'Murica, you had yourselves a real nice Land Of Oz there, for a while. Nobody is weeping for you right now, we are simply watching you, expectantly, because you are still going to be the ones who get it the worst. Not that it won't destroy us too.
In the meantime, we in #Canada have been lucky enough to avoid the full fascist takedown through coldly rational voting choices, but that won't be enough in the coming months.
The hollowed-out husk of the 20th Century does not want go quietly into that good night, and we are talking like we are planning to leave it behind as we descend from the Everest of cold war madness, leaving it to choke on whatever it can extract from a pressurized container of money.
I say good riddance to the 20th Century, and all the toxic ideologies that dominated it. Which brings me to the point of this:
Banker Daddy can't have your back, and the bank's back too.
Never has happened, never will happen.
He's playing it like what we need is a Better Capitalist, but what he left out of that Most Stirring Speech, the one that credulous #LIberals even here on the #fedi have been proclaiming to be historic, hell someone compared it to Eisenhower.
What he left out of that is that he is an avatar of that ideology, dressed up in rainbow drag once a year. He is the critic and the continuation of that zombie century. He is a Rage Agasinst The Machine shirt featuring Che Guevara, which you (I) purchased at #Walmart in 1995.
The so-called "conservative" party, on the other hand, is not promising to wrangle the ups and downs of market capitalism, oh no
He's the fucking Quisling Traitors And Addled Fools party, and he just wants to sell the whole country to the bank that bids the highest.
So what's left, since we have apparently committed to the gag that #Trudeau and #Singh DIDN'T just deliver us free birth control and diabetes meds and fucking dentistry, while the world around us shat in its pants, reached in there and started hurling? For these acts of civil service that will echo down the generations, we are demanding they walk away in shame, because OF FUCKING COURSE WE ARE.
What's left is, you have several more days in which you loyal #Canadians can register as an #NDP member, and vote for @avilewis as the next leader of the party.
You will be placing on the podium, assuming the cowards are willing to have the debate at all, our very own 1930s-style Socialist candidate, who has already said all the things that Liberals claim we don't want to hear. I think that's bullshit.
Spend ten bucks (what I paid as an underemployed worker), pinch your nose if you must, but join and cast your vote for Avi, and come the next election, we will have us a real #Monsterdon-style watch party, so we can watch Banker Daddy twist on the fork of his own highly conflicted interests. He's been skewering politicians on their bullshit since Muchmusic days.
Do it.
