Damn, two conservative PM candidates in two former British colonies both losing their seats within days of each other. Things are picking up.

The deep mind 3D chess move to make here would be to found a better conservative party and split the conservative vote.

I don’t want to vote against anybody. Canada forces such decisions, though, just like the US and the UK.

This is why I left Canada.

In Canada, the US, and the UK, yeah. In countries with good elections, things are a little more deterministic.

“Mark Carney” is the perfect name to demonstrate the Canadian “car” vowel. I am going to enjoy saying his name as Canadianly as possible.

Lol, all-hands-on-dick

Democracy is about more than just voting, especially in the US, where the vote is so weak and pathetic. The end of segregation wasn’t decided by any vote.

Yep. It’s no longer about which candidate you like the most. It’s about which candidate will make the people you hate the most furious.

Yeah, there would be war crimes.

I read this and thought something didn’t add up. If all Tate ever did was disrespect women and treat them like property, nobody would care about him. Unsurprisingly, the truth is more complicated. See this for example.

The manosphere appeals to its audience because it speaks to the very real lives of young men [. . .] romantic rejection, alienation, economic failure, loneliness, and a dim vision of the future.

The major problem lies in its diagnosis of the cause of male disenfranchisement, which fixates on the impacts of feminism. Here it contrasts the growing challenges faced by men with the increasing social, economic and political success experienced by women. This zero-sum claim posits that female empowerment must necessarily equate to male disempowerment, and is evidenced through simplified and pseudoscientific theories of biology and socioeconomics.

If Tate’s appeal is not addressed, things will get worse.

Just use a manometer.

Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.

The CCP has the right idea this time. Do not negotiate with economic arsonists.

Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It’s the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.

More of a flick than a whack.

Don’t tell me Putin lied… Wow, this must be the first time Putin has ever lied about anything.

Russia is an empire. Straight up, 100%. It should be called the Russian Empire—not the Russian Federation.

(Reminder: “empire” is a bad word lol.)
