Pocket parks, I think there were 200+. So good if you fancy a longer trail.

Otherwise promised but never built transport projects... but that might be a bit too much.

The UK still hasn't recovered from the last time the US system blew up.
I'm not that reassured by it looking like they might be on the verge of a bigger blow up😉

I get it, you think North Korea is a better place to live than South Korea.
Probably not for yourself, but definitely for other people.

Actually China was better in 1990 is objectively incredibly stupid and immoral. It makes you a genuinely bad person.

I really feel at this point they should look at giving it to Arden or Trudeau till the end of the Parliament.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 17h

Ah, a North Korea is good actually take.
Shows where you people are morally.

It does seem like a very tricky line to draw, after the decision was that the spycops' cases weren't criminal, for example.

It is certainly a choice when antisemitism is still at (recently) historically high levels, the main form of prejudice, and just after a major antisemitic attack.

See, you are changing your claim - I'll take that as an apology for your lie. Since I'd guess you are incapable of admitting you lied.

Tell that to East Germany, as an example.
They're painfully aware of communism vs capitalism. Rather than wierd fantasies.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 18h

No it is - that is pathetic behaviour and you should be better than resorting to lies.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 18h

Actually untrue though.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 18h

No I am not. Stop telling lies.

Capitalism is very badly flawed. The main advantage of it is that it offers more than just brutality and mass murder.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 18h

I know a great deal, just about the real ones though, not your imagined ones which Im sure are great.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 18h

No, I'm not.
Don't lie.

As Orwell summed up, in communism you are either a Napoleon, Squealer, Snowball or Boxer.

Probably goes over your head given how badly mangled what ever argument you are trying to make is though.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 18h

Every time a country has tried communism it has included mass murder and brutality.
At some point it gets hard to pretend it isn't communism that is the problem.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 19h

Just pointing out that you seem to have a selective dislike of mass murder.
Seems relevant to your argument.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 20h

You've got 'communist' in your bio, so you are clearly pretty relaxed about mass murder anyway, given the history of communist. Which makes this all a bit hypocritical 🙂

If so that is still bad manners, even if deserved.
I was just going on the posted screenshot though.

Or, TBF, Grey and his mother think Zach is the President?

I'm not sure that is better for them - neither option seems great for them.

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 1d

I think it means she thinks it is more important that the government allows free speech than her son has basic manners?

No idea why she thinks it is an either/ or situation though, guess she doesn't understand either?

john @snoopster.bsky.social · 2d

Disqualified.
