StandUpRight

Yesterday I saw a video clip of some Global News twat interviewing some dumbass with an MD. He purported to be shocked, SHOCKED that people aren't getting their 43rd COVID booster, and put it off to "vaccine fatigue." I put it, and some other things off to "bullshit fatigue." There are signs out there that even the Canadian sheeple are getting fed up with the bullshit, and we're not alone. There's change brewing.

I genuinely don't understand the Liberal compulsion to protect the Trudeaus at any and all costs. First, some party hack blows up his reputation to whitewash Paints His Face's invocation of martial law over his pants pissing fear of a couple truckers honking their horns at him Then David Johnston trainwrecks his personal and professional reputations to shield le Dauphin from China getting him re re elected. Now the speaker for the house resigns to protect Blackface Hitler from the consequences of celebrating a Nazi in the house of commons. I don't get it. But they do it.

In this third video on missions in general, and your mission in particular, I dive into the question of what your mission is, and how, if it doesn't choose you, you must choose it. More here:

In this second video about defining and choosing your mission in life, I dive a little deeper into first principles. Like, before you can choose what YOUR mission is, you need first to know WHAT a mission is. More here: https://standupright.ca/2023/10/what-is-your-mission-first-what-is-a-mission/

Back in June, as the school year was drawing to a close and summer vacations were approaching, I got to thinking deeply about purpose, and meaning. I got to thinking about having a mission. This is the first of three videos on the topic of defining, and choosing something more for your life, a mission.

At the end of my last video I said Canada is going down, and going down hard. Let's follow that up with some observations on the dismal state of education in this, the final stages of the decline and fall of Western Civilization.

Gotta hand it to the trust fund tyrant, he's nothing if not predictable. Months ago I predicted that, with Blackface Hitler's cratering popularity, the Liberals were going to go dirty. They were going to accuse the conservatives of wanting to restrict abortion, cut health care, and bring in American attack politics. Well, ol' Blackface answered a question about the rising cost of living by accusing the conservatives of...wanting to restrict abortion and put assault rifles on the streets. Dammit, I forgot about the guns...

As we were turning the corner out of summer, I returned to making videos. This one was in reaction to Brian Lilley and Warren Kinsella pretending to be puzzled about the Liberals' return to attack politics as their popularity cratered. They pretended to be surprised that the Liberals made a key mistake in not defining PeeWee of the Conservative party as dark and scary. That they were going to bring in American style attack politics, and the theocracy and blah, blah, blah. I started watching Canadian politics 45 years ago, and these are the exact same, worn out lies that Liberals always tell about Conservatives. And former Liberal back room boy Kinsella's only complaint is that they didn't do it soon enough.

More thoughts on the Liberal party's failure to define PeeWee Poilievre as dark, and scary, and all the other lies Liberals normally tell about conservatives. Thing is, Lilley and Kinsella had it wrong. The Liberals didn't forget to try to define PeeWee, they tried to define him the wrong way. They went with competence, i.e., that Poilievre's non-existent resume couldn't stack up to Blackface Hitler's non-existent resume. Since that didn't work, it's back to the old standbys of getting down into the muck and slinging.

In one sentence, describe yourself. Say, "I am..." The words you use to finish that sentence are powerful. They define you, they even create you. Choose them carefully. More here: https://standupright.ca/2023/09/20230926-describing-yourself-or-the-power-and-magic-of-self-talk/

Back in August, PM Paints His Face and Sophie split, and I recorded a few thoughts on it.

Much of what we hear in life is about the big. I prefer to think in terms of the small. Small victories, small disciplines, small habits, just showing up daily and doing something, anything, to move incrementally toward the desired result.

Lately we've been seeing the Liberals cratering in the polls, to levels of unpopularity not seen since the last time a Trudeau was PM. Here's a video from the way back machine. Back in July I was contemplating PM Paints His Face's personal (un)popularity, and a survey which placed the Trust Fund Hitler as the most hated prime minister in (recent) Canadian history. Let's unpack that...

I'm a future oriented man, I see something coming and behave as if it is already here. For instance, I enjoy the anticipation of a vacation more than the actual vacation. In late August I was looking past Labour Day to the boys' returns to school, and beginning to react emotionally as if they already had. Having got myself caught in this situation, I used the experiences of a lifetime of borrowing tomorrow's troubles into today, I reminded myself of that Persian adage, "This too shall pass." I knew I'd be distressed with the return to school, but I also know that those feelings will pass. So I focused on the present, and the good things happening, to try not to borrow future problems.

