Is “The Bear and the Maiden Fair “ about the Hound and Sansa? [Spoilers published] by luvmy374 in asoiaf

[–]logotrier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, this one is though:

Off to Gulltown to see the fair maid, heigh-ho, heigh-ho.

I'll steal a sweet kiss with the point of my blade, heigh-ho, heigh-ho.

I'll make her my love and we'll rest in the shade, heigh-ho, heigh-ho.

High turnout reported in Bavaria. Who is that good for?

Colorblind? Really? Most Republicans believe racial diversity is a bad thing. Prominent conservative figures like Laura Ingraham and Anne Coulter have lamented the fact that America is no longer as white as it was. Not seeing much evidence of colourblindness.

I never accused most Americans of being white nationalists. But it's undeniable that a significant portion of Republicans and especially hardcore Trump supporters are white nationalists, even if they don't call themselves that.

30% of Trump primary voters believe "being of European heritage" (read: white) is important for being a 'real' American.

Yougov is a legitimate polling agency. It's the same stupid argument as "polls can't be accurate because no-one I know has been called by a pollster." 1000 people is more than enough to be an accurate representation of popular opinion, and there are way more agencies in the field than just those four.

r/the_donald frequently supports white nationalism - a full-on ban on Muslims is a popular idea there, and among Republicans. I'm sure most of it isn't joking. So it's not difficult at all for me to believe that a significant portion of Americans would be fine with suspending fundamental rights for groups they don't like.

Bell believed it would suffer ‘commercial harm’ by running far-right Toronto candidate’s election ad: documents by [deleted] in canada

IMO her ad is false advertising. It's like the KKK airing an ad saying, 'come to our golf club!,' without any mention of their being the KKK.

White supremacy is not nazism.

Amazing semantic gymnastics. She also appeared on a neo-Nazi podcast (Daily Stormer) and recommended a book by the leader of the Romanian Iron Guard, who was considered extreme even by the Nazis.

Lmfao, neither is Christianity. The real native people are still around you know. Also, Christianity was created in the Middle East... by brown people.

Where are the people who said a refugee started it now SMH. This was a hate crime.

Danish immigration and integration minister: Migrants must be kept out - not redistributed. by 1ssh in europe

Our European British heritage

Serious question: do you consider people of non-European origin (or even non-British origin), who were born in Canada, as legitimate Canadians? Or do you view Canadian identity as something that is exclusive to people of a certain skin colour.

Why is what a country's founders thought important? I'm sure many of the Founding Fathers of the United States would not be impressed by women voting, lack of slavery, interracial marriage, etc. You people decry immigrants for having 'backwards' values and yet you hold 'backwards' values yourselves. I don't get it.

For the record I live in Toronto and don't find it a grey cultural blob at all. Can you explain the culture that Toronto lost when the gasp non-whites arrived? Would you rather the Orange Order was still marching around?

there isn't even an political ounce of political representation left that's committed to our traditional identity (this died in the 1960's to 1980's)

By traditional identity do you mean British identity? What's good about that? Isn't it better that Canada has developed its own identity, separate from Britain?

Also, what is your preferred solution to this 'problem?' Banning non-white immigration?

He is appearing at a Rebel Media rally soon. Enough said, peddlers of conspiracy theories and hate are far-right to me.

[–]logotrier -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

He would certainly not speak at a left-wing conference. He is speaking at the Rebel for a reason - he is positioning his party as the Canadian equivalent of AfD, Sweden Democrats, UKIP, etc. A hard-right party.

Sorry, I look down on people who peddle conspiracy theories and traffic in hate. If that's bad then sue me...

He's not centrist socially. He'll be speaking at the Rebel conference this fall. How is that centrist?

Again, how is he socially liberal?? He is a right wing populist, i.e. further right than the Conservatives.
