So the councilors in Waterloo voted unanimously to ban communication that "make people feel harassed". You can read about it here: https://tnc.news/2023/09/29/waterloo-harassed-bylaw-2/
My first thought was "what kind of degenerate would pass this" so I searched and found the list: https://www.waterloo.ca/en/government/city-council.aspx#Mayor-Dorothy-McCabe
Care to guess their identities? If you said "mostly white middle aged women" you won! (+2 beta cucks). Which brings me to the next point... if I have to pick one person or thing to blame for the fall of western civilization we'll it wouldn't be Trudeau, Biden, Schwab, etc... it'd be the fucking White leftists women hive mind that keeps supporting and pushing this nonsense. It's one thing when they keep voting for the liberal cucks (statistically that's their thing) but it gets worse when they get into positions of power like the councilors above. But technically, positions of power is all they seek except not in the obvious way.. They fill up HR which decides who gets hired or not, they control education and so mold the children's mind, they occupy communication/marketing jobs so they always have a megaphone for their bullshit...that's a lot of power over society so when you put it like this, it's no wonder that we are where we are.
Maybe I'm just speaking out of rage caused by this vote but as it stands now, I'm really starting to think imp was right all along.
He thinks it's a malevolent conspiracy against men. There is sometimes malevolence, and there always is a significant ingroup preference, but there's not enough planning for conspiracy on any meaningful scale. Most of it's incompetence and ignorance. (Edit: And a fuckload of entitlement)
Ultimately the enemy isn't women. It's the culture that worships them, elevates them regardless of competence, and enables the worst tendencies of their worst members.
It's a matter of nature. People's genetics interacting with the environment leading to this outcome. The only conspiracy is that the people with the power to make things better refuse to do so and instead double down on making it worse because they simply do not care.
Agreed.
Vast underground meetings in dark rooms in whispers are wholly unnecessary when practical or selfish interests align.
Correct but women are pawns of the actual planners.
Yeah, but that's where the ingroup preference comes in. They're all pushing the same garbage because they all believe the same garbage and it benefits them, but there still isn't the level of calculated malice that I've seen Imp suggest. If nothing else, most of them are incapable of that degree of forward planning.
Well, it'd be a problem if one of his 8 wives used this against him.
Interesting. I don't really have anything to say about it in that case, except for maybe a distant "We're eventually going to be the majority here and I don't want my husband brutally oppressing me with this in the future".
I keep telling you (kia2) he's always right. Even when ultimately incorrect in judgement, his paranoia is well placed 100% of the time
Does local government ever not suck?
Is local government ever not filled with overreaching authoritarians and smugly incompetent morons?
Well, think about the kind of person who runs for a position where they rule over people. You don't see Mr. Rogers running for that office, even if he would be the best kind of person for that job. Instead you see people like Lori Lightfoot, who wield that position for their own benefit. The people least deserving of power are always the ones who crave it most.
Not a fan of misleading headlines, especially when the article doesn't say what actually is banned now.
I found another article which is also not clear about that, but:
A wild based tranny appears?! Lmao what a timeline.
There's nothing based about it. Read this part again:
He's worried that he'll get nailed for perving on women. There's nothing principled about his stance. He's just a troon doing what troons do.
the only based tranny is a dead one.
There was a video from Bearing last night that detailed $1,100 fines if you leave a note that hurts someone's feelings on a car.
Of course, they got inspiration from the UK where it was already illegal since 2014 under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act of 2014. And yesterday two brothers face a Police probe for holding up a picture of a child who passed away from cancer and laughing at a football match.
There is a push to make offending someone a criminal offence. The problem is, everything you say and do will offend someone. We've only just had the gym creep trend on TikTok where unattractive men in the presence of a woman offended them and they complained via social media about said presence.
In terms of Imp being right, correct but I always go down the road of ideas, not people.
They'll have to rescind this because it's so nebulous that anything can be construed as offensive and make people feel harrassed.
That's not a bug, that's the primary feature.
Yep, it's the Ayn Rand thing again. Make everybody a criminal, then the state has prosecutorial discretion to only enforce that law upon it's enemies - and a pointed reminder to it's friends why they should do as they're told.
While true, it has to be quantified in order to be a law. There can be no gray area, which is why these laws always wind up being dumb, written by idiots.
And ultimately rescinded when people realize just how far reaching and stupid it is, making the idiots that made them even more upset.
I think I remember the sci-fi show Sliders having an episode which ever so briefly touched on this. At the very tail end of a jump the sliders are just about to open the portal to another reality and I think Quinn bumps into some random old lady, and apologises. Moments later a guy who identifies himself as a lawyer approaches Quinn and informs him by apologising he has just admitted fault in the encounter and will likely be sued as a result of that, to which Quinn smirks and tells the lawyer to have fun with the case before opening the portal and leaving.
Edit: Season 2 episode 12: Greatfellas.

Edit 2: Taken from scfi stackexhange
And
I remember that show, but not that specific episode. I'll have to go and watch it again. It was a lot of fun, though. I'm glad it happened before all this crap took over.
The whole sequence was barely a couple of minutes long so even if it was part of a memorable episode it would very likely have been overshadowed by the rest since I think it was the cold open to an episode.
Edit: Found the episode in question, s02e12 but "Lawyer Earth/World" doesn't make up a significant part of the episode.
that's pretty much exactly how things work in china right now.
This bylaw is hurting my feelings, so I get to sue the councilors that pushed this horseshit, right?
women are children and should never hold a position of power, anywhere, ever.
Ontario is not part of Canada.
The Nineteenth Amendment and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Post Reported for: Rule 16 - Identity Attacks
Post Approved: "White leftist women hive mind" is as close to violating the rule without violating the rule as it gets.
And has no running water.
You want running water and a functional electrical grid? How about 10 million muslim men instead? -
female politicians
This comment made me realize that there's a sexual component to women's insistence on importing large numbers of male criminals. Ladies love a bad boy after all.
Most women want to be dominated and have rape fetishes but won't admit it
I know you know, but that is unsustainable. Eventually the problem will solve itself, it just is a question of how far society falls.
