Karl Marx describing the effects of the poverty they are forcing on you now, nearly 200 years ago. They force you to 'save' so you are isolated.

As someone who's worked on this province's financial literacy education materials, I've got to clear up a misconception here. Financial literacy means knowing how credit cards, loans, interest rates, and similar things work. It's very important, but it's never been an antidote to poverty.

In the past 24 hours: - a BC brewery had to fire an exec and temporarily close after the exec wore a residential school denier tee - a Charlotteown bar has been blacklisted by the entire local music scene after denying bathroom access to a transgender musician So much for "go woke go broke"

At the risk of sounding like someone's grouchy white grandfather, there's likely also some self-destructive impact of always getting what you want, when you want it.

That's the truth of it. Israel is just a colony of the USA. Or, a forward military operating base with a lot of human shields. Depends on how charitable you're feeling with your description.

Oh yes. This is certainly true. The best is if we're in any way upset about being abandoned by fellow leftists we're seen as NOT NORMAL or overly emotional

Post by Julia Marie (@julia_doubleday) on X The only way the words "long covid" comes out of most leftists (particularly the prominent ones w large platforms) mouths is to mock it, imply it's fake, punch down in ppl who have it, bitch that we asked for accessibility, bitch that we brought up masks like my god

America is a very strange place. If you call someone a communist it Europe, literally no one cares. If you call someone a communist in the US it is the worst insult ever. Europe lived next to communism for 80 years, the US has no idea what communism is. It's just a boogeyman

New take on AI. Human beings, are biologically, very intelligent. Our brains are amazing things that can process information, imagine new ideas, and solve problems. But capitalism thrives on inequality, so it does whatever it can to prevent the proletariat from realizing their mental potential.

I don't know what this "lesbian bar article" is, but read the meme. Then read it again. We are, all of us, susceptible to propaganda. You, me, our friends, our families, the richest, the poorest, ALL OF US. Learn humility, and be willing to question your own beliefs.

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

The funny part of this is that the first episode of Agents of Shield included a comment about how social media is a surveillance tool, and 13 years later, people are still obsessed with posting all their photos online.

Mark Carnage doesn't care about people. The only thing he places value on is capital. Yes, he's making smart choices by diversifying our trade with overseas partners. However, this isn't for our benefit, it's for the benefit of Canada's 1%.

Here's a quick thought about this "embrace the future" mantra. The future isn't written. It's like Doc Brown said in BttF3, "Your future is whatever you make it." Anyone telling you to "embrace the future" wants you to surrender your power to create your future, and sign up for theirs.

Greenland has been forced into submission, now the USA has complete control over it, meaning it can send as many troops as it wants and setup as many bases as it likes. Donald Trump won't stop, Fascists never do, giving in to them only encourages them, this is a terrible decision.
