No, I don't think I will. ;)
Agreed in principle, but it was capital P as a noun, not lowercase p as in adjective. ;)
Just a part of my fear.
Pull together or fall apart.
Imagine being anyone anywhere whipped like an Amazon worker. Will the waitress have to piss in bottles? Bad for tips I think.
A reality distortion field that seperates a person from the real world? What could go wrong?
It's about as dystopian as it gets.
Just like the Dems in the US are infected with a captured opposition faction who run the DNC at its roots, the Canadian Cons are infected with WildRose/Reform which are just labels for Koch funded MAGA.
The Cons had their civil war, and the PCs of old lost. I think, despite this election being a rejection of that bullshit, the Cons will double down and double down again because its not grass roots based. It and Western Seperatism is just Koch funded propaganda because Koch is the guy who makes the money on the price differential between WTI and WCS. They will do anything to maintain the billions in free money they get. They fund MAGA the same way.
We need to see them have a civil war and reject the reform maga factions and bring back the Progressive Conservatives.
How does Lemmy differ? Are we architectually bot/AI resistant?
I really like Singh. He is a GOOD man. A GOOD leader. I want to be at a party with him in the room. But I agree, he wasn't the factor in his fate. The centre left sacrificed the NDP for the libs because of the US. Strategic voting worked. If they hadn't this would have been a conservative win. It's acceptable because the alternative is disastrous.
Singh's cuddlyness was probably trying to follow Le Bon Jacque's lead. Fluffy warm and cuddly via Layton got the NDP some big successes and bigger hopes until tragedy struck.
I'm more worried about the next election. A minority in a time of great struggle won't go full term. I give this around 3 years. The libs can't win the next, no one goes 5 terms in a row.
Lets assume the Cons take the next, and the NDP get a bounceback from extreme liberal fatigue. Does the NDP need Hope or Anger? I'm not sure, but we saw a lot of rural areas be two way con/ndp. These areas would probably respond to channeled anger. Flip a few blue to Orange.
Over 40% wanted some aspect of the vote. Local Candidate, party or leader or other aspects. His own riding didn't want him. Lol! :D
Others still just didn't like the other parties as options. Extreme fringe elements like the various flavours of white supremacists just clung to something that would embrace them under the big tent.
