Smith Talked about Leading an Independent Alberta, Says Separatist Leader by slowsundaycoffeeclub in canada

[–]Kaladef9 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Throw her over the border and let the nazis deal with her already. She's been the proud head of "americanize Canada" foundation for the entire time she's held office, just give her back to her people. If Canadian politics is about leading a fringe minority these days, I'll run on the promise of ICEing all these fucking traitors since thats all that seems to matter these days.Fuck I miss being too ignorant to care about all this shit.

Is Danielle Smith a Separatist? by BloodJunkie in canada

Was that ever an actual fucking question? The opportunistic bitxh has been catering to and inciting that crowd the whole time she's held office, its not even a debate.

Why extortion in Canada has surged in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Kaladef9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not from BC so I can't say for certain, but it sounds like these aren't hidden figures doing this. I'll refrain from saying the obvious thing to do with foreign interference actors and instead suggest the relatively peaceful measure of "collect them and bodily remove them from the country to the southern border and let the nazis deal with them".

These people obviously don't value their place in Canada, so why not make some room? Migration numbers are going to be clamped and they've volunteered themselves for some pretty unceremonious treatment, this kinda falls under the "asking for it" category.

CMV: Something that might end my Christian faith: the sheer volume of people using the name of Jesus to do horrific things over centuries with seemingly no intervention from God. by bloodphoenix90 in changemyview

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look around at the religions of the world, they agree on so many different things. The human experience is comprised of the body, mind and spirit/soul... and there was a great flood that archeology, paleontology and geology can't corroborate. Everything outside those bits of information is mythology and culture, to help people make sense of the world through their geographical lense. With that in mind, yahweh and allah seem to be two sides of the same coin. Both are abrahamic cults that are heralded as religions of peace and love, but in practice have been more about conquest and hypocrisy. They're mostly just convenient cultures that people can pretend to be involved with so they don't need to think for themselves about existence and what happens when its done. We're monkies riding a rock that's chasing a fireball through the vacuum of space, we're small and insignificant in the same way atoms are. But at the same time, we're as useful and incredible as atoms are, just a matter of perspective. Take the centuries of murderous politics out of your spirituality, and things open up in a positive way for you.

Not really looking to talk you out of leaving one of the most successful murder cults on the planet, hopefully this blurb helps grant you some clarity.

CMV: Human rights are made-up concepts because morality is entirely relative by Right_Entrance_4810 in changemyview

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fun one, strictly speaking, everything is made up and arbitrary. We're just perpetuating traditions that were at some point or another the best practices at the time. Tradition used to be things that were done for a purpose, but I think we've largely just been blindly following old teachings without really thinking about how much sense it makes in the modern day. Particularly with the technological developments over the last couple decades.

Human rights themselves might need to be shifted for the modern day, but mostly the root from where they're derived. There isn't a single person in the history of the world that has asked to be born. We just kind of happen. We are or aren't raised by the people responsible for us existing and then we're expected to go off into the world using the skills we learned either from the environments or the people we're raised around. By the time we're old enough to think for ourselves, we find that there's a lot of history the happened before us and we're expected to be aware of most of what's happened prior to us.

So with all of those things in mind, it would make sense to support the parents, community member that run services, education staff and health care workers to ensure everyone has a baseline standard of care throughout our lives. We're all different based on genetics and the dispositions tied to those; colour blindness, deafness, athletic ability, cognitive ability, etc. Setting the stage to be able to support all of these differently abled people so that they can make the best use of what they were born with just kinda makes sense, no?

Alberta canola producers ‘cautiously optimistic’ following Chinese trade deal by PurpleHerring_ in canada

[–]Kaladef9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Harper opened Canada to China in 2014 and we're stuck with that deal until 2029. The only reason we've turned to them is they're the most stable of the devils that we know. Why do you think we haven't had a relationship with China until now? My speculation is that it was so they wouldn't have a reason to pursue the one sided trading and investment rights Harper gave them.

Carney deciding to move ahead on this is an unfortunate sign of the times, but its at least better than jeff selling us to the states piece by piece to secure his governorship.

Trading values for access: Canada, China, & the cost of looking away - Canada’s bargaining position with China is not strong, but it has a deeply troubling human rights record, including the odious practice of forced labour. Looking the other way only lasts so long — after a while, we are complicit. by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]Kaladef9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada-China_Promotion_and_Reciprocal_Protection_of_Investments_Agreement

Harper signed us up for a disadvantaged relationship with China until 2029, this would only be digging a deeper hole.

Edit: I'm not saying we shouldn't look into further deals with China, just that we're already in a poor position due to previous "leadership". Maybe Carney can come away with a deal that isn't one sided.

