Oh I was being facetious here, and I very much agree with everything you’re saying here. We live under the dictatorship of capital, and they only throw us enough scraps so that we don’t riot.

Imagine being so utterly depraved that you’re trying to create nuance around slavery.

It’s absolutely incredible to me that libs are funneling 3.8 billion to buy jets from the US, and funneling who knows how much money into these AI pyramid schemes instead of investing in things like our healthcare system, infrastructure, housing, or domestic industry. Our government will spend money literally on anything else other than actually improving living conditions in the country. And people wonder why the far right continues to be a growing force in Canada.

yeah it’s a really powerful editor that can handle tasks you’d normally use a few different apps for

oh look another opinion over from lobotomy.world

A sharp dismissal of absurdity draws a clear line, shows others they don’t have to entertain every bad argument, and prevents the conversation from being derailed. If you want to spend your life debating trolls then go ahead and do that.

I’m not pretending I have some moral high ground here. However, doing hand wringing about decorum while ignoring the fact that wampus here is trying to dismiss a study on Canada’s role in colonialism is focusing entirely on the wrong thing.

You seem to be doing a lot of projecting. I Iove how you just keep replying with one word salad after another in sad attempts to act like you’re some sort of an intellectual, while it’s evident that you lack even the most basic reading comprehension. Amazing how you’re able to make an analysis of a paper based on having read half a paragraph. You must really get off on making a clown of yourself in public.

Yup, you’ve cracked the code! The deep, philosophical truth is that free samples exist so we can say ‘yuck.’ My mind is reeling from this Socratic revelation. Truly, we have a giant of philosophy on our hands here.

I love how your entire defense rests on the intellectual rigor of taste testing an abstract. The first paragraph didn’t emotionally gratify me, therefore the entire argument is invalid is a peer-review methodology I’ve only ever seen in YouTube comments. But please, tell me more about thicker skin from the person who wrote a whole paragraph because they did not like a teaser. 🤣

Oh, bless your heart. It must be so freeing to judge an entire book by its cover, or in your case, a whole article by its first paragraph. Your razor sharp critique of “big words” really shows you’ve mastered the art of reading. Maybe one day you’ll graduate to the second paragraph. We’re all rooting for you.

you mean the Gestapo since GDR was integrated into the west German model

My favorite part is how dems judiciously avoid discussing the elephant in the room which is that it is their own policies that disenfranchise the public.

Or perhaps Canada should just not be selling weapons to fascists in the first place.

Yeah, you kind of have to play it by ear. I find a big red flag is when somebody just starts regurgitating well known tropes that have been discussed to death. That’s usually a clear sign they’re just here to stir shit up.
