Having the military defend the Constitution against tyrants is an idea baked into a lot of cultures, and is true of Turkey. It was a core idea of the Turkish Republic

Sorry I’ve been imprecise again, I meant the root comment that’s from Lung.

Fair enough, I’m not going to do a background check on every poster but I see that I was lumping your response in with the originator of the thread and could have given yours a more charitable interpretation.

It’s not for “asking a question”

1. I suspect the professionals looking into this potential fraud are going to think of these things.
2. when and how hard you choose to play devil’s advocate says something about you.
3. whether well intentioned or not this is Musk apologia at best, and excuses/misinformation at worst. I think our Transport Minister does basic diligence before asking for an investigation and having the story in the media.

We’re all used to these “centrist” / “just asking questions” types and how they only crawl out of their holes to play devil’s advocate for fascists, it’s tired.

but surely we have to go back to the Sassanids to find an analogue for current events

Capitalism, like cancer, will always try to grow and grow at the expense of anything else, even the survival of its host.

You can try to put rails on it, but capitalists will spend 100% of their effort using every bit of extra wealth they accumulate trying to take down that system.

Yes you’d buy some time, but the disease would still be there. Think about what kind of government you would need to have to keep capitalism under control at large scale: China seems to be able to pull it off. Is that the kind of government we want?

There’s nothing inherently noble about letting private dictators run swaths of the economy. Workers can and should run the economy. We don’t need to slow down the cancer we need to cut it out.

there is in Canada

lol what a fucking stupid thing to say

That’s a fair point, improving the subscription feed would be in their best interest for the people who use it, even if that number is low.

The problems with that feed which he touched on in the video are pretty significant. If you subscribe to channels that put out lots of content and ones that rarely do, it becomes much harder to use.

One thing he didn’t mention is also that it’s not conducive to discovering and gradually catching up on the back catalogue of a new channel, which is something the home feed excels at.

I’m sure YouTube prefers you use the home feed and has no plans to improve subscriptions, and there are real issues with it, so it’ll probably continue to decline.

I’m sorry I’ve been dragging them into the theater and making them play games they don’t want to play, it’s my fault

Famously Nazis were debated out of Europe

The point is that it’s not a game. Nazism cannot be tolerated and has to be met with strong resistance, even violence when it poses a threat. You are an enabler.

Yes when Nazis are rounding people up simply turn the other minority

and this idiot take is how you end up with a Nazi problem

Israel already illegally developed nuclear weapons on their own

I mean when do we start advocating for violence though?

Yes that’s another really good point. Any sort of foreign support from Russia or China or Europe that brings weapons in would mean a permanent thorn in their side, Canada wouldn’t see peace for decades, if at all. Similar to the quagmire in Afghanistan and Iraq.

That’s in addition to how easily we could strike at their home territory in cross border raids, which will be even more unacceptable domestically.

It’s the world’s longest border, a military defeat is certain but hundreds or thousands of Canadian partisans will easily get through to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage.
