U.S. controls key equipment on new warships, putting Canada in a potential 'hostage' situation over military procurement The United States controls key technology going into new Canadian warships.

We should not spend 2% of GDP on useless American military-industrial pork, let alone Trump's proposed 5%. We should, in fact, spend 0% of Canadian public money on that fig-leaf for US Empire, NATO. Canada should leave NATO and pursue an independent foreign policy. ottawacitizen.com/news/nationa...

This is what 'getting to 2%' looks like, in practice. 80 Billion dollars, of Canadian public money, to 'buy' a warship, the main apparatus of which is not in fact controlled by Canada, but rather by the United States.

Because the crises Trump is basing his executive actions and state of exception on do not, in fact, exist, this procedure is not only an open attack on Canada, Canadians and Canadian sovereignty, but at the same time a profound erosion of he rule of law in the United States.

To take the model of a boat, what they are trying to do is destroy the boat out from under us because they are committed cultists to the ocean. I am so serious, what they are doing right now, aiding in an active and ongoing attack on BC and Canada, is treasonous.

It is outrageous, low-brow, offensive opportunism, to try to turn the occasion of their alt-right daddy actually attacking and menacing Canadian and British Columbians into a cudgel and hobby-horse to relitigate an election they lost. . . *checks notes*. . . four months ago.

What John Rustad and his grotesques like Angelo Isidorou and Gavin Dew are doing right now is beneath vile, absolutely contemptible. They are using an attack on Canada and BC to side with the attacker, to join in the stupidity and belligerence of the attacker. It is absolutely beyond the pale.

NATO is a fig-leaf for US Empire and its dilapidated productive apparatus, nobody should pay any of their GDP to be in NATO, the US should have to pay member states to be in its awful, extremely offensive alliance, to get sucked into its absolute ass proxy wars every week.

Justin Trudeau sucks, but the uncritical hagiography of Chrystia Freeland is noxious. Freeland rose to prominence in the Trudeau Liberals by almost single-handedly gutting a half century of Liberal peacenik foreign policy and made us an adjunct arm of the US State Department.

‘Appalling’: ICC president says threats, sanctions put court in jeopardy US politicians are threatening to sanction court officials over the arrest warrant against Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The court is being threatened with draconian economic sanctions by another permanent member of the Security Council as if it was a terrorist organisation,” ICC President Tomoko Akane

Yes, Netanyahu is maybe the weirdest person to be allowed power in Israel. Sort of like Trump here, who is so virulently anti-American/pro-dictator (esp. Putin). People all around the world are victim to this class of right wing insanity, boosted by foreign influence campaigns and brazen lies.

Haven't fully migrated yet, but I'm getting closer. It is nicer to be the rowdiest and most gregarious on a learned and professional platform here than to be the most sane on a platform which is increasingly just AI videos and extreme racists.

Engels in 1839

Briefträger: Herr Consul, ein Brief! Consul Leupold. Aha! Gut. Engels. Nichts für mich? Briefträger: Nein. Postman: Mr. Consul, a letter! Consul Leupold. Aha! Good. Engels. Nothing for me? Postman: No.

Happy Birthday to Friedrich Engels who was born on this day, 28 November, in 1820! 🎉

He was an autodidact, composer, sketch artist, and, most importantly, a revolutionary

In 1839, the 19 year old shared several compositions (includ. the chorale below) and sketches in his letters

"Today men are put in the coop on the strength of a piece of paper. Some of us slaves can read the law, but very few of us can understand it. . . But without the law the master class cannot exist, hence their efforts to retain their henchmen in office.” - E T Kingsley, BC Federationist March 15 1918

Was trying to think what best first to say on BlueSky, to test the reputation of it being a neoliberal padded cell or echo-chamber, I guess. Historical materialism is correct, the most powerful explanatory and analytic tool at our disposal as a society for self-reflection is class analysis.

The great secret of society is that it is impelled by the interests of classes, the working class and the owning class and that those interests differ and are opposed, and this conflict plays out in all discursive material and intellectual arenas, economic, political, legal, cultural and linguistic.
