This honestly reads like AI it so dependably hits neoliberal talking points.

Why is it incredible? The only time liberals invests in public works is when they are forced to. That’s how this system works and the current conditions are extremely favourable to further neoliberalisation of public funds. Canadians are white supremacist settlers in a particularly energetic nationalist moment. It is not hard to sell privileged people on the idea that Canada is threatened by the empire it is a part of and, because they are neglected a understanding of that system, many do believe that military expansion is how that happens.

This is not why the “far right” have experienced successful platforming in North America, it’s because their rhetoric is already consistent with the interests of capital. While there are certainly poor fascists, most white people in this country are not so dependent on social welfare programs that erosion of those services fundamentally alters their politics. They already subscribe to those values, and perceived threats do not magnify them, they focus them. It is easy to tell middle-class white suburbanites that jobs and housing are bad because there are too many brown people because they already hated having brown people here and they correctly identify that they are privileged enough to weather whatever consequences may come from that.

Months old now, but yeah, Canada’s investment into “AI sovereignty” is to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars into a closely US-aligned company founded by a bunch of UoT jagoffs. If you read through their partnerships with Canada and the UK, it is filled with vague buzzphrases about improving national services and “sovereignty.” Apparently , this could mean anything between writing emails for govt employees – which means they’re even less accountable for what they say and do – or straight up making decisions for our public works. When was the last time you saw the federal government invest that much money into its services? Strange that they should make an investment like this alongside a massive expansion of military spending.

Yup, you failed the charisma check. So desperate.

I’m going to be 100% honest with you, I dont trust the people in this community to know what that means, let alone abandon the notion that political ideology is an identity.

This is not a new thing, access to housing has always been a fundamental mechanism of control in settlers colonial states. This was only recognised as a real problem once it affected privileged groups who have experienced enough generational wealth to normalize homeownership.

You’re right, most representatives who make our decisions on housing happen to be members of a privileged class which is actively invested in profiting off that control. It does not end at housing, the exact problem with reform in a capitalist system is the link between privilege and material wealth ensures that the interests of capital remain paramount in society.

which history book, specifically? Why are you so confident you know anything about what you’re talking about?

Gotta afford the jets and oil subsidies somehow.

Lmao, source?

Yes, you dense motherfucker. Where do you think that came from?

Refer above. It’s tough to believe that people from such a civilised place dont know what colonialism is.

I think it is genuinely funny how many of you did not even consider that slavery outside the borders could happen. Almost like youre primed to think of it that way

Hilarious how mad Euros get when they can’t pretend

Would I have to be to have my degree validated?

Could you please cite the human rights agreement the EU is a part of that allows slavery?

Why would I ever be fair to imperialists? The EU exists because Europeans looted the rest of the world until infighting became a genuinely destructive threat to their ability to continue that way of life. There is no altruistic element in its existence, it is to secure the interests of a capitalist and imperialist system. You are uncritically accepting an imagination of democracy that is built around those interests. Anything that isn’t advantageous to them is “undemocratic.” The enslaved people who they subsist on don’t get a vote, neither do the people who live in the ecosystems European companies pollute.

Hmmmmmm I wonder why it’d be so difficult for people in the global south to organise and assert their best interests. Maybe there’s say, a historical system of oppression that depends on their subordination and disunity to exist HHMMMMMMMMMMMM.

The EU is evil, I do not accept imperialist definitions of progress.

I think it is so telling and Euro-brained to say that the European Union, infamously still dependent on slavery and colonialism to function, is not only the only democratic system in the world, but that also any failure to resemble this system is a reflection of the moral impurity inherent to humanity and not an indication of how this system fails to operate in the best interests of humans.

Fucking. Wild. If you want to respond to this, make sure you tell me your favourite decolonial scholars in your comment.

You all know that the facilities where these are assembled and stored will be publicly accessible, right? They never have to be delivered.

Yeah, I believe you when you say having to work for a living isn’t familiar. Have fun licking boots.

They’ve been pushing this for years now.
