    Does anyone in this country want war ? Sure there are some deranged PMC neolibs out there but I spend most of time around median or below income people, aka most people, and I’d say even the most reactionary amongst them have no appetite for war. All vibes based analysis really but the disconnect between the “average” person here and the actions/rhetoric of our government just seems so far removed. Not sure what to make of it really.

      The population is so divided about what it wants, or what it thinks it wants, it can’t process the strategic realities we’re dealing with right now.

      I think this quote illustrates the Canadian populations’ general feelings on mobilization. They seem frustrated that the citizenry is not on the same page as the government. I’m certain if a national poll was done most people would say they don’t want to go to war.

    We’re drowning in red tape. The level of regulation stifles innovation. It stifles creativity," Maloney said in reference to the federal government’s overall handling of industry.

    An incredibly bleak quote, oh my god…

      I wonder if lack of regulations would benefit industry (at the workers’ expense and lives ofc) or just make everything collapse faster

        Like, what “red tape” are they even talking about? I honestly don’t think it’s cool for them to complain about constraints in the military industry.

        The trick here is to realize that the two sides of the debate on the level of government intervention are fictionalized controversy that does not represent Socialism and Capitalism which got redefined by Pax Americana to confuse people. The actual difference between Socialism and Capitalism is the economic classes that is in government. The real issue is the political motive of the people who create the regulations and not the regulation itself.
