Let’s not paradox of tolerance this place into a Nazi bar
2·12 days agoAnd he shat himself. Some say it’s because he heard Trump shit his diaper and did it to match his leader. Some say it’s because he was completely unprepared for the responsibility and shat himself out of fear. But everyone agrees he shat himself and has no idea what to do next.
15·14 days agoThe energy math doesn’t make sense for grid scale applications with solid objects.
However if you can get water between two places it can work quite well. You need to live close to a big change in altitude and do a bit of geoengineering to create the upper and lower reservoirs, which can be destructive to local ecology, but not as much as a dam.

You can also use pumped air underwater with higher energy losses than pumped storage hydro because of compatibility of air.
16·14 days agoWhat kind of a bot response is this? You’re not disabled or living, you’re a bot. Either stop pretending you’re a person or if you are a person make a separate non-bot flagged account.
I think there was nuance in my comment you missed, and that your views are unsophisticated and naive. I’m willing to take any path that will lead away from neoliberalism if it actually has a hope of working in Canada. We won’t even vote NDP and you’re suggesting:
- undermining the Liberals
- letting the fascist elements from the conservative parties win so they destroy everything good and beautiful about Canada, and implement neofascism.
- ???
- Democratic Communist society?
I think you’re missing the fact that we’ll be in prison or dead between step 2 and 3. Look what’s happening in the US, or in Germany with the original Nazis. Did that lead to successful communism in Germany? Or did fascism completely destroy the country and completely exterminate the progressive elements within it. Then the USSR took over half the country after it was ravaged by a brutal war to implement Actually Existing Socialism which is, in effect exchanging our capitalist ruler class who extracts our “surplus value” and alienates us from our labour and our consumption with a political ruler class who extracts our “surplus value” and alienates us from our labour and consumption.
No one has ever successfully discovered and implemented a path to Stateless Democratic Communism yet, and I doubt you have a path there that has a hope of winning or that is novel in any way.
What is the practical action you think we should take after the Liberals lose their power thanks to being undermined by the progressive left?
15·14 days agoYeah our “Liberal” PM was asked by the conservative government 13 years ago to be the finance minister. The Overton window is completely fucked up, we have neofascism on one side and the opposite side is neoliberals who are okay with neofacism as long as it keeps the progressives away from taxing the rich and regulating multinationals. Any suggestion that the systemic problems destroying society should be addressed with structural solutions, or even that genocide and ethnic cleansing are bad, has now become tantamount to terrorism.

I don’t know the route to progressive politics in Canada. I used to think that if the conservatives won, people would see how bad it got would help turn the tide left. But that’s not working, the US is a perfect example of that. If you vote neoliberal they pass shitty policies that make people’s lives worse and the people then vote for right wing neofacists. If you vote neofacists you get what you asked for.
I’m politically exhausted, but I know that delaying or ideally preventing neofascist is important to me, even if the only means to do that right now (support neoliberals) is a path to eventual neofacist victory as well.
I now have several queer and trans friends that have moved to Canada because of neofascism in the US making it unsafe for them. Some are even seeking asylum in Canada now. I don’t want Canada to become unfriendly to them. Undermining the Liberals in a way that bolsters the Conservatives will do exactly that.
How do I get the NDP to win or become significant enough to affect the outcome of Canadian politics and move us left? I don’t know but it’s not by giving credence to claims that the Liberals are Nazis. Doing that is just paving the way for PP and neofascism. Doing that will directly harm my queer friends and every other minority group in Canada.
It’s not whether it becomes a setback for liberals, it’s how much it bolsters neofascist elements in the conservative party.
That’s not true. These types of investigations basically hand over tons of political power to your opponent. Anything discovered can be implied to be the government’s fault, and if little is found then it’s the government wasting money.
We don’t have the required refinement in the media and the political engagement of the average citizen to effectively use these kinds of investigations.
Leveraging this type of investigation is part of how Stephen Harper best Paul Martin.
Hmmm creating rhetoric against an identifiable underclass, then requiring the class to carry identification that labels them as a member of the undesirable underclass… Where have I seen that before?!?
I wish I shared your optimistic view of this theoretical exemption. “Lawful protest” is already a trap word thanks to the last 30 years of anti protest laws. Police can declare any protest unlawful based on vague laws, then suddenly you’re guilty of the new hate crime. Many municipalities require protest paths in order to qualify as lawful. This law can be used as an excuse for the municipality to reject the plan and move you to a place where protesting is pointless. Here is a straightforward guide to your rights and the limitations commonly used to regulate, restrict, and extinguish lawful protest: https://lawshun.com/article/what-is-a-lawful-protest-in-canada
We already have hate crime laws. They’re effective. The only thing that’s ineffective is that police never want to investigate to find the people committing hate crimes, calling in bomb threats, vandalizing with hateful messages. This is 90% of the hate crime problem. This law does NOTHING to help identify and indict people who commit hate crimes.
So the only question left is what existing group of people who weren’t targetable by existing hate crime laws can be targeted with these laws. And the answer is pretty straightforward: people who protest the genocide in Gaza. And I’m sure other groups will be targeted.
What you’re missing, is that like the Toronto anti protest law, this law is meant to stop people protesting genocide and ethnic cleaning.

