Canadian Tire = a place where they sell used tires! Rotfl omg That's like saying Tim Hortons is a place to buy tiny ornamental hockey sticks.

IBM built the Nazis a database for tracking people in their "work camps", they sent technicians there to monitor and fix problems. IBM knew exactly what was happening: they helped make it more efficient. There was alot of collaboration before 1941, the business class always drools over fascism.

Good call. Sun Tzu. Martial artists I suppose too. Violence as a medium is a scary thought (makes me think of Jack Nicholson's joker). The origins of the Chinese characters for martial arts apparently signify stopping a spear, thereby preserving life, I can get behind that.

I am a big fan of art and I believe it helps to fight oppression in times like these by bringing focus to issues but... Art did not eviscerate Mussolini, guillotine Louis XVI or defeat Hitler.

And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.

I like that he is standing up to Trump but I think the entire system is engineered for rich people (of which I think Newsom is a representative).
If the system doesn't work for everyone then it is broken and must be fixed or replaced.

Why would he imprison his friends? Oh you believe the 2 party narrative! The system is broken if you don't see that you are blinded by Pollyanna level optimism.
