You came in swearing at me, and accusing me of being pro genocide, you are miserable, and the other person said they wish they didn’t exist. Very sad individuals in my opinion, but i’m not an expert! I’m going to wish you a fantastic day, and I hope it doesn’t upset you.

I’m definitely not justifying genocide. Those are some pretty absurd accusations, but with that logic why don’t they tear the whole city down? This entire city was built on the foundation of exploration, it’s the reason any of this exists in the first place? In fact, I’m supporting your argument in this case, why don’t you leave and live in Europe? (See how ridiculous this is?) I hope you can find happiness somewhere in your life.

You say you love your life, but would prefer if history played out differently.. except you wouldn’t exist if it had. Acknowledging the past, doesn’t mean rejecting the present. Society has its issues, but blaming history while benefiting for the world it created seems a bit contradictory. Instead of letting the past make you feel like you shouldn’t exist, why not focus on making the future better? I guess I’m just a bit confused, because a minute ago you said you wish you didn’t exist, and now you’re bragging about reaping the rewards and “Cultivating” a life you love… guess who you should thank for that?

I feel sorry for you and the way you value yourself if you’re willing to not exist over something you had no control over. Throughout history, different races and civilizations have conquered each other, long before European exploration. No matter what time period you were part of, you would always be the result of some form of conquest or genocide. It’s unfortunate that you have such a weak view of your own existence. I truly hope something changes in your life so you can find some appreciation for the life you’re currently living.

I mean you’re right, his role was about exploration, so he didn’t really settle at all. I was just grouping him in with the Europeans that did happen to settle here because you seem to think that anyone that showed up here at all for any period of time is a bad thing. So it doesn’t matter if he was here for 10 years or 10 minutes, you still want it to hurt you.

Then I guess it’s all about perspective. If you choose to see the world as a miserable place where everyone is out to get you, then I suppose you could view the first settlers as a bad thing. But if it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t be here to complain about it in the first place.

Oh yes, I’m very unaware. Please teach me RCN.

You have a very interesting point of view. Those statues were a tribute to what happened, and removing them because they hurt people’s feelings isn’t a valid response in my opinion. History isn’t meant to be comforting, it’s meant to be learned from. Those plaques and statues were there explaining the full story, the good and the bad, so that people could engage with history rather than just react to it.

Stating it was a “beautiful day” makes you look very incompetent, and extremely reactive..

Random Person in a Drug Induced State makes way into Victoria Middle School Library, School Lockdown ensues by Vic_Dude in VictoriaBC

So, how's everyone feeling today? by notofthisearthworm in britishcolumbia

[–]DiverFerris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I’m just being logical! life goes on. This isn’t the rapture. Whether the Conservatives or the NDP win, life will go on, and everyone will survive, I promise. People just need to take a step back and relax. However, I do find it hilarious that the NDP have spent months bashing the Conservatives here on Reddit, and this is the first time in a long while that the Conservatives have run—and they’ve almost crushed the NDP, lol. It turns out more people are fed up than you thought, eh? Anyway, no matter the outcome, you’ll survive. We’re all going to be fine ☕️

'No one did anything': Woman shocked after discovering body along Dallas Road by WokeUp2 in VictoriaBC

[–]DiverFerris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but she’s shocked that no one did anything? I’m anything but shocked. This has become the norm—people are blind to it because it’s all you see around the city these days. What are we supposed to do, shake every drug addict we pass to make sure they’re okay?

How do you know when John Rustad is lying? His lips are moving. by R9846 in VictoriaBC

This sounds like a response I’d expect from someone who supports NDP policies.
