Brother, what the fuck are you talking about?

[–] jcrm@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Hey did you know that "as a conservative" you're a horrible person? I can't imagine willingly chaining myself to a party that sells out every public service they can to make a buck, all while trying to outlaw trans and gay people.

Unions can't do anything for people they don't represent. Especially when there's been rampant union busting and propaganda leading to a massive drop in union memberships and solidarity actions.

They've been trying, but when people vote against unionization, there's little they can do.

What the fuck are you talking about? This is about as correct of a statement you could have on this topic.

Maybe your anti-union bullshit needs a reminder that union workers literally died for your rights as a worker. Y'know, like having weekends and child labour laws?

Sure. Why not.

It's more nuanced than that, but if you're going to reduce it to make your vague pro-Nazi point, then fuck off, yes throw them all in prison.

@spaduf it's not real, it's a spez protest community with no posts or subscribers. Honestly should just be removed.

Bro shut the fuck up. "Build more homes" won't do shit unless they're affordable, which they 100% will not be from the cons. Look at Doug Ford for exactly what they'll be doing. They'll blast through environmental protections and force municipalities to build costly, unsustainable sprawl that will get bought up by corporations and speculators trying to make a profit.

As for inflation, carbon taxes have 0 impact whatsoever. Inflation is being driven by corporate greed, which will get even worse with the cons.

The liberal party that has been in power is best described as neoliberal, which is a typically right leaning ideology. Their version of it is more centerist. Regardless, calling them "leftist" is factually incorrect.

Conservatives will always make things worse. They don't serve us, they serve themselves and whoever will make them the most money. Everything you're frustrated by from the liberals will get far worse with them in power.

The only party currently offering solutions is the NDP. Their housing plans involve policies that have been tried and tested in studies and in practice, they have a real plan for dealing with the climate crisis, and they're the only ones who will make electoral reform happen, which would end the liberal-conservative feedback loop we're stuck in.

Again, I don't care how you've voted. If you're considering voting for the cons with him in charge you're an idiot. Flat out. Conservatives only ever make things worse, every single time.

It's hilarious how cons think I automatically like our current PM because I think Skippy is an idiot. I don't care about anything you have to list, because I'm not talking about Trudeau. If the best defence you have is to attack some other guy, MAN y'all are in worse shape than you realize.

Skippy supported a group that was attempting to overthrow a democratically elected government, and constant pushes bullshit conspiracy theories.

Cool, he's also a lying scumbag that will do anything to enrich himself, and get himself more power.

I understand how banks work, and that labour has to be compensated, but thanks for being condescending and somehow taking away that I want to abolish currency?

First: We could absolutely be giving homes away and still compensate the people that build them. Finland has been having huge success by (in some degree) giving housing away, or providing it at cost.

Second: saying there's bigger evils out there doesn't mean landlords get a pass. Especially in Canada where our housing costs are skyrocketing DIRECTLY because of landlords, corporate or otherwise. Them being any better or worse doesn't matter when they're the biggest problem RIGHT NOW.
