Commie blocks would help this country’s housing crisis immensely. I double dog dare him.

That’s because they’re only one part of a whole solution. The issue was never the drugs themselves. The reasons people get addicted to drugs are largely systemic in nature. Systemic solutions for systemic problems.

I should lay out that I believe in housing as a basic human right and think that everyone is entitled to a safe and warm place to sleep. But even when arguing from a practical standpoint it’s next to impossible to find a job that will hire a person with no address and possibly no government ID (need an address to get documents!). For people to even have the chance to turn their lives around they NEED a personal living space to store their belongings. Doesn’t even need to be any more complex than a hotel room.

I understand the frustrations with safe consumption sites, but they are realistically solvable, and the only reason we haven’t solved them is because all these politicians are too myopic to realize the long-term benefits of actually helping our communities. They do provide a real service with the guarantee of medical staff on hand and 100% pure doses that won’t instantly kill you. The problem is that without all the other things in place they look very silly.

Take a break from sipping the debate bro juice.

Remember when Elon claimed to be a libertarian before literally joining the establishment Republicans? Libertarianism isn’t real. “Libertarians” bend the knee to conservatives and fascists so quickly it doesn’t matter what the ideology supposedly says. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t “say” anything about fascism. If you can’t connect these two things, that is simply a failure in critical thinking.

It’s not controversial to say that police departments lie constantly, especially about minorities. I’m no anarkiddie, I just recognize this pattern.

The police have cried wolf, or failed to, far too many times.

Agreed. Short term it might seem unwise but the long term consequences of failing to strike are a slow methodical erosion of the few worker rights we have left.

God damn I hate Trump but presidential McDonalds would fuck hard. I love my trashy food.

Ah yes, dopamine. The pop science final boss. Neurotransmitters are way more complex than this… Dopamine is responsible for some functions to do with the brains reward systems, but definitely not all, and it has LOTS of other functions in the brain and body.

This is a no true Scotsman fallacy. The simple truth is that conservatism always served fascists, it’s just more overt now.

Come on, not OP but we both know credit cards disproportionately fuck over the poor. Sometimes necessary expenses surprise you and you don’t have any other choice. Personally I have great credit and 1 continually paid-off credit card but I’m not gonna pretend it’s a moral failing if you don’t. I know of a card that has a 40.99% interest rate here in Canada because it’s marketed towards poor people with bad credit.

You say that but we all remember him personally mass banning elon musk parody accounts and banning photos of himself he didn’t like.

Average leftist meme length. For real though, institutions don’t mean shit when they’re controlled by fascists too.

It’s literally just a coincidence. It didn’t even occur to me until other people said it.

Many of us are quite familiar with American politics. If you emigrate, you’ll figure out why.

Love Calgary and Edmonton. But the UCP is ruining this province. Please don’t come here.

Sorry, I don’t have a recommendation, but I will warn you against Alberta. I’ve lived here my entire life here and I love this land, but it’s getting more dangerous here for queer folks. BC could be a consideration if you can afford housing there.

I can’t believe people don’t like this guy. Have you seen the other politicians?

I think most of us pick this up intuitively. The title is basically “water is wet” to those of us that have submitted stuff late all throughout school.
