    I will preface this saying that I respect Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, I would gladly vote for him in my riding.

    Though it sounds like you’re concerned about the lower amounts of repairability in evs, the loss of manufacturing to Chinese automotive companies and tankies and fascists misleading the Canadian public. All are valid concerns.

    However I think you’re mistaken as the horse-theory does not apply in every context, Ireland has as many as 9 political parties and is functioning as a state fairly well. Also I have accounts on Fedia, infosec and Lemmy.cafe. I’m pretty much strongly anti-tankie.

      I know. I just don’t like the anti lib rhetoric.

      It probably has more to do with my situation and survival. My fam is lib-Right -ish. I’m lib Left. To me, liberal is “liberty for individuals.” Fuck businesses. Those are not people. Those have no rights. Killing them is an honorable pastime. Like you have a right to an upper middle class life in relative freedom. Beyond that, fuck off, you have no more rights and only a weight of crushing responsibility.
