I truly hope this stupid fucking country burns to the ground, very soon.
I have a theory that all location-based subreddits attract reactionaries because reactionaries commonly think of their location as their identity, and most other people don't.
I was on :reddit-logo: for years before I considered joining my city, province and country subs, it literally never occurred to me.

Same. Location subs also attract people gravitating towards politics in the region (so even more reactionaries, typically), or people concerned with the 'property values' or 'morals' of the region (so NIMBYs)
Plus I'm pretty sure most major city subreddits are also used by people who live 50+ miles away, too.
Particularly the suburbs. So many people call themselves "from X city" when they live in the Jackson-Davis Hills Meadows Heights gated community 7 miles out of town.
A lot of them are probably Astro turfed by whatever ghoulish organization wants to extract resources from that particular community, along with the usual pigshit stuff
Wasn't one of the city subs outed as being astro trufed during the lockdown protests thing?
There is a disconnect between people who think of their location as their identity and those who don't but I feel you are unfairly categorising one side as reactionary
I didn't categorize connecting your location to your identity as reactionary.

god, I hope that's it. I don't want this shit to be representative of even 2% of all people.
Something like 40% of Canadians voted for either the Conservatives (fascist) or People's Party (openly fascist) in the recent federal election. It is way, way higher than 2%.
you know how subreddits are organized around an interest?
the smaller the geographical area a subreddit is for, the more it is about property values
also if you want to hang out with people in your small geographical area just go outside
goes outside
nothing but row after row of houses with the occasional "shopping centre"
good luck getting anywhere without a car
I don't think people would talk to me if I broke in their houses.
don't break into peoples houses obviously knock on the door and invite them to dinner or something
You'd be surprised how many doors open up when you have a pot of chili and some cornbread.
I really want to give Redditors a truly fucking deep sense of empathy for the poor, most vulnerable and most abused members of society, if you catch my drift. I really want to help them understand, and would go to any length to make them form a different perspective, if you’re picking up what I’m putting down.
I know a great way to get them to do some manual labor :josus-stalin:
A man must always live by his work, and his wages must be at least sufficient to maintain him. When the regulation, therefore, is in favor of the workmen, it is always just and equitable
Karl Marx
Oops, that was actually Adam Smith
holy fuck, that entire thread is terrible. literally just a wall of bootlicking "conservatives" with like 1 or 2 people pushing back
I think I need to block reddit in my hosts file or something
"Just work for free bro, bossman deserves it."
REDDIT MOMENT
We have a livable minimum wage in Ontario. You just don't like HOW life is on minimum wage.
Tell me you've never had to check your bank account before buying dry beans without saying those words
Getting overdraft fees because you bought groceries a day early on accident
They'd tell you to suck it up and cut non-essential expenses like cellphone bills and bus fare. Just wake up 3 hours early and walk to work, you lazy bum. Then after taking the 3-hour walk back home, learn to code. If you had learned to code earlier, you wouldn't have to be counting pennies to avoid starving.
correct, lmao, because it sucks, and shouldn't be inflicted on anyone.
Aren't local subreddits filled with reactionary jack-offs who don't even live there usually? Very smart though, wonder how these dingbats think people will continue doing labor if they can't afford to live. How much do they currently cry about "nobody wanting to work" in Canada?

You know it’s going to be some kind of “live / work” prison / indentured servitude/ debt slave situation
The whole system is laid bare and westerners are too cucked to do anything about it.
It's very sad, and basically a guarantee that we'll never rise up at this point
They don't care. A "service" economy requires servants who are cheap enough for others to use their service. The middle class and above have enough material comfort, their complaint is that they don't have a cheap, ready pool of servants like people do in Latin America.
What the hell is r/OntarioCanada? Some metacanada spinoff? r/Ontario is generally less outright ghoulish than these dweebs
It's supposed to be the free speech version of r/Ontario and unsurprisingly it became overtaken by boomer conservatives and nazis
What the hell is r/OntarioCanada? Some metacanada spinoff?
looks like it
I actually agree. Before you jump on me, hear me out. I don't believe the likes of Pompeo, Blinken and the other imperial hawks who work to advance US imperialism deserve a life, much less a livable wage.
