  1.  @alaeus2310  you didn’t understand anything. These systems haven’t had to deal with real since they were form, reformed, or reconstituted.

  2.  @alaeus2310  most of those are enough to change administrations, not change the type of government. The only one mentioned that could is the Russian invasion of Ukraine but only those involved. Also, the Cold War wasn’t a crisis.

  3. Canada literally set up internal borders to restrict internal movement and Trudeau declared martial law

  4.  @Robcroley  the only one being histrionic here is you for calling a peaceful protest and occupation, but you’ve obviously been conditioned by the media to uncritically accept obvious bullshit.

  5.  @Robcroley  if you don’t like political protests, don’t live in national capitol. You seem to think Ottawa is just your city; it’s not. It’s the capitol of Canada. You don’t claim to be protecting the rule of law by undermining the rule of law.

  6.  @Robcroley  democracy doesn’t men tyranny of the elected. All citizens have the right to protest the actions of the government at any time. I have no problem with public sit-ins from any side so long as they didn’t damage property to enter or damage property in the process of protesting.

  7.  @Robcroley  no, lost business isn’t property damage. Sells are not property in any sense, let alone a physical object that can be damaged. A sit-in is a sit-in regardless of size, and Ottawa wasn’t shut down. The protest was a couple streets near the Houses of Parliament. It’s only your who are making this a zero-sum game with no run to negotiate. If Trudeau would have actually sat down with the people he is supposed to represent, he could have resolved the problems with far less disruption. However, he has a fundamentally authoritarian mindset and only knows how to use the force of the state to force submission

  8.  @Robcroley  loss of business can be a legal tort, but there was no property damaged therefor no property damage. Yes, we’ve established that you’re an authoritarian who believes in the tyranny of the elected, but that’s not the English liberal tradition of Canada works. Everyone has the right to peaceful petition their government for redress of grievances, and it is the duty of the government to adress the grievances of its citizens.

  9.  @Robcroley  I called you an authoritarian because you are one. You’re advocating for the removal of peaceful protesters. Also, an ad hominem is saying you’re because of some derogatory label. I’m saying you’re wrong because you don’t under how the English liberal traditions Canada is part of. Sitting in a parked truck IS NOT an act of violence. Words have meaning, and you don’t get to just slap what ever negative word to something you find bad. You’ve tried it repeatedly.

  10.  @Robcroley  All totalitarian communist regimes have said they’re goal is to shape society and the people who make it up so that the government would just dissolve because it’s unnecessary anymore. People aren’t defined by what they say they support but what they actually support. Canada enacted internal borders. That’s the kind of thing the aforementioned totalitarian communist regimes do. Canada has also frozen bank accounts without doe process under Canadian law. Yes, an occupation requires force. There was no force used by the truckers, therefore it wasn’t an occupation. You don’t get to label things with a word then say what you’re labeling with said word must have those characteristics because you have labeled it as such. Tyranny is neither peaceful nor good governance, and you have tyrant. Jan. 6 was a protest that got out of hand because Pelosi didn’t put enough capitol police on crowd control. Why she did that, I have no idea.

  11. Tell that to the people who have filed law suits against and police who have arrested people for misgendering someone.

  12. No, it’s gonna be East Asia.

  13.  @Cesar1492Enjoyer  no, the Soviet Union wasn’t. Have you seen the cars they drove or how long the waiting list for them was? Do you know how many kinds of cheese they had: 1. They were better off than some countries, but they were far from prosperous

  14. He has mentioned he is.

  15. It’s demonstrably true. The French guy’s who started post modernism were a bunch marxists who were trying to cope with the the abject failure of communism. Rather than deal with the fact their favorite grand narrative was wrong, they set out to destroy all grand narratives.

  16. Shut up wumao.

  17. American “black culture” is lower class English culture mutated over time in the US. Also, people tend to be poor because they engage in particular behavior, rather than being poor causes particularly behavior.
    1
  18.  @cavaugnsharkey2699  nope, I’m right on both. “Black culture” is a variation of Southern culture, which in turn is a form of English culture. American culture is English culture with a bunch of different influences. The Koreans, the Japanese, and the Norwegians all used to be poor at the beginning of the 20th century. Now they’re all known for very high standards of living.

