I started watching this guy and at first I thought he had some good points.

But then I realized that he makes a lot of points but basically doesn't give any evidence for them, and occasionally using straw-mans etc. I feel like you need to be quite nuanced when actually providing good political commentary, but this guy doesn't do that.

The first time I saw and heard about this guy, it was from a YouTube video of him cosplaying a lunch date with Justin Trudeau. This was somewhere in 2020 or 2021 after the initial covid lockdowns.

This was a adult. Recording himself on a lunch date with person who wasn't even there. I can draw some pretty crude assumptions from that action alone. But I won't. He's not worth the time or attention.

People like him are all words with no action. They are losers. Losers do not deserve the attention they demand from everyone else. Take away their speaker and microphone and let them die in obscurity.

Doug Ford better not become prime minister.

We better be on the alert as he found his way around one of the most progressive provinces in the country.

Pierre Poilievre is too extremist as the conservatives need to move to the centre.

The liberals should become the conservatives, NDP the liberals and the greens could become the left.

Sounds like what happened in BC.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

That's silly.

Pierre is a hapless doofus but if everyone keeps moving towards "the centre" politics will collapse into a black hole.

Everyone can relax. Polievre will enjoy a $20,000 per month for life pension at taxpayers expense, unless he waives the pension and gets a real job.

Lol could you imagine Temu Milhouse donning a pair of work boots?

Considering their platform is big on making people work past 65, maybe he should lead by example for once and work himself to the grave at a shit job. And absolutely no MAID for him if he gets terminally ill or horribly incapacitated along the way - he must work and suffer until his body naturally quits.
