Love that you couldn’t even control yourself long enough to read up to how this connects to racism and colonialism and decided instead to admit that you don’t care if you advocate for white supremacy to own the MAGAts.

It’s fine to call them stupid, dummy, it’s bad to assert that intelligence is naturalized and unfit members of society deserve to be purged from existence. News flash: that is anti-science (and science and anti-science are both political btw), dicknuts.

Yes. I give a shit about challenging racism, genocide, or any other forms of naturalized violence under colonialism and capitalism. Apathy is for liberals.

Really wish you guys would stop subscribing to eugenics as an own against fascists. I know you’re gonna say it isn’t, because you guys always do, but the obvious joke here is that they’re stupid and make stupid decisions because they are stupid and are purged from the collective genepool because they are stupid. Do you seriously not see the problem with reproducing the notion that political and cultural forces are in fact consistent with the natural world, or that people who are “stupid” are weak and unfit to be part of human evolution?

Yes, anti-science beliefs are not a sign of scientific (or emotional) literacy, and the people who refuse medical science on the basis of politics likely do not understand either topic very well. It is worth noting that the recent Ebola outbreak in the DRC was met with violence from locals who did not trust the medical institution (and this has happened before), which also results from a misunderstanding of what that institution is and how it works: https://www.npr.org/2026/05/29/g-s1-124359/ebola-outbreak-trust-death-burial-democratic-republic-congo. Their mistrust is also earned by centuries of EuroAmerican imperialism and decades of capitalization on the material and political insecurities in the DRC.

There is certainly good reason to attribute more responsibility to privileged white people in the US imperial metropole, but your joke makes the exact opposite point, which is that people who are too “stupid” to accept medical science are naturally inferior to those who do. Can you see the problem with taking that assertion for granted as a “joke?”

I don’t know how someone who grew up around people who drinked could have any other perception of alcohol than as poison. I don’t know a single person who drinks regularly who doesn’t have health conditions directly linked to it.

That’s kind of what I was wondering, I figured this as well as a way to track that it is at least sending data at unusual times. Someone else in this thread explained that actually determining what that data is would be difficult yeah: https://lemmy.world/post/48510943/24408747

I don’t know enough about system security or forensics to evaluate this, but it does make sense based on what I know.

would this not be detectable by tracking the data sent through your network?

“How they claim?” Is there no way to confirm that?

What an obnoxious fuckin dickhead. You’ve been talking about this shit and you’ve never so much as looked up what the results were and whether what you actually say is true?

I’m so fucking done with this moron, point proven.

You’re the one talking like you fuckin know shit. Show us.

Go learn the history behind our healthcare system. They don’t need to form a govt in order to be effective. Everyone else understands what FPTP is and how Liberals weaponize anxiety over it by presenting themselves as some alternative to the Cons when they’re functionally identical; especially in this case. You learned a single thing about this system and think that makes you smarter than everyone else. People make different decisions from you even with the same or more knowledge than you.

People like this are why neolibs have successfully gutted every social welfare system across this country.

Fuckin’ source?

I love how you made this comment within minutes of someone else giving you a single downvote. You are wrong because you misunderstand how power in this system works and how people who aren’t in positions of power must navigate the politics of this system to their benefit, not because people think that FPTP isn’t a real thing or a factor in elections here.

Two generational NDP ridings in my area flipped Con because of Liberal voters. So, I can’t say I particularly give a shit about how this would hypothetically empower the PC Party, since our local needs will definitely be ignored in the foreseeable future anyway, maybe forever if a Lib gets elected next. The fact is that a minority government, either PC or Liberal, would have far less power at its disposal to enact these common neoliberal policies. Instead, “Elbows Up,” we have a majority Liberal parliament that is aggressively slashing environmental protections, funnelling public wealth into private corporations for "sovereignty-"based mining and fossil fuel drilling, and implementing authoritarian internet surveillance policies; of course, all without consideration of indigenous peoples or First Nations. Wow, what a difference.

Don’t act like you’re considering the trans genocide rhetoric that PP was running on either, because it’s not like Carney has done anything to address the spread of anti-trans hatespeech or the restricted access to gender-affirming care achieved through privatization. Is it better because now it isn’t talked about at all besides by the victims?

Cool, well, maybe you should read about it in your adult life too.

Yes. Liberals aren’t your friends. They appropriated queer politics to do exactly this. People have been warning against this for decades.

They are not being tricked into doing this, this is the second time the Liberal party alone has tried this along with other proposals from Cons and other internet authoritarianism policies like lawful access. They know what it is for and they understand the consequences of who it’ll effect. It just so happens queer people (racialized people, indigenous people, disabled people, etc.) are also disproportionately politically active and challenging to liberal capitalism, and liberals have had an exceedingly difficult time shutting that down online through censorship alone.

It is not only distortive but also dangerous to accept that this is out of stupidity and ignorance. They are attacking us. “Elbows up,” awards for the people who voted for Carney because they didn’t think a minority govt with a stronger NDP presence was possible.

You made a spelling error, I better see an “Edited” icon soon.

Oh, well that’s very convenient. I wonder who would promote an understanding of liberalism wherein it is inherently anything that doesn’t restrict people’s autonomy. These must be countries with very low rates of systemic violence both today and historically.

I can’t express in words how incomprehensible it is to me that you’d suggest I edit my comments for accessibility on something like Lemmy. I don’t care if people who would already get mad or offended by this have an easier time reading it, and people who are curious can ask questions if they please.

Don’t elevate this place to a level that demands unpaid labour. It gives more legitimacy to the libs and chuds that dominate it.

I literally just referenced that. When I say, that Europeans and Americans have been afforded, “a significant amount of informal influence on colonized spaces,” I’m talking about how they weaponize their domination of the internet to promote their shared interest with the corporations they are partnered with. Yes, they have been applying similar tactics for over a century, but you seem to be more concerned about how it effects them than their targets.

I didn’t call it “external entities” or “psychological warfare,” against these imperialists because, quite frankly, I don’t care about how empires attack each other as much as I do how they attack colonized peoples. With this in mind, when I’m talking about the systemic causes of these issues, I am directly referring to EuroAmerican settler-colonialism, capitalism, and imperialism. Their attempt to control access to the internet within the metropole is in fact their way of interrupting communication between the imperial peripheries (colonized spaces and peoples) and that population in the metropole; their concern over “foreign actors” is more about their people developing empathy for the victims of their way of life than it is what you seem to think; which I am guessing is something along the lines of “Russian bots?” You think it’s a coincidence this crackdown comes within years of popular resistance against EuroAmerican facilitation of Palestinian genocide?

If two paragraphs is too much for you, I don’t care if you read it.
