My uncle's an old school lefty in Quebec, and he was saying last time he visited that the new kids keep trying to inject socjus
while the old guard is super done with their shit, if they arent pandering for political survival
Going to be sending off an e-mail to Matt tomorrow, basically not enough politicians are using the great resource which is the internet properly
true
Too many ads target dying markets like facebook
I can't remember when I last used it
to be fair, that's still heavy normiesphere
but yeah if you want the disillusioned youth vote (which is what the PPC desperately needs) you wanna target online spaces in a different way
Mad Max was a good meme
Normiesphere is what community talks are for and door knocking
Mad Max talking to Dave Rubin was a very smart move
just hard to get Leafs to get hype about anything
It's why I know I will connect well. I joined because I am sick of clown world and I don't think I have the right to complain if I don't at least try and do something
At least if I lost I know I put my foot down and said no more
thats because you dont actually believe in absurdism my dude
either that or you're on the Kierkegaard end
I believe that people can and will be absurd if allowed to be
"People will only do what they are allowed to get away with"
Absurdism is what the clown world meme refers to, which is the notion that rather than being based on predictable systems, the fact of the matter is that reality is simply absurd
Kierkegaard figured the solution was, to my knowledge, religious hierarchy. What people are latching onto is the Camus view, which is that you have to embrace the absurd
the idea being that the attempt to apply meaning or systems to absurdity puts you atn odds with reality. The issue with this is that rolling with the absurdity is arguably what got us into this mess
sure, and Id say people do dumb things in predictable ways
Which means reality isn't absurd as much as the corrective action(s) have not been taken
that's actually a sizeable chunk of psychological research
¿Why is vc quiet?
Call in show is wednesday.
Well it is pretty late
Also that
Or do you guys usually talk regardless?
I'm listening to the show and doing work on my home network, specifically the fuckaround server
Sorry, I meant the "not trying to get on the show" vc's...
Well, hopefully you all have a good night. I have a lot to plan
Good stuff, and again, good luck with that. Maritimes have been getting the short end of the stick for too long. Give em hell
if tuition is free, what do you need Pell grants for?
the tuition thing is dumb because the issue isnt that college is needed
the issue is that people are basically overeducated for most jobs and in debt, but the jobs theyd want are "full"
because nobody wants to go into trades
Yes
or tech even
people go into tech and then stay in the city
