    That’s bullshit. My friend is a wonderful person who hasn’t actually voted for a Conservative government in over a decade. “Sheer was a joke. Pollievre is a clown.” Are his exact words. He wants more military spending for the Canadian forces where he served for years, and he’s highly skeptical of higher taxes, convinced that rich people will always find a way to weasel out. He’s against minimum wage hikes because “the corporations will just raise prices”. Because of these reasons, he identifies as Conservative, albeit one who votes Liberal because the CPC is a joke. He’s right of me but thats where most people are.

    This is a man who, is bi himself and strongly supports LGBTQ rights, and went no contact with his own brother because his coke-addled brother wouldn’t stop spouting racist shit.

    Stop with bullshit “everyone to my right is Nazi” stuff. You don’t know anything and it helps no one.

    Hi! Nothing in your short post was offensive or stupid so I apologize for the wall of text I’m going to dump on you. And I’ll caveat what I’m about to say with “People find ways to be clever in all kinds of situations, so you’re even kind of right.” But…

    I’m going to take a stand, on a very subjective topic, and say loudly; No, Trolling is not an art form. I hate this fucking take. Trolling takes all kinds of forms but its unifying element is to make other people ‘upset’. Sometimes mad. Sometimes sad. Sometimes confused. Sometimes depressed. You know what else does that? Existing at all in this fucking ghastly, unjust, terrible world. People start pissed off, and Trolls dog pile on and take credit. Trolling is art in the same way painting a freshly painted white wall in more white is fucking art- you accomplished fuck all.

    Being kind is fucking art. More than art it’s fucking design, and craft and construction. Making someone happy. Hopeful. Joyous. Inspired. That takes fucking art. It takes hard work, sometimes sacrifice, and always intellect. And you have to do it in direct defiance of the whole fucking world.
