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."

GK Chesterton on adultery:
"The revolt against vows has been carried in our day even to the extent of a revolt against the typical vow of marriage. It is most amusing to listen to the opponents of marriage on this subject. They appear to imagine that the ideal of constancy was a yoke mysteriously imposed on mankind by the devil, instead of being, as it is, a yoke consistently imposed by all lovers on themselves. They have invented a phrase, a phrase that is a black and white contradiction in two words - ‘free-love' - as if a lover ever had been, or ever could be, free.
"It is the nature of love to bind itself, and the institution of marriage merely paid the average man the compliment of taking him at his word. Modern sages offer to the lover, with an ill-favored grin, the largest liberties and the fullest irresponsibility; but they do not respect him as the old Church respected him; they do not write his oath upon the heavens, as the record of his highest moment. ...
Opinion by Lau Vegys:
America's problems aren't fixable with patriotic sentiment. They're mathematical realities that don't care about your flag-waving.
The national debt recently hit $37 trillion. By 2033—the same year Social Security's trust fund runs dry—we're looking at debt exceeding $50 trillion. Interest payments alone will consume nearly half of all tax revenue.
At that point, the Federal Reserve will have no choice but to print tens of trillions of dollars to bail out the Treasury. The resulting inflation will make the early 1980s look like a picnic.
And of course, as I mentioned in a recent piece, whether it's $37 trillion now or $50 trillion in about eight years, the headline number is just the tip of the iceberg.
Add it all up—Medicare, Social Security, federal pensions, and other off-the-books promises—and the real financial hole the U.S. government faces is closer to $150 trillion. That’s nearly $1 million per taxpayer.
The Guardian reports that 15,000 Afghans were relocated to the UK in a secret scheme, while Breitbart reported that nearly 24,000 Afghans were brought in, with the British government earmarking £7 billion to secretly house and import them.
The UK taxpayer has no choice but to pay up, while government transparency was lacking.
Whether all these Afghans were vetted remains unknown. Given the reputation of the UK along with many Western countries, the vetting process for migrants is nearly nonexistent, and highly questionable in this case in particular.
Also, in the spring of 2023, while Rishi Sunak was prime minister and many UK military families had no heat or hot water, the government continued to host illegal migrants in plush hotels, at the cost to taxpayers of $8.5 million USD a day and rising. And while homelessness was up over 27% in Britain, illegal, mostly Muslim migrants from the Middle East and Africa, were royally served in those plush hotels. Now it comes to light that in...
