The Dark Philosophy of Deliveroo

Food delivery apps are a harbinger of decline.

The Victorians were obsessed with the idea of the future.

Unlike the dystopias of the 20th century, crafted through the horrors of war and tyranny, the Victorian futurists imagined bright, mechanised utopias where technology delivered fairness, abundance, and joy.

Edward Bellamy’s Looking Backward (1888) pictured Boston in the year 2000 as a land of equal wealth, credit cards, and benevolent corporations. William Morris, in News from Nowhere (1890), conjured a pastoral Thameside vista where the smog and industry of London was replaced with an artisanal commune in which government and money were no longer necessary.

‘Palestine’ can’t just be ‘conjured up’: Douglas Murray blasts Mark Carney

Outspoken British journalist Douglas Murray has a blunt take on Israel’s strikes in Qatar, targeting Hamas’s leadership. “The scandal is not that Israel acted, but that it had to.” In an interview in Montreal with National Post, Murray, the bestselling author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, offered a sharp and unapologetic view on Israel’s decision to target Hamas leaders in Doha.

We now support Hamas? What a stupid statement by Carney. h/t Mauser

‘Allah will burn them’: What pro-Palestinian students and allies say when they think no one is watching

In the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, a group of Jewish students at Western University infiltrated two private group chats, belonging to Palestinian students and their allies in the London, Ont., community.

The students’ discoveries shine a light on what some opponents of Israel are saying to one another when they think no one’s watching. What they found in the chat histories is unsettling: a stream of Hitler memes, pro-Hamas videos and antisemitic cartoons. More alarming is the advice group chat members give each other on escaping detection. There are even tips on bringing knives to peaceful protests.

I’m shocked.

Self-defence deters criminals more than complying

In Canada, if people can’t successfully “hide” from criminals, police officials are advising crime victims to “comply” with a criminal’s demands. Jim MacSween, the chief of York Regional Police since 2020 who oversees 1.2 million residents living in York Region, warned residents not to attempt to confront intruders but to comply with the criminal until law enforcement arrives.

Four Seconds on a Charlotte Train

The slaughter of Iryna Zarutska was horrific, unacceptable—and preventable.

The video of Decarlos Brown, Jr., slaughtering 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte light-rail train on the night of August 22nd is sickening in many ways, but one aspect of the horror was how mundanely it unfolded. All of us who have had to contend with greater chaos and danger on mass-transit systems since 2020 have created useful fictions for ourselves: that wouldn’t happen to me, because I know not to sit near the crazy guy. I know to sit around other people. I know how to defend myself—punch someone, bite someone, scream. The video demolishes that fiction. We’ve also had to contend with a related fiction: that our transit systems remain safe. It’s time we stopped accepting random murders on our transit systems as normal.

The TTC is an urban transit nightmare.

‘It’s just like somebody passing away’: Thunderchild First Nation loses only church to fire

Fred Thunderchild and his wife Alvina were roused in the early hours of Sept. 1 by a phone call from a neighbour. Their church was on fire.

The couple, who are co-pastors, rushed to the church on Thunderchild First Nation, which is approximately 210 kilometres from Saskatoon, as soon as they heard.

“When we got there, it’s already pretty well all smokey, like from the seams and from the doors,” Fred said.

China’s Threat – Wainright’s Important Warning

After watching the carefully stage-managed parade of Communist Chinese military power observing the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, it is important to hear and heed the warning provided by an American general who endured four brutal years as a Japanese prisoner-of-war eight decades ago.

General Jonathan Wainwright fought a brave but futile defense of the Philippines in the days after Pearl Harbor. Having been overwhelmed by far superior forces, his men faced the Bataan Death March and barbaric treatment from their Japanese captors.
