In the last federal election, I voted for the Green Party candidate. And he won! Meanwhile, you voted for the Democratic candidate, and they still probably lost. As far as I'm concerned, that makes me a saavier political operator than you'll ever be. I can tell you the exact point I decided to vote Green: the night before the election, an NDP canvasser came to my door. He asked me who I was planning to vote for. I told him the truth, that it was either them or the Greens. Instead of telling me what I wanted to hear - what the NDP could do for me - something like "yeah, they're stronger on environmental issues, but we'd rather spend that money on social programs," instead he couldn't wait to go negative. He told me the Greens were planning to take away my abortion rights (which are a big deal to me, because I'm one abortion away from a free submarine sandwich). I knew that was a half-truth: the leader of the Greens may have said she wouldn't compel her MPs to vote one way or the other on ANY issue, but the fact is every Green candidate was pro-choice anyway. All his other talking points were in the same vein, it was fucking disgusting and reminded me why I vote Green in the first place: because the established left-wing parties couldn't wait to cut the Greens out of the debate, and thereby secure their left flank, so they could challenge the right-wing parties on social issues while at the same time shifting their own economic policies closer to the centre.
Let's not talk about the last provincial election, held a few days ago, where my other Green Party candidate lost miserably to the NDP. I wasn't too broken up about it - they would've been my second choice, if I lived in a country with a first-world electoral system, where voters rank candidates in order of preference. But Canada is still stuck in the Dark Ages, with a first-past-the-post system. Did you know that Justin Trudeau's Liberals actually ran on a platform of electoral reform? After the election, Trudeau decided the Canadian desire for electoral reform was actually a desire for a change of government, and now that we had the government we wanted, reform was unnecessary. What a fucking shitweasel.

I'm sure these tweets make perfect sense to someone steeped in American political news, but they're literally unintelligible to me. I only read American news when they're getting ready to bomb the rest of us. That hasn't happened too much since Trump took office! And the lefties can't wait to attack him for his "doveishness". At least they could respect Reagan, and Bush, and the other Bush, because they didn't kowtow to dictators - they took 'em out. And hundreds of thousands of civilians along with them, leaving their countries measurably worse off than they were before. Even Clinton and Obama launched cruise missiles - at someone, somewhere, who knows the specifics. Ask an American of any political persuasion to justify the invasion of Panama, and they'll have to check Wikipedia just to make sure it really happened. But Trump did call Trudeau a two-faced shitweasel, didn't he? Well that's just being honest. Trudeau is the kind of guy who can spend his days deriding any criticism of his immigration policy as "racist," while simultaneously spending his nights singing Day-O in blackface. Meanwhile, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh would say a fair immigration policy would preference family reunification, helping immigrants bring over their wives and children, over flooding the labour market with able brown bodies. But what does the right honourable Mr. Singh know about the immigrant experience?
I'm getting off track. The point is, I have issues that matter to me, and freeze peach on the internet is one of them. I've come out on Caltrops to defend such despicables as Rock Paper Shotgun's Claudia Lo, and Ars Technica's Ben Kuchera, and now even the fucking NY Post. I know this is Noam Chomsky-advocating-for-Robert Faurisson levels of cutting off my nose to spite my face, but it's my nose, and it's too big anyway. You should know something about that, you fucking tranny-loving kike.
Don't listen to me. I usually just read Caltrops, but right now I'm on painkillers for a broken leg, and also a lot of scotch. You're probably my favourite poster after laudablepuss. |
