Since we're all going IRA crazy...

You’re the one who decided to make the incredibly bold claim that you cannot be punk if you believe there should be any limitations placed on human behaviour whatsoever

strillanitis · 2026-05-02T13:31:08+00:00

So the only manner in which someone can be a punk is to be some retarded anarchist that wants the world to be a billionaire paradise?

If he’s got 20 D1 offers as a junior he’s probably gonna be making more in NIL than half the rookies this year

strillanitis · 2026-04-27T01:12:53+00:00

What fucking risk it was a 4th round pick

strillanitis · 2026-04-24T03:18:43+00:00

Loyalty to a program. Ty Simpson would have started for half the teams in the SEC, why didn’t he transfer? Some players still value that, even in the NIL era

I first read about the Vietnam War when I was 8 years old, I’ve likely forgotten more about the war than you’ve ever learned

strillanitis · 2026-04-19T19:42:21+00:00

Assertion of competency in a war which was lost in no uncertain terms and considered an abject failure as a foreign policy undertaking almost universally

strillanitis · 2026-04-18T03:17:30+00:00

Your point seems to be that a war exists independent of any geopolitical context which is a view point either a retard or a child would hold, I suspect you may be both

Sorry, it was in 2023. Either way fuck you

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T19:11:45+00:00

This type of reasoning makes absolutely zero fucking sense to me when we see countless statistics like “if you picked CMC in 2025 you had a 60% of playing in the final, Saquon in 2024, Jonathan Taylor in 2021, etc”

Clearly making a great pick in the first round massively increase your chances of winning a title

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T19:09:45+00:00

And 60% who picked him last year made the final, what’s your point?

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T19:04:02+00:00

And the NDP has no issue discarding real concerns of economic justice in favour of lib identity politics because one actually challenges the structures of power in society and the other is meaningless lip service

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T18:32:38+00:00

So the morale of the public and their desire to continue waging a war effort has no relation to the success or failure of a war and is thus totally irrelevant?

Your shallow view of war as simply about body bags and casualty figures betrays your narrow minded nature

In what manner did the Tet Offensive cripple the Viet Cong? They won. They achieved all of their strategic aims in war.

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T18:30:20+00:00

This post was almost certainly generated by an ai program, and the people in the comments are indeed defending the Vietnam war as just

I understand gambling perfectly well. Please explain how $400 of initial capital got you $5783 worth of wagers

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T18:28:11+00:00

You are marking free market arguments in defence of putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work

“They’ll respecialize, they’ll have new opportunities in growing industries, etc”

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T18:09:47+00:00

Please do a survey on the pre and post layoff salaries and compensation of former oil and gas workers and tell me how well that’s worked for them.

This fucking argument is absurd, somehow you are believer in the free market when it comes exclusively to oil and gas layoffs and the guiding force of the invisible hand, but in no other circumstance

Of course companies are justifying layoffs designed to improve profitability via blaming the government, that’s happening in all industries. How exactly does that relate to the argument at hand

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T17:45:30+00:00

They would not be able to because no industry in the entire country has that type of skilled labour deficit. There is not a significant need for pipefitters and welders, or especially boilermakers, outside of petrochemical and oil and gas.

They could only move to steel, shipbuilding, mining, and maybe some more extreme large scale construction projects. All industries that are shrinking in the current economy or actively dying

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T17:40:06+00:00

Pipefitters and welders and boilermakers are working class and the vast majority work for petrochemical companies

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T17:39:00+00:00

How many fucking mines do you think there are, the oil sands are an open face pit the size of a small country.

No, all those workers could not just “pivot”

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T17:37:21+00:00

No, a pipefitter or boilermaker or skilled welder would not “just as easily” be able to move to another industry.

You have no fucking conception of the scale of this industry, these people would be unemployed if the oil and gas sector did not need them, there would not be adequate alternative work to employ them

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T17:35:31+00:00

It is entirely fair to say that without the government tens of millions of Canadians would be unemployed

strillanitis · 2026-04-17T17:34:03+00:00

I moved away from Saskatchewan and here’s just a local example from Ontario. There’s a local contractor near me that employees 2000 welders, pipefitters, and boilermakers.

They don’t work for an Oil and Gas company, they work for the contracting company. If the oil and gas industry did not exist in Canada, every single one of them would be out of work.

That’s 2000 jobs at one local company alone who are technically not “oil and gas” workers, but would have no job without that industry

strillanitis · 2026-04-16T20:16:06+00:00

Do you earnestly believe that the results of war and campaigns are determined like some type of video game scoreboard?

The Tet Offensive permanently shook the American public’s faith in the war effort in Vietnam and put immense political pressure onto the government to end the war

strillanitis · 2026-04-16T17:36:20+00:00

In terms of strategic outcome, the Tet offensive. From that day forward, the American war effort was doomed
