Poe Dameron is my hero… while everyone else was debating how the bad thing happened, he’s the guy that’s just figuring out how to fight against it.

Peeople just didn’t appreciate the genius of JJ Abrams… pretty much every reason why people fall to fascism are in the two Star Wars movies he made. Palpatine obviously represents fascism, yet people whine about Palpatine returning not being explained.

More and more Elon Musk reminds me of Peacemaker’s shitty father. For more than one reason.

You need to start understanding that the US is not the defender of democracy anymore. When people talk of protecting democracy, no one is thinking of getting from the US because you’re the ones we’re trying to defend against. With each passing day your country is becoming the enemy of democracy.

I know this may be difficult to accept, but the US may become the great villains of the 21st century just as the Nazis were the villains of the 20th. We all hope that that won’t happen, but we see the signs and we have to be prepared to defend democracy from US aggression.

The whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret!

I doubt it, but that could change.

Looks good on a spreadsheet tho. Lots and lots of ships.

But you’re right, their ships are crap. Quantity over quality.

UK and France both have nukes. They just need to let Canada borrow a few for a while if Trump starts mobilizing the US military for a special operation.

This is also kinda interesting… https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2025/01/28/canada-poland-nuclear-energy-cooperation-agreement

It would normally be a nothing burger… except for the timing of it. Poland and Canada both getting threatened by nuclear powers, and when Canada’s PM is on his way out and there’s a whole bunch of other shit going on he randomly finds the time to go over to Poland to make agreements on both defense and nuclear energy. Maybe nothing, but it’s a bit odd, isn’t it?

uncovered a total of four cases where veterans were allegedly offered MAID — all apparently by the same caseworker.

You’re judging an entire country for the actions of one person, when the people in that country had the same reaction as you, and investigated it and dealt with it?

The other story you’re citing is from a conservative US owned newspaper. And what’s wrong with celebrating pride? Also education is under the jurisdiction of the Provincial governments which are democratically elected. So you can see the bias there where the actions of democratically elected government are characterized as being somehow nefarious… for doing their jobs. Also note the part where “sources” say Muslims are taking their children out of school. Just Americans trying stir up shit and create division in Canada for profit. That’s Postmedia for you.

Well we do have the same King as the UK does. That counts for something doesn’t it?

We didn’t know we had that option. But hell yeah… what do we have to do? Make Google and Apple put a “West Europe” label over Canada?

Wait… UK, doesn’t have a president… I think this guy isn’t legit!

Interesting that only one item on your list would start a war. Guess you didn’t see enough photos of dead children last year.

I doubt Donald Trump read the EO either. And those companies know this, and they know he’s a small and petty man.

This whole thing doesn’t matter much, it just makes the US looks stupid. It’s not the job of these companies to oppose the guy Americans voted for even when he’s making the country look stupid. It was the duty of American citizens to vote wisely to prevent guys like Trump from having power, but that didn’t happen, so here we are.

Then a a month later VGA 2.1B. After that VGA 3.0 Fullspeed and 3.0 Highspeed, to make things “less confusing.”

There was a time when you could chat with people on facebook and google with XMPP. I think when they dropped it the communities using it got disrupted and probably never recovered.

As someone living in the west I prefer propaganda that isn’t trying to bring down the place where I live.

The reason why the humans controlling things suck at it is because they’ve cowed down people to not demand better. Accepting shitty AI instead of humans is just being cowed down even lower.

It’ll certainly make for some contentious AI.

Which of these isn’t real?

• Most of Founding Fathers owned slaves
• Elon Musk treats workers like shit
• The Founding Fathers wrote pretty words about rights and freedoms
• Elon Musk writes words about right and freedoms.
• Founding Fathers were wealthy because of the work done by slaves
• Elon Musk is wealthy because of work done by oppressed people under apartheid

You keep saying I’m divorced from reality, but which of these things do you think isn’t real?

So you don’t believe that George Washington owned slaves? Talk about making up a reality in your head.

You were indoctrinated from a young age to believe in the myth of the Founding Fathers. Everything you heard in school, all the the monuments, the faces printed on your currency all reinforce your beliefs. So I understand that it’s not easy to accept that these guys were the Elon Musks and Donald Trumps of their times. But it’s not some dead slave masters that guarantee your rights. This mentality results in apathy and taking rights for granted which made the US susceptible to fascism. Mythologizing a false past leads to people wanting to go back to that false past.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say MAGA is about wanting to go back to full on slavery, but there is a feeling there that people of certain ethnicities should “know their place”. And people certainly “knew their place” when the Founding Fathers were running things didn’t they?
