You want more? This isn't about colonialism and imperialism, only about technology and Ukraine is it? Uh oh, Canada facilitated *that* conflict through its arms industry *too*.

| 7 days ago | mod | Removed Comment You know, you can do something you *need* to do while being aware of what would be a *bad* way to do it. You people are lying when you say this *specific* decision is necessary, and it shows. Or are you going to just admit that you did not even think critically about how the fucking people in charge of your life make decisions?
If they lower environmental and health protections to meet their trade goals, that is *you* and *I* living in the consequences. You people are fucking helpless. by orioler25 ( orioler25@lemmy.ca ) reason: Instance Rule #2: Be Civil |

Yup, you guys are acting about as normal as I expected. It is *so* strange how I get a much more gaslighty responses when Ukraine is a topic on this community; curious.

You people don't even fucking know what's going on, but you're sure happy it's goin on. *All* this admin has done since it has been elected is roll back environmental and health protections, funnel public wealth into private industry, and invest in world-destroying fossil fuel and mining extraction; all with dumbass libs cheering on the "sovereignty."
