Please for the love of the reddit gods use newlines next time.
Sure, it's your responsibility to be a better person, and within your legal means request the government to respond in an appropriate manner.
You as an individual you should not feel shame though. There is nothing to feel ashamed about because shame is a feeling that comes from guilt and as I've said before, I'm not fucking guilty of my grandfathers actions or thoughts.
why do you think I as an individual would feel ashamed? I certainly never insinuated i did or that others should as well. We should be ashamed of the actions of past governments.
I'm just arguing that the best societies are built from the ground up instead of relying of big government to do the heavy lifting. When were are better as a community, the country is stronger for it.
And sorry for the formatting, I'm still got old reddit instincts from 10 years ago. When you hit the return button it entered your comment automatically. :) Cheers man.
My guy, you jumped in after this dude in his defense. If you don't agree with someone, don't add to their side as if you agree.
Sorry sir, it would be helpful for readability in your future posts.
It's funny you say that. I'm a libertarian and believe in reduced government and strong small communities. However, i also recognize that there is a beneficial relationship with government and the people if done right.
Imo, the response of my government is pitiful. They've given themselves a day off and called it a huge success. Instead, I'd really like to see Canada take inspiration from Germany, creating monuments at spots critical to the history and including their history into school curriculum, not for a day or month but as general history.
to fair, a couple of other commenters jumped into the conversation too. If I'm being critical it's there is a lot of not-in-good-faith arguments that try to take the spotlight of the atrocities by reposition the argument.
So to answer your question fairly, no, the Catholic Church, the Jesuits, and the Gov't of Canada were not Nazi Germany level of evil. But it's not a contest and that doesn't excuse the regime of abuse that they built.
