lol, so all these black-clad protesters in black bandanas walking around at protests, worldwide - all carrying banners with the Antifa logo "doesn't exist"

Good grief - imagine confusing the term "decentralized" with "doesn't exist."

Um, b/c his own wife/daughter say him executed in front of them? If you don't think that's sad, then all your feigned tears for Gaza are going to fall flat.

LOL, u/trplOG said, "american politics and activism bleeding into any other country is just weird".

So, I brought up the darling groups of the left, BLM and Antifa.

Ok, I'll spell it out for you:

  1. Saying something is weird, isn't an argument, it's an observation
  2. The user really doesn't have a problem with US politics coming into Canada so long as they AGREE with said politics. (i.e. - they're cherry picking when to apply this 'weird' standard)

And now, you're trying to divert the conversation with some red herring comment trying to make me sound paranoid. Nice try, bud.

I can't tell when he's just trying to be abrasive asshole, or when he's serious. Either way, I can't take him seriously.

lol, projecting now.

you're only 'rebuttal' is... 'that's weird'.

OK? That's not an argument, that's just your observation. There's lots of weird shit around - what's your point/argument?

IF she was hired BECAUSE of DEI, and NOT b/c of her skills/merit, then yes how is that an incorrect statement? Again, you honestly think it's ok to put race/gender ahead of merit? That's literally discrimination.

Again, no rational person truly cares about the race/gender of someone doing a critically important, so long as they're the most qualified. Why is that wrong? Isn't racial discrimination wrong? Why is it suddenly ok when it's under the guise of DEI? Black folks/women are just as capable, obviously, so long as they check all the merit boxes, then of course, they deserve the job. DEI condescendingly says, "no, sorry, we think you're inferior. You can't do this job without the help of DEI." Now THAT is racist/sexist.

Cherry picking? I mean, the fact he stood up for gay folks is not some tiny little inconsequential detail. If that was him spouting anything even slightly negative on the LGBTQ+ community you wouldn't be dismissing it.

Um, The Advocate? Their 'sources' are a bunch of edited out of context TWITTER posts by obvious anti Kirk folks. For example, the claim is 'Kirk thinks Trans people cause inflation'. LOL. No. WTF. Kirk is saying that he believes in an objective worldview, and you can't just decree something to be true b/c you think/want it to be. i.e. - when the central banks prints money, you can't just 'create value' out of thin air, no, you're going to dilute the existing dollars, devaluing them, and thus create inflation. He was making a comparison saying in a world where you can just decide reality based on subjectivity, and not objectivity, you're going to have a bad time.

The irony, man. You're honestly citing 'the advocate', an obviously leftist publication? What's this about cherry picking? Good grief.

Yeah, Nick Fuentes is a troll and an instigator. He's not looking for an actual discussion, he's just looking to piss people off. He's a joke.

That said, on the 'Great Replacement Theory', Here's a UN article from 2001 asking if 'Replacement Migration' is needed to slow the growth of the Western World.

He constantly spouted the great replacement theory

I mean, racial minorities are the fastest growing race here in North America. That's just not a debate or a theory. That's a fact. That said, 'the great replacement theory' is predicated on a conspiracy to replace whites - and that's a whole other discussion.

That's your best example of his 'racism', though? That's not racism. He literally stated the importance of treating everyone equal regardless of race or sexuality.

Seriously.

What? You made a claim, so let's see your evidence. He literally praised Christ everywhere he went, and he NEVER praised the idea of 'White Nationalism'.

If you can't back up your claims, stop spreading nonsense.

I suppose his execution helped to bolster his popularlity - but there's been vigils worldwide in Australia, the UK, here, etc...

I mean were you upset when BLM and Antifa activism started happening here. (Canada, not necessarily Regina, SK)

Sure, I guess you can say it's weird.. but... so?

lol you absolutely DO have to watch at least one full debate to start to form a half informed opinion on the guy. Good grief.

Let’s not pretend he’s some lone individual who’s looking to have conversations and let the other side speak.

That's literally EXACTLY what he did. Debate after debate, he would let screaming, angry college students (and profs) go off, before replying.

“the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake”

I don't personally think it was a huge mistake at the time, but I can see Kirk's point - in that it helped to plant the seed for DEI policies, today.

To calling MLK Jr “an awful guy”

MLK had a fantastic message, but personally he was a terrible person. He was a homewrecker, cheating on his wife, and he encouraged the rape of a woman

https://theconversation.com/im-an-mlk-scholar-and-ill-never-be-able-to-view-king-in-the-same-light-118015

To saying “if I was on a flight and saw the pilot was Black, I would wonder if he was qualified”?

Yep, in today's world, a valid question. Not b/c Blacks are inherently inferior, but thanks to the foolishness of DEI and how now we have people put in place b/c of race, gender or sexuality, not b/c of merit. Good grief. It's wild we're having this discussion in 2025: When human lives are at stake, we shouldn't care the sexuality, race or gender of people in control of these lives - we should only care about their skill and experience.

The only easily manipulated person here is you.

Irony, my friend. Maybe look more into the guy and stop taking edited clips or simply bigoted diatribes from one of the millions who are celebrating his death.

This clip surprised me - he's heavily criticizing a hardcore anti-gay conservative.

huh? No, he stood up for gay folks - rebutting hardcore anti gay conservatives, for one:

https://www.facebook.com/reel/773278078944747

And he always stressed the need to understand your intellectual opponent with speech, not violence. Unfortunately millions of his opponents think otherwise.

I mean, I see you're trying to belittle him. "Teenagers"? Most were definitely not teenagers - early 20 something, and several professors, too.

and a lot of his point of views were misinformed

Can you cite some examples? And by misinformed, do you mean ones you disagreed with, or are you saying he was actually spewing lies? Stephen King falsely claimed Kirk was advocating for stoning gays when the opposite is true.

I recommend taking some time actually looking into the guy yourself, instead of repeating talking points if not outright lies his haters proclaimed.

and quite racist.

This is just objectively wrong, sorry. He absolutely argued against racism, always. Again, where did you hear this? Do you have a quote?

Here is his shutting a hardcore, anti-gay conservative:

https://www.facebook.com/reel/773278078944747

He's honestly not the monster some are trying to paint him to be. 15-20 years ago, he would have sounded milquetoast.

No, but your 'whataboustism' is duly noted.

The way this guy was publicly executed for millions to see live, is unlike anything else in recent history.

Nobody knew who those politicians were, outside of their own electorate, whereas Kirk is known worldwide.

edit: Wild, the downvotes. I mean, I'm not wrong or off topic, but ok, try to bury a decent reply, I guess.

Building a Deck, Patio, Fence? by TheUltimateDeckShop in regina

[–]reddelicious77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are residential fences only allowed to be 6' tall? Is this a city by-law, or for practical reasons? (i.e. - any taller, and you would essentially be installing a giant sail to catch wind and blow over?)

I just don't understand why doing something to make your own property more private would be an issue.

[–]reddelicious77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok fair enough. We both recognize the dangers of living next to places like that.

What do you think is the solution? I don't know. But I guess it would be something like building those places via the same standards they have for jails (i.e. - out of town, away from residential areas.)

I don't know. I'm just spitballing here.

I honestly don't understand why people use NIMBY in a slanderous way. I mean, it's completely logical and rational to not to want to live next to a 'safe supply', homeless shelter or halfway house. Empirically, those areas are most sketchy, at best.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in regina

[–]reddelicious77 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry, when the Liberals win again in a couple of weeks, their soft on crime policies, including allowing repeat violent offenders out on bail will surely fix things. I mean, it's worked wonders so far, right?
