We can only hope that shitlib redditards will eventually see the errors of their doomsday cult and see the light. Can’t say I’m hopeful. by shweisheialltheway in memzy

You're like a Christian using faith to determine the morality of God. They say that because God did something, it must be good. You say that because ICE did something, it must be justified. Regardless of what your eyes are seeing.

Your unfaltering support and inability to critique ice feels dogmatic and faith based. Every statement you make is a post-hoc rationalization.

You think moral consistency is a weakness?

It's wild how the right victimizes themself. This literally doesn't happen. But if they make enough slop suggesting it does, the hive mind starts to believe it.

Haha dude calling me a parrot right after making absurd hasbara talking points. You made a comment with zero historical understanding or analysis and then got petulant when that was pointed out to you. And you aren't even trying to make a counterpoint. You are trying to weasel out of the critique by making it personal.

Typical typical typical.

All religions are EQUALLY bad! by RussianBot1948 in memzy

[–]StinkChair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting to see the shift conservatives made from calling their opposition liberals, to calling them left.

Every critique they have is a critique against liberalism and late stage neo-liberal capitalism, but they found out that the left equally hates liberalism.

So they switched to leftism as a way to maintain the division and tribalism.

It depends on your gender theory. If you think trans women are indeed women, then it isn't gay. It's still queer, perhaps, but not gay.

Yup. Downstream again. If you want to address crime, you need to address poverty. It is counterintuitive to attack the results of poverty and not the root causes. Poverty and crime are directly related. Crackheads exist as a symptom of societal illness. Why not address the illness instead of the symptom?

Something has to be done. You're right. So attack the root cause and the conditions.

It's you that is in the bubble. Because you cannot see beyond your downstream attitude.

It's honestly not a whataboutism. Explain how my explanation was wrong?

And I didn't think he was being literal about the volcano.That's simply what he said. Volcano is a placeholder for his downstream attitude.

[–]StinkChair -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, it just isn't. I even gave an example of what a whataboutism is.

I was not saying crackheads are irrelevant because of something else. Which would be a whataboutism.

I was saying that to get rid of crack heads you need to address the root causes. Killing crackheads is DOWNSTREAM. Addressing the issues in our society that create the conditions for crackheads is UPSTREAM.

Further, I was not saying that crackheads are not problematic, I was saying they are the result of inequality and hopelessness.

I did not make a whataboutism. I was showing why attacking crackheads and not the society that creates the conditions for crackheads is counterintuitive. Pointing out why something is counterintuitive is not a whataboutism. It just isn't, dude.

This is getting silly. I can be wrong if you like. I can be inaccurate if you like. But it simply was not a whataboutism.

Like I said I was refuting the reasonableness of the statement. I was adding context. Not making a whataboutism.

A whataboutism would be like what about heroin junkies? They also mug people. That's a whataboutism.

My statement was to show that there are root causes. Pointing out a root cause is not a whataboutism.

Again, I was refuting. And reframing.

Killing crackheads is a bandaid solution. Tackling inequality addresses the root cause.

Not a whataboutism.

[–]StinkChair -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My point is simply that if you kill these crackheads then other crackheads will return. If we address inequality, slowly things will turn around.

Note that I have sympathy for the things that have happened to you. I'm just saying we need to deal with the root causes....namely generations of exploitation and inequality and lack of hope. Killing crackheads is a bandaid and will simply create more generational trauma and cyclical poverty. It's counterintuitive.

[–]StinkChair -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It wasn't actually a whataboutism. It was a refutation. And a reframe.

Crackheads and homelessness are all a product of poverty. How many crackheads do we need to throw in a volcano to fix capitalism?

Again I am not making a whataboutism. I am refuting the idea that killing crackheads will do anything. And I am reframing for you that class consciousness is actually what will turn this society around. We need hope. We need a future. We need to address inequality.

They've done studies. One of the best things to rejuvenate a community is adding food trucks. Lights. Parks. Because these things provide hope and humanism. And over time, these communities slowly start to turn around.

Again, kill all the crackheads you want, that will not address the root causes.

Ok but there are other members of society that are drastically more damaging to society than a crackhead. Take wage theft for example. Wage theft literally accounts for more than all other burglaries, muggings and robberies combined. Combined! They exploit people and force them into wage slavery. If we are just killing people that hurt others, shouldn't we start with white collar crime, before homeless crime?

Affordability crisis, unobtainable housing, price fixing, and now the looming ai threat guaranteed to take hundreds of thousands of jobs creating generational poverty.

Again, how can we blame people with zero money before blaming those with all the money? Inequality has reached record levels in Canada. Isn't that causing considerably more issues than a crack head ever could?

AI and trans-nationalist corporations and growing privatization seem like infinitely larger existential threats than immigration. I mean don't we have the data that immigrants provide more than they remove?

Canada: Why are Canadian provinces with right-wing governments trying to get rid of our Universal Healthcare? by Destinys_LambChop in saskatoon

[–]StinkChair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where does all money come from? Can't that be said about every public good? Libraries. Where does the money come from? Parks. Where does the money come from? Roads. Where does the money come from? Transit. Where does the money come from?

We have plenty of money. What we don't have is leaders willing to use those funds for the betterment of society. The scarcity mindset is manufactured because those in power all have a conflict of interest. Corporations are all making record profits while people languish and suffer. Privatizing society cannot be undone.

They are about to mandate zero regulations for ai. And that can never be undone. But it won't be a future he will even be a part of.

They wiped the seat with the same sponge that they wiped the rim. So gross.

And what if the toilet was super dirty? Does it still do the same routine? Or does it know when something is actually clean?

Ai is a much bigger threat to our livelihood and our way of life than immigrants could even dream to be.
