@LexyCameron @gemelliz Also, unfortunately, it's divisive, dysfunctional, corrupt and does not represent what people actually want, which may be why many ignore it. It seems futile.

@pguen @LexyCameron @gemelliz the progressive parties in #cdnpoli are authoritarian structures that do more to waste the energy of potential revolutionaries that anything else.

I did a few episodes on it but this one speaks right to the #NDP and #greenparty

@Jessa @LexyCameron @gemelliz Should I be surprised that, as a total party outsider, my perceptions about what's going on pretty well match up with this excellent discussion of internal party politics?
@pguen @LexyCameron @gemelliz It would surprise you how many members are naive to all of it. Partisanship often means unquestioning support.
@Jessa @LexyCameron @gemelliz Actually that's not surprising at all. The ends justify the means but everyone loses sight of those ends in a partisan battle for power. I've been watching it on social media for decades. We should be debating how to prevent humanity from committing suicide instead of bickering in a narrow neoliberal Overton Window. We're lost.
@Jessa @LexyCameron @gemelliz PS: To get even more esoteric, I despair that we may never get enough people to understand the depth of our indoctrination, a necessary first step towards any real change.
