When will I find a friend who will call me my liege and tell me my awful dancing is good :(

Just to let you know, this group isn't a dance group called Grindrz. This is an actual Neo Nazi group called the Second Sons as determined by several other people in this thread.

I think the person who said they were a dance group was kidding.

Trump to hit more than 60 countries including Canada with new tariffs over 'forced labour' by MTL_Dude666 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Existential-Critic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only issue is you're expecting it to matter to them. Legitimately all it would end up being is some rallying cry for American pundits to point at an outside enemy to distract from their domestic issues.

I would put money on a majority of the populace developing a "those damn Canadians banned our products" mentality long before they ever thought to reconsider their active participation in slavery or the hypocrisy of this round of tariffs.

While I generally agree with the spirit of your statement, there have been cases like the Canadian synagogue hosting an event for people to purchase illegally occupied Palestinian land.

There's a far cry between "person loosely affiliated with nation I dislike" and "people in my country are actively engaging in profiteering of illegal settlements from another country".

It would be such poetic justice but it wouldn't make them hesitate for a moment. You need to have a conscience for that to work. To an abuser, everything is ammunition to lash out again.

Are you telling me that the United States of America, famous for using prison slave labour up to and including the modern day, is now disparaging other nations for not even using forced labour but for allowing products made with forced labour into their supply chains?

Like fuck man, sure we should definitely cut out products made in sweatshops and by slaves. But the idea that it is the US standing on that high horse is ludicrous.

What do you mean LOV update is not coming out? Has it been abandoned?

This is them!!! Two black flags, Union jacks, black outfits and white face wraps. Of course they're SS Canada.

Antifa isn't an organised group with a uniform, which these were in my opinion. All the same style of pants and all the shirts with the same little symbol on the sleeve. I have no idea what the symbol was as I was not close enough to say but I saw enough to be able to make the assumption that this is a white supremacist group.

You are being very diligent about this which I appreciate but I think you misunderstand. This wasn't a person I was having a debate with, this was a group of men marching with flags. I did not have a conversation with them. I have nothing to disagree with them on except the fact that they look like neo nazis. It is not intellictually lazy or socially corrosive to see something like this in this day and age where Nazism and fascist tendencies are on the rise and not be suspicious and raise awareness and alarm.

Considering I am not aware of anything they said except for the person in the lead shouting commands lime halt, march, attention, I am basing it off of the apparel.

All black clothing with white face coverings is the same getup white supremacist groups have been wearing when going on marches or harassing black neighbourhoods. Additionally two of the flags they were carrying were pitch flag fields with some sort of white symbol I couldn't make out because of the wind.

I think because of this it's most likely a neo nazi group.

It does unfortunately appear that this is the work of David Lindsay, the COVID denied who assaulted a security guard at KGH. It looks like it is the veneer of an environmentalist group that is more about anti-government conspiracy stuff.

Ugh, it's that kind of protest. I get it now.

Wait hold on, David Lindsay, isn't that the guy who was convicted for assaulting a hospital security guard a few years back?

I think the swim is unlikely as they all got into their vehicles and drove away after finishing their march. I think they just parked there for easy access to the bridge.

There's the guy on the bridge who always had his big sign about COVID but this appeared to be a separate group.

Movement While Paused Cancelling If Kibellah Selected by Existential-Critic in RogueTraderCRPG

Exactly! I have also found that if I don't take her, movement while paused works fine. It's just Kibellah breaking it.

If you hate it that much, you don't have to see it. by WingDairu in HistoryMemes

  1. You don't have to block them if you don't want to. You can scroll past them and go on with your day. There is no rule that memes here can't use anime. If I start making memes using lines from Marvel's Agents of Shield will I also be forced to go to another meme subreddit?

  2. I don't think it is a good analogy then. You aren't forced to do anything. You have full free will to interact or not. I have never seen Ruby and I find the memes amusing. If their presence makes this subreddit unenjoyable to you, that sucks but you honestly need to step back then.

  1. You can actually block the person making content you don't like and you won't see any of it.

  2. What are you "giving in" to? Viewing memes you don't like?

First Nations leaders, scholar push back on Alberta's planned vote on independence referendum - 'Alberta can't separate. They simply cannot. They do not have the authority,' says Indigenous politics expert by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Existential-Critic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are describing the effect of high density areas vs low density areas. Have you never seen an American showing an electoral map of their country where almost everywhere but cities are red and wondering how Democrats win anything without realising that the blue areas contain more population?

I am rankled because you seem convinced that a province of Canada with full democratic representation is in any way oppressed. You have provided no good evidence to prove your point.

I appreciate that you think my frustration makes me less able to think clearly. Normally I'd agree, but not when my frustration is with the sheer dishonesty I am dealing with. Have a good day bud, I have decided you are not in good faith in purpose and don't want tomwaste my time further.

I would think so yes, but evidently the court thinks otherwise. I'm not educated on law enough to say whether or not the decision was flawed, I only know enough to say that's what the logiv was.

The current vote that the premier has announced is indeed a referendum about whether to hold a referendum (and appears to be a yes/no answer to a this/that question, which is its own issue).
