    BC Conservatives, the party with a leader who’s on record saying that Climate Change is fake and because of such he got kicked out out of the BC Liberal party.

    He will burn the province to the ground if he wins, and that’s not metaphorically speaking.

    High of 36 here at my house the other day, this shit didn’t happen when I was growing up, and now it’s happening almost every year.

            The government owns everything? Wow, amazing. News to me. Care to show me how they own my house or my business? In fact, what do they own again? I can think of a few utilities and parts of the medical system, but they don’t have a lot of ownership outside of those.

            Yes governments determine who can live and die, that’s kind of their job. They implement safety regulations so people can live, and they don’t have infinite money to give to doctors and hospitals so some people do die. They allow cars to drive around which kill people, but also license and regulate them so they aren’t as bad as it could be and their use as a tool is balanced with the harm they cause. These kinds of decisions also have nothing to do with communism.

              In a communist system there is no such thing as private property. Nobody anywhere owns their own house. There are zero businesses because that is private.

              In a communist system the government assigns where you will live, you never look for a place to live. Government tells you which town you will live and which property to live. If you don’t like the housing that government provides for you, the government does not have to keep you alive if that would be easier for you.

                Great, so why are you calling this a Communist scam? Where are the communists that are running the scam? How are they communists if the government doesn’t own everything?

                  Because global warming propagandists want humanity to give up modern life, want humanity to abandon technology, like in the modern version of a mud hut, while the people pushing the global warming message get to own the luxeries and build their wealth while humanity owns nothing and has nothing, and go back to a living like 500 years ago in the name of stopping global warming. And it’s fine for them if a few million lives are sacrificed to help the earth.

                    Again, how are they communists?

                    You’re great with the conspiracy, but you’re a little lacking on the theory.

                    I live in a house with a heat pump and drive an electric car powered by hydro electricity while working from home on my computer and going to swim in the lake after I get off. Where’s the mud? What exactly am I being asked to give up?
