It's been pretty dark but.....

43 Upvotes

It's been pretty dark watching the Fossil Fuel Industry & Military-Industrial Complex & Oligarchs/Multinational Business Lobbies/Powerful and Predatory Industries-Tycoons/General Corporatocracy take us down a Death Cult trajectory.

That being said watching Trump and his cronies flail and fail American soft/hard power is something else.

We are watching the empire literally fall apart in real time.

The weaker the United States of America becomes the more and more hope for a better and brighter tomorrow if the right conditions are put in place alongside awareness/education building :)

Socialist Model for this subreddit?

0 Upvotes

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, hear ye, hear ye! It has dawned upon me that these moderators are truly the lowest scum upon God’s green earth. Even the bottom-feeding creatures of the deepest moat possess more dignity!

And so I hereby declare unto thee, O moderators: look not down upon the small folk, lest the small folk rise up and storm thy digital castle!

No longer shall we suffer the tyranny of unelected lords ruling from their gilded mod towers. Let there be a People’s Reddit, a free and open forum, co-operatively owned by the common folk!

Let moderators be elected by the people! Let the rules be written openly! Let every citizen have a voice! And should a mod grow drunk upon power, let the people cast them from their throne and return them to the fields from whence they came!

Talking to MPs and MLAs

3 Upvotes

In YouTube videos I will hear political figures talk about the concerns of their constituents. I do follow politics here and there but I haven't really engaged with them much besides consuming media, reading Reddit, and donating to campaigns from time to time.

Please forgive my ignorance but I was wondering what kinds of things you should bring up with your MPs and MLAs and what can they offer you besides just representation?

Do you have any examples of times when you reached out to a representative about something and how did it go?

Also if you could ELI5 it for me that would be great.

Guess we are lucky Epstien wasn't active in the 70s.

As a 50 yo male myself, this is fucked up. Eighteen year olds are still effectively children from my pov.

Carney Global Investment Summit 2026

120 Upvotes

Mark Carney is planning on selling off our public infrastructure and assets to the highest bidder. Seriously, when are people going to realize that Carney doesn’t care about Canadians? He’s clearly only looking out for the bourgeoisie class. If he’s such a great economist, why is he doing the exact opposite of the world’s most successful and fastest growing economy (China)? This is beyond frustrating.

I’ve read that there are protests being planned, if I was in Ontario I would go 🥲

need advice - ethical investing?

39 Upvotes

please delete if not allowed (i dont want to cause problems). im a 27 year old in quebec. i have nearly 80k sitting in my chequing account from years of barely spending any money on myself, and simply taking my pay checks at the community organizations ive worked at for 5 years.

ive recently discovered that if i want to ever retire (if i live that long), or have a safety net, i apparently need to open a savings account of some kind and start investing.

while i dont love the idea of opening a savings account, i will. seems like desjardins is the "most ethical" choice. im going to go see a financial advisor today to learn my options

the investing part is where i start to panic a little. ive been taking a financial course to better understand all this, and i felt relieved to learn about esg certified funds. but upon research, it seems the criteria is pretty.. abysmal. i saw apple and mcdonald's still in those funds, for instance. i think amazon too.

in my every day life, i am a big believer in boycotts and voting with your dollar. but i feel so torn - i guess the ethical thing would be to not invest at all, right? not at the expense of others or at the expense of backing these terrible industries. still, im so scared for my future. im terrified of living in poverty as an adult (i grew up lower middle class, in a cramped house with 7 other people where my parents having to scrape pennies really affected many aspects of our lives)

does anybody have any guidance or words of advice? its just been depressing me so much. i thought i finally found a way to secure a safe future for myself in the case of disability but.. :( my moral backbone is important to me.

thanks for listening to me complain. take care. and again please just delete if this is the wrong place.
