moving here and learning that ontarians do morning anthems and circumcision and thanksgiving made their jihad against americana seem even more ridiculous.
so getting stuck in the hall during o canada because you were late to class is just an ontario thing 😭😭😭

from the perspective of journalism being a bunch of bullshit this goes from ethical nightmare to extremely funny and baller

my issue is fundraising for legal defence, that's purely a scam if you know you're going to be busted. but maybe he didn't start that fund, i'd have to look into it.

well unless someone is pretending to be him on gofundme it's definitely his fund so that's pretty fucked up. i support the vandalism in any event.

was hoping to exploit wainwright incident terrorism fears to bug tories and liberals on here for citizenship exchanges so they could deport me but it does feel like they've just fucked something up very badly with munitions storage

the riot as a form is potential-independent. considering the paris commune, the russian revolutions, the german revolution, i don't think it's in dispute that they had communist revolutionary potential. may 68, fall 2018, george floyd, and now would seem aesthetically similar.
Not against the stuff in France but in general do riots actually constitute proletarian self-activity and do they draw people towards “the left” in any tangible sense

it's an amplification and a forum for coalescence. when there is something to say and something to organize because a society and economy is in true friction, you get what the west got a hundred years ago. when there's not much to say and no basis to organize on, you get this.

if this exact campaign happened in joburg or sao paulo or mumbai, and it was happening in nigeria a few years ago, then my position is completely different because i can see populations enclosed by circumstance who feel they have nothing to lose. the risk of death is worth it.

Bertrand Russell on Lenin "He is dictatorial, calm, incapable of fear, extraordinarily devoid of selfseeking, an embodied theory. The materialistic conception of history, one feels, is his life-blood."

toronto having the most movie screens in the country would lead one to believe it is easier to see movies here, but it's only easier to see unpopular and niche movies. it's the thunderdome for anything popular. competing with every rich layabout in the gta weeks in advance.

archandroid and electric lady are excellent. after she became a celebrity the music got a lot worse but two solid major label albums around weirdo alternative soul is a respectable contibution.
People used to pretend to be really Into Janelle Monáe, something you don’t really see as much these days.

it was underrated for exactly one week. i am thankful i got to see it entirely discourse free.
Is Digger the fastest movie ever to achieve cult status? Feels like it happened before the movie even released

if someone has become a "socialist" in the last two years my default is to treat them as an undeveloped fascist. they would have no contemporary theoretical direction toward anything else. the damage wing has swallowed the post-bernie wing and they now speak with the same tongue.

the trend of western communists toward fascism is different, it comes out of an irreconcilable conflict about who constitutes the revolutionary class. they're not enthusiastic about the tailism, they just don't know what else to do. the socialists are auditioning for it.

and they will be overshadowed by the real deal in time but their work will provide cover for the unifying figure who will unite the "revolutionary" social class-in-itself between trad open fascists and oppositional defiant neo-socialists against liberalism. our shitty mussolini.

this is gonna sound crazy but i don't think you can read too much into if someone likes a movie or not. apart from if they share your taste in movies.

i had setup my series x to have all my games and to be completely offline, which it happily was for a few months. turn it on today and dev mode will not activate and certain games will not register it as a home console. i can no longer recommend it for offline setups.

there are toggles to prevent the system from updating the system or games, but you can't go from offline to online mode without an update check, so you can't just reauthenticate and dip out. there is no escaping the web of authentication apart from pirated software on a pc.
