First of all, inflation. Standard dogma, that I'm not necessarily inclined to disagree with, is that it should be targeted around 2% per year. In order to control inflation, the central bank has to create money commensurate with the desired inflation. It does this by handing out loans at the federal interest rate to banks and corporations. If inflation is too low, the central bank lowers the interest rate spurring banks and corporations to take new loans and increase the money supply.
Now, think about it. If we have say $100 in circulation then adding $2 into the circulation will decrease the buying power of the dollar by 2%, as expected. But who gets this $2? If you hand out that $2 proportionally to all people holding cash, then nothing changes. If I have $50 and you have $50, then giving each of us $1 doesn't change our buying power at all. If the $2 is handed to me and nothing to you, then my buying power has increased by 2% while yours has fallen by 2%.
How does it magically appear into circulation? The answer is it doesn't magically appear, banks and corporations are gifted that money as low-interest rate loans. So banks and corporations are receiving the $2, while everyone else is receiving nothing. Banks and corporations gain buying power, while the average citizen loses buying power. Lowering interest rates just mean that the rich can take out cheaper and cheaper loans, that's why you see interest rates lowering unilaterally across western countries.
Sometimes you're lucky and a bank will cut you some slack. They'll give you a mortgage at 3% or something so you can get a cut into the loan scheme. But they're still making money. The bank is borrowing that at like 2% and then giving it to you at 3%. The game is rigged.
This is why I am honestly in support of UBI. Not the ridiculous sort of UBI that is often proposed of like $2000/month, but like $150/month. This UBI would exist solely to create the desired rate of inflation. The intention would be to stop handing out money to banks and corporations but to hand it out to people instead. $2000/month would result in hyperinflation and/or absurd rates of taxation. $150/month would be approximately enough (just a back of the envelope calculation) to support a 3% inflation. Decrease it to 0 or increase it as needed to support that inflation. The government would borrow from the central bank in place of banks and corporations, hand it out to citizens, and then collect via taxation to pay it back.
For those of you who might be opposed to this, this is literally already happening but the banks and corporations are the ones benefiting, not you. If you'd like an alternative to this, maybe a 0% inflation rate could be more palatable as no one would be getting handouts then, but good luck getting that past the vast majority of economists who support 2% inflation.
The reason I propose UBI is because it is more fair. At present there are two ways to handle inflation:
(a) basically gift money to banks and corporations via ridiculously low interest rate loans
(b) gift money to """disadvantaged groups""" like disabled people and natives via government handouts
(a) is always happening, (b) is pushed by leftists, but in both scenarios normal working class people lose out on their buying power. If you, as a normal person, want money you have to position yourself career-wise as close as you can to serving banks and corporations to get a cut on (a) or serving leftist pet projects by becoming a nurse or government worker to get a cut on (b). If you just want to do normal work without pandering to either of these overarching founts of money, you are shit out of luck and will continually have your buying power eroded.
So my proposal is to end gifts to banks, corporations, and leftist pet projects, and instead either embrace 0% inflation or use a low-valued UBI to reach the 2% inflation number. Anything else is playing favoritism.

Not sure exactly what caused it, usually once I'm past the "new user" filter I can post freely (until I'm banned that is) but my latest account is straight up shadowbanned, my comment didn't even appear if I look at it when logged out. I think /r/Canada and probably other subreddits are just gone at this point. I didn't even post anything offensive, just questioning the belief that margarine is healthier than butter.
Got a flyer in the mail for the Sport Chek "Winter Ready" clothing line... the front page consists of 2 black models, and the interior has literally only 1 white guy, the rest are asian, black, or mixed.
This youtube video basically covers it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHilxEiSg0k
Is this what white privilege feels like?
"Minorities" must be making a killing in the modelling business replacing white people.
Alright so we've all seen the videos of those Kovid Karens whining about their freedoms, to which the leftist doxmob simply responds with derision and attempts to get them fired (and presumably the police fine them or something). If you browse /r/Vancouver with any regularity, you will also know that homeless people there can get away with attacking randoms with hammers, raping, and stealing from stores, and the police will generally protect them if people retaliate. So Ms. Karen gets fines for not wearing a mask into a store, Mr. Homeless can literally steal from a store and the cops can't do shit.
Is the solution to just start being nothing-to-lose-pilled? Dress up like a homeless junkie and act crazy threatening if anyone tries to enforce the mask bullshit on you?
Browsing /r/kelowna, I found a post where people decry anti-mask protesters in the usual fashion of stating matter-of-factly that they are incorrect and applauding any movement by police to dismantle their protest.
