  2. Yes. Let's face it, the system treats people like shit, and nobody in a position to do anything about it can be made to care, because there will always be somebody from an actual shit hole country to do the unskilled work, or who can be suckered out of their comfortable skilled worker enclave in a place like India for anything involving numbers or tech. Leaving IS the most logical choice.

  5. Isaac Asimov said what you had to say about Tolkien and the industrial revolution. It was also in the introduction to The Greening of England where the author describes similarities between LotR and The Making of the English Working Class by Hobsbawm.

  6. well one would need to have a Stalin step in, and bring the ruler down on the desks of the teachers, for a start

  7. Pierre Trudeau deserves to be remembered only as the Canadian Himmler for his role in the Sixties Scoop. He was a symptom of the beginnings of the death spiral of Canada as a nation, like shivering and coughing before the fever that kills the patient.

  9. ah Bill 63 will be fine. look at the timing of when they passed it, just before the Quebec antiJew antiMuslim law was due to clear a court challenge of having correctly violated their individual right to freedom of speech. Nobody outside of Quebec has to worry about it. Nobody inside of Quebec who didn't make an enemy of a Montreal mosque in a Liberal riding has to worry about it. It's a consolation prize for having been told to go fuck themselves on basic citizenship rights due to the complete absence of popular support for speech rights in Quebec.

  10. It's shot as a nation, but nonnational state entities do stumble along every bit as long as the Holy Roman Empire.

  11. Canada's a failed nation. Common civic values had been dying since the 1960s before Harper tore off the final veil in 2015. Trudeau was telling the truth when he said it was a postnational state.

  16.  @baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714  The Canadian passport is objectively better, though, and children born in Canada face a wait time of only one year for a green card. Canadian taxation for employees is harsh, but corporations have access to a wide range of tricks and programs.

  19.  @baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714  Green card's the American equivalent of a UK work permit. Canada has a fairly well developed black and gray market for labour,* so I don't even know what its equivalent document is. *goes from farmers and restauranteurs and brothel keepers keeping slaves-in-all-but-name - I live down the street from a rental property owned by a woman who had a slavery investigation opened against her due to the conditions in which she had been keeping some of her workers, and it is fairly well known that farmers and some developers will rip their guys off for wages without much compunction - and then you have guys getting raped by the 54% top marginal tax bracket working cash on the side. The NDP poison the discussion so much in their relentless thirst for blood that the whole system would implode if everybody had to be on the books.

  20.  @baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714  The pre 1960s settlement had been that there was a minimum floor of how bad conditions would get for Catholics as second class citizens. Post 1960s, that floor was extended as much as the special interests and practicality could afford this side of the Rideau. Equality only occurred in the 1990s under Premier Harris.

  24. I would not go that far. Enclaves have always been a feature, not a bug. When the Irish came in the 1840s, they had to introduce a police force to keep a lid on them. Canada's failure as a nation is more to do with secularization than immigration.

  25. To borrow Rud's terms, Starship Troopers is a mostly British Right system, with just enough elements of the German Right to prevent it from creating the conditions that will lead to its own collapse. Personally, I think Islamofascism with some elements borrowed from libertarianism would be more stable.

  26.  @caralho5237  Stalin inherited a left wing bureaucratic state and lead it to industrialization and victory in a major war. By modern standards, he is effectively a centrist.

  33. eh KJU apparently had ceased to enforce laws against the black market since the mid 2010s, motivated mostly by a desire to avoid another great famine. You can find footage on YouTube taken by mainlanders of North Koreans going to little bazaars and bodegas.

  35. mm I think there's something to be said for the J J McCullough scenario of an increasingly authoritarian Confederation. Consider geographically deterministic arguments for why Russian governments since Ivan the Terrible have privileged the secret police. If the evolved compromises encoded by MacDonald are eroded over time, Confederation is left in very much the same position as Russia, with long distances between population centers and significantly being composed of a belt of arable land squeezed against the subarctic fed off a linear transportation network. Even meme tier central governments can suppress secessionist movements given the willpower and international support. Look at Nigeria and Zaire in the last two fifths of the twentieth century.

  45. Ripping off the Dengist idea of Special Economic Zones, but making them Special Social Zones, might do it. The idea would be that these would then export immigrants - in effect as they would be parallel societies - to the mainstream. Migrant enclaves could accomplish the same thing, or populations with high birth rates who hold themselves deliberately parallel to the mainstream, ultra orthodox Jews, Amish, etc.

  46. On the not passing things on, that applies to some boomers, yes, but...I have known enough people who are truly set due to the public equity, real estate, and private equity stakes they are set to inherit from their older boomer relatives, whether they have more or less of a sense of ownership of the family account. I don't know that I would term this one of your weaker videos, but it is the one with which I have had the most major disagreements based on my own readings of events. Your video on the Eastern Tradition for instance basically just WAS the Eastern Tradition history department class from undergrad minus the translations. *I found your video in which you blamed the collapse of the foundry region of North America on the entrenchment of Catholics in the labour movement who came from cultures that did not understand the benefits of free exchange and therefore began to strangle prospects for future generations by undermining the economic fundamentals which had built the industry highly enlightening as it very much tracks with what I have noticed.

  47. You get some people like that who have a LOT of loyalty to their father's, uncle's, or grandfather's business, and are extremely conservative about their use of its resources, and you get others who look at it the less the way a farmer looks at a fruit tree than as a dog looks at a bag of kibble.
