  • I want to have hope sooo bad… and I understand you’ve helped with his campaign and say he’s the real deal. But I thought the “reform or revolution” question was already answered. Are we wrong about that?

    Like, I don’t see how this ends well unless it’s all part of a much larger plan to get a revolution going. Is there a larger plan? You don’t have to say what it is, if it’s like op sec or whatever.

    I could see it if it’s like, a plan to radicalize more people:

    Mayor tries to do objectively good shit and gets ratfucked --> people get angrier and say fuck the system (but they could just end up getting more fascist)

    Mayor gets some good things done --> hey socialism is cool, maybe we should join! (join what exactly tho? no vanguard party?)

    ???












  • Although things are getting increasingly fucked, I also don’t trust this channel, Guard the Leaf, it feels astro-turfy to me. It was created about 4 months ago, and this is its description:

    Guard The Leaf is a proudly Canadian voice covering the rising tensions between Canada and the U.S, from trade and tourism to sovereignty and survival. If it affects Canada, we talk about it. This channel is about standing up for Canadian independence, calling out disrespect, and making sure our side of the story gets told, because no one else will.

    My instinct tells me that there’s this volcel-kamala thing going on but for Canadians.





  • Sometimes I doom because I’m not “seeing” much resistance (other than lib stuff) but then I have to remember that the internet is very censored now, and people are being careful about what they say. I’m kind of isolated and not in any condition to be in an org, so my window to the world is whatever I see online. I feel like it used to be a clearer picture but now with all the [Removed by Reddit] it’s getting foggier and foggier. I have a gut feeling, and I hope it’s not just cope… but when Luigi happened, the system took a few days before it could catch up and filter out the genuine reaction of the people. For a few days you could see the unfiltered, un-astroturfed reaction of regular people to what happened. They were overwhelmingly on his side. I mean, he straight up zeroed a guy. And the whole country was celebrating. That’s something. Something really big. So either I’m crazy, or people are really logging off and… you know. That this quietness and libness isn’t just people giving up or being helpless, but rather it’s like the tide going way far out and everything getting real quiet, before the tsunami hits.
