I don’t think any of Canada’s allies are global manufacturing hubs on the cutting edge of green technology. Diversification is always a good thing, but especially with US ties a thing of the past there’s no getting around China.

The best anti-Zionist propaganda is the IDF’s actions.

It’s more like conservatism isn’t a coherent ideology; it’s just nostalgia for the good old days fueling reactionary support for entrenched power structures. In places where rhese entrenched power structures are liberal conservatism is liberal; in places where they’re not it’s not.

Infinite sunspot theorem moment.

Your favorite slice of life anime, since this is a genre an anime newbie is unlikely to be used to. I’d personally nominate City: The Animation, but I understand Nichijou would also be a popular recommendation.

I consider anyone who supports these things to be an evil asshole who shouldn’t be allowed within ten miles of authority. That does include most LPC MPs and especially Carney, yes. Why do you ask?

I mean, the CPC in general for scapegoating immigrants, supporting Israel, ignoring climate change and anti-worker pro-rich policies? It’s basic conservative stuff, and it pretty much universally makes the non-1% world a worse place to live.

Even if we disagree with the stance of the opposition, we should want them to be at minimum, logical, representative of the principles of the people who cast votes for them, and an effective check on the government.

Being competent is only good when one is not evil (which rightwing politicians are almost by definition). Also there’s no relation between being competent and representing the people who voted for them, and only acting as a check on the government when it tries to do something good is worse than not doing so at all. An effective opposition not acting in the interest of the people just becomes a ratchet holding back progress.

Damn it.

Considering Russia’s continued stance on LGBTQ, and to a lesser extent China’s (though I believe this is improving), I’ll take the US’s evil empire hegemonic influence over the latter in that matter.

America killed nearly five million people and displaced forty million in the War on Terror alone but I guess that’s better than the evil homophobic Chinese. Relevant.

ignoring the actions of the other imperialist nations, is a weak take.

I’m not ignoring them; they just (despite also being evil as fuck) don’t come close to the sheer magnitude of atrocities inflicted by the US in recent history.

AfD are the Nazis; CDU are the Center Party. Historically we know how this goes. You even have the SPD royally fucking up again if anyone wants more of a hint.

Dude’s literally just called “Hungarian.” John English-ass name.

Uh… Okay? I could argue with a lot of what you just said, but on a more fundamental level, so what? We don’t judge Nazi Germany based on how nice it was to ethnic Germans, nor the British Empire based on how nice it was to British citizens; we judge them for their treatment of Jews and Indians. In a similar vein, I honestly don’t give a shit how nice America is within its own borders when, during the period of “morality and higher goals” you’re talking about, it perpetuated atrocities and mass murder from Argentina to Indonesia and from South Africa to Iraq. All the improvements you listed only apply in America itself, not to the hundreds of millions subjugated by the wider American Empire; if you include the latter Russia can’t even begin to compare to the scale of evil America has been perpetuating for generations. You might not notice this, but your argument boils down to “the evil empire was nice to me for a bit which made it good.”

TL;DR: The people being brutally murdered don’t care about their murderers’ morality and aspirations.

The US is the one who bankrolled, enabled and protected a literal genocide, which is worse than everything you just said.

For various—mostly unfortunate reasons—my foremost question here is why would a non-South/Central Asian, non-Muslim woman wear the burqa?

Edit: Seems the answer is modesty.

America, but Vietnam (and Laos, and Cambodia) is still feeling the destructive impacts to this day.

Stop, don’t vs don’t stop moment.

This is one of the reasons why Donald’s idea of ​​turning around, saying he won, and walking away couldn’t work.

I mean it would—if he actually stopped bombing them and helping Israel bomb them. Unilateral de-escalation only works if you actually de-escalate.

Imagine telling someone even like a year or two ago that in this war Iran would be the “good guys”.

They always have been in conflicts with America/Israel. As it turns out, what America and Israel want for Iran is somehow even worse than the Islamic Republic.

I mean, this was a rebel fighter. You’d kinda expect those guys to hate Gaddafi.
