Infuriating!
Interim NDP party leader @donvdavies.bsky.social is repeating current US Democrat sentiment that trans people cost the party votes. Newsflash, asshole, trans people are fucking workers and, you know, people. Guess which demographic is among the least likely to afford groceries?
🧵 I was really more hopeful when Carney was elected. I thought, since he promised to fight for Canada and had a good track record on the climate crisis, and promised not to cut social programs, we might be OK. I voted NDP, but I had some hope. I no longer have hope for this government.
There's no bottom to the depths of @mark-carney.bsky.social bootlicking
It's a skill at this point. Getting out of bed thinking how much worse he can be today.
Trump and the Heritage Front conduct a fascist self coup, so Carney invites the Heritage Front to speak to cabinet. Do we get it yet?
Akshullyyyy
Taking notes from a prominent and aggressively active fascist is one hellava choice. A deliberate choice.
Scott and I had a good chat about the incoherence and bellicosity of the military expansion Carney's austerity budget will be paying for.
Magic hour
Lmao dying rn
when I wipe my arse, if I see red mixed with brown its a sign something is fucked up. Why, then, is it seen as admirable for our most "influential" "communists"?
wait do American self-proclaimed "progressives" like Gavin Newsom now? All it took was a few good Memes and Posts to make a critical mass of you forget he platformed the far-right and threw trans folks under the bus? Yikes
We have leaders at every level of government behaving as autocrats. We are not at the level we see in the US, but the danger is there if we don't resist this trend post haste
Lockheed-Martin thanks us for our service.
Retreat is his signature move
Any country in which the primary cause of pediatric death is gunshot wound is a scary place
You're the most violent country on Earth; everyone is afraid of you. The US has killed millions just in my lifetime. This didn't start on January 2025. If you don't like the way other people talk about your country then grow up then change your ways.
Trump can't be king, I suppport the Clinton dynasty for the crown!
Disavow, verb: deny any responsibility or support for. A person with 'disavowtrump' as their username suggesting running another Clinton is a level of irony boardering on comedic.
I do have some sympathy remaining but it's entirely directed at the already marginalized folks who have been fighting this a while now. The people who think 'Merica was good till January 2025 might as well be MAGA in my eyes.
Maybe threatening the people who point out that you're acting like nazis is making the wrong point there bud
Cancel the F35 and scantion Israel.
We can control not appeasing the fascist USA too but you're actively choosing to do so. We can control not building O&G infrastructure while Canada burns but you're choosing to do so.
🧵 I don't know why I do this to myself but anyways... it's September 3rd, OTD in 1939, the UK joined France and Poland in the war with Nazi Germany. Contrary to revisionist theories I've seen On Here, like the USA, at no point was the UK anywhere close to being on the side of Nazi Germany.
Tired pups
Probably the most pro-Nazi western leader was Canadian PM Mackenzie-King. Canada's war declaration followed a week after the British and once again, his sympathies didn't translate into support in any tangible way.
Appeasement was a bad idea, and failed, but not because they wished to see Nazi Germany succeed, so much as they wished for equilibrium in Europe. The Great War cast an immense shadow. Admiration for Hitler simply wasn't something that carried over into deed.
The alliance with France, shaky and poorly executed, was a cornerstone of their deplomacy in this period. To say they wished to align with the Nazis therefor completely ignores their one overriding geopolitical priority for the entire period.
The notion they'd have supported Germany if they'd only attacked communists is true assuming none of the events of 1921-1939 happened, which means it's a meaningless assertion. The one overriding policy of the UK government was avoiding a repeat of WW1 and that's the lens that makes analytic sense.
There absolutely was a desire to let the Nazis do what they wished but geopolitics were decisive. The UKs foreign policy was one of keeping the balance of power in Europe along with their ally, France. Their opposition to Hitler was realpolitik more than ideology.
This did not translate into anything resembling support in society or in foreign policy. The UK had their own fascists, the British Union of Fascists led by Oswald Mosley. The royal family also had some support for hitler especially King Edward VIII. However, this did not shift foreign policy.
Anti-communism was a powerful force from 1917 onward but this did not translate into the British Government's opposition to the Nazis, which had fully developed by 1938. Yes the UK was happy to see Germany fight communism. There were notable pro-Nazis within the British ruling classes.

Disastrous
Anyone who’s waited for a Trudeau presser to start knows that a delay is meaningless. If they wheel him out in a stretcher then I’ll start to suspect something’s amiss
Completly normal.
Listen to our Canadian comrade, Ian Barclay, discuss one aspect of Canada's devolution into America.
💀
I wish I had the unbridled optimism of people who think the death of one shitty right wing leader will mean anything positive as endless lines of even more heinous ones wait to take their place.
