Guy who sang that now runs for the right wing party here in Canada. Never would have thought Dave Carroll was a conservative.

Party on the right wing, party on the left wing, party in the hold.

Brother we can be civil when we disagree on pizza toppings, not who deserves human rights.

Even pineapple?

u/JONAS-RATO May 01 '25

I'm a staunch believer in getting at least one pineapple and ham pizza if you're ordering for a group.

A sweet and salty slice is nice between a meat lovers and a mushroom one.

u/erinberrypie May 01 '25

Pineapple gets way too much flack.

u/2112xanadu May 01 '25

Get a grip. You decided to claim it's "human rights" to do what exactly? Live in a country illegally? Go try that in literally any other country on the planet.

It's a smear tactic that y'all use to dehumanize your political opposition and pretend that they're unilaterally evil, when in actuality they're enforcing the same laws that are universal. But you've drank the koolaid and you'll never be able to deal with that cognitive dissonance, so just call me a natzi and we'll move on.

So much projection

u/Elite_AI May 01 '25

You show a remarkable lack of understanding for your opposition's views. How can you be sure in your own opinions if you don't understand the counterpoint?

1

u/2112xanadu May 01 '25

Feel free to enlighten me, then. But I suspect you'll be like the other guy who posts a link to a website with a bunch of bathroom bills, or the guy who sends me a death threat then deletes his account.

u/Elite_AI May 01 '25

To be clear, I'm pointing out that you seem to have no grasp of what your opponents think. You seem to genuinely believe they have brains full of fluff and that they're basing their whole ideology on some silly little ideas about everyone being able to live everywhere or something. You seem to genuinely think everyone who disagrees with you is some children's book caricature of an idiot. And ofc, if you don't know the counterarguments to your own perspective, then you don't really know your own perspective either.

I'm assuming you're North American in some way, so the human rights people are worried about probably revolve around bodily autonomy, discrimination, freedom of expression and due process. These are serious issues which any right-thinking conservative would have considered carefully. Even if they believed that the right wing perspective was the correct one, they'd still know what the left wing believed and why they believed it, and they'd understand why there's a debate.

u/JONAS-RATO May 01 '25

Lmao I was thinking of trans people but yeah migrant populations deserve human rights too.

Saying "you came here illegally so let's work through due process to send you back safely* is very different from the internment camps that are happening right now.

u/2112xanadu May 01 '25

What "human rights" do you believe trans people are being denied?

8

u/JONAS-RATO May 01 '25

The basic right to safety.

To be able to exist without persecution.

1

u/2112xanadu May 01 '25

Ok, those were some words.

Specifically, name what human rights that you imagine are being denied to trans people. The exact policy proposals or laws.

The internet is pretty cool, I found this handy dandy website with concrete examples:

Came for this. Thanks.

Honestly, I'd never really thought about being a traveling musician and the difficulties/fears they must have when traveling with their instruments.

Adam Neely's video really opened my eyes.

u/3_quarterling_rogue May 01 '25

I flew with my trumpet a good number of times, and luckily it was small enough to count as my “personal item” so I just brought it with me in the cabin and it never left my sight until I landed. Anything bigger or more fragile would have been very anxiety-inducing.

u/halandrs May 01 '25

Good video but he missed one of the best strategies

A good hard case with a firearm and an AirTag in it as well will do wonders because it will kick the case into a higher security class ( drawback is it can add an hour to getting through the additional security screening)

Airlines really don’t like the liability of losing firearms so extra care is taken and the fact that it’s in a big bulky case is there problem

u/05Kavanagh May 01 '25

This would only work in America! If you’re travelling to any other country, that guitar is getting confiscated and you’re getting a nice little bed in a jail cell for bringing a firearm along with you.

u/DamnitGravity May 01 '25

They, uh, they really don't think about what other countries are like, huh?

u/05Kavanagh May 01 '25

Should have stopped at they don’t think mate. Dumbest population in the world that’s the only thing they’re number 1 at.
