As someone that never believed, the tailing point below was something I had to learn. People didn't believe I don't. You're just lapsed or arguing with a deity. Now many see atheism as an -ism or a belief but it is an a-. The a- is for not. Humanism is an -ism but, atheism is a just nope to theism.

"Evil must be opposed!" Vedek Yassim (DS9: S6E2 Rocks & Shoals) #GeneralStrike Doing actual nothing is a surprisingly powerful weapon. Do no work, pay no taxes or bills, the regime will fall. Deny the regime a target and resources at the same time. Channel your time & $$$ to community supports.

In the US a dude kneeling during the anthem at a football game to protest police brutality got more outrage and consequences than a political party embracing full on white supremacy and Gestapo tactics. Reason 2,613 to avoid Trumpistan and #BuyCanadian

There is a reason most "taxpayer" groups only use data from 1974 and forward. They don't want you to know that 50% to 96% top tax rates were normal for decades and the main engine of progress. Don't complain about the taxes, complain about wages being too low, union busting or lack of basic income.

And meanwhile the sound of crickets from western leaders over Israel's crimes against humanity in Gaza. Pretending that there isn't a genocide makes you complicit in the genocide. Here is my piece on how to join the grandmother's resistance to genocide. charlieangus.substack.com/p/grandmothe...

The biggest issues for 🇨🇦 are wealth inequality and climate change. Yet, O&G, mining companies and billionaires get everything they want from our federal and provincial governments while millions of Canadians remain trapped in legislated poverty.

Happy #SocialistSunday! Americans are welcome to join the boycott of America too. If you want to piss off Trump, #BuyCanadian. If you want to really fight fascism, use boycotts and a #GeneralStrike. Stay strong in the struggle. Solidarity & love, has defeated hate many times.

To alleviate any confusion for media... There is no such thing as "deporting" to 3rd countries. It is State sponsored human trafficking.

Watching the Democratic Party establishment back the most corrupt horse in the NY Mayor primary instead of supporting any of the capable progressives shows why Americans holding out for midterms or 2028 are fooling themselves. Americans need a general strike to change course not a corporate duopoly.

Netanyahu has suckered the United States into a dangerous war with Iran. It is all about distracting us from the death camp that is Gaza. Israel is committing mass crimes against humanity. The world has gone along for the ride and now we are seeing the dangerous results of unchecked criminality.

If Conservatives had tabled the exact same Bill C-2, Bill C-4 and Bill C-5 would the concerns of indigenous leaders, environmentalists, policy analysts, privacy experts, opposition and backbench MPs been heeded? Are Canadians truly comfortable with every future government having more police powers?

Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
Notice how Carney's C-5 legislation is celebrated by O&G and many conservatives but indigenous leaders, progressives, environmentalist and some Liberal MPs are raising the alarm? Basic Income has been recommended as policy since 1971 in Canada but governments are focused O&G/Mining company profits.

Fundamentalists will do anything to preserve their bubble against reality. That is why groups too extreme for the religious wars of 16th & 17th century Europe crossed an ocean to make an "evangelical" fiefdom in what is now the US. Understanding history helps understand the present.

Economic turmoil is not justification to trample on Treaty rights and obligations in Canada (or anywhere). Tell our MLA/MNA/MPP/MP/Senators that we are all Treaty Peoples. Many seem to need a reminder. Reconciliation means no returning to colonialism by government or economy. #G7 #cdnpoli

The cost to end hunger for the entire world is €50b (€42b in food production, €8b logistics) or $78.55b CAD. Global military spending was €2.8t for 2024, or $4.4t CAD. That means if just 1.8% of military spending were redirected, nobody would face starvation. Time for more #BreadNotBombs.

Sample motion language. Whereas Donald Trump and accomplice(s) have publicly confessed to election interference; and, Whereas the administration is in breach of domestic and international law. Therefore be it resolved that Kamala Harris be sworn in and recognized as President of the United States.

Whole thread on point and all the more reason for a general strike as a response. Provide no target and deny fuel for the regime at same time. A Friday the 13th, or Obama Day general strike would entertain the rest of the world.

We can have markets & property in a socialist system. It is just shifting focus to the value of a thing to society rather than as capital for private interest. Propaganda has made anything "socialist" seem terrible but police, roads, healthcare, even trade itself are all socialist at root.

Q for liberals... Are you happy with the speed that your party has become Red Tory? Exempting political parties from obeying privacy laws retroactively hidden in C-4. Inviting autocrats to G7. Support for private capital over public ownership. Saying Treaty rights aren't really rights. Any concerns?

GenX trivia & AI meet. How long is the conversation in the song Sylvia's Mother? AI was certain it was 3 minutes by reading the chorus lyric. It didn't factor the repeats or initial interval. For $1.20 9 mins are added to call after 1st operator interrupt making it 10+min. Context is everything.

An aspect of the disability tax often neglected is the impact on time. We operate in the time zones that our disabilities allow functionality. We don't get to chose the time. It is not the same time from day to day. It is not for the same length of time. It may take 2 days to recover from 2h.

Better "nation building" projects for Canada than resource exploitation. 1. Advancing Reconciliation 2. Universal Basic Income 3. National Disability Insurance 4. Public Inquiry on white supremacy in policing & government 5. Public Transit (planes, trains & automobiles) What are your top 5?
