  • The vast majority of the Bible was simply guidelines to keep people healthy and happy. All this “the skin of the pig is unclean” stuff? They hadn’t figured out germs yet. No sex until marriage? No contraceptives, so don’t create in cared for children. I won’t waste my time on it but, when examined in context, this is the vast majority, if not the entirety of the bible: lessons on how to be safe and happy relative the time, made digestable and relevant to the common person.

    Sucks they had to get there via fear of imaginary, post-life pain, and it sucks twice as hard that they’ve neglected to rationalize that part as the rest of the belief structure has modernized.





  • And nearly half are “not concerned” about Trump annexing Canada. What boulder are these people living under?

    Of course not. A lot of them are salivating at the thought. Polievere is literally running the Republican playbook right now; the CPC voters are either voting CPC because they just check that box and don’t think about it very much, or they’re actively repugnant people who look at what’s going on in the US and unironically think, “I wish that were me.”







  • I have no way to respond to this both honestly and in a way that doesn’t either inherently insult your intelligence, or call you out for what I believe you are. So, on the off chance that I am mistaken about what your account is, apologies.

    Your citations do not say what you think they say, and the conclusions you are attempting to draw from them are incorrect. You are, in no uncertain terms, using true facts to make dishonest, or simply painfully stupid conclusions. And I think your two month old account which has almost exclusively posted CPC propaganda exists to do this on purpose. Consider building a real platform focused on the needs of Canadian, instead of playing identity politics all day and seeking to tear down political opponents. But, if they did that, the CPC would be a fundamentally different party, so I clearly am asking for too much.

    Stop insulting the intelligence of Canadians everywhere with these inane attempts to mislead us, and fuck off.



  • Your “citations” do not say the things that you claim they do.

    Yes, Canada has an issue with migrants workers being treated poorly. The conclusions you draw about this are at best misinformed, and at worse downright lies.

    The CPC is using housing issues as a scapegoat. We can support our immigration markers. We have failed to do so, but the answer isn’t to halt immigration; it’s to build homes, and enact laws and policies to ensure those homes go to Canadian citizens who intend to live in them. But, as always, conservatives would rather blame brown people than solve problems. What a fuckin’ twist.







  • I’d argue that sexual expression is insanely repressed, and that celebrating it openly is more in line with the LGBTQ+ movement than you realize.

    I mean, look at this thread. We have a majority upvoted comment calling this person mentally ill. Another insinuating that they’re a child predator. Just for being willing to express a non-normative opinion on sexuality. That’s not that different from the right-wing chuds calling trans people mentally ill as the modern stand-in for the r-slur, which in turn is a modern stand-in for “doing a socially unacceptable thing that I don’t like and should be ashamed.”

    Personally, I think this person’s choices are in poor taste. But I get it. I get why someone would want to do this in a world where they’re constantly told they’re strange and wrong for the way they’re wired, so long as that wiring doesn’t cause harm to others.
