True...

  • For a man in a an incredibly stylish yellow suit you are suprisingly obtuse. Admit that the original poster doesn't understand French and his "word play" is stupid or I will throw coffee on your jacket and you will never get the stain out.

  • What kind of attribution do I need? I'm only talking about the ones who fit the description. Seems to me like trump voters fit that description but hey, if I'm wrong no biggy. After all I am only talking about the ones that do. Can't you just infer that?

  • I'm fucking sick of talking about race as if it means anything at all compared to class. We need a two step program

    1. Tax the fucking billionaires out of existence
    2. Stop destroying the biosphere

    Want to make that program palatable? We use the billionaire taxes to make life suck less for everyone in a clear, food-on-the-God-damn-table-and-children- in-decent-schools Kind of way.

    Racism is real and deadly, but what are we gonna do? Bully the racists into being less racist? Send them off to camps for re-education? Let's just focus on giving everyone enough money that they don't have to rely on some racist boss to give them a job, or a racist landlord to give them (allow then to pay for) a home.

  • True...

  • I mean, a it‘s not a play on words because the saying "la melange est la saveur/epice/piquant de la vie" just makes no sense. It's not that I want things to be literal, it's just that this particular "play on words" doesn't even exist.

  • I recently tried to explain to Lemmy that non-white working class voters see their social program as weird and off putting. I was downvoted to oblivion just for honestly relating an opinion from people these chronically online "allies" would never hear from, because they simply don't associate with seamstresses/fruit packers/construction site crossing guards etc. Not to mention the majority of these folks can't speak any language but English.

    Tell my Chilean wife how she is going to make more money tomorrow than she did today and she will listen. Tell her she is a bigot because she believes that it takes more than "feeling like" a women to actually "be" a woman and she will stop listening. That is what just happened here.

    I am from a different cultural context than her and I tend to believe what the people who study these issues have to say ie: gender affirming care saves lives. But to say that this one issue determines a persons entry or exclusion from our ever shrinking tent is political suicide, no matter how much we might wish that wasn't the case.

  • I live near a primary school and there are multiple "YES ALL MEN" slogans written on the walls right next door. I wonder what those boys will think about their place in the world when this is what the walls are yelling at them.

  • I mean, Quebec doesn't evenn really want to leave. Legault has found a winning strategy that will keep his party in power for decades: Never hold a referendum, but leverage that notwithstanding clause and general nationalist animus to take and horde as much power in this province as possible forever. That way everything that goes wrong is because of the feds, and everything that goes right is because of the glorious CAQ.

    We should have elections with no candidates.

    All us WEIRD (western educated industrialized rich democratic) countries seem to spend a really embarrassing amount of time talking about the pointless minutiae surrounding our candidates for office and their personal lives.

    We are also prone to backing very crap candidates based on personality, rhetoric, appearance ie: things that have nothing to do with being a good executive or legislator.

    I think we should ban names from the election process and just have each party submit their ideas in writing and let people vote based on those submissions.
