And what have the American people done with their guns in the face of tyranny exactly?

It's just a LARP.

Fuck cars too, buddy

Motorcycles and scooters perpetuate expensive car infrastructure that makes life worse for everyone. The future is public transport and, as far as micro mobility goes, pedal assist ebikes.

Middle class is a made up term meant to separate the working class. It doesn't mean anything. The definition of middle class is vibes alone because it's a term that means nothing used by pandering politicians.

I agree that systemic solutions should be the focus but unfortunately the Liberals are incapable of challenging the system.

Yep. You have to at least vaguely be engaged in the politics of the internet (not to be confused with politics on the internet) to use these smaller platforms at all.

The average social media user just doesn't care. They want things to work from their perspective, and it doesn't matter how much data they give up, or privacy they lose, or any other thing that might be a negative to us that engage in the internet outside of "apps".

IMO, this is a pro and not a con of federated social media, and means that your discussions will be smarter on average. Sometimes, I feel sad that the days of free (as in freedom) internet is seemingly gone, before I remember that you just have to look a little deeper, and it's definitely still there.

...Then stop posting on Reddit? I thought the whole point of us moving here was to get out of the control of Reddit and their shareholders/corporate overlords

Albertan health care is actively being Americanized. Heard of Covenant Health?

Have you considered that it's a fascist death cult? Germany also crippled itself.

Agree completely. Carney is a neoliberal and will not address this problem - I fear the next election people will be unhappy that their life still sucks due to late stage capitalism and vote in Cons out of some desire for change, and they will destroy our institutions like the Americans.

NDP need to step up with a real candidate that will challenge these systems of wealth extraction.

Not sure who this is or why I should care. Not a meme