Ignorance truly is bliss it would seem.
Great Man Theory has been a disaster
Carney has dived headfirst into militarism as a pillar of his government. Surprise: news media has been more than happy to reinforce a culture of militarism in their reporting. @ianagp.bsky.social returns to talk about this phenomenon and how the news approvingly packages it in reporting #cdnpoli
"What's your source" is a question a lot of you need to start asking before you share things.
As a response to agreement with them about loathing rural people. 🤮
I just saw the phrase "we need to make Liberal Elitism Great Again," and lemmie tell ya, I blocked that shit like reading further would give me cancer.
A strumpet sounds like a musical instrument. Like a brass kazoo.
Max is an amazing driver but a couple years of him in a shitbox is fine by me lol. So happy for Hadjar.
I'm a McLaren fan first and an Oscar fan second. Happy to see Oscar win and extend his lead but sucks for Lando as I'm no hater.
Newsom has unlocked the secret of scamming Democrat voters even more than before: put Trump in the name of the scam.
🫡🫡🫡
Lmao I didn't specify for that very reason
I'm not convinced he's literate
😔🥺😭
Scamming Democrat voters is a multi-billion dollar business
Lmao I didn't even notice the spelling.
Newsome is Trump with a blue suit. My block list is feasting on the comment section of this post.
I've always thought hurling royalist officials out of windows was dope
I like that Prague was so fond of defenistratung that you have to specify first or second defenstration Prague.
We have better flags too
A textbook example of how some accounts spread disinformation to juice engagement. The "enhanced" photo is simply a GenAI output. The distortions were added by Webb when he ran the photo thru GenAI. The flag is a giveaway. The watermark is meant to imply ownership, yet Webb owns neither image.
Yeah their friendship language isn't very different from war language sometimes 😅
Lol there's a lot of that around here
Yeah it's ultimately a scholarly justification and explanation for ethos, which is not a thrilling page turner. Important but not the gateway into leftist ideology it's cracked up to be imo
Exactly like this
#pei #princeedwardisland Brad Trivers is holding a few town halls regarding his proposed changes to the Residential Tenancy Act. Please show up. Please tell him exactly how you feel about his proposed changes. Please show up and share!! 🪡🧵
My mornings summarized in one picture.
Yeah two layers in and you realize it's hearsay
Aren't they sweet "RAWWWR"
Hell yeah
Me reading a recipe 🤝 Me reading leftist theory "I'm not going to do like that and I kinda resent you telling me to."
"I ain't reading that but I'll figure it out."
#AdamLeeWasserman is clearly on an "old favourites" tour. He was harassing catfist and me with weird and inane questions earlier in the week. Now you two. I love it for him that he has come to the erroneous conclusion that everyone is an abolitionist and will not call the cops. #CarymaNgo
Quick! Check the Black Book of Communism!
That's what it's for: eating it immediately
It was definitely dicer than a high-school job should have been.
It was a propane burner my boss wanted me to use in a closed room. The ski pole baskets distorted and hot water made them reform. Thundered in and crawled over to the door controller when I realized what was happening. Lucky.
The left starts at anti-capitalism. The notion that liberals can be a part of the left is factually incorrect. In the US, the most left party is fascism lite.
Owww
Yeah I avoid it for anything analysis generally.
you know, if I were a brit or a Canadian right now i'd be even more mad than I already am. at least we didn't put a "liberal" government in office that turned out to be right wing fash boot lickers. America just said nope we want the real assholes not the fake assholes
Yeah it's infuriating. If we'd elected an open fash at least the shitlibs would be performatively mad rn
A ski equipment distributor's warehouse when I was in high school. Minimum wage under the table. Almost died of carbon monoxide poisoning on the job.
What David Cameron did to a pig head was more dignified than this.
I perpetually have a dozen Wikipedia tabs open at once
unironic use of the phrase "purity test" is the best way to signal to everyone that you're a selfish amoral piece of shit who would eagerly sacrifice any marginalized community you aren't part of in order to preserve your own comfort
I legit enjoy it on occasion
Guys... you're both so terrible and all your good dishes are made by people you love oppressing.
Good call
It was, but it shall not be 😭
I've got some reaaaaly good marinades in the cupboard I want to use. Maybe bbq tandoori chicken? We'll see based on openness of stores with yogurt.
They follow orders don't they? Call me when they don't.
American thinks Tiki Masala isn't British. British people remind American that British people of Indian descent exist. Etc...
I've said it before and I'll say it again: we need to start sacrificing people to the sun by firing them into it with an enormous cannon.
This wildly pointless cuisine fighting is making me want curry for dinner. Might just make that happen.
Should I? Probably.

It's happy monsters no worries
Authorities say more than 800 people have died as floods and rubble hinder rescue efforts.
