can I bitch for a second about how utterly poo poo canlit is

'oh no I'm a realtively wealthy white person who is bored, I know! I'll go into the woods to find myself! Whoops I almost died for stupid reasons, time to go home to my life of comfort satisfied at having achieved nothing'

all our popular media is garbage picked out by a handful of boring unimaginative and butthurt old men and when the occasional Cool Fun Thing gets made like ReBoot everybody remembers it for 25 loving years

But only if they Work Hard.

I love the implication of "...and those working hard to join the middle class!" is that there is a huge shitload of poor people just sitting around with their thumbs up their asses doing nothing, apparently

it's a transparently lovely attitude and the fact that so many canadians eat it up just goes to show how loving trash piss garbage our culture is

I occasionally get emails from the local NDP riding association saying theyre having a meeting but it's in some guy's house with a two car garage and a lot of decorative moulding so I'm weary

i mean it's good that we still have a somewhat functioning society that allows for a variety of viewpoints and time spent on cultural pursuits. It's a loving shame that they waste that ability and energy on this

Comfortable middle to upper middle class white people like the kind that dominate Canada's media and political landscape aren't taught any real information about why or how they came to be so comfortable, instead they have a load of smoke blown up their backsides their whole lives so that by the time they hit adulthood their heads are planted so far up their own assholes that they believe they can actually see daylight

They like being told that they're harder workers, that they're more clever or moral than any Other, nebulous or well defined. They want to be told that they possess some ineffable quality that makes them more deserving than those less fortunate than them in order to justify how they live and that's why this crap is so popular with that crowd

When I mention doing hard left stuff to my co workers like taking property away from landlords and giving it to poor people or turning all companies into workers co ops they all agree with me, if someone you could vote for actually ran a campaign saying stuff like that such a candidate would probably enjoy massive turnout.

gently caress the NDP for blowing it over and over and over. I keep voting for them because they're the least lovely option but that's never going to be enough.

What's with the NDP and Star Trek?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQQYbKT_rMg

Star Trek (used to) posit a future where poverty and need no longer exist in human society because we've learned to stop loving each other over and grow from each other's differences, gee I can't imagine why there'd be fans of something like that in a nominally left wing political party

tbf, Scheer is also a Trekker

There are a lot of people whose only real fascination with it are the colour palette and the vaguely military trappings, everything else they either gloss over or openly complain about

I suspect conservative trekkies are the human equivalent of a cat batting a ball of tin foil around

I think that the JJ Abrams Star Trek films are a pretty good indicator of what market research revealed to be the essence of Star Trek to nostalgic baby boomers and you won't find any hint whatsoever of utopian socialism, futurist speculation or people in poorly fitting jumpsuits and weird makeup talking about high culture.

Reminder that 42% of Ontarians did not bother to vote. 42% of people looked at Doug Ford and said, meh I could take him or leave him whatever

People stayed home because they didn't think the other choices were meaningfully any better. They were wrong of course, but given our media landscape it's understandable how people would arrive at that conclusion

why bother when 90% of the time the other guy fucks them over just as much

fun fact: if you want people to vote, you need to give them a reason to. and no "the other guy is a nazi" is not good enough as has been proven over and over

So many people just plain don't believe there are nazis doing poo poo these days it's unbelievable, there's this attitude that they're just bad guys from movies and video games and not a real threat even if they're aware of how awful Trump is etc

I wonder how real poo poo will get when the real estate bubble pops, like if people will wise up fast or just flail around blaming minorities and such
