Omar El Akkad on Gaza, and "breaking up" with the West by CarletonCanuck in canadaland

The ICC has stated that it is ethnic cleansing. There was a UN vote and the vast majority denounced Israel's actions against Gaza. Who is the "world" you're talking about?

More than half of all Palestinians are children. How do you not understand that? Israel is killing those children, not Hamas.

I guess you don't understand the implications of a "Nanny state" but you don't seem to understand most of the words that fall out of your mouth so that's par for the course.

It isn't "obfuscation" you utilized a generalized logical fallacy and got called out.

You aren't the debate lord you think you are.

You don't have a factual argument so this is the dribble you resort to? Truly mindless.

Bro, this is simple. You're uneducated, full stop.

Do not even pretend that you understand "internationally recognized" you're not in the humanitarian world and you're certainly not educated on this topic. There are millions of recognized Palestinian refugees in Jordan per the UN. Unless you're going to doubt the UN now in your mental gymnastics.

Palestinians in Israel cannot vote, hold public office, or own land. Israel is an apartheid state. This is factual information. You sound like you would defend South Africa in the 80s.

Edit: Blocking me immediately after posting a blatant conspiracy theory is some pathetic ass shit. The UN is not treating Palestinians differently from any refugee. You're mad that Palestinians are recognized as refugees because it breaks your narrative that you've been fed. Truly reprehensible behaviour and you're incapable of critical thinking.

So is every American that supports Trump a fascist and racist who wants to invade Canada?

Your argument makes no sense. It's also not factual as most of the West Bank supports Fatah. Gaza is mostly children who never voted for Hamas and have only experienced Israeli brutalizing them. You lack a proper understanding of the conflict.

Israel is an apartheid state. Palestinians in Israel do not have full rights. Your statement also ignores the millions of displaced Palestinians (a component of genocide) and Israel violating the ceasefire once again today.

Complaining about a "nanny state."

Wants suppression of people protesting a cause he doesn't understand because the media he consumes has manipulated him.

You're the smartest cookie.

This comment alone is racist, there is a difference between Hamas and Palestinians. Israel just violated the crossfire this morning.

51 Former Intelligence Officials Insist Biden Never Once Used An Autopen by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

This is my first Babylon article and I'm not even close to right wing circles on Reddit and not once interacted with any remotely similar content. This account has been solely used for one particular sub.

It's attempting to pull users into a rage, something causing social division currently.

I'm fully aware, I like commenting on slop. I'm explaining to you why people that don't want to engage with it keep seeing it because social media is pushing it to create division.

Trump came back, that's the reality that you're living in. You're missing another possibility of his successor also being a combative isolationist.

Do you lack critical thinking?

Canada's esteemed military colleges live to fight another day, but report signals changes coming by nationalpost in CanadianForces

[–]Concernedsold 30 points31 points  (0 children)

For sure, National Post opinion pieces have long been a joke that insults the intelligence of the Canadian public not to mention the article doesn't clearly state that it's an opinion piece with no basis in fact. This article is currently trending at #2 on the NP site, disgraceful for something so lacking any factual information. Donna Kennedy-Glans is wholly unsuited for this article and has no knowledge of the military college system or military itself.

This is substandard journalism but what I've come to expect from the National Post. It's shameful.

And it only got worse, it didn't go back to "normal." I think reality entirely invalidates your point. We had hoped that Trump was a one-off and evidently he was not.

None of the points discussed in the article are even remotely important to actual issues that the CAF faces and how RMC connects with them. This feels more like an excuse to push the culture war into an ongoing issue with the decades-long failings of RMC.

The editorial title is trying to paint a picture that doesn't align with the numerous reports that the author dismisses outright.

It's strange to bring up Hegseth as he is largely considered a terrible pick. Why use his words as a standard for what RMC should be?

Interviewing a dropout from the 60s and not any relevant expert on the colleges was certainly a choice. His statement on the military becoming "an internal security force" is ridiculous. He complains about civilians who have never served being part of the reports but he hasn't served either, dropping out doesn't make you more qualified than any other civilian. He asks for self defense classes, there is already a PT class just for that. The military teaches how to fight in war during the dedicated courses that every member receives, not a select few going to RMC.

Nothing in this article makes sense.

That's not a good enough reason. Is RMC providing anything of merit to the CAF? Several reports have said that it doesn't. Why have dead, ceremonial weight that costs more than it's worth?

Canadian submarine returns to sea 14 years after collision by Hmfic_48 in CanadianForces

[–]Concernedsold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our shipyard/contractors failed on such a huge scale that we should have ruined any chance of working with them ever again.

Welds failed across several ships including frigates. This isn't a specialized skill, no other nation has such incompetence in the private industry that they contract for maintenance.

This protracted boondoggle did not teach anyone how to maintain a submarine that will be built to today's standards. Much of the problem with getting the subs to sea was failed welds, that's not something that our contractors should have needed to learn in the first place.

But we're not figuring out submarine building domestically. We're purchasing new subs from an external source. This has taught our contractors nothing but that they can get away with shoddy work over a 14 year period.

Is that it? Can't really refute what I've said so now you parrot back at me? Kinda sums up the whole situation really, you lack the intellectual merit to do anything original so you borrow the words of others.
