  • Not much to teach. Just lucky to have another citizenship and some savings. Then theory just helps with answering questions like:

    • Could there be life-disrupting/threatening political change in Canada in the foreseeable future?
    • Would it be safe if we just move to northern Canada?
    • Should we move out of Canada in such an eventuality?

    with a “yes,” “no” and “probably yes.” Previously I might have answered those with “no,” “yes” and “no.”

    It’s a simple matter of fact that many if not most of us, at least in NA have started with the default lib programming. There clearly is a path through deprogramming that creates likeminded people who then support people like Zohran. Playing the word gymnastics like Mamdani does enables libs to take on some of these ideas instead of rejecting all of them because of one thought-terminating slogan. That puts them on the deprogramming path. I don’t think this contradicts any long-term leftist goals.


  • I don’t think we’re doing that. We can critique our own and we should. We should do a lot more of this before a candidate is locked in for an election. That doesn’t mean we don’t vote for those candidates at the election. I think almost anyone here who lives in NYC would vote for Zohran.




  • Yeah but to complete the square, there has to be praise for the murder of Palestinian politicians. I assume that’s about the strike in Doha and a brief search only shows them “being concerned” over it, not praising it. Of course it’s a meme so there’s no point litigating the accuracy to the T. I’m sure things aren’t the same behind closed doors. But if there’s a src for the lib praising Palestinian politicians’ deaths that would be helpful.






  • Yes, exactly. Mass public transit’s value isn’t in how comfortable the seat is. It’s that it can move you from almost any place to any other place, “autonomously” in a reasonable amount of time and at low cost.

    I didn’t mean to imply that only main arteries were served, just that in Bulgaria for example the main arteries used the articulated 280s instead of the 260s. :D But yes, they were everywhere. There were Chavdars too in less busy areas:
