The Left and Right wings in Politics
QuebecOverCanada replied to eyeball's topic in Political Philosophy
The killing of George Floyd last month while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers has set off a wave of protests and dialogue on racial injustice that has continued unabated for weeks. And many corporations, big and small, have joined the conversation, issuing statements vowing to stand with the Black Lives Matter movement. Some tech behemoths -- like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and others -- have followed up on their supportive words with major donation pledges, too. Other companies have yet to put their money where their mouth is. Technology companies Many of the large tech companies in the US have donated substantial sums to the cause. Google has committed $12 million, while both Facebook and Amazon are donating $10 million to various groups that fight against racial injustice. Apple is pledging a whopping $100 million for a new Racial Equity and Justice Initiative that will "challenge the systemic barriers to opportunity and dignity that exist for communities of color, and particularly for the black community," according to Apple CEO Tim Cook. Check out CNET's guide to learn more about how tech companies are supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Walmart Walmart announced that it will contribute $100 million over five years to create a new center for racial equity. In an email to Walmart employees, CEO Doug McMillan said the center "will seek to advance economic opportunity and healthier living, including issues surrounding the social determinants of health, strengthening workforce development and related educational systems, and support criminal justice reform with an emphasis on examining barriers to opportunity faced by those exiting the system." Target Target announced a $10 million commitment in an effort to advance social justice through supporting partners like the National Urban League and the African American Leadership Forum. The brand also committed 10,000 hours of pro-bono consulting for small business in the Twin Cities that are black-owned or owned by people of color. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/companies-donating-black-lives-matter/ -
The Left and Right wings in Politics
QuebecOverCanada replied to eyeball's topic in Political Philosophy
What I find funny with your take is that you think all things stay the same all throughout History. So for instance, you think that Leftists don't cling to power and want wealth redistribution, yet the most unequal States in America at least are the liberal ones. Here is a take from the New York Times; Also, median household income is much higher for the 'side of the poor' that are represented in your presentation of the Left which is very wrong; 'Today, the $61,000 median income of blue districts substantially exceeds the $53,000 median income of red ones, reversing the order from 2008. The average gross domestic product for Democratic districts, near parity with Republican ones in 2008, has grown 50% higher. Output per worker has followed the same pattern.' https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/19/economic-divide-in-the-us-is-becoming-as-stark-as-its-politics.html -
Conspiracy Misinformation Tactics

The best promotion for alternative media or alternative narratives is the constant lying and gaslighting emanating from the MSM and politicians since ever. -

It's true. I base all my political opinions on 'if' scenarios in my head rather than what actual facts are, because it is really convenient. -

That's not true. That was Pearl Harbor and 9/11 reenacted before our eyes. She agrees with me. What a courageous woman, she survived something comparable to those tragic historical events. Courageous is not a word I use lightly, only to exceptional people who demonstrate something that likens to this kind of perseverance through tough challenges life may give us. We may all remember January 6 of 2021. It reminds me of Hillary Clinton who was almost shot when going to Bosnia in the 1990s. Very brave. -

Literally 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. An attack to our democracy. I am literally shaking. Do you agree? -
Hillary Clinton for President?

She also is a war survivor in Bosnia. It was noted in her so successful 2008 run against Barack Obama. -

My favorite take to this day comes from the New York Post: Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump 2024 — yep, life has become a horror movie https://nypost.com/2022/01/12/hillary-clinton-vs-donald-trump-2024-yep-life-has-become-a-horror-movie/ -
The CAQ, which is the party that reigns with an iron fist on Quebec with draconian, baseless laws to 'fight COVID', is beginning to lose voters. A first since 2 years. All the gains are made by parties who are anti measures or anti curfew, while the Liberal Party of Quebec which is as vicious as the CAQ stalls. The curfew, the draconian measures simply are not supported anymore by any age group except the older folks who don't care about the youth, such as the Baby Boomers. https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2022/01/13/sondage-recul-important-des-appuis-de-la-caq

Plus, the smallpox vaccine can't be administered to the population below 18 years of age, despite the mortality rate of smallpox. I quote the government of Canada; Contraindications and precautions Persons less than 18 years of age. Smallpox vaccination is contraindicated for children and adolescents because they are more likely to suffer from adverse reactions and cause inadvertent self-reinoculation and inoculation of others. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/healthy-living/canadian-immunization-guide-part-4-active-vaccines/page-21-smallpox-vaccine.html

1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes and it wasn't always a good idea. 4. Some objections about the administration of vaccines repeat throughout History because many objections to vaccines are legitimate, such as the side effects on substracts of the population that may lead to death. 5. Yes 6. Yes 7. What is the point that I missed?

There are sources in this thread, look, I don't care about you and what you write anymore, I don't respect any bit of you. You are not honest and I will not waste time with a bootlicker or someone paid to troll on the Internet, or worse, a free slut for the DNC that willingly sucks for absolutely no monetary gains. You are a slave or either a provocateur, and I would gladly spit on you and everything you like.

The European Union, not quite the basement-dwelling anti-vaxer portrayed by CBC, warns about loss in effectiveness of the immune system of those who get boosters for COVID-19 vaccines. --- European Union regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible. Repeat booster doses every four months could eventually weaken the immune response and tire out people, according to the European Medicines Agency. Instead, countries should leave more time between booster programs and tie them to the onset of the cold season in each hemisphere, following the blueprint set out by influenza vaccination strategies, the agency said. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-11/repeat-booster-shots-risk-overloading-immune-system-ema-says

Variola vaccines are not given to anyone, as they have side effects that are well documented. Vaccines are not a one-size-fits-all solution, it has to be carefully administered in a population that has a potential of contracting and dying of the disease, and it must be administered to people who will not suffer side effects for too long. Contraindications exist to every treatments in the book.
