How I defeated Fascism With the Power of Love
by Luigi
Chapter 1: The Power of Love
The first step in my journey was realizing that it is impossible to defeat fascism with the power of love.
Chapter 2: The Power of Incredible Violence

Violence is absolutely an appropriate response to violence, and fascism is an ideology of violence. Therefore, it’s always morally correct to punch fascists.

I made a tree.

Also our downtown has a lot of one-way streets and when I’m driving I always have to remind myself that I can’t go that way because only the bike lane is two-way lol.

Personally there are a lot of places in my city that I definitely know the best way to bike there, but aren’t sure of the best way to drive there. Like I could get there in my car, because I have a pretty good understanding of where stuff is, but it wouldn’t be the “best” route.

I’ve lived downtown Edmonton and it’s absolutely not an “amazing downtown culture”

I want to live in a city that acknowledges that people live downtown (a lot of people actually) and that it’s not just somewhere that suburbanites drive to for work or entertainment.

The folks that hate bike lanes see bikes as recreation, not transportation. So they don’t especially care if someone can get somewhere useful on their bike.

I get put on a watchlist for trying to build a death ray and any insecure asshole can just walk into a dealership and buy a weapon of mass destruction. Mad scientists need better lobbyists.

I have a t-handle torque wrench that’s so good for bike stuff. Lots of parts I’m comfortable tightening by feel but I’m not interesting in crushing carbon parts.

From what I could tell - nothing? There were city vehicles parked in the bike lane when I went through earlier.

I agree, but also labels are something to be applied to yourself, not others. A friend of mine goes by he/they and says he’s cis - so he’s cis.

I tried it for depression but unfortunately it didn’t really help me. A friend of mine had a lot of success with it though.

Slightly less ability to carry things (only a little, and there are workarounds), and the ride is a little bit rougher with the small wheels.

Ok this is hilarious because I’d never call a hoodie a bunnyhug but I’m very familiar with the term, and what do you know but I’m from AB and my parents were from SK.

Bizarre. Granted I almost never drive so it’s been ages but I could have sworn it was 40. Maybe that was just for construction or something. Even 40 is too fast for 17 ave.

It feels like we won the fight (or at least did well) against drunk driving, only to completely fail when it comes to distracted driving.

I had to avoid saying bonjour to folks because there was a decent chance they’d respond in French and I’d end up staring blankly at them lol.

Also I won’t pretend there’s anything authentic about this since my family is Ukrainian and I believe it’s Venezuelan, but many many years ago I used to buy it at a farmers market and then I couldn’t get it any more and had to improvise haha
