    Being incredibly close, genetically, probably helps a lot. Cancer is just ones own cells that turn into a parasitic mass BUT there’s entire dog STI that’s actually a thousands of years old boneless dog(the dog’s cancer cells) which was likely originally spread through a bunch of domesticated, inbred dogs.

    So his immune system’s like “eh, close enough”.




  • The people in power are also all the voters who see this behaviour, who see the obvious lies(even for them in their echo chambers it’s hard to miss some of this), and who continue to support not only him, but conservatism in general. It has never worked, yet they keep saying “ok, so once again it is conservatism that has produced this loser but he’s not a real conservative so I’m gunna keep supporting the POS factory.”

    We can argue about the racism, the sexism, the classism, and all that for a real long time but ultimately a few evil people won’t last against a population that actually cares and a few caring people won’t last against a population that allows themselves to be duped by obvious racism, sexism, etc.

    The GOP, for all their evil and election fraud, still would not win a single election if the people of the US said “no.”



  • It’s been incredibly clear for a long time that the combination of greed, stupidity, and selfishness does not care about making money based on consumer happiness.

    Product is a higher quality so people will buy more? That could mean that someone else can make a better thing, and implies choice. Bettee to just assure that the competition doesn’t exist and then we can make shittier, cheaper things that cost even more.

    Four day work-weeks are more productive and make people happier? It also means they’ll expect respect and we can’t have that.

    Basing the entire world power supply on gasoline is clearly a terrible idea and we should be looking to have a diverse set of sources, many of which are renewable? How about we just make up a bunch of lies and propaganda so that we never need to change?

    Sony had to come up with lithium-ion batteries for their products because battery manufacturers were plenty happy making lead-acid and telling everyone who wanted more to go fuck themselves.

    The reason you don’t understand is because you assume that there’s a level of morality to capitalism and to corporate decision making. There is less than zero, it’s awful on purpose.


  • The government is the union, at a base level, and then you go from there. If your government offers nothing then even a union will only bring you up so much. Both are good even without the other, but the government actually working for the people and making hard laws is the best option if you had to pick. It’s also much more difficult to do considering most people are dumb as hell, so unions help give them a more local opportunity to understand that working together is a good idea.



  • The NDP were right there. Any complaint against them doesn’t mean shit fuck-all when the people makong them voted for the Liberals, the party which brought us not changing how our elections work because they hugely benefit from how unfair they currently are.

    In 2021, the NDP got over half the votes that the Liberals got. They have the support, they are a valid party, and unlike our two flavours of conservative party they at least try to make life better for us. Then you come along, and I think we’ve had this discussion before, and act like our only progressive option doesn’t even exist because it’s easier than accepting that you didn’t actually vote against conservatism, but instead you voted for it and against progress.