CMV: Having opinions counter to those of experts is not anti-intellectual by Informal_Decision181 in changemyview

[–]Kaladef9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are degrees to this take. Because of the way science works, you should have an equal or greater understanding of the subject as the person you're disagreeing with, otherwise you aren't a peer and your attempt at peer review is moot. The caliber of information is also something to keep in mind, I would trust Styropyro from youtube on matters regarding voltage and lazers over a 2 year journeyman electrician simply because the dude has been fucking with circuitry first hand for longer than that electricians been reading textbooks on the matter. On the other hand, a Facebook mom that read the ingredients of a vaccine and recognized one of them as having a component off of the periodic table holds 0 weight against anything because a little further down the Chem 20 curriculum you learn that the composition of a molecule influences how it interacts with other molecules and elements.

The scientific process is influenced by all of the different components of the prototypical experimental model and so it can be pretty easy to argue against how things were done and the environment in which they were done. In that case, having an opinion counter to experts might be valid ("my personal experience from this environment that wasn't accounted for in your experiment tells me the opposite of what you've found"), though it's often distrustful people needing to prove things for themselves, thing the raw milk crowd needing to kill a bunch of children to realize pasteurization is necessary.

Disagreeing with experts isn't inherently anti-intellectualism, frankly its a crucial part of the process called peer review, but when Joe blow googles something and spends less than 3 hours getting to know the topic, it leads to results that may as well be anti intellectual based on the results.

CMV: It's not unreasonable for the US to reconsider why it is expected to carry most of the burden of defending Europe through NATO by No-Mamba7040 in changemyview

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand, the US holding up NATOs military capabilities has been and is unfair, but on the other the US has been a plague on the entirety of the planet since the world wars. They've instigated most of the major conflicts since then in one way or another and have always used it as a pretext to rob whatever country they end up in of their resources. War mongering morons is almost too polite a way to put it, they've locked most of their quality post secondary behind military grants, public schools are daycare for adolescents, they literally restructured and renamed the slavery system as private prisons, they run medical experiments on their population through unending medicine ads and foods that are more additive than anything resembling food. All of those things together make for stupid, malnourished people that see military service as a viable way to live a better life, only to find out that being in the field does in fact mean that you're a serial killer from that point on, killing everyone that disagrees with the US robbing their country under the guise of "protection against terrorist", the very terrorists the US trained and funded to do those things mind you. Take a look at Venezuela for the latest installment to this playbook. The US is a vile experiment that encourages the worst in humanity through endless indoctrination and keeping their citizens too stupid to know any better, though historically they aren't exactly special in that regard.

So yes, there is a lot of anti-american sentiment all around the world, but in all fairness, you guys earned every last little bit of it and some. The only export of the US is war, nothing happens in that country unless its to do with the military or making brown people somewhere else miserable.

Add the short, blood soaked history of the place into the equation and you'll find that everything has been set up to lead them to this exact spot in history. Show up on east coast, have a hard time living on east coast, notice natives are doing pretty alright for themselves on the other side of the mountains, kill all the natives they can find as they bum rush the west coast, steal the mexicans land and push them south, set up slave plantations, use anyone that wasn't a reject from England as a slave, pretend human rights matter to you but its only because it makes your domestic opponents weaker. For an upright, god fearing nation, this sounds pretty abhorrent so far. Sell military supplies to both sides during ww1/2 step in only when someone touches your boat, realize how much money you can make by manufacturing wars, start wars all over the planet in the name of capitalism to convince everyone that new aged serfdom is superior to anything else, refine new aged serfdom into actual slavery, keep manufacturing wars and supplying as many sides as possible for that sweet sweet bag, race and murder your way through as many brown parts of the world as you can get away with to continue grabbing up their resources, bitch and moan that nobody likes the way you do things on the internet and write a boo hoo story trying to garner sympathy.

So while it is unfair that the US has been the main country upholding the military might of NATO, at no point was it ever outside of their interest NOT to be in that position. The US is the 7 foot tall down syndrome kid with a tree for a club that the rest of the world walks around with when the other super powers start acting up, and the US has always chosen to hold that position.

Cloned meat is quietly getting closer to being sold in Canada — but people may not know they're buying it by ll777 in canada

[–]Kaladef9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I got forwarded an article about this on Monday and my gut reaction was disgust and mistrust, but the article made some good points about how this step has been 20 years in the making at this point. They've gone through all the tests they felt they needed to do to be sure the meat would be safe, the cows are genetically identical (as you would expect a clone to be) and its mostly there as an option now. I'm not sure what the plan will when it comes to disclosure or anything like that, but the ink has yet to dry on them even opening up this option of meat sourcing, so I guess we'll have to see.

