Modern Libertariansm is ridiculous. Libertarianism is far better aligned with socialism (where the people do the work and the benefit stays with the people) than it is with either communism (where the people do all the work and the benefit goes to the government/plutocrats) or capitalism (where the people do all the work and the benefit goes to the wealthy/oligarchs.) Modern Libertarians are extremist right wing capitalist stooges.

Every accusation is an admission.

Increasing minimum wage puts more money in the economy which people will spend which puts more money in businesses so they can pay their people more putting more money in the economy.

The only reason the wealthy don’t like this is because their money passes through the hands of the unclean masses instead of going directly into their offshore tax haven accounts.

Like my wife, every day for 17 years, “That tree is going to fall down.”

Tree falls down.

“I told you so.”

The biggest danger to US democracy is not Donald Trump or the Project 2025 christofascists, it’s the crushing ignorance of the US population. The gutting of the public education system means that many if not most Americans don’t understand that, “fascist” isn’t just a name like, “poopie head” that you call someone. It has a definition and clearly defined policies/behaviours that closely align with Trump/Vance/Johnston and their enablers. Communist and Marxist are very clearly defined things. Harris/Walz are pro business which means they are definitely NOT communists or Marxists.

If the US population were better educated and more knowledgable they would dump these Retrumplican clowns and rebuild the Republican party from scratch.

I mean…if they keep this up they will be right eventually…right?

Can’t you just imagine all those Libertarians sitting around in their nightly circle jerk talking about this? “I really showed those guys!” “You sure did!” <fap><fap<fap> “I sent them packing with the First Ammendment!” “You sure did!” <fap><fap><fap> “They were so embarasses!” “So embarassed!” <fap><fap><fap> “Then I decided to take the posts down on my own, not because they showed up!” “On your own!” <fap><fap><fap>

It sounds to me as though those two guys from the FBI delivered their message loud and clear. Doesn’t it sound like that to you, too?

Trump is a useful idiot. The real threat to democracy is the Heritage Society, Project 2025, and the christofascists using Trump to gain power. They telegraphed their intentions when they said that the democrats were only electing Biden and Harris so they could kill off Biden and install Harris. I guarantee that their plan is to get Trump elected, kill him and Vance, and install the christofascist speaker of the house president.

I’m honoured that they think I’m worthy of vote manipulation.

Anyone who has half a clue can see that Trump and Vance are fascist and that Harris and Walz are definitely not communists or Marxists.

I’ve got $1 that says that this was a supply chain attack. LiPo batteries tend to fart fire when they overheat, not explode, and not wth enough force to blow holes in people.

That’s called effective dismissal in Canada. It is going to cost them real money if it happens here.

Did you know that vegans are hated on par with drug addicts?

Oh take the back of your hand off your forehead. That’s just fucking ridiculous. You know you’re not purple, right? You don’t glow in the dark? How the fuck could anyone know that you were a vegan other than you telling literally everyone you speak to that you are? It’s like that fucking cross-fit and spin crowd. Literally no one would care if there weren’t extremists out there harassing restauranteurs and butchers to try to bully them into not serving meat. If vegan extremists didn’t lecture, harangue, and shame anyone who eats meat then no one would care. If you’re hated it’s because of your behaviour and how you treat people, not because you choose not to eat meat.

Perhaps. Did you know that people who consume a plant-based diet for their health or for the environment are hated much less than people who are vegan because of concerns about animal welfare?

No one cares what you eat or why. They only care how you act and how you treat other people. Have you tried being nicer to people?

I think that’s interesting. People feel judged by the mere existence of ethical vegans. And I think you are demonstrating how those feelings of being judged are expressed as defensiveness and “hatred” (though I know that language seems strong in this context).

It has nothing to do with ethical veganism and everything to do with harassing, intimidating, bullying, shaming, insulting, labeling, haranguing, etc. people to try to get your way.

It is how you act, not what you eat.

Sounds familiar.

Oh right…Project 2025.

I just translated it to non-shitheal.

It’s likewhen Trump says, “If I can be prosecuted for paying hush money to a porn star that I fucked while my wife was at home caring for my newborn son then lying about it and falsifying business records to cover it up to interfere in an election then it can happen to anyone who pays hush money to a porn star that they fucked while their wife was at home caring for their newborn son then lying about it and falsifying business records to cover it up to interfere in an election.”

I just can’t see myself ever being in that position.

The rep also said it is a “threat to hate speech when people can mass report a page and get someone banned–because they broke the rules. Today, the opponents of hate speech are targeting Candace, but anyone who spreads hate speech could be next.”

Sounds about right to me.

Does anyone here remeber when, “free speech” and “Conservative speech” didn’t mean hate speech, racism, lies, misinformation and Russian anti-American propaganda?

I think it’s an expression of ego. They are absolutely convinced of their moroal superiority and are frustrated by the fact that they haven’t been able to insult, harass, bully, shame, and threathen everyone into joining their quasi-religion so they’re going to prove to themselves that they are right by keeping a captive carnivore and forcing it to eat a vegan diet. They justify this by self-absolving. Self-absolution is one of the hallmarks of extremists. Anything they do, even when it goes against their own beliefs, is ok because they are morally pure.

It’s an. ML account. I know what it is but thanks for the warning.

“I like Trump because he says he will hurt the people I’ve never met but hate irrationally.”

Strong acid, strong base. Bake at 500C over night if it’s borosilicate to bake off all organics. It won’t get much cleaner than that.
