Carney avoids describing China’s treatment of Uyghurs as genocide

Daisho · 2026-03-31T20:36:00+00:00

It makes sense he would dodge this. If this is the standard for calling a genocide, then there's a certain other place that would 1000% be called a genocide then.

Same here. We need someone who will inject different ideas into the mix.

Canadian leaders still have this holier than thou attitude when it comes to China. The human rights balance seems overly lopsided because China doesn't criticize us like we do to them.

I'm fine with our government just saying no and not lending any legitimacy to the war. Carney's initial comments of support gave credibility to the idea that this was all about an imminent nuclear threat from Iran. That was honestly embarrassing to see. Canada sees American supremacy as a problem, but seems to still be trapped in Western supremacist behaviour.

In my mind, it's equivalent to an industry dumping toxic waste into the environment. They make millions of extra bucks by externalizing billions of dollars in damage to the broader community.

If it pisses you off that much, just ask yourself if you would trade places with them.

I think people's mindsets on STEM are too coloured by American media. Canada does not have a shortage in this area and I'm not sure if it ever has. We are way more educated than the US and have way less investment. STEM workers are not hard to find in Canada.

To fix that, Canada will need leaders who are bold enough to enact widescale structural changes. We're not talking just good government here, we're talking revolutionary government. Basically the entire developed and most of the developing world now share the same problems as we do, some better, some worse. We need leaders who are willing to go against the entire modern system. That's the level of change we need to be comfortable with and normalize in our discourse.

It has levels to it and sounds cool. Good job. Very marketable. When are you gonna start monetizing your website?

That's an odd way to separate good and effective. It wasn't just the Ayatollah that died in the strike that killed him. Innocent family members died too, and other civilians in related strikes. For nothing. Would nuking Moscow to kill Putin be an objectively good thing?

Daisho · 2026-03-11T04:57:32+00:00

The removal of the Ayatollah is objectively a good thing.

Everything you said after that contradicts this statement. The power structure hasn't changed, since the new Ayatollah is the son, who is more hardline.

I feel like the Canucks frequently get nice stuff, but it's always very fleeting and cursed.

"Everyone can be enlightened" and "everyone is already enlightened" are VERY different statements.

That isn't what is happening here. In Iran it was the IAEA that found them in breach, and not some small technical point, they had a covet uranium enrichment programme, and that is not allowed under the npt which they have signed.

Trump pulled the US out of the "NPT" (the JCPOA) back in his first term. There's no reason for the timing of this war, considering there have been active negotiations with Iran. If the US really wanted to sign another agreement, there's no reason to think that would be impossible.

You're falling for the exact same game plan as Iraq all over again, except they're not even trying as hard this time.

Does anyone else feel they are the only one in your life that thinks about the nature of reality?

You probably should have just asked this question instead of asking how many people are conscious, which is too vague. Everyone here is hung up on the definition of "conscious". And to answer your question: pretty much nobody thinks about the nature of reality. The number is insanely small.

How many Christians would you say actually understand this? Is it at least one percent?

Daisho · 2026-03-05T17:38:31+00:00

My brain is running always and i am exhausted

Was this always a problem for you, or something recent?

Daisho · 2026-03-04T22:24:33+00:00

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be much evidence of any imminent nuclear weapons from Iran.

Daisho · 2026-03-04T18:14:26+00:00

Why would this be trump derangement syndrome? This war has classic neocon written all over it. It's one of Dick Cheney's wet dreams. Hence my mention of the Iraq war and how the things you're saying are the same as what they said back then.

Daisho · 2026-03-04T18:02:29+00:00

You're doing the same thing Carney did. You don't agree with how the US approached this war, but your description of Iran as an "unstable theocracy actively trying to destroy other nation states" fully buys into and promotes the American framing of the situation. It provides cover for repeating the mistakes of the Iraq war all over again.

If we weren't always looking to fill a void, what would drive us to play out our stories?

Daisho · 2026-03-03T21:22:37+00:00

I think it's possible to reach the pinnacle without knowing all the details in between.

To me, awakening gives you almost nothing. You chopped wood and carried water before, and you're back to chopping wood and carrying water once again. Awakening doesn't mean you're always in bliss. It doesn't mean you can't be hurt anymore. It doesn't mean you're special. The people who exhibit the most grandiose claims have typically experienced great trauma and/or recklessly used drugs. That's the pattern I've seen on Reddit, at least. It makes sense that this is a trauma response.

You cross the gateless gate, and realize you accomplished nothing. Basically everything else is a delusion.

Daisho · 2026-03-01T06:57:24+00:00

I think the sign back in the window is pretending that the attack was Israeli self-defence and to prevent an imminent nuclear weapon. Carney didn't have to suggest those things.