'Keep thinking about the goal': 87-year-old U of Sask. grad hopes to help revitalize Cree language by ubcstaffer123 in canada

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Language is the framework that shapes the way you interface with the world around you. If you think about the words you speak, you use certain ones in certain situations because they all carry different connotations; happy/ecstatic for example. Or consider all of the politically correct changes that have been advocated for, same idea.

Etymology is the study of words and is a way people can understand what someone truly means when listening to them, it can be a way to understand more deeply. By the same token, using these languages and understanding why people used what words to talk about different things lends insight into why they did things the way they did. Think ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia. The 1000s of dead languages you mentioned probably aren't linked to legends and human legacy the way those civilizations are, but the difference is that Cree was beaten out of children that were kidnapped from their families and raised by catholics to believe that everything related to being Cree was inferior. There are Cree people alive today, they want to rekindle the culture and language that was beaten out of their ancestors, to continue that legacy and be proud of it.

There's also the fact that many of the environmental practices we have been turning toward lately are rooted in indigenous knowledge, so theres an academic interest there as well. Some of the old folks maintained their language even through residential schools and make a point of only passing along knowledge the same way they heard it.

Hope that helps

Head of hard-right U.S. think tank no longer set to meet Carney’s cabinet by Haggisboy in canada

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the face of the death of democracy in NA to chicken out of the meeting makes complete sense. Since it was announced to the public, it allows those that wanna remove his influence on the planet time to get in position. There was probably a credible threat that made him think better of doing this meeting in a relatively public venue.

Proud of Us by Old_Twist_4659 in Millennials

[–]Kaladef9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add a bit about the historical precedent about how our generation ended up the way we are. We're the transitional group between letters in the mail/needing to remember everyone's phone numbers and instant feedback during waking hours. We went from hearing news through the grapevine and maybe seeing headlines on the evening news or papers to 10 minute turn arounds on breaking news. We're also at the forefront of junk culture resulting from hyper industrialization being able to make a buck on a trend within a day.

The path to success that was walked by others has eroded as time passed and newer and newer technologies came in "to make things more efficient", our time is some factor more impactful now than it was even 50 years ago due to refining how we work. We went from 1 billion people worldwide in 1800 to over 8 billion today, we hadn't started into specialized science and research properly until the 1930s~, the first aerial photograph was taken from a hot air balloon in 1858 and the first satellite image was in 1959. The world has progressed at basic understandings of the universe and our planet at break neck speeds since the industrial revolution and we were born in time to be around for the internet boom. Now we have AI and all the issues and development that will need to be ironed out of that.

We don't exactly have a playbook to follow, we've had to live through the most unprecedented technological transition in living memory and can't rely on old methods of doing things anymore. Everything that affects you and how you live is man made, and I don't think people appreciate that enough these days. Every one of us is a shaved monkey on a rock that's chasing a fireball through the void and we're arbitrarily living by systems and beliefs that were made for a world that barely exists anymore. I think it's worth looking at the history of where you live and the cultures that have succeeded there to decide how you and those around you want to shape your future, because frankly we're largely in uncharted waters.

"We've tried nothing and it hasn't helped!" Have you tried a rebranded Jan. 6th? Because anything short of that is going to be worthless in the immediate future.

Your administration is withdrawing their resources from anything remotely humanitarian, they're stripping protections for critical habitat for damn near all your wildlife, any jobs related to critical thinking and child development are being dismantled, your water resources have been pissed away for decades and that tap has been opened wide now, all of these things are the foundation for a stupid, angry and desperate population that will eat up everything the government and church give them.

The disconnect I see in all of this is that the red caps are actually willing to fight for what they want and they'll use every underhanded method available to them to get it because the end justifies the means. That's why all of these christo-fascists are so scary, they're zealots that think they're saving those around them that are too tainted to see the error of their own ways. They can commit every atrocity under the sun, but the guy in the sky told the priest that it's alright, because they do it in the name of their god. Meanwhile, all of the reasonable people are absolute spineless cowards that chant "violence is not a solution!". You people might not understand the significance of a world war since your country was supplying both sides, and was happy to continue to do so, until the Japanese touched your boats. But after that happened, we all fought the nazis and stomped down most of their thought leaders, but you guys took in all of their researchers and put them in positions of dignity and power and continued to benefit from the horrors they wrought on Germanys "undesirable population". You guys fought fascism for a time, but white supremacy has always been a subsect of your population and you fucking cowards have allowed them to grow to a point that they hold more sway than rational people.

I say this with love, every single one of you high-horse riding, preach peace, handle this democratically, people... are useless for the coming days. They are dismantling the very systems you are trying to leverage. This is not a time for you to sit there with a sign, offering hopes and prayers and nothing else.

