The you have lost the only thing that separates us from them. Once you start to dehumanized the enemy, you become the enemy.

That’s a different thing than what they were suggesting. They said “Massive purge and/or reeducation prison camps for all theists”. That’s not what I’m about. That sounds like fascist shit.

I also don’t know. That’s why it was phrased as a question. I’m not from where you are from. I come from a different country. I asked you a question about a possibility based on my knowledge, and you just tried to gotcha me. What does that do for you? Make you feel superior?

I’m literally just asking questions. I’m not presenting any evidence, I’m not even really making an argument. I’m just devils advocating your spamming that OP is Canadian just because they live in Toronto. As if everybody who lives in Toronto is Canadian.

Some Canadians live in the U.S. too. There are even people who come from both countries. There are people that have multigenerational history in both countries.

Canadian and American culture are inextricably linked. Being mad at my country doesn’t change that, and that kind of arrogance will only doom you to repeat our failures.

What economy would Canada have without the U.S., honestly? We’re all kind of entangled here in North America. I know you guys are all pissed at us right now, but it was not that long ago that people would call Canada “America’s little brother” endearingly

I know it SAYS they live in Toronto, but they also said “Third Grade” and not “Grade Three”, as would be proper in Canada. Maybe it’s possible they are from the U.S. and currently live in Canada?

It’s almost like sometimes people move…

Nothing that you said contradicted anything that I said. We are agreeing.

I have BIG problems with organized religion. But I fucking draw that line at “reeducation camps”. Wtf

This is true about almost every vice. That’s why Prohibition didn’t work. Almost as soon as alcohol was banned, people started making very adulterated products, people died, organized crime became a thing. It’s the same idea with cannabis, sex work, other drugs, etc. The result of prohibition is almost always people getting hurt.

When I was in school I called my teachers liars/misinformed/uninformed all the time. I just didn’t have chatgpt to summarize why, so I actually had to read a book if I wanted to make that claim and back it up. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with your professor, you shouldn’t trust anything that anyone says blindly, ESPECIALLY FUCKING CHATGPT

It’s this. Everybody else’s take us missing this. I play a BUNCH of musical instruments, and when people are like, “Oh wow, how did you learn to play all of those. You must be so talented!” And I always say, “Time. Time and a lot of practice. And most importantly a LOT of patience with myself”.

The thing is, to get good at something, you have to be bad at it first. And many people simply do not have the passion to keep pushing through the part where they’re bad at it.

Yi Haw!!!
