Because Canadians want to strip themselves of their own rights&collective power? Otherwise they would have physically removed these politicians.
Violence is not the answer... until it is.
Violence is the language of the state.
If Canadians understood this, they’d be properly communicating their demands, instead of facing the boot.
Real power doesn't exchange hands at the ballot box. And to think it does is the most laughable a notion. But much investment goes into conditioning (a nicer word than brainwashing) people to subscribe to it.
Some contrarians take this too far and use the framing "Democracy is a lie". But the reality is, it's not necessarily a lie, but rather, it's just largely inconsequential when the brokenness exists at a higher level (the modern nation state itself, its establishment, and both their interconnections with inter and extra national powers). In that reality, the voting process is not a tool for the masses, but rather a tool to distract and contain them.
Consulting people, via voting or any other method, is still desirable of course, but only after that brokenness is taken care of.
The illusion of choice
Corporate funding, lobbying
Oh yes Canada, please, I can't wait to get my bank account hacked and all my money stolen and suddenly have two mortgages and have zero recourse because officially I did it myself because the legal encryption backdoor that nobody could ever open was hacked and opened less than 24 hours after rollout of this bullshit
Lol. Windscribe and Signal are both like the shittiest-yet-somewhat-popular solutions to their perspective problems
what makes you say that about signal?
Phone number and evil binary blob requirements
What would for you be a secure messenger that is 100% anonymous, and is not about to fold (hello session, it was nice while it lasted)
SimpleX is p good
