Tbh not sure i agree. Started a lore-playing server with friends in 2012. It grew to over 200 unique players and rich DnD style growing history. Minecraft entered its dark period after the purchase but in the last few years has given players plenty of steady updates that are bringing us back and keeping our lore playing server thriving.
Ive seen more innovations in Minecraft in 5 years than I’ve seen in pokemon in 20, to put it into perspective. Love both series.
Nah mass consciousness is on the rise. In my home province a few years ago the government tried to ban collective bargaining for custodian services to which the province responded with a planned general strike. It won, the government immediately backed down. We do have power. We just forget that until we dont.

I find it interesting to see so many downvotes on this thread. Lots of people telling depressed people to suck it up.
We are the next great mass extinction event and in some ways our impact is already faster (and this far in, harder) than most of our previous mass extinction events. But hey, billionaires need a few more yachts and need endless growth even if it literally kills the planet. So thats a price we are willing to pay for them. We should be rioting.
Other potential resolutions include banning Indigenous land acknowledgements from public events
Hmm I wonder why indigenous communities are universally against albertan separatism and concerned their treaty rights will be ignored.
Thats possible true. But our proverbial great grand parents fought against muzzle and police cavalry to get kids out of the mines, to extend the vote to the working class, to recognize women as equal. These weren’t given to us. Class consciousness is on the rise.
Bring it on! Unsustainability will destroy us worse than a needed economic restructuring.
Ikr. Desire for billionaire status is a sign of a serious mental illness.
Sadly Iran’s military and Islamic extremists have even greater grip than they did before the war started. Good job yankees.
Hes retiring, and he was one of the few to openly call out Trump. Id save your energy for attacking GOP or militant centrist dems.
These centrist governments embrace fascism to protect their ill-gotten wealth inequality and it ironically will lead to real fascists replacing them and making it much worse. Sigh.
The hyper wealthy need to wake up and realize they can still be super wealthy, they just need to give up on the idea of endless growth no matter the context. Else we are heading towards a bronze age collapse as all of our ecological, economic and social systems unwind.
Gut wrenching stories of violence and genocide DAILY. Its disgusting. The worlds everyday person is waking up, but too many governments cozy up to this fascism.
This message doesn’t reach them. They read curated media. My maple maga dad is completely oblivious or even is trained to actively ignore such signals.
I mean. Did they try making sure billionaires get more while continuing to deprive the working class?
Centrist governments the world over, creating fertile grounds for fascist swings. Because centrists protect wealth inequality. Which is a tragedy of course because these fascist swings make wealth inequality even worse.
Ah that is my point too. Selling out resources to the Americans as opposed to finding new markets at market rates, means these people are dont care about albertan prosperity.
Ive never voted Liberal and wont. But to be fair. These separatists are suggesting way below market rates to a single buyer as an incentive for US support. Carney is buying another pipeline (after Trudeau did which is at 95% export capacity) which means more markets at market rates. Not below it.
Untrue for oil and gas. Alberta has seen windfall gains on oil and gas growing year over year. Under trudeau profits rose their fastest and most sustained in albertan history. Carney now building a second pipeline, more markets equals better asking price. Offering even cheaper rates for products already on a market is self defeating.
I guess you meant water though. Alberta actually is more water sensitive than most of the country, so that wouldn’t be wise.

What is most revealing is they are willing to sell natural resources for pennies on the dollar which is proof they dont actually care about the betterment of Alberta. This was always grievance (aka prejudice) politics. Maple MAGA is an extremists movement.
Deserve vs will get is different. This world is rough and you can be well meaning in saying “you deserve better” but to folks deep in pain this sounds not far from “you deserve better sure but suck it up”.
You are still creating excuses for mandating someone’s choice at life with suffering vs not.
Edit: its also like sex work or drugs. You can make it illegal all you want but that just pushes people underground. So. Fucking. Stupid. Sometimes society makes us bash our heads against the wall over and over and expects us to put up with it.
