The groundwork was laid by decades of budget-busting administrative bloat, turning most (upwards of 70% nationwide) teaching faculty into contractors with low pay and no benefits, and state cuts to higher ed.
This is bad, but most of those PhDs wouldn't have gotten tenure-track jobs anyway

History kinda glosses over that Hitler was a pedophile obsessed with his own niece Geli Raubal who he pretty much kept as a prisoner in his home until she took her own life, or for that matter how young Eva Braun was when they first met.
Nazis were always just like that it seems.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”
nobody had to get an Alice Munro tattoo covered up, unlike the poor Neil Gaiman fans.
every day i grow more grateful that i never succumbed to the millennial cultural zeitgeist around getting tattoos

I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!

Canadian public opinion about immigration: the most notable change over the past year is how immigration continues to grow as a polarized issue dividing Canadians across political party lines.
If people affiliated with the campaign have to fall back on stuff like this in October in the year prior to the election, you're toast, pack it in.

China routinely has protests where the government reverses itself, being an authoritarian state does not mean that the public is completely powerless
Tbh it’s interesting that people think that since China is authoritarian, its government can do whatever it wants no matter how unpopular. Like you see people saying they’ll be able to cut pensions because they’re authoritarian, but let’s remember how Covid Zero went for them lol

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society
also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.
