“More than ever, this kind of dangerous situation shows how having more access to trustworthy and reliable information and news is vital for so many of our communities to be informed about the current emergency.”

Facebook isn’t trustworthy. Tech bros can’t be trusted.

It’s not like the internet has been removed. Social media isn’t the internet. News sites are still accessible. As is the whole internet. People need to get their head out of their asses already. This problem is farcical. Life threatening situation, ‘oh no my facebook is broken what will I do?!?11’. How did we even get to this point. The internet circa 90s and early 2000s is laughing their asses off at all this. PEBKAC.

They managed during the 45th administration. And through COVID with them too. Another concern is if there will be adults still in charge here in the first place.

Probably a testament to the effectiveness of conservative regressivism. Over the years I’ve heard parents of the Harris generation say there is night and day difference between the children of before and after the destruction Harris wreaked on the education system. They’re perpetuating a class of poorly educated will continue to vote against their own interests.

Toronto and Vancouver will remain very expensive not matter what. Inherit your parents mcmansion or place your bets on some other region that might become prosperous in 3 or 4 decades.

Reinstate shop classes. Stop vilifying manual labor. Even as past time hobbies. The millennial generation in Ontario was the cohort that saw these things cut during the Mike Harris era. Coincidentally it was also the height of the university mindset. Guys grew up just sitting at home all day. Nothing else to do when not trying to grind through university. Sitting there stewing in their own mind. Doom scrolling scary things online. Not good.

Make sportsball a thing again. These generations are of the nerd era where it’s cool to hate jocks and sportsball related things. Sports leagues have their own issues with masculinity but it does get guys out there touching grass.

Nerds turned to wrestling / fight sports for their version recreation league entertainment. Except it made them want to fight in real life. You can’t just go around fighting people in real life so they got all this pent up aggression inside. Recipe for disaster. That’s what I noticed in particular among my own peers in real life.

I may be wrong but I believe these are timeless remedies for at risk youth. Keep them busy doing things out there in the world. They won’t have time for radicalization.
