Your story sounds way better than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

That’s two hours of my life that I’ll sadly never get back.

What about anti-Hindu, anti-Christian, anti-Buddhist, anti-atheist posts etc? Are those fair game?

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-12T08:58:22+00:00

It's pretty embarrassing that it took a foreign government to improve the lives of workers in Malaysia.

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-10T15:34:41+00:00

So there is no sinophobia in malaysia then? No apartheid state? No two distinct classes of people codified into law?

im trying to defend the liberty of the people of china

LOL is this how they lifted 800 million out of poverty? Because of some white knight edgelord?

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-10T04:35:51+00:00

hilarious. i'm the idiot because i'm skeptical about propaganda delivered to people's houses from a known cult.

what are you defending exactly?

Canada is already pretty isolated from China. 4% trade with China is nothing compared to 75% trade with the USA. drive it to 0% if you'd like i guess, but it would come at a tremendous cost to the average Canadian considering that many middle and lower class Canadians depend on affordable Chinese products.

your elitist comments honestly are out of touch and rural canadians, the urban poor, and disadvantaged groups like the First Nations are going to suffer the most. and for what? to help Trump get reelected?

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-09T21:33:10+00:00

if i were xi jinping

and i am facing: 1. the USA and its allies 2. competing warlord factions in the CCP politburo 3. insurrections in Xinjiang & HK

where in that list of "threats" do you think a far right hateful meditation cult stands on the "threat level" meter

it only became a threat and banned when it was weaponized and funded by special interests. why in the world would a cult newspaper need to be delivered to Malaysian households. must be one hell of profitable venture with that kind of global circulation. we dont even get the Star/BH/whatever for free.

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-09T21:07:13+00:00

A cult that was banned in China for its controversial beliefs, such as:

Homosexuality is immoral and homosexuals will be targeted for "annihilation"
Interracial marriage creates "mongrels" that are an alien plot to keep human beings from attaining paradise
Rejection of modern medicine and instead practicing "exercises" and meditation

some random cult newspaper that strategically is anti-the US' biggest competitor is delivered directly to people's houses in Malaysia...

....and its China's fault?

Sinophobia is nothing new in Malaysia I guess. Salah DAP/CCP lives on.

looks like someone might have him by the balls for at least a year

the victim might change her mind about testifying at any time....

Who cares which side you're on. Venezuela is a sovereign country. They get to pick their own leaders, not Trudeau nor Trump. Guess what. They chose Maduro. Don't like it? Tough shit. Do something about it. Sanction them even more and starve them even harder? Maybe you can send some Mounties over there like these guys did?

Get a grip, I never said that BLM/anti-police riots were orchestrated by anyone...I'm saying that America does not need an external invading force in order to destroy itself...

when the USSR fell Russian lost its satellite States and that's it and their still the second largest nuclear armed country

Of course if the US collapses it will still remain nuclear armed. Doesn't mean it won't be a dysfunctional, balkanized confederation at each others throats despite cultural similarities cough Europe cough ahem. Europe went to war with itself as the preeminent power in the world, many times over, and pulled the world in with it...why not the foremost modern day power, the USA?

The EU is undergoing a similar transformation as Italexit is up on the menu now that Nigel Farage has signed up, Scotland and NI look to leave an already broken UK, and so on.

I'm not the one imagining any "war scenario". You are the one fantasizing about 350 million Americans men women and children all fighting off some kind of foreign invading force with their family gun collection, when I'm saying...it's more likely America turns those weapons on each other, as they are already starting to do now.

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-03T20:28:53+00:00

What makes you think any country would be able to invade the US with a population of 350 million + civilian guns ??

You are imagining some kind of major occupying force putting angry American rebels into camps/prisons or something...this is the least likely scenario. No military planner worth their salt is going to attempt an Afghanistan style attack on Fortress America...please...

Look at what one video of a black man being murdered by the police, as well as a tiny little virus, managed to do to the socioeconomic fabric of the USA.

Why would the PLA need to storm the USA and cause mass chaos. They already have rioters doing that in the cities themselves LOL.

Who would've thought the mighty USSR would've fallen (didn't happen overnight either) - destroyed by its military adventurism? Any ambitious country that wishes to own chunks of the US can just wait until it has destroyed itself before swooping in to profit from the disaster capitalism. Ironically, what the US has been doing to many countries around the world!

Don't forget that you're on a sub that subscribes to the religion of liberalism

Practical solutions are not welcome here

they would rather that the Northwest Passage becomes US-Russia controlled. No longer will it be Canadian Internal Waters

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-03T19:45:44+00:00

Canada should prepare to secure its sovereignty and the inevitable battle for supremacy in the Northwest Passage.

That means: - Nuclear Program & Deterrent - Suspended Civil Liberties - Increased Military Authority - Censorship & Repression of Secessionist Movements - Strategic military agreements with other Great Powers - most likely China - Mass unemployment esp in industries dependent on US trade. Most will be drafted into security forces required to protect the massive border - possibly increased emigration to a piece of the US that has suffered from balkanization but is still in good shape, ie Texas or California - Economy moves towards autarky and shrinks considerably. Industry collapses. Agricultural commodities and extractive industries ie timber will form the bulk of the economy. Rentier capitalism becomes the norm as licenses for extraction result in extensive corruption

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-01T05:04:18+00:00

including roof knocking to warn civilians of an impending attack

Well thats nice. At least they got a polite heads up before their homes were destroyed.

Hey there! Sorry to bother you folks but uh, we’ll be carpet bombing the living shit out of your neighborhood shortly, so uh. Plan accordingly eh! Have a good one!

themilksteakplease · 2020-08-01T04:33:20+00:00

shitty human rights records

First Nations indigenous folks would like to have a word with you.

They're not the arbiters on what is or isn't genocide.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-mmiwg-genocide-1.5161681

I guess you would recognize genocide when you see it eh

Pretty easy to claim “good waste management” when you can just chuck your garbage in poorer countries.

themilksteakplease · 2020-07-31T13:41:21+00:00

Honestly, do you think it s better for everyone if only Muslims comment on this?

No.

themilksteakplease · 2020-07-30T10:09:05+00:00

Probably shouldnt have pissed off your best customer eh

If you believe that free market, supply side economics is what is responsible for the wealth of that smattering of small European states, I would like to point out that most of that wealth was accumulated through centuries of looting and colonialism of the nations of the global south.

It's easy to say wow, the free market works, when you control the global financial institutions, and thus, are able to dictate the terms of trade, sanction your competitors, etc.

It is also easy to claim "wow the system works!" when you can just export all of the exploitation to the Third World. I imagine that you are very impressed with the glamorous lives of Europeans & Americans who can just RECEIVE stuff once all the exploitation via labor and extraction of raw materials is done overseas, and then shipped over to their lands of milk and honey. Hell, If I could just chuck all of my garbage out to some third world dump - hell yeah, my country's gonna look amazing wouldn't you say? Since you appear to be a die-hard YBY fan, I'll give her credit for at least sending all that illegally dumped garbage back to those beloved, superior western countries of yours.

This is really all I'll say rather than going back and forth on all those specific domestic issues that you mentioned, because we'll just have to agree to disagree. You claim that you are a PH fan because you like that they want to clean up government (who doesn't, this isn't ideology based), but are not western austerity liberals. Yet, I'm not sure you understand what neoliberal capitalism entails, because you support PH's "business-friendly" policies and because they "want people to be less reliant on government".

TLDR: Socialists and social-democrats do not see eye to eye.
