I really wonder what Canadian capitalist are thinking. I guess their thoughts are to try to keep Canadian politics as "Liberal" as possible to avoid growing anti American sentiment along with anti capitalist sentiment (something that obviously goes hand in hand). I'd guess they are trying to avoid that connection and working to maintain national solidarity in place of what could very quickly be class solidarity if they are not careful.

Because at the end of the day the capitalist class of Canada is essentially just an extension of US capital. And I'm not saying this in an "Americas hat" kind of way. It's just how global capital works and even more so with Canada because of its geographical proximity.

I worry the capitalist in Canada are working to ensure the "pro Canada anti-American" politicians are well within their hands. And when the point comes to squeeze the working class of Canada harder it will likely be done through the means of "Canadian Nationalism"; and ensuring the masses view their suffering as a fault of "America" and not for what it really is; an attack in both countries on the working class.

I mean the average person in the professional/managerial class is not Che. The entire point is to analyze it from material incentives. That is the tools of dialectical materialism that we have at our disposal.

The material interests of the professional class aligns with the capitalist class. I'm in that class technically. I'm a well paid software engineer that gets a large portion of my pay in stock. I'm doing well.

I know that my material interests are aligned with the success of capital. I have to make a conscious choice to be a class traitor and work against my own material interests. And that's easier for me. I'm not even a manager or a landlord.

You're kind of proving my point using an example like Che. He literally was educated into Marxism through personal experience throughout motorcycle diaries.

The average person in the professional/managerial class is not like me and definitely not like Che.

He's essentially calling you a Nazi and apparently you're too stupid to understand that.

Sure. My point wasn't that. My point is that there are still a not insignificant amount of people that are a part of the professional/managerial class who's material interests align with that of the ruling capitalist class of billionaires.

There is still a portion of "working" people that benefit enough from neoliberalism that they continue to believe that capitalism is a fair system that benefits hard work.

There absolutely are. There are a lot of people at the top (not even billionaires) that are making tons of money as the working class suffer.

You know when you think someone is wrong you should probably provide evidence or reason for WHY you think that?

Just saying "wrong" is what Trump does.

ICE will absolutely be outside every voting box just waiting to harass anyone with an even slight tan.

You're not wrong. America has used Gaza as a testing ground for their suppression and terror on population. The biggest difference is that Palestinians are united against their occupiers and even still are resisting the fascist Ethnostate of Israel. They have perfected their terror in drone and AI weapons.

We, we are not united. And we have too many liberals standing on the sidelines hoping the next vote will make things normal again.

I think being born during the time of 9/11 has broken your and many Americans brains. Muslim fear mongering and racism is such a fundamental part of America that you can't seem to recognize how insane what she said was.

So much so that a half ass "apology" like she gave is enough for you I guess.

Dude. We got Nazi style concentration camps being built in the US and the news reporting on some "we'll get him with the #lawsuit guys!"

Holy shit. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. How many lawsuits is this guy gonna rubber/glue before the liberals call for a real movement.

How we don't have democratic politicians calling for general strikes and mass protests? It really goes to show how much of a passive and useless party they have and continue to be.

They are still acting like the system that has allowed the fascist to take power is the same system that will bring that back out of power? Like, holy fuck. Stop pretending like this system works.

The courts work for Trump. They're not gonna be the thing that takes him down.

I've heard people had luck with Tailscale playing nicely with non Plex options. I can't say I've tried it. Though I do use Tailscale. Essentially if you setup Tailscale for Grandma it'll be like she's sitting on your local network. Even better, set it up on her router and you can literally debug all her Internet problems if you can ping it.

Beyond that a raspberry pi with a battery backup on a 4G subscription connected to the router. That would be the ultimate "grandma" setup. Connect her router/modem power to remote power cycle. But I digress.

For some reason I get permission errors on jellyfin every time I use it. Never with Plex. I've gone through the steps to fix it before. But when you change your shit as much as I do. I just stay with Plex because it's plug and play. And I have the pass. I don't have the time to fuck with stupid shit with jellyfin.
