No, the issue is last time around if everyone who voted PPC had voted CPC, we wouldn't have had Trudeau this whole time. Hence my comment. I'm worried about getting Liberals or, heaven forbid, NDP as our federal party and I would take Poilievre over either, even with his milquetoast moderate act.
PPC winning is not a realistic outcome, and this country cannot afford open leftism at the helm any longer. You may want an accelerant, but unless all your holdings are in American dollars or gold etc. you'll be nothing but a worthless bum with nothing to your name at the end of any major crash or upheaval.
I'll never understand the response that those who aren't in total lockstep with you should go and deliberately support the open enemy. Me questioning the value of voting PPC is the same as me voting Liberal? I don't follow.
What is your response really meant to accomplish? I understand you're frustrated when other people don't see the issue exactly the way you do, but I think you should change your approach.
Just so we're clear, I voted PPC in the last federal election.
Devil's advocate -- why do you take him at his word here? Maybe he just wants to be viewed as compassionate and nuanced in his politics and is aware of how he could or would be perceived. Optics is hardly a novel political concept, and neither is deception.
We share the world's largest land border with you, and it's practically undefended. You could walk across and occupy most of our territory almost instantaneously.
I will say that this iteration of Canada is not worth defending with my life, and American principles seem far more just to me than anything in Canadian law. In all seriousness, I think American occupation would be an upgrade for us but arguably a downgrade for you in the short term. You would control an enormous wealth of untapped resources and land, but the population is severely mind-fucked beyond repair and full of third world dregs. You'd need a few generations to iron that out, and even then, cultural resentment lasts a very long time. I'm not sure it'd be worth it.
And like I just repeated, that's because those other demographics don't enjoy anywhere near the same social influence, power, or freedom from criticism.
Edit: TikTok was largely banned due to pro-Palestinian (anti-Jewish) content. Have you heard of something like that taking place for women, blacks, gays, trannies, or any other special intersectional demographic?
I don't think anyone honestly believes you're part of a "conspiracy." The fixation on Jews may seem disproportionate because, as CH implied, they're extended a special social untouchability that no other demographic ever seems to enjoy (at least to the same extent).
I guess I don't see the point in this stance from Valve then. Some product placements are so jarring that they might as well be direct ads, which is obviously the whole point in including them in games in the first place.
Recall the leaked "jackboots" group message from the RCMP? Fuck every single one of them.
