Liberals are passing harsher immigration policies and helping fan the flames of xenophobia, making life harder for migrants who are already here. Deena Ladd joins @desmondcole.bsky.social to discuss how to confront Canada’s new anti-immigrant chapter. breachmedia.ca/confronting-...

The stagecoach driver has fully let go of the reins.

Canada Post is uniquely positioned to be the vector for both high speed rail, and taking couriered delivery service out of the hands of companies like Amazon. But instead the capitalist cowards in charge are cutting it and screwing us all.

It’s not possible to find one lens to explain the moment we’re living in. But the idea that hyper financialization has turned society into an asset class to be raided in order to get stock prices up is pretty close.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network. This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

Justice Department says of ICE shooter: " We did not find evidence of membership in any specific group or entity; nor did he mention any specific government agency other than ICE."

Canada Post was set up to fail It's not funded to act as a public service, even though it obviously is, and it's restricted from pursuing new sources of revenue to compete as a for-profit business Neoliberalism is why we can't have nice things #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Once again asking why a public service is expected to behave like a corporation and earn profits? Shouldn't every Canadian, including those in rural areas, have the right to receive essential mail, such as ID cards, benefit cheques, and medication? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

“Their accounts paint the picture of someone with a vaguely libertarian bent who despised both major parties and politicians generally (including Trump) but who didn’t engage with politics beyond that. He preferred edgy humor, video games and the message board 4chan”

I don't advocate violence But what are people supposed to do? We've seen a million Rodney King videos in just the last few years. Seeing police violence hasn't stopped it. If anything police violence appears to be getting worse. This ICE agent will not face any repercussions

FUCK THIS.

11/ There are still some copies available, but this book deserves a reissue with a introduction by somebody famous.

10/ Instead of centering men who missed the boat (and still don't seem to get it), let's lift up the work of Paulina Borsook, who saw it all very clearly and tried to warn us 25 years ago. Someone should do a profile of her very interesting life. And hey, let's drop some cash into her GoFundme!

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

8/ Unfortunately, “Cyberselfish“ predicted the future but did not sell well. Borsook's writing career hit the rocks as tech fortunes skyrocketed astronomically in the 2000s. She is now elderly, disabled and struggling to survive as the rest of the world finds out what she knew a long time ago.

7/ During a decade in which the USA's favorite “tech critics” were busy shining the shoes of people like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, Borsook saw very clearly where things were headed. Because these things were obvious by the late 90s, at least to journalists like Borsook.

6/ Borsook described “paranoid” anti-government rantings and a tech libertarian culture in which the “gestalt is of testosterone-poisoned guys with chips on their shoulders and too much time on their hands.” And soon, these guys would morph into multi-billionaires...

5/ Borsook warned that “cypherpunk” paranoia about government intrusion was leading them to create “a society where there is ever more surveillance and computer-retrievable information about people's private lives.” Sound familiar?

4/ Borsook divided the tech ”libertarians” into two main types: the Ravers and the Gilders. The Ravers are the ones who go to Burning Man and project countercultural ideas. The Gilders are the Peter Thiel types, more overtly focused on money and power. But they are birds of a feather.

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Here's how the Longueuil police analyzes police stops. I don't want to nitpick, but "biological affinity" is not a thing. We stopped talking about biological races after WWII because they don't exist. Also, "Oriental" is a surprising term to hear for someone under 90 years old.

The best way to “build Canada” is to get it off fossil fuels as fast as possible It’ll create more jobs, more long term financial stability, stabilize pensions, help corner developing markets, and achieve greater economic sovereignty from the Americans #cdnpoli

I’m starting to think that it might be a good idea to stop paying attention to this demented pedophilic rapist

Quick reminder: Billionaires who made their money fleecing people and amassing disproportionate political power typically fund organizations that studiously avoid suggesting that billionaires should be prevented from fleecing people and amassing disproportionate political power.
