      Poilievre alrady said he wants to align more with Trump’s America. He’ll absolutely sell us out.

                  Oh of course it is.

                  My problem is that you apparently are one of those “if it isn’t my way it’s the wrong way” kinda guy on this topic.

                  Anarchism isn’t the only alternative, so to say, and very much not the best one as in reality it won’t scale Because human beings are a bit of a dick, in general. Same goes for communism, it requires you to kill a lot of people and basically become a dictatorship.

                  I’m very much for a highly limited form of capitalism (which at it’s core isn’t bad, it’s the freedom to freely trade) with loads of laws in place to limit the size of it (no company larger than 1000 employees, no company larger than networth of 50 million, no personal net worth larger than 10 million, that sort of stuff) and loads of taxes to apply those laws (no taxes for the poor, richest pay up to 100% income after certain level, etc, to always make sure nobody gets too rich, too powerful

      Right, but then just doing it by including more countries in the schengen agreement or something similar.

    It’s like he’s campaigning for the liberals. Almost no one in Canada wants to hear this and I bet they will vote against whatever they see as aligned with this.

        But honestly they seem to think it is fucking meaningless. They’re more forgiving about it, but they’re still out there calling it asinine.

        Exactly. He’s normalizing the idea of the violent annexation of Canada to his supporters.

    Absolutely unhinged. Nobody would have believed this “tweet” even 1 year ago, and now this is the new normal

        He is making the lives of women and minorities worse; that’s what Republicans voted for

        It’s a combination of very stupid/uninformed voters, and hardcore fascist voters who don’t care how bad their own lives get, as long as immigrants and trans people get gassed. A lot of people think the latter group is a minority, but I actually think it’s the other way around. I think most people who voted for Trump are just fascists and the uninformed are maybe 20% max.

    It’s like a truck carrying punctuation got into an accident with a train carrying words. This is so hard to read.

      Yes, indeed. If you check out Poilievre’s platform, he almost entirely mimics Trump’s, right down to promoting Canada’s own version of DOGE. That’s why there was such a huge turnout at the voting booths. The writing was on the wall with that guy and becoming American was not what the majority of us wanted.

      Well Poilievre, who’s party lost tonight, has been extremely limp-wristed in his opposition to Trump’s threats, but he hasn’t outright said he’d surrender, just implied it with his weak rhetoric. More likely to me is that Trump in his dementia ridden mind was literally calling for people to vote for him. Like somehow enough Canadians would write Trump on their ballots that it would “win” the election for him, which demonstrates such a fundamental lack of understanding about our electoral system that I don’t even know where to begin.

      I’m still trying to figure out how everything in the last 15ish years isn’t. Why do we have to be in the dumbest timeline.

        This is actually one of the most interesting and entertaining timelines.

        There was only supposed to be enough source data to make it to 2012- and that was originally a very generous buffer, since a fraction of a percent of Earths last more than 10 years after both networked computers and nuclear weapons have been invented in-simulation.

        So, the operators decided not to pull the plug and just let this one run its course.

        As it extrapolates history farther and farther outside of the initial parameters, the simulator is cannibalizing itself with feedback and undergoing model collapse.