But even worse, another thread regarding anti-abortion protests came up and wouldn't you know it, one of the top comments supports outright beating of anti-abortion protesters and dumping drinks on them. When pressed on the matter, they respond simply with the trite "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences".
So there you have it, these people want you beaten and killed simply for spreading your beliefs. Not that that is likely to be much of a surprise to many here. Just found the explicit support of literally beating a person on a college campus an especially harrowing example of modern Leftism.

The cops will not do anything to stop homeless people attacking and stealing. The government will fund the homeless people and give them free drugs.
You can bet you will be arrested if you defend yourself or, god forbid, solve the fucking problem and give these homeless people the bullet they so desperately need in their heads.
I having a daring hypothesis:
"Woke" is synonymous with "brain-addled via RF radiation"
Or, in another sense:
Wireless technology and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Around 2005-2010, the smartphone generation exploded. Beginning with the iPhone, internet connectivity and the idea of having wireless devices capable of high-speed WiFi and/or cellular data connections became prevalent and basically an expectation for everyday life by the end of the 2010's. Along with this, there has been a marked increase in a variety of mental illnesses and retarded-adjacent political discourse.
You're average Wokie is what many would call "terminally online", highly accepting of transgenderism, feminism, racism (against whites), sexism (against males), etc. The reason that being terminally online is associated with these beliefs, I posit, is because these beliefs are a direct effect of constant use of wireless devices such as cell phones and laptops, and generally being in the presence of a significant amount of RF radiation by living anywhere with high population density and technological development such as Western cities.
Everyone I know who is a tranny, is also figuratively glued to their cellphones. If someone indicates that they use Reddit, Twitter, or other online services frequently, this is a strong indicator that they believe progressive dogma. Indeed, I believe that the fact that someone uses a Reddit or Twitter app on their phone constantly literally causes them to become idiotic progressives by addling their brain.
Every person who frequently uses a cell phone or laptop will become a stupid progressive. Every job which requires usage of these devices will be captured by woke dogma.
How does this work? Your brain operates on subtle changes in electrical potentials which is the very process of thought. RF radiation stimulates the billions of neurons in your brain which act as mini antennae and to some degree scrambles the proper thought patterns and information association capabilities (this is my unsubstantiated belief). If looking for more evidence than intuitive reasons, some searching can show that RF signals can interact in negative ways with mitochondria and cell membrane proteins, causing a variety of deleterious effects such as autoimmune disorders or psychiatric issues.
Personally, while working at an office job, I had generalized depressive symptoms, frequently flirted with progressive political stances, and had near-constant nasal congestion and itchiness which I could not peg down to a specific allergy. The allergic response is the most obviously notable improvement that I can notice, although the others have also improved, because this symptom would become terrible whenever I was at work (surrounded by wireless devices), used my laptop at home (directly next to a router), or especially when I layed in bed with my phone inches from my face. Non-functional nasal passages, extremely itchy nose, and 10's of successive sneezes in a row. This has been consistent whenever I've used RF devices, or people around me use them. In the past weeks, I have cut out RF radiation from my life as much as is possible and noticed vast improvements in these symptoms, such that they have nearly disappeared. I've noticed that my father has developed similar symptoms since he began heavy use of a tablet at home, now having a recurrent itchy nose and suddenly anti-Trump political views. I'm loathe to present my thoughts on this matter until I am more certain in my own convictions however, since this type of reasoning often brands oneself as a literal tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist.
I'd like to implore the users of this forum to consider this framework when viewing the problems of leftism that we often complain about about today, since I believe it has some explanatory power, as well as to experiment with your own conditions to see if you're affected by this phenomenon.
TL;DR:
-
Symptoms of mental illness and stupid political rhetoric, on the left especially, have risen in line with the explosion of wireless technologies. I believe there is a causative effect here.
-
How idiotic and left-wing a forum is can be predicted by the likelihood that the user uses a wireless device to access it. Twitter especially, Reddit since the development of mobile apps, 4chan and win communities least affected.
-
How idiotic and left-wing a person is can be predicted by their degree of usage of wireless devices.
-
I'd prescribe personal avoidance of wireless technologies for your own well-being. I think a more generalized movement against wireless technologies is necessary for the future of mankind. I think the current move towards greater interconnectivity (eg. 5G, IoT) spells disaster for the human race.
-
This framework of belief explains many of the modern issues that we face.
And coincidentally turns transgender...
Apparently McNab changed their gender almost a year ago, makes a blog post about escaping insanity, and now has decided to give everyone an A+ in their ethics class for deposing a (potentially non-existent?) president of the university. Even better, McNab sends an email to the Queen highlighting this victory.
What's the chance that the university properly deals with this unmitigated disaster, given they can't call him mentally ill due to the issue of that correlating with transgenderism?
