Soup

It’s wild what they’ll put up with until you realize that they’re simply trying to pretend like it’s only the start so they don’t need to actually do anything about it yet.

They could be personally being stabbed and they’ll still say “ohhhh boy when it gets REAL bad I’m gunna be so cool and badass about this”.

Oh yea, all the centrists who don’t make things worse but also don’t make them better are really actually so awesome. All the people not paying attention are so cool.

The slightest thing goes wrong in France and they’re dumping manure in the streets. They’re fighting the police, they’re screaming and yelling protesting. Meanwhile, in the US, you get the occasional big thing like the BLM protests which loses steam after some time and sanctioned weekend protests like the No Kings stuff.

I have some good friends from the US, sitting beside one right now, but fucking c’mon, guys, get it together. Complacency, thy name is America.

Conservatives don’t cancel, in their minds, because being cancelled is inherently unjust according to them. It’s unjust because it pretty much only happens to them as they’re the ones doing heinous shit to people, and they don’t pay attention when someone who isn’t openly conservative gets cancelled for bad behaviour.

They live in the alternate relaity built for them by their media and they lack the ability to pause when they hear something a little crazy and check it out.

Do you…not understand how little autonomy you have under Liberals and Conservatives? Not only are their laws actually pretty shitty, but by quietly soft-locking the working class put of having enough money to genuinely participate in the market you also have very little power there, too. There also won’t be much of a place left to hunt for your food after those two are done selling off and exploiting all that land.

If people do not see how obviously bad the Liberals and Conservatives are, and if they are stupid enough to vote single-issue on the dumbest fucking thing imaginable compared to everything else going on, then there’s no way they’re going to flip parties because of any concessions. Single-issue voters very often use their pet issue as their excuse, not their reason, and will vote away all their rights and power for the love of the game.

You vote Liberal and Conservative and you get precisely what you deserve. You can vote to turtle up and being afraid of everything, allowing the wealthy to take everything from you and your community, or you can grow a backbone and try to help shift the culture. They don’t give a fuck about you, and the best you can do to work against that is make excuses for them?

You can’t fight the wildfire that will claim your hunting grounds with a fucking gun, genius.

He better act quickly considering how close he is to death.

Ya know, it’s always sucked so much having to watch evil people get away with shit and growing old more less ok. Getting to watch Trump’s brain falling to pieces with such detail is kinda fun, in a morbid way.

Conservatives must be losing it trying to figure out whether they should be against public defecation or for it.

Not only that, but the side of politics which regularly fantasizes publicly about murdering pedophiles is awful quiet about the fact that the vast majority of offenders come from their ranks.

They’re also the people who build their career on never stirring the pot so they can make their clients feel special. They’re built to be sycophants and their jobs are, and this isn’t even necessarily a bad thing, a little more nebulous which means they’d feel the effects much less strongly.

“When I do it, it will be different.

The gun thing is the least important part. I’m focusing on that because you put it first, and because many people who put guns at the front will often use that as an excuse to not vote for the better thing.

What we need, right now, is for the people of Canada to start voting for their interests. No more “strategic” voting and no more fighting against postive, evidence-backed change. The people you want exist and are out there yelling but we tell ourselves “they couldn’t win” and throw them aside. After a 36% turnout, Montréal elected an obviously corrupt landlord to be the mayor when Craig Sauvé was right there saying the things you say will fix things.

It’s not flashy, it’s not dramatic, but the reality is that Canadians don’t seem to want better for themselves. We have to vote to show others that we do, and that’s scary right now but what, do we want someone to hold our hands and call us special babies in order to do our one fucking job?

“Now”? This country has no clue how to exist in a multi-party system and it’s depressing as hell. We call it “strategic voting” to make ourselves feel better about the fact that we constantly vote against our interests.

A few elections back the NDP got more than half the votes of the Liberals but because our system sucks they got a sixth of the seats. People don’t look at the important numbers, only the seat count, so we all collectively decided to shoot ourselves in the foot so we could elect a conservative instead of a Conservative because our brains are mush.

Getting so fucking tired of Canadian apathy.

No but I’ll have to check it out.
