It’s all just food prep for the Archons.

Or at least put on a mildly humiliating show of making an exception to our strict border laws about letting felons in.

Well, it’s untrue that globalization is a binary true or false benefit, though on the surface it’s a logical question.

Until you consider sovereignty. Particularly food sovereignty. It’s more than strategic, it’s the foundation of a stable, rule-of-law society. So it’s more than economics, it’s a governmental social responsibility, and self-preservation.

Supply management is a success in Canada, despite some problems, because it stabilizes society, as more small farms is more desirable in many ways than big centralized ag.

And you are right, there are a number of economic sectors we could look more closely at with a mind towards sovereignty, maybe including footwear and furniture, though food and medicines come first.

Getting ready to sell it all off to oligarchs.

Ah I guess that was confusingly written, no you just need to have an email address to register an account, and when you register you get a verification email at that address and click on the link in the email to verify. Like almost any other social media.

I just did this to test out the process for a client who has to replace skype in their workplace, and it wasn’t bad.

I looked up servers on the web, picked the privacy DIY server, installed Element app, registered in the app using a “token” from the server website, confirmed via email - web link, and done, about 15 minutes plus figuring out the token part (had to reread instructions).

Nah bud, it’s part of a rising tide. Swim.

Yeah that whinging from that source tells us it’s an adequate target.

They are tanking markets for both the fire sale bargains and to hurt the poor more, so they can direct the resulting anger towards projects like territorial expansion and government privatization.

You got advice to study some history from me and didn’t say -ok where to start- you just disengage from the criticism. Maybe it’s valid? Start there?

Plan, then act. Read Wikipedia about tactics and strategies for democratic development. Read about the ties between conservatism and the aristocracy for all history and realize that the only classes that matter are the workers who sell labour for money and owners who make money through control and exploitation of resources and workers.

You want to be an ally it sounds like. Well, advice to any ally of colonial resistance: decolonize your mind. Read Fanon or Zinn, e.g., or go watch old episodes of Beau of the Fifth Column or something, it depends on who you are – and you aren’t sharing that.

Canadians have been colonized by England AND the USA. The geopolitics are cultural as well. Maybe we’re justifiably touchy about people from an authoritarian colonizer complaining that we don’t trust them as much when there’s common talk in the streets about ukraining us?

1. Figure out what your strengths are
2. Find others who are opposing fascism and work with them

This is a conversation, bud. You came in here whining about trying to dodge responsibility instead of saying “I am just a retail worker who plays DnD when I am not looking after my sister” whereupon you get help. Plus you got advice and ignored it.

If 10% more voters showed up it being somewhat rigged wouldn’t have mattered.

Even though the media is owned by billionaires, if people talked about this shit and resisted aristocratic bullshit, it wouldn’t have mattered, the monarchists would have been held back. Too late now, resistance is the last hope for democracy.

Voting and selective consumption…. That’s the barest definition of citizenhood. Resisting an aristocracy is always going to require more than that. Not everyone can be a dedicated activist but c’mon, some perspective from history here.

If rioting is your only tactic, you’ve lost in advance.

Jesus Murphy, it isn’t dehumanizing it’s telling you you aren’t working hard enough or smart enough to fucking fix it, because no one else can.

Baiting people here doesn’t do anything. Go fix it FFS.

I should also add that your attitude of helplessness in this matter illustrates my point nicely.

Yes, ideology has to be actively and persuasively countered by those who are more objective.

Which is why people are so irritated by all the us citizens posting “don’t blame me!”

Yes, exactly: politics being an alien subject is the result of ideology. It’s deeply ideological. It must be addressed in day to day interactions and in culture and by educators and at kitchen tables. No one can fix it but the individual pushing forward together with friends.

But why. Why are they checked out?

You can blame it on a lot of things, but it always just comes down to ideology, the kind of passive shit like pay scales being taboo or putting up with parochialism or letting advertising everywhere slide.
