"Capitalism Stole Our Whole World. Take it Back Now!" Sticker seen in Vancouver, Canada

this wave of canadian nationalism is so nauseating. there's no justification for supporting a settler colonial nation regardless of its relationship with the u.s. empire.

I wonder how the writers who sided with the Giller Prize and that sweet, sweet blood money over their colleagues last year are feeling right now. This is welcome news, but I'm gonna remember those writers going forward.

Now would be a great time for the left in Canada to have a serious, coherent agenda that seeks a structural transformation of material life in service of workers, rather than, you know, keyboard warrior emoji shit and first-year undergrad epithets.

ICE picking up every non-white person they can and putting them in detention centres is connected to all the tariffs. America is going to need to manufacture everything themselves, and those people will be used as slave labour. America is just getting ready to ramp up doing slavery.

ICE is the American SS

A bunch of losers went out and threw Nazi salutes in Alberta, Canada yesterday while holding racist signs. Might be time for the media to stop calling them “hand gestures” and start reporting on this big fucking problem for what it is!

Fellow Canadians, I think now would be a good time for all of us to start learning about the French resistance and partisans during WWII. Feels like that'd be some good knowledge to have right now.

I just got my membership! I'm very excited to see someone so committed to uplifting people in Vancouver elected to council.

Peak liberalism is watching the US take off its mask so the fascism is looking all of us right in the eyes, and thinking a social media post calling Trump stupid is somehow a show of resistance.

People talk about American values and I’m always so confused like- a country built on the backs of enslaved people and the slaughter of indigenous people that has fought tooth and nail against any kind of change and worships capital… like that the values

The failures of these two men brought fascism to Amerikkka:

America is doing Nazi salutes at their presidential inauguration and talking about how they are going to invade, and our leaders are arguing about who's gonna be tougher at the negotiating table. What the fuck are we doing?!

Rednote has opened a lot of eyes to how we've been fed propaganda and lied to about China. This is good. Now that we realize that, we should be thinking about what other countries have we been told lies about. North Korea, Cuba, the USSR, etc.

TV seasons should be 22 episodes long with no commercials, made by cable auteurs who get network money but work reasonable hours & there should be a legally obligated Halloween episode with a sexy misunderstanding

my sources are telling me that with tiktok banned Gen Z are buying thematically linked short story collections in droves

are you guys gonna be communists yet bc i don’t think i have another four years of this shit left in me

O fuck. David Lynch. Nooooo

tv seasons should be 22 episodes long and at least 30% of those should be pure crap

wish u bitches would read some lenin

The kids are dying without media literacy.

Just got on Rednote, and the first video I saw was a fancam of Luigi. I think I'll be staying there. The people yearn for the Communist Party of China!

End the Palestine exception.

Anybody know where Biden is? I feel that as president, he could at least weigh in on Trump annexing canada.

I think Tom Mulcair should run for Liberal leader. That'd be fun.

First day back to school. My poetry class meets in the basement of the business school, and that somehow feels totally appropriate to me lol

What's it called when the state starts to combine with corporations? I swear there's a name for that.

The funny thing about a potential Bloc opposition is that it will be our only hope for a social democratic opposition party that knows how to do politics.

One of these translations is the best, and one of them is the worst. Two of them are just fine. That's my contribution to the Odyssey translation discourse.

Jeez, they really don't know what to do about people's support of Luigi.

Can’t get past the NYPD and Eric Adams putting on a ridiculous show of force to transport Luigi Mangione and make the ruling class feel better. And across town they’re using force to attack a strike and make the ruling class feel better. Rarely is the purpose of cops so obvious.

Honestly though, how does Trudeau and the Liberal government keep going at this point? Cabinet resignations, caucus revolt, and people want an election. The only reason we haven't gone to the polls is because the NDP are spineless twerps who'll probably lose seats too.

I just finished reading Jesus' Son by Dennis Johnson, great collection btw, and with that, I reached my reading goal for the year with a few weeks to spare!

This is a really great piece that actually explains what being a postal worker is like, both physically and psychologically, and what posties are fighting for beyond more money. globalnews.ca/news/1090840...

O, they are freaking out! They're so scared of the working-class having class solidarity, especially when our anger is directed at them.

Watching the Star Wars Holiday Special has become an annual tradition with my partner, and I can't say I'm too happy about this development.

I think Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time. I also think Timothee Chalamet is one of the greatest actors of our generation. And I don't know if I've ever been more excited for a biopic than A Complete Unknown. I want this known before everyone's favourite song is Like A Rolling Stone

He got caught at a McDonalds in Pennsylvania!? Just another reason people should be boycotting!

Ok, fine, I'll bite. Who is Jesse Singal?

This is time where a party actually interested in improving things for the working class would be demanding a complete upheaval of the status quo. Instead we get this piddly shit. It’s enraging.

I think all Americans should reflect in this moment and ask if *doing something* about rich CEOs will make things better or worse for their country. Will this assassination be an anomaly or a precedent?

The cool thing about being in canada as we spiral into WWIII is we aren't very important geopolitically (even though we like to pretend we are) but we are still allied to the point of humiliation to the side that is definitely going to lose and our lives will all get worse because of that.

My Spotify wrapped makes no sense. Like mathematically impossible. There are songs in my top 50 that I've never listened to, but also artists in my top 5 that don't have a single song in my top 50. It feels totally random.

I'm about to go to workshop for a real risky essay I wrote. I already had to meet with the Prof. and I have no idea how my classmates are gonna take it. Wish me luck!

Donald Trump is joking about turning Canada into a US state, while Canadian premiers run around like fools offering him the world before he even asks and opposition leaders sacrifice our interests for short-term political advantage. The state of this country is truly embarrassing.
