What’s arguably Canada’s biggest contribution to rock music?

Hardcore punk.

And the band DOA is the band who made it a thing—they coined the term. And they were making hardcore punk all the way back in 1978 with a brand of music that had little to do with New York or London. Yet still recognizably punk.

This also established Vancouver as a major music scene, although one that no longer gets the same credit as LA or DC. Nevertheless, hardcore punk started in Vancouver.

humanity IS NOT monolithic.

We are not wired the same, we are diverse in our shapes, sizes, colors, trait tendencies, personal experiences, how those intersect with our cultural environments, etc.

Sweeping generalizations about "how people respond"

and saying that "people" respond only to threats is…not helpful.

AUTHORITARIANS respond to threats.

Normies don't. Normies also do not intentionally -hoard- obscene amounts of wealth, causing people to suffer for their own gains. It matters

Every country absolutely needs to have a disaster management plan in place that does not include any action whatsoever from the United States.

This includes a communication plan where the US will be actively spreading misinformation and disinformation to make up for dear leaders incompetency on top of the known bad actors from mostly Russia whose agenda is to weaken the rest of the world.

Any country that does not have a plan that absolutely excludes the US is being negligent at this point.

Communication plans must also not rely on corporate media. They are not our allies in the fight for global health. They are extensions of the capitalist class and if the solution to keep us alive threatens Q4 earnings.... Guess what is more important?

This is not a drill. I literally just defended a dissertation on how the media killed people during COVID. I have receipts.
