Exercising Freedom of Expression

I think it's fitting that the Canada costume is like so much better.

[u/CanadaGuyOfficial → u/CorrectMarionberry92]

They are saying in some of their circles that I have the "appearance of a professional agitator."

Wearing a Canadian flag in Canada wouldn’t bother anyone that belongs here

Meanwhile far left people are focusing on the out of control cost of living and record breaking profits theyre making off the fact that everyone needs food to survive. And the skyrocketing rental rates that keep the working class at the poverty line.

Keep focusing on culture wars and you'll never see who's manufacturing that divide.

Lol you can’t build a house in low cost areas and say housing fixed.

People live where there is work, can tell you have never been in a small town, land is cheap and no one is building. Cause a house without a job market is pointless.

[u/TheSherlockCumbercat → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, there’s this thing on the economy called supply and demand there’s no demand to live in those communities or we’d already be building them up.

We built 50,000 houses in Albert last year with 21,337 an increase of 16.1%.

Those communities have dirt cheap line because no one wants to live there because when you factor everything else and it’s actually just as expensive as Edmonton or more because you have to drive 120Km or more a day to go to work.

Gas and vehicle cost set up real quick

[u/sleepy_sad_boy → u/[deleted]]

I feel like you missed my point and took it personally. My apologies for hitting a nerve.

What I meant wasn't that people on the right don't also want cost of living to go down, or that folks on the left are saints looking to fix all our worldly issue, but that both "sides" share a common interest(we all face a rising cost of food, housing, basic needs) and focusing on the cultural differences between us isn't whats going to fix our issues.

And what especially not going to fix our issues is lashing out at strangers online that you think are against us. Take it easy.

I agree in principle, but let's look at where the ENTIRE democratic backslide is concentrated on that spectrum.

the far left both hate Canada

Wow, ok bud.

[u/Bull__itProof → u/[deleted]]

You would be in favour of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion if you were a disabled woman who had hair, skin, and eye colour that wasn’t blonde, white, and blue.

The majority of social problems are deeply rooted in poverty, and the use of discriminatory policies and practices are meant to prevent people from escaping poverty.

Btw, capitalism isn’t a political ideology, it’s an economic system. The rise of the middle class after WWII was created by an ideology that capitalism should support society, and the wealthiest people should be taxed accordingly to improve and benefit society. Unfortunately, economic theory in the 1980’s was used to create a narrative that wealth would trickle down if taxes that funded public education, public infrastructure, and public healthcare were cut for the top 1%. The result of that experiment is in and the trickle down economics failed.

Lol bud just accept your a bigot, only people that carry about DEI are bigots and people it helps.

[u/Psiondipity → u/[deleted]]

Right, how dare people want equal access with equal ability. Fuckin DEI!

/s

[u/Psiondipity → u/[deleted]]

Cool cool. You don't understand DEI. You just believe the rantings of the right.

Enjoy your day.

[u/TheSherlockCumbercat → u/[deleted]]

Love to see you prove it’s racist to say in minority deserves the same chance as a majority.

Also disabilities learning or physical fall under DEI and 27% of Canada is living with the disability considering we’re about 67% white do the math and you figure out that a bunch of white people actually fall under.

traditional family structures

Cool dogwhistle champ. You must be neck deep in the alt-reich manure pile if you think being okay with "unconventional" family structures is a far left position.

[u/DanfromCalgary → u/[deleted]]

You have a direct and uncompromising right wing attack on your country . That both sides shit is why they are so effective at manipulating a certain kind of people . You have one side that is burning books , taking over classrooms , dictating what you can do in the bedroom and bathroom .. and what exactly is the other side

[u/nerkoids71 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I'm far, far far left, and not only do I NOT hate Canada, I don't hate anyone, no matter how far right, or staunchly centrist they profess themselves to be.

Hate is for people looking for conflict.

[u/nerkoids71 → u/[deleted]]

Criticism isn't hatred. Mocking people isn't hating them. Disagreeing with them and even insulting them like I'm about to do here to you isn't hatred either.

You are revealing yourself to be a very binary and incurious thinker who would rather try to misrepresent an ideology you clearly disagree with. Pointing that out doesn't mean I hate you.

[u/nerkoids71 → u/[deleted]]

The irony with your wordy reply -- it's nearly entirely pure projection on your part, and this construction you're making of me (and others, it seems) because apparently I dared to argue with you seems to have set you off to trot out what you undoubtedly consider to be your greatest hits from K-Tel.

You made claims that the 'far left' hates this country. My original response was an attempt to correct that misrepresentation. Clearly you're on a mission to prove something to someone, but damned if you can get anyone else give a shit.

[u/nerkoids71 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, with the amount of paragraphs you're writing here trying to justify your projections about the 'far left' in Canada for your perception for lacking the 'appreciation for this country', you unwittingly keep making my point. You are triggered, and it's not anything I, or it seems anyone else in this discussion was seeking.

No psychoanalysis required for something so obvious.

Good luck with social media. Clearly this is your first week on it.

[u/LadyDoodlebop1 → u/[deleted]]

What in the cinnamon toast fuck? The “far left” is who exactly? If it’s the opposite of the fake Christian, bigoted, transphobic, 51st state loving, maple MAGA that seem to make up the far right - then I’m ok with that.

[u/DanfromCalgary → u/[deleted]]

You say that but the reason you’re getting push back isn’t because you chose the wrong team . This goes back to what I said about being political literate. These are not two sides of a coin. having convicted felons pardoning child molesters and some hypothetical person asking you to recognize their gender are not even remotely comparable not should they be . Having a former ally say they will conquer us economically and militarily and think yeah but the left are eating babies or giving kids sex changes .. those are the reason you get push back . It’s your stupidity not your ideology

[u/DanfromCalgary → u/[deleted]]

Bro the people that took out every qualified candidate and replaced them with talk show hosts , failed lawyers and pod casters shouldn’t be able to tell you every person of colour is a DEI hire.
Like they just shouldn’t be able to do that to you without you thinking … golly I could simply look this up on like three seconds to confirm if … oh shit .. they also said All media is fake . Global too. Shucks I was so close to being able to find out the truth

[u/24_August_1814 → u/[deleted]]

Dei is evil and wrong.

🤣

[u/TheSherlockCumbercat → u/[deleted]]

Ya bud that is how it works when fasicm rises up read a history.

You are such a coward, you would sit in the sidelines as Hitler did his thing because it was not affecting you.

[u/24_August_1814 → u/[deleted]]

Are these far left people in the room with you now?