  19.  @cavaugnsharkey2699  1) the Scots, as much as they hate the thought, are mostly English in ancestry and culture. 2) yes, English with influences. You’re not disagreeing with me in fact, just semantics. 3) excluding the minor contributions like beat pattern and a few crops, there was very little African culture brought over to the US. The slave owners stamped what ever traces there were. Also, the American slave population was mostly born in the US. 4) Yes, once the outside factors keeping them poor were taken away, they were able to build prosperity. Other places without said problems are still poor because of cultural problems. Argentina should be on par with the US in quality of life, but their culture has screwed them over constantly for the last century.

  20. That’s true of a lot of stuff.

  21. Republics are a form of democracy. The words basically mean the same thing in Latin and Greek.

  22.  @eidoneverchoosen1171  I’m not arguing any form of democracy over another —I have my thoughts, but I’m not here to argue about that—; I’m just saying you’re making a false distinction between democracy and republicanism.

  23. No, the US is from a historical perspective a left wing country. It’s just modern European politics have gone over the cliff with how left they are.

  24.  @Hhifix  holy cow, you have no idea what you’re talking about. You just called empires and monarchies left wing, and I’m assuming you’re calling the Nazis moderates. The only places the constitution mentions religion it’s saying the government can’t force religion on people. Also, have you heard of the John Brown gun club? They love guns and are extremely left wing. Conservatives don’t disestablish the church or rebel against their monarch.

  25.  @Hhifix  the constitution doesn’t mention god anywhere. It’s not a long document. You can read the whole thing in just a couple minutes. You seem to be confusing the constitution with the Declaration of Independence, but even then, it doesn’t say “god” but “our creator”. If you’re religious, that can mean a creator god, but if you’re not that is the process of evolution. Or you can believe it was aliens for all I care. Knowledge and expertise are demonstrated, not asserted, which is why an appeal to authority is a logical fallacy. “[J]ust because they are left wing doesn’t mean they aren’t supporting a Right wing ideology,”only a college grad can say something so contradictory. The rest is just nonsensical rambling and bald faced lies, like saying the Nazis were trying to destroy religion

  26. Russia was hoping this would be a quick war that ended before anyone could start moving equipment. It’s now turning into a war of attrition
    1
  27.  @grugnotice7746  no mind reading. All I and others have done is look at Russia’s actions. NATO is trying to kill Russia’s ambitions in Ukraine so there’s no direct conflict, which could easily lead to Russia being desperate enough to use nukes.

  28.  @grugnotice7746  you’re apparently unhinged

  29. Most revolutions are about replacing the current elite with people who they think will run things better.

  30. More people in Spain are part of the the R1b haploid than Germany, and Spanish is a Latin language. Yeah, Spain is European.

  31. The US is re-industrializing faster than ever before in US history.

  32.  @jameswilliams2182  with unreliable overseas supply networks and automation it’s very much happening

  33. Compared to Europe or China, the US has very little bureaucracy outside of the major cities.

  34. Land routes almost always lose out to sea routes because of cost, and frankly the US doesn’t need or want trade with more than a few countries, all of whom are outside of BRI.

  35.  @meocean5499  not needing trade doesn’t make the US irrelevant, and China is decades behind the US in terms of technology. China still hasn’t produced a high performance jet engines. China is only just catching up to what the US did in the 70s. The US vehicle market is dominated by trucks and SUVs, something the Germans don’t really make. Also, car sells in China peaked a couple years ago.

  36. Trucker were threatening to boycott certain cities in 2020 over safety concerns from the BLM riots

  37. Because the US has a fairly close relationship with Taiwan

  38. @Nick Gerr neither. The US doesn’t care about the wheat and other stuff from Ukraine, and if anything, some chaos in the SCS serves the US’s peruses of weakening China.

  39. Air and gravity are easy enough to make, and water is all over in space.

  40.  @jeromewright93  were far from machines replacing humans at everything or even most things. Second, we want to grow, not just die stuck on a tiny little bit of dust no matter how nice it might be.

  41.  @dynamitebsb4520  no one took anything from anyone. Try arguing against things people actually said.

  42. The left disregards a lot more basic science and math than the “right”. Also, the federal government is supposed to do as little as possible meaning we don’t need someone smart or talented most of the time.

  43. You’re a snobbish Canadian royalist the sounds of. Although, you might be a bitter Brit who wants to rebuild the empire.

  44. The woke have driven so many people off that they’re now the plurality and heading for majority on the left.
