Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.

The hypocrisy is palpable.

The Streisand Effect

Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.

Definitely.

Oh I just assumed that every Conservative jerks off to kids

Uh… STATE’S RIGHTS! Uhm… or something, IDK why MAGAts are

There’s a whole lot of words there that I do not like together

Ah, that’s surprising — I swear I’ve argued with Flying Squid before and never received any treatment like that.

Not to say it didn’t happen, I’m just surprised. I was also mostly surprised at the ‘he killed himself’ comment, as I was under the impression he had decided to take a break from Lemmy (after a series of these events you’re describing, I’m assuming).

Flying Squid did that a lot before he went insane and killed himself.

Huh?

Nah, fuck Thor — he could have been the YouTuber pushing for coverage of Stop Killing Games, instead he decided to double down on his stupid bullshit.

Reminder — he was a Blizzard employee for 7 years. I think that, plus his ‘my shit doesn’t stink and if you think it does, you’re wrong and banned’ attitude should give you all you need to know.

I’ve heard a lot of people talk shit about Hillary over the years, never once has it been about her being a woman. I’ve heard some misogynistic things about Kamala, however — she kinda opened herself up to it by dating a man who directly influenced her career. A man 31 years her senior. However, any talk about that has always been massively overshadowed by Gaza, or whatever else they had people spinning about at the time (I feel like it’s been years even though I know it hasn’t).

Idk, I just don’t buy ‘Hillary/Kamala lost because woman’. Doesn’t seem accurate.

Now where did I leave my 30000 lb bunker buster?

The older I get the more I understand why the concept of demons was something people could accept.

Idk, some people are just bad. A cousin, adopted but my uncle’s adopted son nonetheless, is a good example of this. He’s no longer with us, thank fucking god, but this little devil was bad from the moment I met him to the point he died at… idk I think it was 18 or 19 years old.

His parents got him a pet weasel. It ‘disappeared’. I don’t remember the specifics but it was pretty clear it didn’t just run away. His brother would show up at the dining table with bruises around his neck. Just fucking evil shit like that. Ended up running away at 17 years old, died in an attempted robbery sometime after that (his memory is not something I try to keep alive).

Point is: there is such a thing as irredeemable. At least, in my eyes.

Great, what’s your solution?

Oh, don’t get me wrong — my position has never been that UBI can’t work under the right conditions.

My position is that UBI cannot work without very major changes first. I don’t doubt that UBI can inject a lot of good into an individual’s standard of living — without some kind of regulation associated with it, which requires those regulatory agencies to not be inherently corrupt, UBI seems impossible.

I mean, yes — but the reality is that universal basic income dictates that everyone gets the money.

For instance, let’s say Congress allows the perfect UBI bill to be put forth. For whatever Bizarro World reason you can conjure, because we both agree that they would never agree.

What happens next? We’ve already seen what regulatory capture has done to sectors like real estate. Corpos buy up shitloads of land, whether it’s individuals looking to be land barons or alongside corporate interests.

How would true UBI result in anything other than higher prices? Seriously, in the current markets that exist within the United States — how, without some kind of serious societal and economic shift prior to it’s introduction, would this actually play out?

Maybe it’s better in other democracies, I actually can’t really argue for any other nation — I can only apply this concept to what I already know. I just think UBI is a concept that can only exist in a place entirely separate from corporate greed, and that is definitely not the United States.

In controlled environments, maybe — however those controlled environments still interact with currently established economies.

I’m just not convinced that UBI scaled up will actually result in anything other than what takes place in the Expanse.

The second fits me, I’d love to be able to secure a life for myself and my family — separate from the bullshit in the world (if possible).

Your point - the working title is the original name.

My point - take anything with a title that may have had a working title, apply your logic to it.

None of your words matter ‘little guy’, go back to Reddit.

Problem is, hoping for one ensures the other.

whatever you need to tell yourself little buddy

Projection, also imagine defaulting to this because you had your logic thrown in your face. Pathetic, this has nothing to do with ‘winning’ — it has everything to do with you just being wrong.
