Good 👍
FU** the CBC!
Well they are underfu**ed right now
I’m good with that. We need some media to not be owned by the Billies.
I’m not sure if government funded news from a government owned by corporations is a great idea.
Better than getting it directly from the corporations. We have more leverage over government. And we can vote in a different government, especially if we keep up the pressure for electoral reform.
Do the conservatives hate it? Yes? Then it’s a good thing.
The liberals and conservatives in Canada might as well be the same party at this point for me. I hate them both so much.
They’re different
Liberals are the old Conservatives
Conservatives are the old Reform Party
You’re right. They are different. The conservatives will 100% cow to Trumps regime. And that is a big important difference. But the liberals have been fucking us just as hard as Harper did, so you can see why I might be less than stoked about supporting that party.
I understand fully, I think more people should realize what I mentioned though and our two historical parties are really the NDP/Liberals now
Overton windows a bitch ain’t it?
That is exactly like saying Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are the same. See how that worked out?
I mean that’s a good way to look at it since they both serve capital first and foremost, but it’s also excessively reductive. Liberals run on giving the workers breadcrumbs to gain their support while conservatives run on taking away those breadcrumbs, so while liberals and conservatives tend to agree on the bad stuff and disagree on the good stuff. Of course they might agree on something good every blue moon, but it’s almost impossible for liberals to want a bad thing and conservatives to oppose it if you consider how those two groups fundamentally function.
TL;DR: If liberals want it and conservatives don’t, it’s almost guaranteed to be at least marginally good for you (CBC is here). If they agree on something it’s either political suicide to oppose it (publicized healthcare is here) or bad for you (tax breaks for the rich are here); you’ll have to exercise your judgement there.
Yeah, I understand this. And you explained it exactly how I already perceive it. It’s just exhausting and I’m tired of pretending the liberals aren’t also the enemy, to maybe skew some votes every four years for the lesser evil. It’s stupid. It’s bullshit. I’m done doing it. And I don’t really care if that makes people angry. Because that’s also stupid as fuck.
Oh then you’re completely right; liberals are also the enemy—arguably the worse of the two—and the Left should be a lot more unapologetical about that fact.
Whoever downvoted you is a huge fucking wiener.
Eh, you get used to it.
If in today’s day and age you’re not sure about this, after escaping Reddit I assume, you’ve got some considering to do. 🥹
