    I never claimed Gladue, Canada has utopian equality, actually. I couldn’t even point it out on a map. As another user pointed out, leftism ADVOCATES and works towards those ideals, which very clearly was what I was saying in context. If you had a functional frontal lobe, this might be an easier conversation for you. Maybe iron out the dent in your brain before trying to tackle big conversations, lil fella

    What point were you trying to make exactly, that your panties get twisted when centrists and the fascists they enable are rightfully called out? Again, not my responsibility to tolerate your intolerance.

    If you’re going to keep pestering me demanding an apology, I’ll save you some time and tell you that you won’t get it. Go to a fascist forum if you want validation that the left are a bunch of meanie extremists for advocating basic human rights.

    We’re assuming you’re a centrist because you’re very clearly trying to hold the exact position that the OP meme is mocking. My sarcasm is on point here because such a position is foolish and worthy of ridicule, and the hyperbole does an excellent job of pointing out the blatant falsehood of the entire political spectrum being equal.

    I have no obligation to entertain right-wing viewpoints, give them a platform, or respect anyone who thinks they are worth consideration. In fact, I have an obligation to the do the exact opposite in defense of the victims of those viewpoints coming to fruition.

    My advice would be to get off the fence and grow a thicker skin. No one likes centrists, especially whiny ones who think they’re above reproach or consequence.

    So when you get rightfully criticized, your response is to cry that all of your criticisms are made up and that everyone besides you is wrong and has a bad attitude

    If everyone you meet is an asshole, maybe you’re the asshole instead. But having that epiphany would involve you dropping that iconic “better than you” smugness that centrists love so much and giving a fuck about other people instead

    Thank God a brave centrist was willing to come here to criticize the left and defend the right to protect us from evil socialist extremism.

    Please, oh holy enlightened central one, tell us the errors of our thinking. Is it our sins of universal healthcare, anti-genocide, and equal rights for all?

    Please, oh please, do sermon us on the benefits of the right like unregulated capitalism, environmental destruction, and thought policing



  • See now you’re all over the place. You just blamed capitalism and immigrants both for this scenario, and now you’re backtracking and saying both are neutral.

    You’re avoiding my points and not answering the question. How exactly did the immigrant wrong you in the above scenario?


  • You are saying that, though. By saying both of them are at fault, you are implicitly stating that the immigrant did something wrong in this scenario. By your logic, you also did something wrong by applying for the job. It is highly likely the person before you was also being paid more and you got the job for less, making you exactly the same as the immigrant in this scenario.

    How exactly, and be direct, did the immigrant wrong you here by seeking employment? Again, they do not know the background that you specifically were cut. The capitalist does, however.


  • The immigrant didn’t cost anyone their job, try to put the corpo boot down for a second and think. The capitalist cost you your job, because they can exploit someone else better than you at both of your expenses. You lose a high paying job, and immigrant gets less rights and a lower wage than someone with your privilege would have. The capitalist could afford to hire both of you with decent wages and benefits, and as a worker you know there is plenty of work you could use more people to help with.

    The immigrant did not attack you and steal anything from you, they were looking for an opportunity to provide for themselves and their family just like you when you were looking for that job. They weren’t in the board room when the execs decided you were too much of a problem legally and financially.

    Edit: User started editing their posts and is just parroting the same phrase over and over and not answering questions to further the debate. Either they’re hopelessly clueless and knee-deep in the corpo propaganda or they’re just really bad a trolling. Not worth debating further, imo.
