This. I’ve been trying to find concrete reasons to say yea China isn’t great but at this stage of history the US is worse. Yet friends and family of mine still don’t blink about going to the States…I won’t even take a flight if it lays over in the US.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Welcome to the fam. I used to hate them as I grew up halfway between Toronto and Montreal so Expos games were more common being STL fanatic but Joe Carter lives in my heart and I recall clearly the screams of a 12yr old when they won.

I don’t think you a non entity. Podcasters are a spectrum from information to entertainment to hate and propaganda. You can’t just write all off with a sweeping generalization. Kind of like the politician who refused to debate with a “podcaster” in the midst of the canonization of CK. The hypocrisy

Funny how the 2nd amendment folks are mute in this situation…the exact reason for the existence of it is being shown and yet…they’re just proving what people have argued that it’s not relevant if they don’t make use of it precisely when it has been designed to be

I’m in Canada and we are extremely lucky but still impacted by this. Too many of your people don’t get that the system is broken and this is the moment either to rise up or roll over

I get the impression that mumsy doesn’t care to admit or acknowledge her child being trans? So hence the pivot to “phones are evil” without reading and just glancing you’d assume this was a suicide…

Nationalist-arcissists?

For the owners of the means of production? Yup. Time for folks to brush up on their Marx and see what “evil” they’ve avoided by letting the corporate elite oligarchs run rampant and collude with a 🌮

That’s unfortunate but at least you’re in a position not to have to be around them. That poor kid of hers is likely doomed

Mofo ran his mouth once too often, should have “stuck to his lane” and kept being a horrible person. This is just another win for humanity if he goes away for a while

I think you might have missed the point of a WWII vet saluting another for being against totalitarianism.
