  • an anti-establishment, working class perspective

    It’s interesting to see the proliferation of these “anti-imperialist” propaganda mills seemingly imitating the successful model of grift made famous by the alt right. They’ve nothing to say about socialism, but spend all their energy on emotional appeals to get people focusing on how bad the bad guys are based on the most attention-grabbing news headlines they can find or invent. It’s so carefully designed to provoke dissent, distrust, and polarization with only the barest pretense of being about anything more substantial or constructive.

    This one doesn’t have much to do with Canada. Even those of us who aren’t professional military analysts should probably find better sources to inform our opinions on the martial capabilities of different kinds of ridiculously expensive airplanes.














  • As wikipedia puts it: “The assassination failed to achieve its immediate objective of restoring the Republic’s institutions. Instead, it precipitated Caesar’s posthumous deification, triggered the Liberators’ civil war (43–42 BC) between his supporters and the conspirators, and contributed to the collapse of the Republic. These events ultimately culminated in the rise of the Roman Empire under Augustus, marking the beginning of the Principate era.”

    If that day says anything about the end of tyrants, it’s that murdering one can sometimes be futile and counterproductive.