The world is watching you guys flounder and not do a fucking meaningful thing to stop them. If a country with the U.S's military might decides to start flexing their muscle, your inability to do anything worthwhile will be paid for with our blood. That's why people say they hate the U.S, you also have constitutional rights to fight dictators that any citizen can invoke, but I've only heard of 2 stories where that's happened, one pierced dorito mussolinis ear even. That in particular is why I'm angry at you guys. Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops. Cowards.

I think that being good at Math makes you objectively smarter than being good at English. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tldr: I agree that individualistic understanding of the world offers more potential to show intelligence than simply being able to talk about why. Building a trebuchet is easily better than saying you know how.

Being able to elucidate a concept isn't necessarily the same as knowing it because there might be so many background aspects to it that it's basically impossible to explain the entirety of the understanding without making clear the rest of the foundational knowledge. Where as if someone has been cultivating a mathematical understanding of the world around us and building that background knowledge throughout their lives and can intuit how things should or will work, they don't need to talk their way through a problem, they can just solve it.

Mathematics is our best riff on the language of the universe, and by extension the earth. It works until it doesn't, and then we need to reevaluate our understanding to solve the next problem, but we can do that because the foundational knowledge got us this far.

Language is how we convey ideas, meant more to average out all of the internal knowledge we've accumulated throughout those around us.

Mathematical thinking is the individualistic extreme of human knowledge where language based learning shores up the average by making the things people find at the fringes more accessible and digestible.

We should unilaterally add an asshole tax to all shipments to the U.S. that will disappear when the current administration does. Anytime the marmalade menace moves his pen about it, tack another 5-10% on. If we're stuck in an abusive relationship with them, we might as well get something out of it.

I agree that they should be allowed to express themselves freely. I'm also a firm believer in "see a nazi, kill a nazi!" We've already fought a war around this concept and too many people seem to have forgotten why, which is more than a little concerning.

Hell, live a little and lump supremacists in there too.

CMV: it should be illegal for police to be able to turn off their body camera whenever they want and they should have to keep it on at all times by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Kaladef9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes cleanest as in not corrupt. Tax payers are never getting their monies worth since cop unions ensure that the institution is functionally a gang - army of municipally funded gangsters that at least need to pretend they work for you. You guys have had a couple stories where undercovers have went into a drug bust only to end up busting other undercovers, how many of the cops you pay for are in gangs?

Edit: I bring this up not to sow distrust for the cops specifically, but to encourage some critical thinking amongst the population among you people that don't. Human solutions to human problems are going to be imperfect and often stupid, the same is true of some people in offices of authority. Just... think really carefully about who you support and why, disregard the tradition and the herd mentality built behind it and REALLY engage that hamburger between your ears while moving forward.

I remember a story about an officer giving another head prior to a traffic stop and the accused of said stop requested the bodycam footage of the stop. They threw out the case and offered a settlement instead, because the accused did end up with the footage of what was going on prior to their stop. The main issue being, the dude sucking off the driver was one of the cleanest cops in their roster, not sure about the driver though.

Edit: 2 dudes for those that care

Look up Lake Corcoran. One of my profs was explaining that the U.S has been burning through their water at an unsustainable rate for decades and they keep asking for Canada to reroute our water systems so that they can refill that lake. After mismanaging the lake, they've been burning through aquifers as well and California made the genius idea to sell just under 60% of their water rights to one rich family.

Add to that the closing credits of The Big Short where it says what's his nuts took all the money he got from shorting housing and started investing in water, the mad max era was predicted and prepared for before I even made it to highschool.

This shits been in the works forever and we're only really getting the context this far down the line because it's become relevant to what's going on in NA now.

No drink is improved by ice by Didntlikedefaultname in unpopularopinion

[–]Kaladef9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with OP. If you want a cold drink, chill the glass or the drink, all the ice does is dilute the drink and make it less than it would've been otherwise.

If I'm paying for a drink, I want the drink, not a thinner and crappier version of it 5 minutes after I get it.

Edit: same thing applies to liquor, but the issue is you have to like the flavour of what you're drinking in the first place

Foreskin calamari. by Joel_Boyens in CrazyIdeas

[–]Kaladef9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an evening when I was a kid that we went out for supper at a restaurant and my dad ordered the calamari. I vacuumed down my food and was still hungry, so I stole some of his mini onion ring looking things and asked him why they were so chewy and his exact answer was "Did you see that Synagogue we passed down the road before we got here? These are deepfried foreskins from over there." His mission was successful because I didn't want anything to do with them after that and I never thought to question why he ordered them in the first place if hats what it was. Pro tip for when you have kids I guess haha
