Canada: the literal enshittification of a country. Just the latest that's affecting trucking and has for 2 weeks. Not a peep in mainstream press. Not the first time, either. Gun grab Gary is the minister responsible for this.

There are things I want to say right now but they're neither fair nor conveying clearly what the real problem is so I'll leave it at: I miss the old Canada and I'm fucking sick of what it is now.

I never understood the desire people have to attack the Satoshi statue. Most people walking by likely don't even know what it is. So this is either malevolent with purpose or your basic bitch string or on vinegar and bile.

Abundance: to have more than enough to meet one's need, plentiful supply, often implies prosperity or wealth. Abundance is not given to you. Abundance is created by you. It is down by your efforts and harvested at maturity. It is the relationships you form, the children you have, the food you grow, the home you build. It is the citadel within yourself. Do not allow THEM to double speak the word "abundance" into meaning a welfare state, dependance, and a reframing of your needs. When you hear someone mention "abundance" these days you need to pay closer attention to what they're saying for they may be programming you into subservience.

Name a country that: - makes healthcare and college/university single payer exclusive (private options are illegal) [socialism] - regulates to protect chosen corporations in telecom, media, dairy/poultry, banking, airlines, railways, and liquor distribution [corporatism - the economic model of fascism] - utilizes govt power with control over telecom and banking to punish or silence opponents [authoritarianism] - the state is the largest employer [statism] Result: rapidly declining economic prospects, plummeting "happiness" particularly amongst youth, and fleeing capital while regulated industries (media/telecom/banking) are weaponized against any who speak out. The solution: opt-outism or sovereign individualism and maybe why so many prominent members of our community come from this country.
