Srsly Wrong’s latest podcast talked a lot about how oil companies funded grassroots pro oil campaigns and then linked it to our larger culture and how we can’t trust anyone anymore.
I never thought I’d be able to say not trusting each other is big oils fault, but here we are
I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn’t want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn’t want a ‘state’. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There’s probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you’d agree with. It’s the dominant Israeli Zionism that’s horrible.
It’s a lot easier to say ‘Zionist’ though. Just thought I’d share in case you weren’t aware.
When Harper was still in power, the Canadian government had a deal where the oil companies would get subsidized until the oil sands were profitable.
So Canada was giving the oil companies billions.
I’m putting on my tinfoil hat now.
Trudeau rushed to buy the pipeline when it was canceled. Is that because the oil sands can’t be profitable without the pipeline, and this deal is bleeding Canada dry?
I just thought of this now, I’d love some criticism if anyone’s got some.
I think our three major parties are all neoliberal. They all want to do the same things, they just argue against how much to spend and who to give the money to.
There’s exceptions of course. Notably guns and marginalized people.
I’d prefer not to have a neoliberal government, but until then I’m voting for more freedom for everyone. (NDP or Green)
Resorting to insults when you can’t get your point across in a reasonable way. My bet is you’re a teacher.

You’re starting to get it?
That the true believers aren’t afraid of death. The believers that are scared at the concept of dying aren’t actually believers at all.
100% it’s different.
Just because a movie has a jump scare it isn’t necessarily a scary movie. There’s a difference between some existential dread and ‘boo’.
I’d argue that the accident is a startle response with body horror mixed in.
Some people are scared of death. Doesn’t matter the cause. That’s what I’m talking about. It’s 100% different than a fatal car accident.
(Assuming you’re American)
Lots of Americans seem to think that state media is a bad thing. Lot’s of countries get it right. Especially after it’s first been implemented.
I’d often rather have a government (obviously not Russia, China, or in my case Canada) over some oligarch controlling it. Murdoch hasn’t exactly been doing good things wherever he goes
Guy got 87%.
You can’t get 87% of people to agree on pizza toppings for the night
A fatal car accident is different. Could be a shock scare or just not wanting to be injured.
Belief in god has no bearing in reality.
Having said that, my grandfather outlived my grandmother by 10-15 years. On his deathbed, he was holding some marriage pictures. He was looking forward to seeing her. Guy believed 100%. Still makes me tear up thinking about it.
I agree with you.
Either the person isn’t a ‘good follower’ and isn’t going to the good place.
Or they don’t actually believe. Because there should be no fear or apprehension about going to the good place
Fellatio.
Oftentimes from the caterer. I don’t know why. Might want to fact check that one
In some places.
I’ve heard he has so many kids because he likes his own supply and he travels around because he likes the thrill of flouting laws openly with his billionaire immunity.
I’ve also heard rumors about there being a good reason why you only see him from the chest up in interviews
You don’t get incest charges for no reason whatsoever
It’s like they have the opinion that they got it perfect first try.
I’m not a fan of Apple style the same but slightly improved each year, but for a. Investment like that, I want there to be a difference in build quality at the lowest end of the spectrum.
Tesla just pushes the exact same thing with new promises of full auto driving
I’ve heard, so take with a grain of salt, that China likes Chiang’s ideology that China should be reunified.
The disagreement was who should be in power after.
The removal of the statues somehow indicates they don’t want reunion.
‘As I lay dying’ might appeal to you. It’s another song that’s great but nothing like the other stuff in the catalog piece
You could say it was ‘state of the art’
Lol. I’m the opposite. Love his other stuff. I can sing along to most of the songs on two albums, but that hit… It’s an instant classic, but very much a pop song. His other stuff is almost antipop
Saving isn’t the same as profit. Saving is much more beneficial, but our society is focused on profit.
