If we're doing gnosticism I'm gonna go take the Cainist position and say we can only be free from posting when we have experienced every possible kind of post in our life

That's the failed settler state of Rhodesia

Someone could sue Ford for looking at them funny and they would have my unequivocal support

Sorry for posting more about but the representative that I mentioned yesterday who was being censured by the government for supporting Palestine is now serving the premier of Ontario with a cease and desist and the premier claimed the rep is

And redditors are clamouring about how suing the premier is a bad political move and an example of how the left supports antisemitism. They actually can't understand someone having beliefs outside of political maneuvering and supporting whatever is convenient at the moment

Trudeau says he is not ready to accept US and Israeli claims that a Palestinian group was responsible for the hospital attack

Cmon now's the time make a statement supporting Palestine, make your dad proud

Also he could make this his moment to piss off the USA like his other dad Pierre did with Cuba

Also cheap compared to Canada, especially around the great lakes region. Across the lake in Canada is one of the most unaffordable places to live in the country, along with the southwest coast

In Canada the only party showing any support for Palestinians is the NDP, which is sad because they're the most milquetoast socdems I've ever seen and their support is similarly weak. But when one representative goes a little bit farther and actually calls for ending the occupation of Palestine, the party leadership forces her to apologize and the government of Ontario is trying to prevent the MPP from being recognized as a sitting representative. Literally exposing how meaningless our conceptions of liberal democracy are when the people who voted for this representative are being told they can't actually vote for those ideas because it's out of step with the western party line

I do when I remember to turn it on 😎

If you liked Silent Hill 2 I would recommend the game Signalis that came out last year, if you haven't played it. It's very Silent Hill inspired and has great atmosphere

Edit: Nevermind lol I just scrolled down and saw you talking about it already

Just last week the media in Canada was talking about how the Conservative Party had a new base of support in Muslim immigrants as they both opposed inclusion of LGBT issues in education. (How much of this support was real versus manufactured by the media I can't say). This led to a lot of liberals showing their true colours, dehumanising and insulting Muslims in Canada. But now with the Palestine conflict coming front and centre in the media cycle, I wonder if the inherent split between the Conservatives' interests and their supposed base of Muslim support has become apparent faster than expected. While many conservatives never stopped being xenophobic I think pundits were hoping they could keep it on the down low until the next election. However with many Canadians publically making calls for genocide in Palestine, that ship has sailed

COTW: Just saw the Chilean movie Los Colonos (The Settlers) last night. It was really good if disturbing western about the Selk'nam genocide in Tierra del Fuego during the settlement of Patagonia. If you're a fan of old westerns like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly I would definitely recommend the movie it has beautiful cinematography and soundtrack and really feels like it was made in a classic Revisionist Western style. I will give a CW that the movie is far more brutal than I expected it to be going in, so CW for SV/SA, depictions of genocide, child abuse/murder, and racism.

The movie really depicted how the genocide in Tierra del Fuego was carried out directly by capitalist interests like Jose Menendez in order to clear the land for agriculture and development. In a way that I think could be expanded to analyze the United States western frontier. The genocide of the Selk'nam people resulted in the population of the people declining from about 4000 in the mid 1800s to just 100 in the early 1900s. It also has a really interesting analysis of how different national attitudes affected colonization in the Americas. The main characters are a Mestizo worker, a British veteran of the Boer war, and an American settler from Texas, these three are tasked with carrying out part of the genocide. I think the attitudes of these different characters is meant as a representation of their "national character", the British character being pompous and detached in his brutality, the American being paranoid and violent in his fear of the ever expanding frontier, and later we see the idea of a "post-colonial" nationalist who wants to forget the horrors of colonization in order to build a nation. Definitely recommend the movie.
