Candace Owens said Kamala Harris can safely go back to being an Indian again. 😂 Candace Owens also believes we faked the moon landing, I wouldn't put too much stock in her opinions.

I think Candace Owens is a very intelligent and strong woman.

Oh dear. I'm beginning to believe these people don't know what fascism is.

As much as the right doesn't know what Communism is. Both are wrong.

Fascism // communism isn't something I think we can effectively discuss here. We're far too surface level on that topic and both are ideologies that require a lot more than a paragraph to disseminate properly.
I don't think it's off base to point out though that certain strategies have been loaned in and tweaked for an American palette.
It's also much easier to implement fascism into American society than it ever would be for socialism.

How was the fascism when Trump was in power last time?
I remember one particular poster here claiming Trump was building concentration camps and rounding up minorities.
Regardless, for people like AOC her life doesn't change. She is of privilege and lives a safe and comfortable life. To suggest otherwise, or there is some fear of some manufactured idea of fascism has as much credibility as those celebrities crying in their sprawling estates during lockdown - get fucked, you're out of touch AOC.
Rhetoric from you, me or anyone doesn't matter - The United States will never.. eeeever, experience true fascism or communism.

Us Queens NY people apologize for AOC. She is a nutcase and she does little to anything to help New Yorkers in her district. She always rolls her some Spanglish come voting time to win the Hispanic vote over but I don't get what voters see in her outside of attraction and passion(albeit in a foolish manner).
She cares more about her popularity then she does issues that haunt New Yorkers like Subway violence/unease or gun violence in her district.
She is the Jennifer Lopez of politics to New Yorkers. Yes she is from here but she doesn't really do anything for the communities and cares more about her nationwide appeal over the jobs she continues to keep.

All these celebrities and politicians talking like Bane just cut off Gotham.
Maybe, that's what they're afraid of. The storm coming for the privileged.

All these celebrities and politicians talking like Bane just cut off Gotham. Maybe, that's what they're afraid of. The storm coming for the privileged. If the storm was coming for the privileged then wouldn’t Trump and Bezos and Musk and and and all be worried too? Almost like one side is targeting the other for revenge while the other never had any intention of doing something like that. Weird. … Also while I have you, I know it was discussed yesterday but wanted to just add to yours and iron maiden’s conversation. You said “the left” won’t give us the things we want. You’re right. But the party ironmaiden was referring to is not a left wing party. Those parties in Canada never come anywhere close to being in power. Up here we have right-wing and centrist. Justin Trudeau says a lot of progressive shit but he delivers on less than half of it. We have the NDP and the Greens here that are much further left at a federal level, but they never come close to being in power. The best they can hope for is holding the balance of power in Parliament alongside the centrist Liberal party. And before you look and say “well the NDP runs 3 provinces,” those don’t count. At a provincial level that party is more centre-right than anything. Just wanted to throw in my two cents. It’s much different up here than people realize.

The only rich people who have anything to worry about are those who stood against that vengeful little bitch Trump, anyone who kowtows to his ego is good. That’s what he ultimately cares about, loyalty to himself, that’s all he has, that’s all he wants. Wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to do that thing he convinced all the gullible rubes the democrats were doing and try to persecute his political rivals because he was almost held accountable for .00001% of his corruption. He’s a shit human being, have to just hope he doesn’t go full out like his idol Putin.

