I fully agree and I honestly don’t know why people don’t vote. It seems hard to get people to give a shit.

I also think there are layers to it. For instance in more urban areas, there’s definite voter apathy and less vote per population. I met a person who has lived their entire life in Toronto and the only election they’ve ever voted in was the recent federal election because they didn’t want PP. And that person worked in provincial government! Like, you can’t be closer to the direct effects of whoever the premier is.

But an interesting viewpoint I read recently about rural areas and voting decisions is that they vote based on what party the majority will be to ensure that their rural area can get the support/funding it needs (i.e. some form of bias in the general function of government).

For instance if they voted for an NDP in the rural area, what’s the likelihood that the majority Conservative government would approve funding and legislation that they put forward? Or advocate for jobs and be heard because it becomes a party topic rather than an opposition topic who the majority have no interest in making them look good.

And the Liberal government that just set in place the Foreign Agents Registration law will probably look the other way or redact whatever intelligence documents they need to so they can skirt the law that they literally put in place.

Keeping in mind that this is the Beaverton, the most trusted news in Canada, CCS is just part of the green washing PR so liberals can get that warm fuzzy feeling inside like something is being done when practically things get much worse.

I think this part captures it pretty well

I just want there to be enough details about Arab countries who are not Palestine invading Israel or expelling Jewish residents to create the impression the situation is a complicated miasma of suffering

Arguably, it’s also very racist of people to even have that as a reason. Imagine a good chunk of Latin American countries did something to a minority group, then that minority group genocides Mexicans. Should I group all of the Latino/as together?

Not to mention that there is mention about the expelling at the exhibit, but we can’t get bogged down with details now, can we?!

And…?

We’re having some of the weirdest weather patterns that we’ve ever seen. Canada is the most susceptible to changes in the environment. Floods happening in the middle of summer, the coldest winter on record for many places, a few years ago the BC highway got swept away.

Fuck oil and it’s defenders. There’s no reason for progressive expansion of oil. It’ll still be needed but not in whatever bullshit amount is being advertised. It’s just shills in the industry that don’t want the well to dry up.

The context below every lie should be a standard of journalism. It’s excluded when there’s bias, it’s included when they want to show the truth.

Did you read the article? Who do you think trains the RCMP and US police in their heavy handed tactics?

I will add that if you want free streaming, then TorrentsDB works better than Torrentio.

But if you’re paying for a debrid service like Torbox, then it might be redundant to have TorrentsDB and it could clutter up your Stremio UI.

From some of the setups I’ve seen out there, people’s optimal method is to have AIOStreams add-on in Stremio, then configure AIOStreams with the Debrid Service and their chosen filters. It’s supposed to lead to a cleaner and more responsive Stremio UI.

Worth knowing that most of the immigration preceded the Holocaust, and Palestinians treated them as illegal immigrants (which they were), not as invaders.

Look, that same refugee trope founding myth is what north America used with the pilgrims, so it’s beneficial to deconstruct that. Because it is the same founding myth of Israel.

It’s also worth reading early writings from Zionists about the “type” of Jewish people the Zionists wanted for the new state. They basically believed that the refugees were too poor and of the wrong mentality - essentially tainting what they were trying to build. Literally a screening office was setup to allow or disallow certain types of Jews. Zionists only acquiesced because they needed more people to bolster their numbers and reasons for expansion

From the late 19th century through the 1950s, Zionist leaders adopted a selective immigration policy designed to exclude ‘undesirable’ Jews. The goal of the Zionist movement was to build a Jewish state in a Palestinian Arab land, and that required Jewish capitalists, skilled laborers, professionals and fighters, not children, elderly people or refugees. The Zionist leadership rejected persecuted, disabled, destitute, sick, diseased and elderly Jews because they were persecuted, disabled, destitute, sick, diseased and elderly. They instead prioritized what they called “halutzim,” or young, healthy Zionist ideologues willing to sacrifice their youth, capital, labor and life for the cause. This is the eugenist history of Zionism, in brief.

Oh! A piracy security clearance! Is that like a letter of marque?

Sorry, I also didn’t know I was responding to someone different in my prior comment and think we’re in agreement. There’s nothing inherently unique about Jewish ethno-nationalism.

Oh, those super threatening missiles that they’ve used on their bordering neighbor for the past 4 years and haven’t been able to do much?

Yeah…such a threat.

Xenophobia is hateful. Ethno-nationalism is xenophobic and about blood purity.

I disagree with your framing because it makes it seem like Zionism isn’t inherently hateful, just some people coopting the ideology are.

But the very founders and people that created the ideology were hateful, as a matter of fact.

You’re framing an ethno-supremacist ideology that was created at the same time that other very hateful ethno-supremacist ideologies were created and trying to say it isn’t inherently hateful.

That’s like saying Naziism wasn’t inherently hateful, but people coopted the ideology. They’re literally of the same cloth, friend.

When did we not have a serious person in charge? And what does “serious” mean? Because he seems serious about getting rid of privacy and right to strike.

You should probably read a few lines from Jabotinsky (a popular Zionist Nationalist). He uses blood and land tropes a lot.

Maybe I’m just not intrenched enough to hear the consensus pushback that I’m sure exists on the tabernacle level; and I do refrain from demanding an answer from Jewish people cuz I think that’s wrong. But its a 50/50 for who is willing to denounce zionism and who seems to have bought into the propaganda.

I think, unfortunately, that in Canada the ratio is more 70/30 with majority supporting Zionism, while the US is closer to 50/50.

Historically and preceding WW2, Jewish immigrants preferred going to the US - Canada had a nasty habit of turning Jews away (even during and after the holocaust). The existinf US Jewish population managed to grow and create a culture that was very separate from what Zionism started to build in the late 19th/early 20th century in Europe.

Because Canada’s Jewish population grew up with Zionist ideology being relevant to a great degree, the ratio is more skewed.

Like the other user said, anti-zionist Jewish voices in Canada are lacking in institutions and numbers especially in comparison to the US. They exist and need to be supported as well.

I’ve only used it as an add-on with Stremio tbh.

There are probably better options for self-hosting than it.

Torrentio has been restricted depending on the country that you’re VPN-ing from. Even without a debrid, just VPN, torrentio on stremio was rarely working.

Ended up using TorrentsDB, a torrentio alternative add-on that uses the same scraped data as torrentio but was more readily available.

I don’t know why you’re facing those issues with TorBox. I signed up with a VPN on and no issues. People tend to prefer TorBox specifically because they don’t care about your IP address and they accept multiple accesses to the same login. Are you using a bank card for payment?

Worst case, try signing up for TorBox from a public wifi or similar.

Also with TorBox, they’re pretty private already and you don’t necessarily have to use a VPN. But you still can if that’s what you want.
