I need you guys to listen so bad, but I’m at least glad people on Twitter are starting to talk about this. The government of Canada is expanding Medically Assisted Death to cull the poor and disabled, and now suicidal and mentally ill (these are usually interchangeable of course here). It is EUGENICS and every single disabled rights organization is against it.

Disability payments are $1,200 a month. The average one bedroom apartment rent in the Greater Toronto Area (greatest pop. area by far here) is $2,000 a month. People with mental illnesses are on months long waitlists to get even a single publicly funded session. Weeks to get privately funded care which costs at least $200 a session. There is no housing here for disabled people. We are in one of the worst housing crises in the world right now.

Doctors are now offering MAiD unprompted to young suicidal people. This woman is 21, a health practitioner literally suggested she kill herself.

This is one of the worst Disability Rights Violations we’ve ever seen in Canada. The government is killing us because it is cheaper than funding healthcare, cheaper than giving people housing and food and basic human rights.

This is the reason why you must not be fooled by the campaigns about terminally ill patients fighting to die many lobbies, governments and parties promote.

It doesn't matter where nor when you are reading this. What is going on in Canada can be seen in the Netherlands as well.

There have always been ways to depart from this world without government approval. When my grandfather ended up almost dying several times during his last years it was common of doctors to silently offer to ease his way out considering he wouldn't be getting any better.

Thinking that legislating such laws are any good means trusting they won't be used against you nor the ones you love. This is not about letting a suffering human die, this is about opening a window to eugenics and worse.

tumblr banned this blog

Time ago I decided to stop writing as I felt this was an echo chamber where all agreed with each other. However, I kept being an active user, reading and chatting with old friends.

This week, to my surprise, I discovered my blog was terminated. I couldn't believe it, but counting on previous experiences with these modern apps I expected that was it, a ban they would never care to explain.

I was decided not to ask for explanations and forget about it, but my wife actually got sad at the news and that was something I didn't want to do nothing about. I sent them an e-mail asking for explanations, which to this day still got not reply to.

Tonight I decided, for some weird reason, to try to log in again. It was silly but... why not. And here I am, with my account fully opened and working.

Did this happen to any of you?

[traditionalhusband]

New country, new status, a new chapter begins in my life and I am happy to walk it next to my now wife after so much unnecessary suffering these past months brought upon us.

Have not updated for a while, hope the trad community is doing well!

That's all folks!

I started this blog with lots of energy and hope but at this point I don't feel am doing anything but reblogging, which I guess defeats the porpoise of having a personal blog on the first place.

Also somehow I have been feeling a switch at how I feel looking at the cute pictures in my feed. I guess lockdown has taken the best in me and can't think about things in a positive way anymore.

I think that if I open a traditionalist profile again it will be somewhere else where my word is able to reach new minds as here I feel I am just part of an echo chamber, which feels good at times but it's not always ideal.

I may return at some point, but as of now I don't see any need for it. I hope you all have a wonderful life and realize all your dreams.

Wish you all the very best!

Community

Recently I started a few personal projects related to mimicking the feeling of retro personal computers. From the first IBMs to those flashing Win98 PCs.

Why? Because I believe there is something magic behind it. But that magic... I know it well. It is the same sort of feeling I get when I see a decade's old trad family pic on my feed.

On the contrary to my enthusiasm for traditionalism, which focuses on ideals from a time far before I was born and therefore did not get to live, this is something I got to experience as a 90s kid.

So... This got me thinking. What is the source of this feeling?

That feeling of attachment, that sensation of nostalgia.

I know for sure tech wasn't the thing. Using any of those applications or hardware in a daily base and you'll want to hang yourself as usage and convenience has become much better over the years.

Then... why do I miss the 90s internet? Where does that nostalgia for old computing comes from?

Community. This is what I came up with. The old days of personal computing and the 90s internet were special because of the people who were part of it. Because of it's community. A small community where everybody knew each other and build together an ecosystem. Similar somehow to the feeling one gets out of Tumblr's trad community.

Those days won't be back, but they won't be totally gone until I have taken my last breath.

Just another GameStop post

So… I have been dealing with crypto in and out these years, also been playing around with the stock market a bit but left it due to higher regulations and minor returns.

It seems people are getting surprised to see mass media, brokers, and others are turning against minor investors and hoping for hedge funds to be bailed out for what’s been going on and to change rules so it never happens again.

Guys, this has been the game since… ever?

British hedge funds back in 2014 decided to destroy (even more) the Spanish economy by opening big short positions in many values, leading to tons of people losing their money and for businesses to take a hit for non logical reason other than hedge funds manipulating the market to their own advantage. This was entirely legal and therefore allowed.

Later on around 2018 AIs became a pretty notorious thing in markets I watched, provoking big leaps during intraday trading which only purpose was to kick out minor investors of the trade by triggering their stop lost orders. Again, this was legal and okay.

Now it seems a bunch of people on the internet has decided to apply similar tactics to manipulate the market, and I see people surprised that there is a discussion about making new rules so this never happens again.

The market was never about you, nor me, nor any guy looking to make an extra buck or hoping to make a living out of it, it was a game far above any middle class individual where you just tried to keep the pace with the big fishes to grab a small part of their benefits.

What happened here was extremely fun and remarkable and a change in the script I wish we can see more of in a future, but the reactions coming from it are not a surprise at all. Best of luck and trade safe.
