  • That’s an honest question. There was a recent F.D. signifier video on edgewood films and if satire works or not.

    To save you an hour: While yes, satire is funny and informative for those of us on the left, and they show a great degree of well made art which you should enjoy, those who support what’s being satired aren’t impacted. Rather they ignore the overall message and cheer on the negative aspects being made fun off. Which wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t amp up terrible aspects (violence against marginalized groups, for instance) and thus end up getting people hurt and/or killed.



  • Even a pro-natalist like Morland, who describes himself as “unapologetically rightwing”, accepts that humanity must have a population limit. But he argues that its decline needs to be better managed and should be delayed until AI and robotics can replace labour.

    So let me understand Morland’s view here. He believes in right-wing, thus most likely is against government assistance for new families (I feel i may be taking a leap here, being Canadian and feeding my view of right wing here). However he doesn’t want people to give up on having kids prior to AI and robotics being able to replace labour.

    Both of these things are years off. Some AI skeptics feel AI is decades off being able to replace labour in a significant way. Tesla recently had robots that couldnt even handle being bartenders without people controlling them. Thus his answer is… to nag people to go through worse lives and have kids (due to the costs/time commitments, I’m not trying to Slag off having kids here, the joy you get is wonderful, I’m just pointing out the costs and sacrifices) until they fix the issues? I know they didn’t write an answer attributed to him, but I really don’t understand his position here. We seem to hit a point where I, personally, would be questioning my own rightwing beliefs.

    How to make young men angrier? Tell them a healthy amount of maturation (7 to 21 times a month according to Google but usually just when you feel like it is fine) is unhealthy and to stop for a month. No air November up next!







  • In what way? I am Canadian, so this question is very odd.

    Yes, he’s a nepotism baby, his father was PM in the 70s.

    But he’s the leader of a center left party. He has been in power a long time, but in a minority government. He dropped his promise to change election laws and lead the government to legalize weed. He should have been a lot better on the environment but also wasn’t (blatantly) hostile to environmental causes.

    He was caught doing black face in the past and his government was too nice in bed with SNC Lavalin and should not have helped them by interfering with the justice system . But again, he didn’t deny it.

    Heck, we had truckers convoy across the country with swastikas and occupy our capital to try and oust him. So our version of Jan 6th was anti Trudeau, versus being lead (or spurned on) by Trump.

    So its not a 1 to 1 to Trump. He’s closer to Clinton in that he’s a slimy politician who does some good things but clings too hard to the status quo and has some skeletons in the closet.
