”Red Sun In The Sky” intensifies

If your country is high up on the global happiness index you cannot complain! Putin’s just mad Russia is (at best) mid!

It’s not even just Toronto, either. This is every major city in Canada, it sucks for us commuters 😞

Just found this on Twitter and feel it relates:

Me thinks Janine Brodie has only read the Communist Manifesto…

I don’t really have an excuse as to why it took me so long to read this thread, but I finally did and I wanted to thank you for tagging me. Your comment (and all your comments) is very useful for me as a student and future professor, especially that bit about being a Marxist in academia. If the paper is not about Marx directly I really do have to censor myself quite a bit by talking about Marxist ideas and views but not referencing Marxists themselves for fear of being penalized.

To me, this piece by Brodie comes across as Political Science 101. It’s incredibly status quo and doesn’t say much of anything outside of what is already well established. I’m not going to speculate what year OP is in, but this is not out of the realm of first year PoliSci. While I don’t recall ever reading anything by Brodie in any of my classes, I’ve read and been lectured to in the same language. She is also a Canadian academic so maybe thats also why I am sensing severe overlap.

This is just Mr. Beast with Squid Game

My dreams stay between me and myself, thank you very much. I don’t want some tech company knowing which fictional character I’m kissing lol

Such an unfortunate profile picture 😬

The fact that this meme is still so relevant is very telling.

The only “scandals” I can ever recall whenever the Olympics come up is doping, specifically of Russian athletes (although, nowadays I am incredibly skeptical if those allegations are even true), but this year there’s been so much outside of doping accusations its actually insane. I do wonder if it has to do with politics outside of the sport, because America and the collective west are steadily declining in favour and maybe thats why they’re being more aggressive in their accusations and animosity…

This Olympics has been one of the most insane that I’ve seen so far, but I also don’t watch the Olympics very much at all. Has there been this much bad sportsmanship in previous games because the amount of disrespect shown to non-western athletes is actually insane. I know doping scandals and allegations are common every year these games take place (although certain countries are definitely accused way more than others) but this time it seems even more targeted. I don’t know, I don’t follow sports so maybe I’m behind but it seems like this shit is getting more and more explicit as the years go by.

China was able to build 8000 miles of rails in ~5 years and yet my city has failed to finish the expansions to its already existing rails in 4. It hurts as someone who relies on public transit.

Wait, that guy (Eddie? MWM?) is backed by the FBI? How?

Yes I saw the same, liberals and “leftists” citing this statement as proof that the election was fraud and that we should also believe so because “our” party said so.

Also this doesn’t help disabled people at all. It’s anti-homeless, plain and simple, there’s no “social justice” spin they can make of this.

He’s too powerful

I guess almost every nation has to be purged then lol

I struggle reading novels but can blast through a 30,000 word fanfiction no problem, I don’t understand why lol

Me neither, there is a good argument to be made there.

I will add that they did not make the compass themselves, they only posted it. They got some criticism for this and didn’t really react well.
