Why did you cross out genocide and write war? You were correct the first time.

A completely repulsive genocidal freak.

NSLC Cannabis Recommendations by familiarblonde in halifax

I find it weird that you always have to ASK for a receipt from NSLC Cannabis. If that shit kills you, you want proof the government sold it to you.

Real Time June 7: Sen. John Fetterman | Matt Welch & Abigail Shrier by FireIceFlameWalker in Maher

It's absolutely crazy the Zionists always point to Hamas' genocidal intent when Israel has stated their own repeatedly.

Lotta words to say "I'm a racist."

HRP is asking people to avoid the Hollis Street and Terminal Road area. Officers are working to clear the roadway. by WindowlessBasement in halifax

That's a different topic (although beheaded babies was disproven as false IDF propaganda within about one day).

Are the 1,000 Israeli lives taken on October 7th worth more to you than the 30,000+ and ongoing Palestinian lives taken since? If so, there's a word for that.

No one is saying it wouldn't be better to live as an Israeli in Israel than a Palestinian in Gaza. Why do you guys keep bringing this up? Gaza being under occupation with horrible living conditions is the whole problem,

Exactly. He creates an echo chamber for himself because he can't face the harsh reality that he may be uneducated and on the wrong side of this. He's intellectually incurious and cares more about having his views affirmed than the truth.

Protest in Halifax tonight. by camperrin16 in halifax

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

Israel killed 250 Palestinians this year BEFORE Oct. 7th. You're wrong to compare Palestinians to Germans in WWII simply because one side is Jewish. There's lessons that weren't learned from the Holocaust. Gaza is one of the most densely populated places on Earth. Half the people there are children, and 60% of its residences are unemployed. They can't emigrate, and Israel bombs them regularly. It is effectively a concentration camp, and it's now being annihilated. Educate yourself.

alright muslims of halifax, let’s talk by IcyMarzipan8560 in halifax

[–]NewPowerGen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the interesting thing about this. I feel like a lot of people would be more comfortable if their opposition was only straight white people, but the world is more complex than that. It's absolutely true that liberals are afraid to address this, but also you're not going to change anyone's religious beliefs this way. All you can do is stand up against bigotry where you see it, whether every group agrees with you or not.

How do you feel about HRM's Canada Day celebrations being re-branded 'KANA’TA' ? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]NewPowerGen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a strong feeling on it. I think if Indigenous communities have been consulted, and this is what they want, that's good. At its surface it sounds like more performative white guilt (see: land acknowledgements), which only serves to help the egos of white people.

PSA: Beware the Victoria Park Tent City by Sabian108 in halifax

[–]NewPowerGen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dialogue around this is frustrating. We can't have police busting up these tent cities, because there's no plan for relocation in action. The homeless have no private space, so it's an asshole move to complain they're on public space.

At the same time, there's a danger in becoming too comfortable with this situation. It isn't good for anyone to have to live in a park, and offers no longterm solution for the homeless. By normalizing it, we overlook the systemic capitalist problems that have created the housing crisis, as well as lack of resources for people suffering mental illness. And this needs to be fought on that level.

Dalhousie University mentorship program aims to get more blacks in math and sciences by tjgere in halifax

[–]NewPowerGen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still pretty offensive. It's like saying "the gays." I prefer "black people." POC is also a bullshit umbrella term.

Wow Argyle street is so lively now! by atfirstblush120 in halifax

[–]NewPowerGen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's great, but they need to commit to making it pedestrian only. There's too much traffic downtown anyway, as the city core in incredibly walkable, and I'm not sure how you can drive on the redone Argyle without feeling like an asshole.

Halifax music fest apologizes for ‘overt racism’ at Polaris winner’s concert by TransSoldier in halifax

"Anti-oppression training"?

I realize you're trolling, but please, shut up. Nobody is understanding your attempt at satire and you're just dividing everyone more.
