That one last desperate hand clutching just left of center
But comes to her own conclusions and is jaded about the legal system
As far as it goes man that's better than most of the chicks I meet especially at my little brothers school
That's better than most of the people I've met her age lol
You generally either get apolitical or left
That's true I got in trouble at work for calling out a customer on some BS about comey
Yeah you gotta learn to pick those battles lol
Like I explained the gun debate to my grandfather but didn't bother trying to correct my aunt
Yeah especially since I'm in a more left leaning part of arizona
Despite both of them using the same media-fed arguments
That's kinda tricky isn't it
Some people just ain't willing to hear it
And it's not like my grandfather flipped on it either, but at least he's making better arguments
I dont require agreement, just facts
One of my older brothers is that way with social programs
I think there's a basis for some of them, tbh, it's just a question of whether you figure people can come about creating them organically
Mental health and childcare being two major ones
And two that the government frequently fucks up as well
My biggest issue is Food Stamps
My biggest issue is government monopolies beyond the absolute necessities
Our provincial Auto Insurance company was found scamming people. Our transit company has gone bankrupt and is now trying to sell shitty merchandise. Our hospitals are stuffed full of people and the funding for medicare is going to run out if they don't fix shit (and they likely won't)
No ignore the problem and maybe it'll go away that's there strategy
The funny thing is the problem *is* about something going away
Boomer pop is going to ream our social programs as they leave the workforce
Which is probably why they've been pushing immigration
Jokes on then though because we get a metric fuckton of foreign buyers who make it too expensive to live here, and they don't live and work here themselves
The influx of migrants is what is being to do our welfare system in
Ours is the other way, not enough coming in to balance the books
And not enough babies being birthed
That whole having a family is a patriarchal construct shit?
Oh there's definitely a lot of commies here yeah
But I think there's more career women who never made the time/didn't want kids
Or people who have decided it's too financially/environmentally/whatever-irresponsible to reproduce
And there's a lot of that shitting on motherhood nonsense
I'm in the same over population school of thought
I dunno how bad matt's experience on dating sites was, but there's a lot of casual dating/tinder tier hookup people and polyamorous couples and shit
We're not overpopulated in Canada by any stretch
There is actually a lot of that in the military
And I'd say the same is true of the states tbh
The US wastes a lot of resources because they're not worth the cost of exporting and there's nobody to use them within the country