September is when the boys go back to school, and I reflect upon the summer's successes and failures. Then I usually fall into a depressive spiral. Having the foreknowledge of what was inevitably to come, I spent the year, starting in January, preparing a defense against depression. Last year I ended up in one of the deepest spirals of my life. This year, not so much.

I had a bad patch late in August, when my depression came slouching out of it's cave to remind me of its existence. This time because I was borrowing future troubles into the present. I was feeling the absence from my boys' returns to school, even though we still (at the time) had two weeks of summer vacation left. Age brings perspective, and I got to thinking about the Persian adage, "This too shall pass." I've been down this road before, and experience provided an important lesson.

So the headlines tell us the super genius neocon dipshits in Washington are rushing to get Ukraine into NATO. Are those dumb shits aware that, first, Ukraine is in a shooting war with Russia? Second, a shooting war with a NATO ally triggers an article five, all in war? Third, Russia is, at minimum, a nuclear armed near peer? Fourth, Russia still has ammunition and a short supply line while the US is, according to President Senile Kiddy Toucher, shot dry. And the Germans have 2 days of ammo? Do we really want to expand that shit show to include our young men, when we should be trying to spare the poor buggers already in it? Are you scared yet?

Of all the things our low functioning, racist idiot of a PM has done, few of them are unthinkable. At least if you view it from the point of view of a bigoted fool, who has never suffered the consequences of his actions. There is one thing that he might be able to do, something I would have thought unthinkable in this demented dominion. Something so hard as to border on the impossible. He is moving past toxic, to hated. Can he be so toxic, so hated, that he finally puts to rest the notion of the Liberals as "Canada's Natural Governing Party?" For the sake of the country's future, let us hope so.

I guess calling people with functioning brains a bunch of racist, sexist, science deniers who are just taking up space, stopped working. I guess calling parents who want to have the final say in their children's educations "far right" isn't working. So, our super genius, totally not a complete bigoted fascist Prime Minister is reduced to 4th grade name calling. He's accusing people who won't drop their concerns about the ChiNazis interfering in our elections "mean." Meanie conservatives, stop hurting poor Blackface Hitler's precious feelings.

Conservative media puts out, "We've GOT him, this time we've really, really got him," stories on the regular. It's a nice change from the bought and paid for whores of the CBC, CTV, Red Star Over Toronto, etc., but it simply doesn't comport with reality. A couple of weeks ago, the Counter Signal breathlessly reported that the RCMP was investigating Trudeau for obstruction of justice, which could put him behind bars for up to 10 years. No. Not gonna happen. Not to a Trudeau, not by the RCMP. Sure enough, the very next day reality intervened.

Trudeau would have it that parents wishing to control their children's educations are "far right." Of course, he thought that peaceful protesters were far right, extremist, racist, sexist, science deniers who just take up space. We're hearing a lot of crap about the rise of the "far right," but when the CBC, or other bought and paid for government whores in the press use the term, it has absolutely no connection to, well, reality. What you and I understand to mean "right wing" and what these idiots mean when they say "right wing" are two very different things. Here's a short primer to help you translate it when an idiot says "right wing" into everyday English.

Trudeau has an interesting, and for a G-7 Prime Minister not only useless, but actually detrimental, skill. With him, there is absolutely no bottom. No matter how deep a hole he finds himself in, he just keeps digging. Not content with labelling anyone who opposed COVIDian fascism a racist, misogynist, science denier who's just taking up space, he's now moved on to label parents who want to control their children's educations as "far right." Man, that "far right" just keeps expanding, at least in PM Paints His Face's tiny little "brain." I mean, there's gotta be at least a couple of yellow dog Liberals who think they know better than Dumb and Dumber how their children should be raised. You thought you were a Liberal, and your glorious leader has painted you as "far right." That's gotta sting. Right?

You know how one of Hitler's excuses for invading and annexing territory was the presence of Germans living there? Sound anything like the Chinese designs on Taiwan? Well, the Americans have been planning for the evacuation of their people from Taiwan for a few months now, leading me to think maybe the ChiNazis are getting ready to invade another sovereign nation (Do you suppose anyone is going to print Free Taiwan shirts, like they did for Tibet?). Oh, well, it's not like the world economy runs on computers, and it's not like Taiwan is the source of most of the worlds highest quality chips. Right? Right?
