@FoodProfessor It is the same playbook of division we have seen with the rise of the radical left in 2016. What is concerning is that we are now seeing it with the right now, and it is becoming normalized.
@MaximeBernier This is a tough question. The US founding fathers have a point of keeping the monopoly on violence in the hands of The People. However a proliferation of firearms causes problems as well.
@rupasubramanya "that their concerns are not merely wrong but pathological".
Unfortunately this is the case. People have been conditioned to shut down dissident points, and their citations. Yes saying this to people will make things worse, but I have tried everything to have conversations.
@ErikGrzela@rupasubramanya You can repeat the tenants of logic, give arguments with citation, but people have been conditioned to have heresy trials rather than engage in discourse.
@ErikGrzela@rupasubramanya The solution in politics rests on individual votes to 'wake up'. The problem is that both the LPC and CPC do not represent the will of their constituents. Voters of one side will clearly see this with the other, but be totally blind to their side, and deny it.
@Kant_ankerous@jkenney Blue, of course.
I am a Democratic Socialist who watched the left in Canada copy the Democrats in the US in 2016 and go off into the rhubarb, trying to drag the centre line with them.
@Tablesalt13 It makes little sense for a justice system to let one of their wards completely leave their jurisdiction, and 'serve' her sentence outside of their control.
Tamara didn't do anything other than a GoFundMe, so did nothing wrong, but I wouldn't shed a tear at her leaving either.
@UCCavalier@erinotoole@TheIronLoon@fleming_benn The algorithm. I took a break for months, and only got the click bait slop in my timeline. One reply on a political post, and it was flooded with politics. Engage with a certain topic, and you are inundated with it.
O'Toole is right, for once.
@Martyupnorth@chaosreigns111 Look at what is in his other hand as he moves towards the cruiser, and what you can see him waving at the officer as he is in the cruiser.
@Martyupnorth At the 17 second mark you can freeze where his hand enters frame. It is clenched holding something long and slender, and moving swiftly towards an officer. Larger than a pen, but much smaller than an ice tea.
Reports said he had a knife and was threatening people with it.
@WeTheNorth_23@VanCityVice@rcmpgrcpolice The taser didn't work, you can't wrestle a man in a car that is about to move, and 3 shots were fired.
You might want to rewatch the video.
...branches set up in Russia.
Russia also surpasses the US in missile tech, and probably some other fields militarily. I am sceptical of the 'brain drain' claim as it coincides with the misrepresentations of Russian conscription, especially with their economy doing well.

Electricity? Various Europeans
Telephone? Bell (Canadian)
The internet is US.
Who won the space race? Russia had the first satellite and man in space.
Russia also has some of the best engineers in the world, with US orgs like Boeing having had...
