Interesting take, but in law Indigenous groups are effectively sovereign nations within Canada. They also have the authority to collect taxes within tribal lands.
"Tribes" are nations, governments and have full authority to collect taxes.
Is it? Dang can't fuck shit in the UK.
Interesting, makes me very confused on why we added nicotine to tobacco on top of what is in it already (my uncle worked on a tobacco farm as a young man and did spray the stuff). I guess they really wanted that nicotine....
Oh it looks that way on purpose, there are barely two parties and its used to control the people. When you see "everyone else" that is the trick, the other party that is not in power does nothing but gets to be seen the one that is "representing" that mass.
Maybe when the union is dead, but yeah they are speed running the collapse of an empire.
I am sure they think that it is the tobacco that is a insecticide and not the nicotine that was added to said tobacco....
The reason it is like that is that over many years the us system pushed the teamification of politics and enshrined only two parties in law. This was inevitable with only two parties, and should be a lesson to all other nations on the dangers of two party systems. The "us vs them" tricks of control are very easy when there is only two parties. It is poison to any democracy as no one is represented by ether "side" but everyone is sorted into a side and convinced the only way to fix anything is by having your side win (but of course there is no insensitive for ether party to actually fix anything, often the opposite).
The us has been trained (and sadly a lot of the world) that coalition rule is bad, even when its the only real way to have any sort of representation or guard rails in government. And you are right no one is represented now due to years and years of only two options that both know they are built into the systems of government so deep that their removal would require a new nation. After all this time there is no longer meaningful representation, but there is convenient scapegoats and excuses in pointing at the other side, so people in the us still think they live in a democratic system.
From a Canadian instance, really? This shit is so frustrating to see. The whole two party nonsense that this bullshit pushes is exactly why the usa is in the mess they are in now.
No, people don't have to "pick a side" the ones who think in terms of teams are our enemy.
I guess this is one more reason to never travel to the states, I worry Canada and Mexico will see more rabid animals though.
And now I think I will get a rabies booster (I hope that is still a thing).
Can we call it now? The usa is not a real nation that should be taken seriously.
I got this invite to enter to win!
FOOD!
We are at the point now that a gift card for food is really enticing.
Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.
I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.
And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:
"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"
or thinking this is a joke:
"That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it"
My old job had me going to a lot of places in very bad conditions and off road. I always drove an audi or a subaru and watched the lifted trucks spin out / go in the ditch / flip over / get stuck / and generally have a poor showing.
