Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example | Fortune
The Gen Z Swedish climate activist is a legionnaire of the Antichrist, Thiel claims, a “Luddite” who wants to halt technological progress in its tracks.

NEW: This week on Whatever This Is, the one word everyone missed from Carney’s speech.
Pluralism.
Pluralism isn’t weakness. It’s an economic super-weapon.
It’s how we survive while others burn down.
We refuse to live in a country that doesn't have room for everyone.

Exactly this. It is completely unhinged for them to act like they continue to have a mandate without holding a new election. Albertans did not knowingly elect a separatist party.
If she must prioritize party unity over the stability of Alberta’s place in Canada - if, in other words, that’s her and her party’s policy - then she can darn well call an election and campaign on the platform: elect us and we’ll have a referendum on sovereignty and we have no idea what would happen

This is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

Just so we're all clear: the folks using direct democracy to push for Alberta separatism have a problem with....democracy.
Modry adds that the problem of democracy is that it's a "tyranny of the majority over the minority," citing COVID as an example. "If you protect individual rights, you will protect all of societal rights, but the reverse doesn't occur."

Federally, the @mark-carney.bsky.social government must summon the US ambassador for an explanation and, barring a complete retraction and an apology, expel him in protest.
Provincially, Alberta government needs to pick a side. Are Premier Smith and the UCP loyal to Canada, or separatists?

I can tell you this is a minority that will not pass. We already had a petition to stay in Canada that reached almost 500k.
