Taxation and the middle class

[plam]

That's just not true. Here, let me give you a list of the things that NZ's right-wing Coalition of Chaos has done in the year since it's been elected. Same thing will happen in Canada and will make peoples' lives worse. And with Jagmeet Singh's no-carbon-tax pledge I certainly can't vote for the NDP.

So as I said, we're cooked, yeah? We get to choose between the dork we call PP. The guy who thinks taxing Netflix is the answer to some of our problems. Or the clown that wore a turban and painted his skin dark for the lulz and turned our country into a total joke on the world stage.

Normally I vote strategically, even though I consider myself a political anarchist, but at this point how can anyone really care anymore? It's not like anyone listened to philosophers such as Jean Baudrillard and his "fatal strategies" or contemporaries such as Nick Land. The world at large still bows down to neoliberal capitalism and that is just...lol, lmao even.

Blow it all up already.

Again, I find the nihilist perspective unhelpful. We will see a difference depending on who is elected, even if the best possible platform can't be put in place.

I think the Liberals are far too centrist, but I am certainly appreciating the telecom regulation that the Canadian federal government has caused. It's a lot cheaper than it used to be. Or, let's take long-term drinking water advisories. Since 2015, 145 advisories have been lifted, and there are now 33 advisories. (https://www.sac-isc.gc.ca/eng/1506514143...3317130660). That's 81% of the advisories gone.
