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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
