It's pandering to wealthy Hollywood types and Suburbanites so that they can feel morally superior.

Of course! People now realize identity politics serve them no purpose other than a failed attempt of inspirational porn.
First of all, happy new year, my dear brothers and sisters, I hope that you folks have a better year than before and I wish you luck and prosperity for this new year and the coming years.
Okay, so I was just sitting on my desk, with my friends on call on Discord, celebrating the new year online. When I was scrolling down social media, I was reminded of this article, where Vladimir Putin said along the lines of "Mocking Muhammad is not free speech" or some shit like that.
And just like that, national media in my country flocked to that like flies to fruit. Calling Putin, PUTIN, the dude that has a track record of killing, blackmailing, poisoning, and making people disappear, THAT Vladimir Putin, a "hero" for speaking out against western civilisation.
I know world politics is not easily accessible by the masses, I know that Putin is a master of propaganda, but come the fuck on. This doesn't stop at Putin as well, I suppose Erdogan is one of those popular panderers. The weirdest one for me is Narendra Modi, simply because he's anti-Chinese, not knowing that India also has Xinjiang-style concentration camps.
But what do I know, I'm just some raving atheist on the internet, skeptical of all things Islam.
This was removed from my local subreddit for being too inflammatory, but I'm too pissed off to edit it to make it more polite. My provincial government can go fuck itself for pandering to antivax assholes.
It's been said to death by now, but let's add one more pissed of Alberta family, and one more potentially ruined Christmas thanks to the shitshow the UCP have turned our Healthcare system into.
This summer my grandma had a heart attack and almost didn't make it through. Since then she's been living with my aunt's family and seeing a bunch of specialists to monitor her heart. Last month she was scheduled for a triple bypass surgery, but when it was time they found signs of an infection. So they gave her some antibiotics and postponed the surgery for a few weeks.
Fast forward to this past weekend, she has been having a lot of chest pains that seemed to be getting worse. My aunt brought her into the hospital Sunday, and she was admitted to the emergency ward. By Monday she was pushed through for an emergency surgery scheduled Wednesday. Wednesday came, and she kept getting pushed back and back until she was rescheduled again to today.
If you're following along, you can guess where we're at now. She's now been rescheduled to next Wednesday. Thanks to the current restrictions, the only people currently allowed to see her in the hospital over Christmas are my mom, and my uncle; and the rest of our family is stuck waiting and hoping that she has enough strength to make it through another week.
All of this is happening thanks to our hospitals being overrun with covid patients, most of which are unvaccinated. Fuck antivaxxers, fuck the UCP, and fuck this pandemic.
