part of the reason is alberta seats entirely on treaty territory, so it doesn’t get to leave without a say from Indigenous peoples (at least in theory, in practice we know too well that canada wipes its ass with treaties)

and the new alberta would’ve certainly been a strongly reactionary state, so it’s important to stand in solidarity with albertan leftists and oppose its creation

same reasons most leftists oppose quebec independence

my point is that the narrative is being used to justify war with Iran: “we need to attack them harder before they get their revenge!”

by talking about “Iranian terrorists” as if that’s an actual threat, the media is contributing to that justification for war

ah, so the liberal media has already fully accepted the “Iranian terrorists are coming to kill us all!!!” narrative, huh

tbh, the real reason to use paper straws instead of plastic is that they’re much more biodegradable, not so much the CO2 use. we should use way less plastic in general, imo

and it bears mentioning that the CO2 released by private jets still pales in comparison to what the airline industry produces; the average global northerner’s overseas holiday is still very destructive for the environment (tho obviously not as much as a rich fuck using a private jet)

according to this wiki article, over its lifetime a plastic straw will release 1,46 grams of CO2, while a paper straw will release 1,38 grams of CO2. that’s a saving of 0,08 grams.

and according to this article, a private jet releases 4,9 kilograms of CO2 per mile.

so: assuming you are using one straw per day, a year of using paper straws instead of plastic straws offsets about 0,006 miles of one private jet, or a bit more than 10 meters.

that’s fun.

yes, this is what will happen, but don’t delude yourself into thinking this is new

what you describe has been the reality of agriculture (and other industries) for a while now, and not just in the US, it’s this way in canada too for example

what “slavery is allowed if the enslaved person is a prisoner” does to you

because it’s not about being “pro-life”, it’s about controlling women’s bodies

because they’re trying to manufacture consent for a war with Iran

you have it backwards, israel is an american puppet; not the other way around

still works tho, why would america restrain its imperialist genocidal outpost? creating chaos in the Middle East is its raison d’être

what they really believe: guns are necessary for people to fight back against the government murder minorities

what kind of country are you creating

one that doesn’t take away the rights of her people

if you want so bad to live in a “civilized” country where Indigenous people don’t bother you with their existence, go back to england you fucking colonizer

the thing with microsoft is that they went on a buying spree not too long ago so they own a bunch of studios now

bethesda? activision? blizzard? mojang? double fine? those are all microsoft now.

if you want to boycott microsoft gaming, as is asked by the BDS movement, you must boycott all that they own and publish. that’s not just halo and forza, it’s also the recent oblivion remaster, psychonauts 2, minecraft, the ori games, doom…

tho, of course, you can just pirate them

i mean, i’ve seen maaaaany posts about oblivion remastered (made by bethesda, who is owned by microsoft)

as for ubisoft, yea, no one likes them, but ive seen very few people say they don’t like them because of the sexual assault cover up. for most people, it’s because of their bad games or their delisting of games (which are very good reasons to hate them, of course, but i still wish people talked more about the SA, it’s still a rampant problem…)

idk if you’re joking, but bill gates hasn’t been involved with MS for a while now

this is not about him, it’s about microsoft developing AI and cloud services for the israeli military

my pleasure! 🧡

part of the reason i made this meme was to spread awareness, im glad i could reach at least one person.

i think they’re conflating anarchists with “anarcho”-capitalists
