Look what your inaction has gotten you, Americans.
You deserve every bit of it and will 100% allow it to continue escalating far beyond this. Watch.
At this point the best case scenario is that you implode so horrifically that you become a really good cautionary tale for the rest of the world’s countries who keep flirting with legitimizing MAGA wanna-bes.
Suck a dick
Surely you can respond without resorting to misogyny/homophobia, right? I don’t even like WizardOfFrobozz acting like Canada is free of the problems of the US, but I don’t think this is the right response.
He’s not looking for well articulated responses if you haven’t noticed.
I’m aware, and you can find my disagreements in my replies to them. I was just pushing back on how you went about it. Even if you just wanted to insult them, there are billions of ways to do so that don’t rely on social stigmas against women and queer folk. That’s it.
Publicly owned media isn’t the problem, it’s that the state that owns this media in particular is a capitalist, imperialist state. Socialist countries with public media are not a problem like capitalist state-run media is. Private media is inevitably subject to domination by capital.
Obviously Trump’s fascist media is a problem, just wanted to push back a bit on what appeared to be condemnation of any publicly owned media apparatus.
“Publicly owned” and “State run” are different things.
The CBC is a crown corporation (a not-for-profit company governed by an official charter). The current Canadian government has no say over what they do or do not report on or how they do it. They’re funded by public money, but they decide how that money is spent. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s a far cry from being a literal propaganda vehicle for the government.
They are somewhat different, but the CBC serves the same purpose as RT, BBC, and now Trump News: to reinforce the ideas of the ruling class.