Thank you for your thoughtful response iNCY . I admit to be torn on this subject. On one hand I know that some groups have been held back and do not have a fair advantage over others still to this day and it’s almost impossible to ‘catch up’ or gain equality/equity after that happens and so many systems and unconscious biases are put in place to keep these groups down. On the other hand, if let’s say we’re discussing the drug, theft and homelessness issue here for example, I often feel like taxpaying, hardworking middle class or lower-class Canadians/Edmontonian’s rights to safety and security in our own communities and homes is being thrown over in favour of the unhoused, addicts, etc., which can feel very frustrating. You are right. Basically, we just shifted our pollution to China and India and other developing countries that now we are expecting them to just jump over the technologies we’ve used hundreds of years ago. We’ve gone into these countries, drained them of their resources and left them worse than when we got there. In 2015, Countries agreed to the Green Climate Fund in order to help these countries transition to a tune of 100 billion a year by 2020 but have fallen short by 90 billion. DO you think we as the richer nations and plunderers have a responsibility to contribute to the solution? I highly suggest you and other watch this 23 minute video from 2021 about this exact thing. It was very eye opening to me. This is where DEI falls over, it is a culture of shame, it seems that everyone emerges from University with the same mind-set. Ashamed to be white Ashamed to be male. Modern academics look at everything through a lens of power, if you have the power you are immediately wrong. As horrific as it is, every race has a history of slavery, every culture in the world, still awful, but no need for shame. I am not sure why left wing politics has become this humiliation ritual of who can bow the lowest. In closing - Equality = Good, Equity = bad. Engineer the inputs to be equal and not the outputs. I don't think there's anything wrong with acknowledging the sins of the past and wanting to do better. Where I struggle is how do we atone for it. For instance, in Canada we seem to toss money at our Indigenous peoples for treating them like dogs for centuries, but is that the best course of action? What good is money without other programs and supports to help with things like inter generational trauma and addictions issues stemming from those traumas. Not sure about Australia, but I feel in Canada (at least Edmonton), we/systems are failing in so many ways spectacularly. We are failing our children, our youth, our poor and seniors. And we've got to look into why that is and what the answers are because I don't see it getting better under our current leadership which is Far Right anymore than I see it getting better under a Far Left party. I just feel that more centrist to left ideologies fit into that better than right wing ideologies - at least here. "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats it's most vulnerable members." -Mahatma Ghandi

Trump released new video with ten things he is going to do to the Deep State when he gets in office. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTFTxNEn2/Agree/disagree? If this isn't fake as alluded by sting above, you might be surprised to hear I don't disagree with him on all points. I believe a lot of systems in Canada (and likely the US) need to be overhauled and corruption ousted, but my issue is who and how do they decide who that is nd what it looks like? Is it just anyone who is against his policies? That sounds like a slippery Minority Report slope. And who gets put in their place? People loyal to him? Then that's another slippery slope. I also agree with governments having independent auditing systems, but for finances, not whether or not they are spying or not. I care more about where my tax payer money is going than I do if my phone or Alexa is spying on me (which they are). I don't think 'Truth and Reconciliation' means what he thinks it means...ours focuses on injustices carried out over our years as a country (usually against minority groups) and looks to find a way to educate, support and do better. Some of this sounds like some 1984 shit. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out. EDIT: This video appears to be from Mar 2023.

I wasn't even replying to you - it was in regards to this ridiculous concept from The Left that Trump apparently is likely imposing some sort of fascist regime and this is the end of all democracy in The United States.
But sure, you're more than welcome to break it down.

So Ness deleted his PW account because Trump won. The fact I’m the only one to notice he’s gone shows that I was his only real acquaintance on here. I actually liked him too. C KITN Ness TDS fatalities. Sorry. The mods discussed this in the Mod Room yesterday. We didn't make an announcement, because well, we just didn't. I figure he'll be back in time. Maybe he felt he needed a self imposed social media break. Frankly, I don't blame him. Call me weak if you want, but some of this real life shit has played havoc with my mental health lately. However, I think to 'assume' it's because Trump won without truly knowing what all he might be going through is a little shitty. Maybe like so many he's just feeling a bit disillusioned or has other shit going on. Remember: Be kind. You never know what someone might be going through. Always like Ness, keeps me company in the NXT posts where I don't feel like a major pervert all the time! :lol: My guy with the gaming takes too. Everyone deserves a break from social media/internet interaction, I deleted my account once here in frustration too. It happens. Wish him well regardless.

Any reason why Arizona and Nevada are taking so long to count? Kind of circumspect no? Can't say anything they found a whole ballot box after the Provincial Election in BC was called and though it probably won't change anything, since it was a tight race the whole thing has to be recounted again.
