Anarcho-tyranny is up and running in the West. Conservatives are no longer equal under the law.
Agreed, if as a local government you wish to ensure your citizens show some respect for the rule of law in a time when these new laws are apparently vital for public health and safety, I feel a good start would be for local government itself to show some respect for the rule of law rather than playing favourites.
BBQ (and pork) are seen as a working-class white sort of thing. This is a gimme-jun protest, must be allowed because waah, schools that tried to teach them to be civilized.
This guy's restaurants used to be very popular with the hipsters, actually.
You have no idea what went on in those schools, do you?
Drop some knowledge on me. Considering Western academia is the source of the world's greatest evils, I'm inclined to side with the injuns.
This is all second-hand sourced because I wasn't alive during the Residential School era.
My friend's father Andy described his stay during one winter there. His parents were convinced that the school he would be attending is a typical boarding school with clean facilities and a good curriculum. They were even served a "typical lunch" that was better than what the Indians could afford at home.
When Andy got there, however, it was a different story. Pretty much everything his parents were told had been a lie. He described the food as a kind of slop you wouldn't feed to a pig. Boys and girls were raped every night by staff (though Andy claims he was lucky to avoid it, who knows). Children were made to do yard work outdoors in a Canadian winter with no protective gear of any kind. Frostbite was common, as you can imagine. He told me about one kid who lost his hand pretty much a finger at a time and was still made to go out and work. The children were beaten if they dared to speak their native language. They were beaten if they spoke out of turn. They were beaten if they "misbehaved" and they were beaten if the staff just felt like beating on them. Sicknesses that developed in the children went untreated, leading to death in many cases. Andy told me that he saw a friend of his die from pneumonia that winter and the staff just took him out back and threw him in a ditch. Stripped him first, though. The clothes went to some other boy. There's other stuff, but it gets weirdly personal and specific to Andy.
I never took residential schools that seriously until Andy told me about what it was like there. A lot of it sounded cartoonishly evil, but then I look at the world we live in and understand that a lot of the headmasters and priesthood saw the Indians as subhuman who needed to be "civilized." Dehumanization can let people do really fucked up things.
Nish are a fucked up people and I will be the first to say so, but the residential school thing... yeah, they have an honest gripe about that one.
That sounds like a toned down Chinese autonomous region. Progressives build gulags wherever they go.
So you've just described a typical boarding school, with some slight alterations specific to native people and cold weather.
Seriously, just go listen to anybody tell stories about boarding schools. It's all shit work, non-stop rape, shit food, and all-around horrible mistreatment. Unless it's an extremely wealthy boarding school, then it's just shit work and a little bit of rape and unpleasant mistreatment.
So they were also punished when they spoke their native language ... well, ok. That probably actually did them some good at least, in terms of integration.
Feather propaganda, fake and gay
There's too much "me-tooism" (of the sort where nothing happened to the individual, they just wanted attention, too) to sort out what WAS real and what is not.
ANYplace where you have humans or other animals in place they're more or less compelled to be (at least once you're in), it's going to attract pieces of shit with perversions and power-trip problems. But we don't wah-wah over every little thing and shut them down, do we? Like normal boarding schools, or schools in general, nunneries, monasteries, ARMIES, etc.
And anyway, they turn around and defend hunting and trapping like fucking supremacist pieces of shit when they're NOT N THE FUCKING STONE AGE any more. And if they're butt hurt about it, they're FREE TO MOVE IN THE WOODS AND LIVE NEKKID WITH NOTHING BUT STONE TOOLS just like their sacred monkey ancestors.
So fuck their goddamn whining, ten thousand years worth of tech boosts doesn't come free.
If they were REALLY treated like "animals", no one would have bothered trying to talk to their fugly faces in tge first place.
And hey, let's talk about the wild-animal nature of their cultures that CAUSED the schools to be a thing in the first place ...
Their only real problem is that they want to eat their modern cake, and have their stone-age cake, too. Civilize up, prove you're fucking "human" and not just technological apes.
The Premier of Ontario is Doug Ford, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.
The Mayor of Toronto is John Tory, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario from 2004-2009.
Or what? The mob kills the drivers?
Against the elected representatives of the tribe, against the will of the majority of the tribe.
The "solidarity" they show is pure contrarianism, in support of handful of people who had the government of Canada grant them superior blood privileges "hereditary chiefs".
The activists latched on anything to stirr shit up and grandstand against imaginary colonialism.
The left routinely stans colonializers, but they call them NGOs because doublethink.
Correct. 85% of the Wet’suwet’en support the pipeline, even a majority of the unelected heredity chiefs support it.
It's just a minority of chiefs who stole the titles from women, ironically enough. The leader of the rebel chiefs is a legit wife-beater.
