He recently apologized for those comments as a part of his new, "Please accept me as a serious political commentator" arc.

More like, "This is costing us more money than the shadowy cabal is paying us to keep it going."

He refused to appoint a new Deputy PM after Freeland quit so that there would be no obvious interim leader for him to hand off to.

And now Parliament is prorogued until almost April while the most incompetent Cabinet in Canadian history rules effectively by executive fiat with no opposition scrutiny.

If you watch the trailer, the voice actor is almost certainly not a woman. Which means that this is either really shitty animation or they deliberately made the character either outright trans or just ambiguously gendered.

Pierre is beholden to exactly the same corporate interests as Trudeau. He will fail to produce any meaningful economic improvement, and he will continue mass immigration. Even if he cuts the number of new immigrants in half or more from what the Liberals have been doing, it will still be hundreds of thousands per year and the Cons will paint that as a win because the numbers have come down.

My only hope is that we have a situation similar to what is now occurring in the UK, where both major parties fuck up so catastrophically in quick succession that most voters actually start looking for a meaningful alternative.

And in response, Canadians will replace them with a different smiling, slightly-less faggoty globalist with glasses, who will fix nothing and continue to flood the country with jeets and terrorists until there is nothing left of it.

Only because they think they have a better chance of keeping their seats under a new leader. They're looking at a wipeout right now, and every last Liberal MP marched in lockstep with the policies that brought them to that point. Only now that the ship is sinking dot they voice their disagreement with the course.

I'm starting to think that waiting until all of the WWII vets were dead or dying before opening the floodgates was not just an emergent phenomenon, but deliberate. Imagine if this shit happened when the first-generation SAS were still young enough to do something about it.

They may have a couple of English-speakers working for them, but there's no way they have one who's well-versed enough to ban all of our idiomatic slang terms for certain things.

Not just social media, but yes. What I said about reddit still stands: there are certain VPN companies that will gladly sell or give away "private" user data for advertising or to governments in exchange for their server IPs continuing to have access to websites.

That's how you can tell which VPNs are not actually interested in privacy and will gleefully give away your information, unlike those which try to protect it and only sometimes fail to do so.

Lincoln and Wilson remain the worst presidents in US history. The recent evil bastards have been comparatively so incompetent that their evil is more blatant, but they by no means have a monopoly on evil, or even claim to a greater share of it than Lincoln, Wilson, FDR or Truman.

Carter made a decision to starve an unknowable number of Russian civilians (not Communists, just people) and at the same time gutted the American agriculture industry by cutting them off from one of their biggest markets. And he did it deliberately.

And it also wasn't true. He single-handedly destroyed the family-owned farming industry in the US, and that was just one of the worst things he did.

It was canceled. They fully intended to portray at least the rest of Augustus' reign, and possibly to keep going after that as well.

There was a bit of feminist virtue signaling, but the main focus was the relationship between the two male main characters. It was refreshingly unwoke, and surprisingly respectful of Japanese culture without any anime tropes.

HBO's Rome.

The live-action Consantine with Matt Ryan. The Dresden Files show with Paul Blackthorne.

The original American Gothic from back in the 90s, done dirty by the network and axed after one season.

A very recent one was Tokyo Vice: it was an excellent modern noir, but Max canceled it after 2 seasons.

The left's tendency to view large corporations and multinational businesses with suspicion is something I think most of us agree with. As you said, their problem is that their proposed solutions would just make everything worse. And of course, they're so easily brainwashed that it was trivial to convince them many of those corporations were suddenly good for as long as they spouted leftist talking points.

Whether Musk realizes that or not, it's certainly an issue I disagree with him on. As I said, everything we like about him is rooted in his futurism, but so is everything we dislike. Regardless of his role in getting Trump elected and countering leftist cultural rot, he is ultimately not a nationalist in any sense of the word, and probably looks down on those of us who value national and cultural identities on their own merits, rather than as a means to an end.

Certainly, as a Canadian, I can affirm that the last thing you want in your country is more Indians, however well-educated they claim to be.

Elon is a futurist. Everything good about him is motivated by that singular driving motivation, and so is everything bad about him. He hates woke because he (correctly) believes it stifles innovation and competition and thereby retards human progress. He hates government inefficiency and high taxes for the same reason. He likes the American way of doing things and he fought for free speech and the open marketplace of ideas because he (again, correctly) believes that approach to be the most conducive to technological innovation and progress. He wants skilled immigrants so he can enlist their talents in building his cybertopia.

To figure out what Elon's position will be on any given issue, all you have to ask is "Will this help us get to Mars?"

I didn't think the trailer looked all that good on its own. They would need to make it four hours long to be able to introduce all of those characters properly and still have a coherent plot.
