Canada does not get enough hate elliot sang again 2025-10-03 | previously titled: Americans: Maybe don’t move to Canada. focused on deeper issues with our northern neighbors, as well as the practical realities of moving there. long story short: much like our conversation about europe, canada is not a “safe haven” of “civilized people,” it is another imperial western state. leaving the US for a while to visit, or getting student or work visas, are always practical. but remember that moving is really really hard, and it cannot be a decision made out of panic. there are many communities to fight for, organizations to work with, and cities/states that offer protection for the marginalized in the US. if you need to move somewhere, those are the places to look for firstfeaturing @lily_lxndredited by Danae O.http://patreon.com/elliotsangSUPPORT AHMED MATER: instagram.com/ahmedmateer/?hl=enchuffed.org/project/130545-stand-with-ahmeeds-family-rebuild-their-future-in-gazacheck out his vlog from gaza: youtube.com/watch?v=lnWs4YczTEwDONATE TO UNRWA: donate.unrwa.org/int/en/generalLINKS USED:tiktok.com/@todmaffin/video/7549423478093516052?_r=1&_t=ZP-8zyAciOkWIotheconversation.com/canadas-productivity-strategy-needs-to-centre-workers-249669theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/04/canada-carney-budget-trumpen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Carneycbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/paid-to-stay-home-one-third-officers-accused-gender-based-violence-1.7181385en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_ConfederationLINKS:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_genocide_of_Indigenous_peoples#shado-mag.com/articles/opinion/borders-not-justice-challenging-canadian-exceptionalism-during-the-climate-crisissfchronicle.com/personal-finance/article/move-to-canada-election-spike-how-to-19871489.phptiktok.com/@rohinislm/video/7456575639534030085?_r=1&_t=ZP-8zyAobGYZFXtiktok.com/@cntrtnr/video/7439173708742233399?tiktok.com/t/ZP8SbcVatisdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/the-rise-of-anti-south-asian-hate-in-canadacihi.ca/en/wait-times-for-priority-procedures-in-canada-2025secondstreet.org/2025/01/15/15474-canadians-died-waiting-for-health-care-in-2023-24cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/canada-widens-gap-output-climate-targets-1.7639971grist.org/global-indigenous-affairs-desk/canadas-wildfire-crisis-is-displacing-first-nations-at-alarming-ratesmondoweiss.net/2024/02/the-reasons-for-canadas-unwavering-support-for-israelpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39356403ccla.org/equality/ccla-strongly-condemns-alberta-legislation-that-erodes-freedoms-of-trans-and-gender-diverse-youth-and-their-familiesreddit.com/r/povertyfinancecanada/comments/1c0thdj/i_dont_know_how_to_survive_on_disabilityreddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/1ltfks4/can_i_apply_for_asylum_in_canada_as_a_transpantiktok.com/@askdrmatt/video/7469201243555024158?q=canada&t=1759243410376bbc.com/news/articles/c0j1z14p57pohttps://bsky.app/profile/tirrrb.bsky.social/post/3lplevlu2zs2bhttps://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/canadian-government-accused-of-holding-back-on-palestinian-immigrants/3475260aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/20/canada-faces-lawsuit-over-delays-to-gaza-visa-programme00:00 introduction01:18 tod12:32 is canada 'all bad'?19:56 moving to canada is expensive24:35 racism in canada32:03 canadian healthcare36:50 climate disaster43:17 canada is 'peaceful'46:42 trans rights and disability in canada54:05 the reality of fleeing trump59:18 seeking asylum1:06:08 sudanese and palestinian refugees

Celebrity Politics, and the Ja Rule Joke elliot sang again 2025-06-26 | most celebrities have power, money, and influence. they are often (as in the case of certain ethnostates) doing propaganda for companies and governments. thom yorke in particular is a celebrity who was an ideal target for criticism because of his many espoused beliefs about injustice and his contradictory lack of participation in a highly popular movement against genocide and apartheid. people are mad he got called out and say it's because it is absurd to look to celebrities for political opinions, but if that were the case, they would not be so concerned with also Defending his political opinion (as many of these same people are) nor would they have been supportive of the many other times thom yorke expressed political opinions. in reality, online centrists and right-wingers have so little political education that they cannot defend their opinions even when famous public figures agree with them. so they simultaneously defend those opinions while also pretending it is absurd that they should be asked for their opinion. let's talk about itand also: i know that chappelle references the ja rule joke in 8:46. he takes the same position--it is absurd that people should ask me to talk about politics!--and makes a strawman that people are asking him to get on the streets and "talk over the work people are doing." and then he also defends himself by saying "have i not ever said anything about these things before?" so he wants it both ways--i talk about these things and thus should not be called out (bear in mind that he doesn't even say he was called out specifically, he was just offended don lemon would ask celebrities to speak up on Black Lives Matter), but also it's dumb that someone should expect me to talk about these things. so then why speak about these things? why make the admittedly quite poignant 8:46 special speaking up for oppressed people if you think it's also dumb that people should want you to speak up for oppressed people?i get that sometimes people overstep and make All of politics about celebrities, but acting as though we should never be interested in what they have to say or should never call them out when they don't use their many resources to help oppose injustice, especially when (in the case of Thom Yorke) they are benefitting monetarily from said injustice, is absurd. it is time to retire the ja rule joke.edited by Danae O.
Sabrina Carpenter and White Ambiguity elliot sang again 2025-06-18 | hello everyone, here are some thoughts on the Great Sabrina Carpenter Controversy of 2025--a distraction from real political issues for sure, but also an interesting peek into how major labels are managing (white) artists with a great amount of care. carpenter herself has made multiple left-leaning statements, but not ones that dig into politics very much at all. and that's okay; or is it? should we not demand more of the classes of people whose job is to be idolized, celebrated, and enriched by working and middle class fans, especially when they belong to the most privileged backgrounds? especially when they are suddenly putting out art that ambiguously treads into controversial territory, regarding misogyny and abuse? can we not criticize them respectfully, even if we like their work and think they mean well? and most importantly, should we not be divesting from celebrity culture, especially when it treads in a kind of white ambiguity that does little to meaningfully engage with politics? this is Not sabrina carpenter hate, but it Is celebrity industry hate, and i hope it reads that wayhere's my patreon: http://patreon.com/elliotsangedited in a pinch by the great Danae O. while i am away from home