The protests usually occurred at real estate sales which happened in community centers and less often in synagogues. There was nothing inherently anti-Semitic about these protests
“We weren’t there because it’s a synagogue, we were there because we were protesting against a real estate show,” said Ghada Sasa, who was at the protest over the weekend.
The UN, alongside Canada, consider Israeli settlements in the occupied territories to be in violation of international convention,
However under this new legislation, these protests are hate crimes because they occur near religious or cultural centers where the occupants constitute an identifiable minority.
This doesn’t help stop bomb threats or 99% of the 4800 hate crimes per year that happen in Canada. It just protects Zionists.
Neoliberals literally can’t understand basic social and material facts. You could tell them all day that arresting a thousand grannies will concretely demonstrate the newly passed law is bullshit creating the pressure to fix it. And they’ll respond “well if they named themselves something else they could have protested without being arrested” until their last breath.
Neoliberals literally CAN’T think of the common good because they think there shouldn’t be commons, only individuals, families, and private property. They also don’t think there can be good, only profitable and legal matter, in that order.
A person who thought that it’s more important to write “I support Palestine action” … on a paper than “I support Palestine”.
Ahhh, the worst kind of crime, adding the word “action” to an otherwise acceptable protest sign. His kids will be proud of him! He helped stop hundreds of the worst criminal scum today and really kept the streets of London safe!

They’re both racing so hard to destroy us it’s hard to tell who’s ahead!
First of all, it’s super cool to see a content creator in the lemmyverse. Second of all, although I haven’t watched all your videos, the image you portray through your chosen titles and thumbnails show you’re pushing a basic neoliberal agenda. Lots of focus on jobs, economic performance, government debt, and scary topics like government stability and immigration.
Maybe you’re a progressive leftist who’s using this as clickbait, but my gut feeling is that if that was the case you’d be called a communist not a “liberal shill”.
I appreciate your criticism of the TFW program, definitely valid. I think I would probably say the same of most of your videos since you seem eloquent and well supported by facts. My concern is about the overall neoliberal message created by the topics you choose to explore and the effect that has on society drifting towards fascism instead of good progressive humanist development.
Also no leftist would find being called a conservative “refreshing”, and we all know how the centrist position works in practice. So I suspect you’ll continue to find it refreshing as I continue to believe you’re a conservative pushing a neoliberal agenda.
Conservative anti-immigrant garbage. Look at the rest of the videos, always criticizing liberals and ndp, never criticizing conservatives.
Absolute fearmongering trash, nobody is as scared of everything around them as tough conservative men.
I understand we disagree. I’m not offloading responsibility of specific incidents to the system. Drivers are still responsible for their actions.
Revenue from traffic cameras goes to mostly the police, not for making roads safer. If we made roads and public transit better we wouldn’t need the cameras so they’re temporary at best.
As far as safety goes, the data I’ve seen shows they initially work, then only for about 100m. Red light cameras are the same, they create rear end collisions due to unsafe breaking from someone who should have used the orange light, but was afraid of a ticket.
What I’m saying is we have a systemic problem with known structural solutions. Any initiative that doesn’t push for the structural solutions is just prolonging the status quo.
Then when you factor the human/political element it’s even worse. These cameras create real frustration and resentment among a large portion of the population. These are just people trying to work and access important services. We want them to do it without driving, and if they do drive they should be driving on streets and roads instead of unsafe stroads. When we urbanists push for cameras instead of structural reforms, then urbanism will will get lumped into that frustration and we get more carbrained politicians that make the situation worse for everyone not in an SUV.
I think we both agree on the end goal, so I don’t really want to argue, I’m just afraid that this path leads us to a worse outcome once you factor in human emotions and politics.
It’s about people not wanting to be shot. In the US their complete lack of safety training and licensing requirements mean every moron can own guns.
Canada has better requirements, resulting in fewer problems with legal gun owners and legal guns.
That being said all the “they’re coming for our guns” crap is not helping. Canadian gun owners and associations should be driving the narrative that Canada has sound regulations, that Canadian gun owners are safe, and that Canadian police are effectively tackling illegal guns and illegal guns owners (last one is doubtful based on my encounters).
We can’t keep our guns without showing Canadians that they will remain safe if we keep them. We don’t have a charter right to firearms, so we need to dissociate from the American talking points and switch to ones that show WHY we’re already so much better than the worst of American gun owners.
