I don't think it's new info that there is a substantial percentage of fascists in communities that are predominantly cishet men.

You seem like a vile, miserable man.

Oh look, the consequences of so-called Canada's actions once again. If only people spent the last half-century advocating against an economic dependency on extractive capitalism because of the fundamentally fascist politics that results from it.

Except, there's indigenous nations in Alberta that would be put at risk if the Province of Alberta decides to fuck up this bad.

Not effectively, no.

Crazy how these guys keep talking this way and still feel safe after this past year.

Weird that we get headlines about the "bad" imperialists that do this and not the much more effective "good" imperialist which has such an influence on our elections that most information on them is only accessible with their permission.

Well yeah, US cyber crime is just their business model so the neolibs allow it.

What? D: You don't have $7,000 to spend on a bakfiets that couldn't even fit all your stuff anyway?

I'm not sure if you just couldn't understand my statement and attempted sarcasm here or if this is a genuinely bad response that unironically blames the bike. I'm clearly pointing to culture as the root cause of this, particularly the predominance of neoliberal politics and settler-colonial relationships with the land, so I assume it's the former but that doesn't apply.

You misunderstand, what you said was rude enough on its own to warrant animosity. You fundamentally do not understand what you are talking about because you lack the basic empathy and systemic knowledge to even identify the problem; you have presumed that by the grace of god you have divine answers and never questioned why you think what you think. Who benefits from such a shallow narrative?

"Personally I think an hour long commute by bike would be much more pleasant."

I know that may come as a shock to you, people are not just dumber than you. Most people do in fact make good decisions based on what resources they have available to them, and time is extremely limited for us poor peasants who have to work for a living. It does not matter if you think infrastructure is the only reasonable barrier and most people are just big lazy dumdums, because infrastructure is not getting fixed in most places in this country. As with many Canadians, I do not live in a place where it is safe or practical to use a bike regularly, that is a fact. The closest grocery stores to me are about forty minutes round trip by bike and would require me to traverse a six lane highway to access, that is not acceptable when it is a ten minute drive with nearly zero risk to my body. Yes, that is too much time because again, this may be shocking to you, people with work and responsibilities also have significantly limited energy in their day that would be expended not only by the biking itself, but the stress of risking your life to make the trip. People who work fucking forty to sixty hours a week on swing shifts with kids are not obligated give up whatever time and energy they have to maintain their health and home to force the use of a bicycle to make up for being forced to have a car. It is pointless.

Your comfort is irrelevant, I do not give a shit if this reality makes the world more incomprehensible to you. Grow up, not everyone has your resources and you've been privileged enough to get what you've had.

Unreal level of pompous douchebag energy here, I will not be paying attention to you and I will not read whatever bullshit response you cobble together.
