  • This is what he means every time he says "small government." Him and his cronies in charge of everything. And this is just another attempt to normalize this disgusting centralization of power, in direct contradiction to everything Canada stands for.

    Fuck off, Pierre, and take your increasingly fascist party with you.

  • Male's haven't been actively repressed as a result of their gender for thousands of years. Simply switching the genders does not work because they're not equitible terms. Systematically speaking, they come from different backgrounds and expectations.

    I take your point that "female" as a durogatory term is relative to the context it's used in. But we can't pretend we've lived in a world of equal opportunity that treats men and women, males and females, equally in trying to make that point.

  • I have no way to respond to this both honestly and in a way that doesn't either inherently insult your intelligence, or call you out for what I believe you are. So, on the off chance that I am mistaken about what your account is, apologies.

    Your citations do not say what you think they say, and the conclusions you are attempting to draw from them are incorrect. You are, in no uncertain terms, using true facts to make dishonest, or simply painfully stupid conclusions. And I think your two month old account which has almost exclusively posted CPC propaganda exists to do this on purpose. Consider building a real platform focused on the needs of Canadian, instead of playing identity politics all day and seeking to tear down political opponents. But, if they did that, the CPC would be a fundamentally different party, so I clearly am asking for too much.

    Stop insulting the intelligence of Canadians everywhere with these inane attempts to mislead us, and fuck off.

  • "Have empathy for the poor" he says, while insisting migrants from 3rd world countries stay where they are.

    I am advocating for empathy first. You are advocating for empathy only after we have ours. Your hypocrisy is palpable.

  • Your "citations" do not say the things that you claim they do.

    Yes, Canada has an issue with migrants workers being treated poorly. The conclusions you draw about this are at best misinformed, and at worst downright lies.

    The CPC is using housing issues as a scapegoat. We can support our immigration markers. We have failed to do so, but the answer isn't to halt immigration; it's to build homes, and enact laws and policies to ensure those homes go to Canadian citizens who intend to live in them. But, as always, conservatives would rather blame brown people than solve problems. What a fuckin' twist.

  • Mhmm. Everyone is shitting on Nintendo, but the reality is their games are literally keeping up with inflation. The problem is that our wages haven't kept up with inflation, and the cost of living has, at least, kept up. In some cases (rent), it's grown faster than the inflation of everything else.

    Don't get me wrong, Nintendo is tone deaf for making this decision now, and I suspect they'd still make billions with a $15 price increase rather than a $30 one. I'm not defending them. But the picture is a lot larger than them.

  • I guess his accomplices never told him: you only get to avoid consequences if you're wealthy.

    I kid, of course. I am sure he said this after leaving his 500k-1mil valued house, and driving to the court in an audi. Sorry, pal, but you might just have to give a couple things up until you tug those bootstraps a little harder. It's what you'd tell anyone else living outside of their means and committing crimes to do.

    Oh no, wait, you wouldn't. You'd look for a way to tie them to a minority group and ask ICE to come pick them up. Fucking fascist.

  • Why let the word "rebel" sit outside of the questions marks? These people aren't rebels, and they're not presenting news. They're actively fighting to give more power to the powerful: the exceedingly wealthy, and those of European Caucasian descent. They are the establishment; the only thing they're rebelling against is the half of the establishment that's content being 3 yachts up on your average Canadian.

  • There's no "sanity" system in Look Outside. The closest thing is a hidden "stress" stat which, last I checked, is literally just combat problems when it gets low.

    That said, Look Outside is a fantastic game, and the Dev is super down to earth and active with his players. Highly recommend.

  • I'd argue that sexual expression is insanely repressed, and that celebrating it openly is more in line with the LGBTQ+ movement than you realize.

    I mean, look at this thread. We have a majority upvoted comment calling this person mentally ill. Another insinuating that they're a child predator. Just for being willing to express a non-normative opinion on sexuality. That's not that different from the right-wing chuds calling trans people mentally ill as the modern stand-in for the r-slur, which in turn is a modern stand-in for "doing a socially unacceptable thing that I don't like and should be ashamed."

    Personally, I think this person's choices are in poor taste. But I get it. I get why someone would want to do this in a world where they're constantly told they're strange and wrong for the way they're wired, so long as that wiring doesn't cause harm to others.

  • I don't inherit the sins of my father solely because of my skin color.

    Correct. We inherit the responsibility to do what we can to make those wrongs right because of the advantages we are afforded by our historical background.

    Because of the family I was born into, I was afforded easy access to food, shelter, and education, and easily able to find success and prosperity. This allows my children the same, and that's, in large part, a result of history. Those coming from less advantaged socio-economic backgrounds do so because, again at least in part, my distant relatives stole from them to my benefit.

    When these issues are divided by skin color, then yes, it is racist to ignore them in their entirety over the argument that we had no direct control over the actions of our forefathers, as we continue to benefit from them today. It's really some trolley problem stuff: we are advantaged by being the ones hanging out around the lever, not tied to the tracks. When we are asked to switch the tracks, or heaven forbid stop the trolley, we should not respond, "it's racist to tell me I should be doing something about this! I didn't build the tracks! I don't own the trolley!" Okay, cool. But they're down there, on the tracks, and we're up here, next to the lever. Call it luck, but by the nature of our birth, we have an advantage that minorities do not. It is not racist to identify that.

    You want genuine people, friend, taking the time to try and discuss these perspectives to someone is about as genuine as it gets. It's not easy to accept that, despite massive personal struggles and relative low wealth and prosperity in a world owned by billionaires, I've been at an advantage just because I was born European descendant Caucasian. Don't mistake disagreement for a lack of authenticity, or being poor of character.

  • And yet we benefit from it every single day all the same, while throwing out hands up and screaming "that isn't on me!"

    We're not responsible for what happened to them then, but we are responsible in what we do about it now. Turning away that responsibility while continuing to reap the benefits is racism.

  • No, you see, they allowed foreign brown people to die on their watch, which is obviously worse than checks notes deporting local brown people with the intent to harm as well?

    /s, just in case someone finds this comment a year later.
