Tom Mulcair, the leader of Canada’s progressive New Democratic party,
has called Republican frontrunner Donald Trump a “fascist”, and taken
aim at Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, for refusing to
condemn Trump’s candidacy.

“Donald Trump is a fascist,” Mulcair said at an event last week.
“Let’s not kid ourselves, let’s not beat around the bush.”

Mulcair also attacked Trudeau’s reticence to speak frankly about
Trump. “I will not hesitate to point out the fact that Mr Trudeau just
shrugs his shoulders when he’s asked about Donald Trump and says, ‘Oh
the relationship between Canada and the United States goes beyond any
two individuals,’” he said. “I’m sorry, if a fascist becomes president
of the United States, I want to be on record as having opposed it long

Which is relevant to what exactly? Canada is much smaller
than USA so there are understandably a smaller number of
wackos (different in quantity but not necessarily quality).

I probably should not engage your subject but, since you
repeated it above, could you cite some fascists policy Mr
Trump instituted in USA? Maybe I missed that.

It's rather difficult to call someone a fascist because the definition
of the term tends to be very broad and a moving target.
<https://www.google.com/search?q=is+donald+trump+a+fascist>
Here are some possible definitions:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism>
I skimmed most of the long list of definitions and found minimal
commonality between them. As I see it, anyone who fails to agree with
my politics must therefore be a fascist. Skimming various articles
that accuse Donald Trump of being a fascist and conveniently leave out
specifics or invent their own definition. For example:
"A New Kind of Fascism"
<https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/trump-second-term-isolationist-fascism/674791/>
If we apply a rigorous definition of fascist, then Donald Trump is
certainly not a genuine fascist. However, if we use the broad paint
brush found in most such accusations, he's a fascist primarily because
he has done something that others have found disagreeable.

Enough politics for today. I'll be busy spending the rest of the
afternoon troubleshooting my emergency generator which refuses to
start. Probably water in the fuel and carburetor. It must be a
fascist generator. Hopefully, I won't need to lift anything heavy.

"Everything is in the State. Nothing is outside the State.

Drivel: I bought myself a new pair of work boots:
<https://www.wolverine.com/US/en/hellcat-ultraspring-6-inch-carbonmax-work-boot/194713313141.html>
I've been wearing them around the house to break them in. On my way
down the wooden stairs, I did an un-impressive slip and fall on the
green slime growing on the stairs. New shoe soles tend to be VERY
slippery. Nothing broken or damaged, but the hard landing will
probably produce a few bruises. I'll be painting the stairs with
vinegar when it stops raining (probably Thursday).

I had one of those falls a few weeks ago, also on wet wooden steps (my
porch) and also with relatively new boots. A friend had just arrived to
hike with me, so it was somewhat embarrassing, but there was no real
harm other than the most minor bruise.

But I took it as a warning and bought some adhesive traction strips
(grit applied to fabric) made for that purpose. I got a pack of eight,
IIRC, each about 1" x 8". I applied them carefully about an inch inboard
from the edge of each step.

Within about a week the adhesive was failing. So I added a few brads to
each strip to hold them in place. That strategy failed too. I'll have to
look for alternatives.

Mussolini's corporatism is still the best definition of fascism available. It also matched Il Duce's practice in every particular. Note also that Hitler's political party was called the National Socialist Party, acronymmically NAZI, and that important institutions made their members swear personal fealty to The Leader, der Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. This is corporatism in action, with the tweak that der Fuhrer *is* the State. Stalin, who between 1937 (the Yeshovchina, the killing of, among others, 3000 Chekists of the rank of Colonel and above, called in Russia the "Murder of the Murderers") and his death was wildly popular with the common people of the USSR, wasn't an intellectual, so he had no slogan-like catchphrases for his instinctive outlook (he himself said that Lenin was the greatest sloganeer in history, a bit over the top but near enough for government work; Stalin's own best work was the radio broadcasts during WWII, in which he took a tip from Hitler in his reiteration of "the Rodina", the Motherland) but his practice was corporatism even more intense than Mussolini's, though of course he would probably have preferred calling it statism. China under the Communists is another corporate entity, and there is no doubt in my mind that Mr Xi, like all his predecessors, is a fascist. Cancel culture anywhere is a fascist movement: Nothing against the Left, nothing undestroyed outside the Left (don't bother looking that up, Slow Johnny -- I just invented the slogan to fit their actions).

