Willful ignorance. Fear of the state. Habitual cowardice. Chronic dependence. Fear of one's neighbors. Suffocating hopelessness. Total social, entrepreneurial and intellectual paralysis.
The view from socialist Canada:
"The only people allowed to speak in Canada are socialists and they fight over a shrinking pie, like vermin over crusts. If you are not a socialist, keep your head down and your voice muted. It’s too dangerous to focus on Canadian issues. The cadre of grim Marxists in our Privy Council are wildly punitive. They jail people and forget them. If you evince any opinion other than the approved, you are instantly thrown out of any social group, corporation, church, charity group, book club or tennis club.
"All media is so subsidized and obedient, no one watches or reads it but the gatekeepers and government employees. We are so subsidized that a film director makes $7,000 a week directing a Hallmark movie set in Maine or Chicago, but filmed in Toronto, and half of that production is paid for by the Canadian taxpayer. The stars are American. Any profits go to the American producer and network.
"We have trillions of dollars in talent and energy sidelined, living on scraps, without hope.
"For what? “To build the Canadian film industry”, goes the intonation. Name one Canadian film. One. A book, an artist? Except Margaret Atwood, who singlehandedly created two generations of lonely impoverished elderly single women and busted up men with her sexist man-hating propaganda. I watch them wander around dolefully, nothing to look forward to but sickness and decline. Childless. Because feminism.
"If you are excellent in Canada, you are pushed aside. Socialism demands the stupid be empowered because sharp wits would see their game. Our work force is subsidized-up-the-nose second, third and fourth raters. Oh we publish and show and perform. No one cares. The product is socialist realism meant to show the audience that it, the audience, is evil. It’s crude propaganda, no subtlety, no nuance and a vanishing amount of humour.
"We are an exhausted sigh of a nation."

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the (revolutionary) Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy…”
–George Orwell, 1984
Christian Britain has been gone a long time. But the Crown finally held a funeral, bestowing King Charles, earlier "The Defender of the Faith," a new royal title: “Protector of the Space for Faith within the Multi-faith Nation.”
A world-historical societal transformation is taking place before our very eyes, and yet few have taken notice. Britain, the erstwhile leader of the Western world and the foundation and source of English-speaking civilization, is in its last days as a free society, and will soon become an Islamic state. Yet despite the mountains of evidence that this transformation is taking place, many will still deny that it is happening at all. They may not even admit it when it overtakes them personally.
“I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it. But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
Argentinian President Javier Milei
