  1. Shhh I remember this thread. Hey, don't you worry, shake it off, buddy!
  2. I understand your projection. Trump is projected to even win the popular vote comes election time. But maybe polls will flip if Queen Prom sings for Dementia Joe.
  3. The candidate Biden is so bad at containing its poop smell despite all the diapers layers, and all you have is queen prom dating the football guy as replacement. This is extremely interesting, sociologically speaking.
  4. That's right! She's the popular QUEEN dating a guy who plays FOOTBALL! She's a clear threat. Maybe she even will win prom!
  5. The number 1 preoccupation of the Democrats; A pop singer who dates a guy who plays Football. Can't run with Joe Biden, let's be groupies for a 34 years old who couldn't even be a VP.
  6. Not every billionaire. Just the billionaires the multi billionaires want to get rid of.
  7. Will the US just stop after Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Sudan, Yemen? Should we then fund a movement in Mexico to liberate Texas, New Mexico and California?
  8. Yeah ok, stupid Trudeau! We hate him! But can we stay on the topic please, lol.
  9. I don't think Americans priorities are safety over freedom. A country like Japan practices capital punishment despite its very low murder rate. But a country with a lot of murders like El Salvador probably has more of a compatibility with this way of ruling that Bukele pushes forward. I find it fascinating sociologically speaking, how it came to the point where imprisoning tens of thousand of people was the solution taken, and how it was popular.
  10. Yes, COVID was used by many authoritarians (not necessarily dictators but they are included in that bracket) such as Putin who still uses COVID to prevent demonstrations or strikes. Another example of a country which has stringent laws and punishment made crime virtually non existent compared to what was Russia post-USSR. For Bukele, it was a tool to get everyone at home and get the criminals in their nests.
  11. Very good point. It might come at a surprise for us, because we don't need those laws necessarily, but it works. A country with very strict laws and that give great punishments like Singapur is very much safer than many other countries. Rwanda in Africa also follows that pattern. If you walk on grass you get a hefty fine (for their standards of living) or even get hit with a baton by the police officer who catches you. It's also called the Singapur of Africa for that reason and it is thriving much more than almost all of its neighbors, if not all of them.
  12. The fact is, before the mass incarceration that truly began in the 1990s, there was more crime in the US. It's not a long term solution for many reasons you would give to be against, but if you have a crisis, it's prescribed in some instances. No, but I give it the most credit. What else do you think made El Salvador considerably safer?
  13. El Salvador had a homicide rate of 36 murders for 100 000 inhabitants back in 2019. It has trended down to 7.8 in 2022. How did they achieve such a feat? By incarcerating criminals, fast. Nayib Bukele, elected in 2019 has made it clear that law and order was his first priority, building a huge prison for El Salvador's criminals swiftly. He increased the salaries of the country's troops and the police. He even unfortunately went so far as to have cause innocents to be jailed as trials were expedited, it has been denounced by numerous NGOs. Bukele has kind of an authoritarian approach to things, and will represent himself once again for El Salvador's next election. I found El Salvador's steps to be in line with the mentality in much poorer countries than Canada. What is happening there could be imitated by Ecuador which has many cartels trying to run the country. Is it better to run a developing country ridden with crime this way? I think we have the proof that might be the case that dread has its virtues when it comes to some social issues in some parts of the world. I also think that this kind of policies will run out of its logic at one point as the cost of imprisoning such a huge chunk of its population will lead to economical losses. What are your thoughts on the matter? Is it moral to bring down crime this way? Please move this to Rest of the World subsection of this forum.
  14. Enjoy practising what you preach. I really wish you that for the war in Ukraine.
  15. No one would even let him be a dictator. There are way too many people and laws in the ways of a President. This kind of fear mongering is as laughable as to be scared of a communistic takeover of America. It's a distraction. But we see it is working, look at this circlejerk in this thread already.
  16. Isn't it extremist to not enforce border laws and allow the entrance of millions of illegal immigrants?
  17. There is a big difference. You may go to Ukraine and die for your ideals there, enroll now if you mean what you believe in. On the other hand, you are not qualified to be a doctor and will never be. In every war, there is a war mongerer like you, at the comfort of its mother's basement, calling for war... that others will fight for, while you're on your couch. You are an armchair general, a keyboard warrior, a chickenhawk. You would never, ever fight in real life, let it be in a war you so desire. I dare you to fight the same way and sacrifice your own life as much as you want others to do so in Ukraine for "freedom" as you said.
  18. Wait, I thought you were for the Just War in Ukraine? Why do you feel insulted? I would even pay for your funerals if you went there to defend your ideals. Putin is Hitler!! I am smart.
  19. I agree with you. That's why I'm willing to give you 10K for the plane ticket and the coffin. It's for freedom. It's a just war. Please, take my donation and fight for Ukraine.
  20. Of course, it doesn't exist, and it isn't his fault. He's nice and he likes ice cream. And he doesn't mean tweet. That's what matters. I understand that you're for your 'moral war'. It's OK, and I wish you to fight for it. I would gladly pay your one way ticket to Kiev. Coffin included.
  21. But we have a nice warmongering, corrupt president at this moment, and it doesn't even make you bat an eye. Thank you for your moral compass though.
  22. I don't think it should be prohibited if no calls to concrete action is done or no defamation in the sense of making stuff up is done. I believe I can say I hate a certain person or a certain group. The laws in Canada in my opinion are way too stringent when it comes to that. And not being able to say that you hate something or someone has a kind of a Streisand-like effect where it becomes more subtle and ingrained to hate. There have been waaaay more historical evidences to when censorship went too far for power hungry freaks than examples of the contrary to which freedom of expression was abused. I'm not saying it's non-existent, but the consequences we have to go through under a regime in which freedom of expression is oppressed vs when free speech is allowed are way worse for the former than the ladder.
