Kenney knows his policies will create hardship, suffering and even deaths. He’s not incompetent or stupid. He’s an extremist ideologue.
He does not believe or value public funds being spent on the public.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 It has nothing to do with stubbornness. Nothing to do with delusion. He knows exactly what he is doing and why.
He’s attempting to drain the treasury while in office. Stealing. Embezzling. Transferring wealth he believes belongs to those who own the means of production.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 His belief system includes the understanding that taxes are theft from the government and involuntary force applied to support policies and programs that benefit the public.
Which is why he is also proposing full privatization of all social services.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 In his mind, every member of the public has been robbing the true owners of capital of their profits. Thus, the attack on doctors, nurses, teachers and all public servants. He believes he is merely returning I’ll gotten goods to the rightful owners. The wealthy and corporations.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 When you understand his values and belief system, his behaviour, decisions and policies make sense. He’s a fascist.
Fascism is when corporations and the state work for mutual benefit. At the expense of the public and labour force.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 Kenney and UCP do not have the interests of the public anywhere in their list of priorities. They intend to collapse the system and rob Alberta blind. And leave Albertans destitute and weakened.
@BarbLarochelle@patriciaannmcd2 It’s called Paleolibertarianism and the economic tools they are employing are called anarcho-capitalism.
Anarchy being a key concept.
If there is no government, no one can stop them from taking what they want.
FDR was judged harshly when he shut down banks immediately after being elected.
In fact most of the sentiments being expressed now are not new. Similar sentiments were echoed across the US and Canada against FDR and Hoover & R.J. Bennett and Mackenzie King.
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes and right now it’s rhyming.
Past fascists didn’t have modern technology, but they did have memes and political cartoons.
However, this incident does indicate PMMC may require the assistance of professional comms team to emphasize what he is saying. I’m not a professional comms expert, but I can read bureaucratic speak. And that’s what this post is; clear concise bureaucratic language.
PMMC probably believes it is difficult to misinterpret. But there is a major discrediting campaign being conducted against him. And I don’t believe he has much experience with this level of disinformation.
So he requires an experienced professional counter propagandist’s help.
As an unrecognized Métis indigenous person, it has been my burden to endure discrimination and oppression by the mainstream white community as well as First Nations.
This is a burden of which most Canadians remain ignorant. But I’m going to set that straight, now!
I’m Métis. I’m not white and I’m not First Nations. I’m something in between. Métis have their own culture. It is not exactly like First Nations and is made up of elements of both sides of our ancestors. Not just the FN side.
In Canada, it’s FN and the Inuit who have suffered the most oppression. Their way of life was targeted for elimination. But so too were the Métis. Just in different ways.
Inuit & FN were oppressed thru apartheid type communities that treated people like second class citizens.
A very difficult question to answer. Not because it’s complicated. It’s not. It’s rather simple.
But most people aren’t aware of these issues because the far right and radical left work so hard to distract from actual issues and agreed upon solutions. @Vanessa_Sarges
@sqirlgirly I don’t care how devastated Americans are feeling right now.
I’m enraged that so many are sorry now that the evil has been unleashed. But they had a viable alternative that 90 million chose to stay home and not elect.
They weren’t bothered to help themselves.
@sqirlgirly Now that Canada is under threat of losing sovereignty from a madman and a large number of American Nazis and white supremacists who were cited into power by masquerading as Christians, they want absolution.
Fuck that.
@sqirlgirly They couldn’t be bothered to think of anyone but themselves and their “cost of living” worries when it mattered.
Why should Canadians forgive those who recognize now what has been unleashed? No.
