  • would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.

    If this is the best example you can come up with, it is fairly unconvincing that any mainstream political will be restricted.
















  • What do you mean? Declarations such as “Health Canada recognizes the importance of meaningful engagement and ongoing dialogue with Indigenous peoples to support culturally safe implementation of MAID.” and “incarcerated persons should have the same access to healthcare, including MAID, as those living in the community” are completely normal and not at all alarming coming from the parliament.

    I’m morbidly curious as to how far Canada will push euthanasia as a total percentage of all deaths. 10%? 20%? 30? I think 10% will be easily surpassed considering the rising trend and the aggressive expansionary plans of the Canadian government. I don’t like making Nazi comparison since it’s overdone, but the whole document reads like a Nazi committee note coated in inclusive language.

    The entire document is just talking about how to expand and expedite the process so that physically disabled people, mentally disabled people, LGBTQ, ill children, indigenous people, people with dementia, impoverished people, and incarcerated individuals (all specifically mentioned in the document) have quick access to MAID. For example, allowing people to pre-sign their deaths before dementia since they might have trouble consenting after they have dementia.

    The list looks pretty familiar except Jewish people and communists aren’t mentioned yet.









  • So you are deliberately ignoring your previous point about how the main business cost and therefore the reason for the high prices in Hawaii is due to higher wages for American sailors. It’s curious how you weren’t actually arguing in good faith then.

    You do realize that America as a country can simply change its regulation to stipulate equal pay and treatment for foreign crew members who dock in American ports or are employed by American companies, right? You are arguing that Americans and American companies are allowed to treat foreign workers under horrible conditions, so it is labor solidarity to employ only American workers. Do you see how deranged that sounds when we get down to the meat of it?



  • Your bad guy, good guy view of the world is myopic.

    American labor vs International labor is a false dialectic that is used to pit working class against each other by the capital. You do realize that right? How is the Jones Act about the workers as you state when it doesn’t stipulate better working conditions, better pay, or ownership in the business itself? I don’t think you’re seriously arguing that the main reason for the price gouging that is happening in Hawaii is due to higher pay for American crew members, so I’ll ignore that.

    In general, Marxists are internationalists and we don’t care about protecting American workers over other workers. I would be a syndicalist if I argued for the supremacy of the union.
