While I am sure there are real, specific reasons that can be pointed to as "the reason," the real answer is that you can't put two narcissists in a room together and tell them they're on the same team. This always was the only possible outcome.

It just makes me sad that you seem to believe the things you say.

C'mon man, we've been through this song and dance. You are perpetuating lies that have been fed to you by people who realized that it's easier to stoke fear than build unity. Just because you believe it doesn't mean it is anything but misinformation.

I know I tore into you earlier, but watching you continue to lick the boots of the people who are hurting you is just sad.

pride and propaganda and such makes it hard for people who don't understand the sunk cost fallacy to change course.

I mean, I know conservatism is nothing but a series of projections, but this is just impressive. I really don't think I could have said it better myself.

Sure, but if they said that aloud instead of continuing to deflect, they'd basically lose their whole identity.

Don't get me wrong, the gap is huge, but this graph is designed to misrepresent the information.

The scale starts at 45% and tops out at 60%. Even the bottom of the scale is only JUST below half, and the top is only 10% above it. The midway point is not the 50% mark, which one would expect to be the case for a graph showing percentages. So that low point is not the low point the graph insinuates, and the gap is only 15%, not the like 95% differential the graph insinuated until you start looking more closely.

The message is ultimately factual, but misrepresenting data to misrepresent vibes is still misinformation.

Ruined the place for people like you, maybe. An act I can be quite proud of.

I just straight won't engage with video-only news.

Weirdly, I know for a fact I've upvoted a number of posts today, but my search on this ONLY shows my downvotes?

I definitely down vote more than I upvote, though. It's habitual to think "that is fucked up and really shouldn't be here," but a lot less habitual to hit an up on every mildly neutral to positive comment that, tbh, deserves it. It's eye opening to have all my downvotes laid out in front of me. Though still weird that the ups I know for certain exist aren't showing.

Of COURSE the Canada section is overwhelmingly Alberta.

God fucking dammit. I hope this is fake, but I'm afraid it is not.

As an aside, please tell me you passed forum access to law enforcement.

Corporations should be allowed to lie and abuse people who aren't knowledgeable or practiced enough to avoid it, because they deserve it?THAT'S your take?

You know, I knew I recognized that name from somewhere. You're that one who was trolling around here pre-election spreading misinformation that I got into an argument about over your completely insane perspective on the Liberals destroying Canadian identity. I'm glad I get to share a message with you post election, so I can point, proudly, to the way Canada happily rallied together under a Liberal banner, sporting a national togetherness that we certainly haven't seen since the selfish, Conservative nutjobs started doing their damnedest to sow division and tear us apart to their benefit before and through the Covid era. I'm not shocked that, in the brief 5 minutes I gave your account to figure out why I recall your name, I saw a majority of your posts filled with vitriol and hatred, while you continuously deny objective reality and dismiss everyone who disagrees with you as being intellectually stunted. Losing the election and watching Canadian's rally together must really be shaking your world view, and since the only real responses are to adapt and grow, or lash out and blame the world, it really is no wonder you're here, spreading hate.

Your completely ethically bankrupt and sociopathic take on the topic at hand here doesn't even deserve a response, but I'm giving you one for the satisfaction of myself and everyone who works to make this world a better place while people with your perspective justify abusive practices and beliefs: fuck you. You should be embarrassed just thinking it, let alone typing it out. Get off social media, stop treating the people you interact with like garbage - if your posts here are any indication of how you speak to people, you are a truly reprehensible piece of shit - get out of your hate-filled bubble, and at least try to experience the world from a perspective other than the one that bred this abhorrent, inexcusable take. Or, just fuck off.

So "gullible and foolish people" deserve to be abused by corporate interests? We aren't supposed to build a world that benefits everyone, regardless of how "gullible and foolish" they are?

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 22 points 4 weeks ago

It doesn't.