Lucky that there was no damage. When I fall, I usually do damage. I
recently got up too fast from the Catrike and passed out again. I must
have drug my right ankle over something sharp or jagged like I did a
few years ago. It'll add to the scars running down my shin from that
earlier episode.

My daily small dose aspirin made it look far worse than it was after
an hour of riding back to my truck, so when I got home I got another
lecture from my wife about my carelessness. Spending a minute or so
sitting up from the reclining position before I stand up seems to deal
with the problem, but sometimes I'm in a hurry. I drink a lot of water
on my rides.

Sorry, not this time. While going down the stairs, I received an
anonymous text message suggesting that I should "watch my step". I
wrongly assumed that this was in reference to my comments in RBT. I
didn't considered that I should take the warning literally. It the
warning came from someone in RBT, please be more specific the next
time.

Please note that I've been going up and down my stairs for 51 years
and have never slipped sufficiently to produce a fall. What is
different this time is that I simultaneously experienced the annual
green slime growth on the stairs and new shoes. When I tried to get
up, I slipped again. It was almost as bad as walking on ice in street
shoes. If I had been wearing my usual work boots, nothing would have
happened.

The stairs are Douglas fir wood and attaching 3M safety tape is not
going work on wood:
<https://photos.app.goo.gl/g1b1R5xtsBS53eCr8>
I slipped on the last few steps near the bottom.

Roger, epilepsy-like seizures and it adds no increased risk of dementia. They were similar only in the fact that I could not remember the seizure after it passed. The medication has absolutely NO side effects concerning dementia.

Traumatic brain injury even concussion increases ones risk of dementia.
Clearly ramps up with frequency see football be that American or English
plus Rugby for sporting examples.

And epilepsy though that does diminish with time. Ie the risk is mostly in
the first few years post.

Non epileptic seizures tend to have a cause ie low blood sugar and so on,
in general if one is on medication it’s Epilepsy, the doctor maybe being
nice as I’d assume you’d loose your license in uk need to be at least a
year since last seizure.

The seizures are caused by damage to a particular area of the brain and this causes NO increased threat of dementia which is caused by formation of plaques in the veins and it has been 12 years now with no additional symptoms. And I was not allowed to drive for a year and used my bike for everything. This despite the fact that they hadn't discovered my having seizures yet and probably being as much a threat on the bike as in a car. I am under the care of a professor of neurology at Stanford and he is quite honest about any additional possibilities and as long as I continue to take the pills which run about $3,000 per year, I have no problems.

I'm sure that you have a far better education in dementia than a professor or neurology at Stamford University. I am equally sure that the small lapses of memory due to normal aging, you are willing to chalk up as the onset of dementia. Let's just say that you may have your "well documented" opinion since you don't know the cause of dementia

Frank, can you tell me when I did NOT respect education and training? The problem is that you only have
ONE definition and that is sitting in a classroom listing to some horses ass like you drone on as if you had a clue what was going on. It is YOU that don't know what education is and every time you jump on a typographical error it shows yet more plainly. You taught because you could not do.

Frequently. For just one example, you claimed you enrolled in some
college but quit almost immediately because you already knew more than
the professors.

Personally, I think it's more likely that you either never enrolled, or
quickly realized you'd flunk out and therefore dropped out.

You've also said you didn't need education because you "read out" three
libraries.

"I would warrant that I've read more than 20 times more books than you
