Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
He has to rail against white guys not being special to the dreaded "woke" because those dreaded "wokeys" are attempting to even the playing field out, which is only realy possible by taking a dip too far in the other direction, which they have, which is what so many people are upset about, and because he IS a white guy who didn't have things easy, and possibly (from the sounds of it) even worse than a lot of marginalized groups, he can't fathom it because it feels like he has to fight against being a white guy AND society to climb out of a hole now when really he's never understood or appreciated what's just naturally fallen into place for him without any noise or aberrations in the force as an average white guy when he was dong really well now that he's squandered it all and has to start from the bottom again.
The real villain in his story seems like his parents, but I guess the "woke mob" are a good substitute when they're the only ones alive to rail against/blame.
You said your issue was "Rather than pretty much listing every group except, well, you know who."
It's okay, the Reddit hivemind knows exactly what I'm insinuating and the video above is just another drop in the ocean of evidence that the claims of "marginalization" are completely backwards.
We all know who the system wants to uplift when it comes to the lower and middle classes, while those same standards don't apply to the elites. Hence why Ruby Dhalla was torpedo'ed by the Liberal party and not even given a chance, while Mark Carney was coronated from day 1. Rules for thee, and all, is the gold standard for Canadian culture since wokeism paved over our culture.

Great68 you don't have to always come across so jealous that I managed to do all the things most guys dream of... before I was 25.
Is life difficult now? Sure, but a lot of that is due to what happened as a result of the bullshit during COVID. I'd be making fat money in 2025 if it weren't for that colossal amount of bullshit, media coordination, and insane government overreach. Shit crushed my balls for sure. But, here I am on a Sunday morning, cooking breakfast, socializing on a forum, getting ready to code with the AI and Cursor and work on my comeback.
Even Elon's rockets have to fall back to Earth for a refueling.

I feel like the F35 purchase is a damned if you do and damned if you don't type of thing. On one hand, there are so many reasons why Canada should really go through with the purchases. On the other hand, given the currently strained relationship with the US, it also feels wrong to keep giving that much money to the US.
My concern would be where do we get parts for maintenance if the relationship with the US sours even further? If the US or Russia decide to make a grab for some of our territory, the US isn't going to keep selling us parts for the equipment we're using to defend it.

I'm curious how many shares of PLTR you hold/held or what your entry point was.
You should not sell them for a long time. Unless you're a trader, in which case I doubt I could convince you to hold for more than a day.

That is entirely true, and that's part of the reason why this is such a difficult decision to make.
For the time being, I continue to -- perhaps naively -- refuse to believe that Americans in general have taken an antagonistic attitude towards us. Trump and his yes man cronies definitely do, so the next 4 years are going to be difficult. But when Trump eventually leaves the picture in 4 years, I would expect US-Canada relationships to return to a far more "normal" state. This is not to say that Canadian trust towards the US would completely recover, but at least we shouldn't be antagonistic.
I feel like that iuf we can find some sort of pause button on the F35 purchase, or only make a nominal purchase until the coast becomes more clear, that would be the ideal solution.

Whatever happened to fighting The Establishment? You like the Nazi wannabe?
I don't know if you realize but the left in America IS the establishment still standing.

The administration in power is left wing?
Is the establishment now just a way to say "people I don't agree with" to claim some sort of moral superiority?

Dude, if you're gonna argue, at least make the argument convincing?
Whatever left-leaning establishment that was left over from the Biden era have been getting gutted in the last 2+ months.

A German tourist was recently held in an ICE detention facility (even while she had a return flight back to Germany booked). She was held for over a week in solitary confinement.
While egregious, that's not even the interesting part.
These ICE facilities, like I've harped on before about conservative policies, are contracted to privatized entities, in this case Core Civic. Trump's attorney general Pam Bondi was a lobbyist, who lobbied for that very industry, private prisons for the GEO Group (a private prison company) that stands to gain billions in ICE contracts through the Federal government. Let me also add, she failed to disclose her lobbying positions as a conflict of interest to her now current AG role.
See something interesting that happened in November (right after the election), both of their stocks doubled in price.
This is the corruption that is happening behind the scenes that people aren't tracking, it's these little things that I love digging around and looking at.
There's so many moving parts in this grift that it can make your head spin.
Interesting, The Guardian is now reporting about what I was harping about a few weeks back, regarding that Canadian woman who was recently detained.
“The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.
Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts”
The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.
But the $50+ billion dollars Pfizer made was because they care, not because COVID was exaggerated for insane profits... and hospitals that got extra money for treating COVID patients totally weren't profit motivated at all...

Every single thing seems to go back to Covid. You legitimately need therapy. That's not a dig. You gotta get this resentment out of yourself about something that isn't changing and isn't happening even anymore if you actually want to move forward with life. Not everything is the same as a vaccine you didn't want.

Remember when trump and a bunch of tech bros announced they where going to spend 30 billion on AI data centres and musk got upset and claimed they did not have the money. Well musk is now joining them.
Elon Musk’s xAI and chipmaker Nvidia have joined a $30 billion artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure project.
The AI Infrastructure Fund, backed by BlackRock, Microsoft and Abu Dhabi AI investment group MGX, announced the two-high profile sign-ups Wednesday (March 19), noting that their ultimate goal was to raise up to $100 billion for artificial intelligence (AI) development.
