    .did you see the reception alex Ovenkin got from Calgary fans...he denounced Russia's acts many times, 

     

    No, he didn't.  He still supports Putin. Still has a picture of him and Putin on his Instagram. Won't take it down because he worries his family in Russia would then be targeted.... For this to make sense, you have to assume accusing Putin of potentially going after his family is not as insulting as removing an Instagram photo.

    While I agree lots of Russians are innocent victims in this, Ovechkin isn't one of them. He's always been a Putin loyalist and he still is.

  2. If halfwits are used for evil by people who are smarter than them, are they evil in the eyes of the Lord? Or does he recognize their inferior brains and forgive their evil because they know not what they do? 

    I imagine he gets a little old testament when their stupidity results in innocent people dying.

    I know after the past 6 or 7 years many have a distrust of the media and don't blindly follow whatever they say. That shouldn't be confused with being a Putin apologist

    I'm saying a significant number of the convoy social media has shifted to pro-Putin memes. Have you noticed this as well?

    My suspicions is: they're anti-everything.  

    This assumes they're not bots though ?

    They clearly aren't anti-Russia. The dumb Mennonite kid on my block growing up literally has memes about how Putin got the Nobel prize for curing covid. Last week it was all anti-vax. Crazy times.

    Curious what your chants are for more restrictions? Lock me down harder daddy? More state control? Lockdowns are freedom? Freedom is actually nazism?

    I don't chant at all because I don't give a shit. 

    But I like to watch to see how low you guys will go. As of this week, watching you on facebook, you're suddenly all extreme Putin loyalists. Why is that?

    Putin is taking advantage of a period of weakness in the US and NATO powers.  He knows that these countries have hobbled themselves with anti-energy green policies and equity policies that put representation above competence.  Now we essentially have NATO militaries that are weakened by internal struggles with MeToo inquisitions and equity programs that put considerations of representation above merit.  The west is weakened and less prepared for hard power challenges.  Putin has been signalling for years that he wants to maintain a buffer between Russia and NATO and that Ukraine is too culturally linked to Russia to flip to NATO.  There are many Russian speaking people in Eastern Ukraine and they have been under some attack from Ukraine nationalists, including Neo-Nazis.  That doesn’t excuse the invasion or hurting of innocent people.  Really this should end with some kind of assurance of protection for Eastern Ukraine and an assurance from Russia that Ukraine can maintain its democracy, perhaps with an assurance that Ukraine remains outside NATO.  Russia has to mend fences.

     

    You need to step away from the pro-Putin blogs.

  7. I was reading an interesting piece on the victimhood fetish common among the far-right, as exemplified by the freedumb convoy. It contended that it's an offshoot of evangelicalism, which has long used the tactic of brainwashing their followers into believing they are victims of the greater society. I think there's a lot of truth to it.

    A mostly peaceful cavalry charge. It was awesome.

    Yes, that's what I figured you'd say about that particular murder of protesters by mounted police. That's why I brought it up.

    Certainly makes you look delicate considering nobody on your side was even hurt. Not sure about the journalists you "peacefully" assaulted though

    I don't buy into the Klaus Schwab story, but I also don't understand why every leftist in the country was downplaying covid and giving the worst possible advice until the middle of March, and then they suddenly assumed declared themselves the champions of the fight against covid. Did a poll come out or something? 

     

    Also, I think you may have been sheltered in your echo chamber a little bit. I have come across lots of left-wingers who think the pandemic is a corporate plot to sell pharmaceuticals for profit. Some even think it was created by the single-use plastics industry because it has driven up of the price of plastic resin with all the plastic wrap and gloves and masks being manufactured.

    They tend to be people on the edges of the political spectrum who, for some reason, are incapable of understanding how impossible it would be to fake a worldwide pandemic. On the left, their numbers are lower (which is why you think they're invisible), but on the right, it seems, the idiots have taken over the asylum

    The opposite of that is what your government prefers. So lesson learned...the government can't handle non-violence...except with violence themselves...which they did...and you approve.

     

    Were you angry in 1919 when they rode in on horses and killed strikers in the street in Winnipeg? That was some real violence. Not an old lady posing for photographs pretending she was hurt.

    Which are you referring to? The one where he expresses concern over people being fired for not being sihk or the one where he expresses concern for foreign investors buying up the property and resources in Canada? 

    I think I was clear. The one where he says the Zionists are the root of all our problems.

    Don't know man. Think it's pretty self evident that there's alot of foreign buy up especially in big cities ?.

    Yeah, I was just showing how he is racist. I wasn't saying you don't agree with him.

    You gave up on that "quoting a globalist handbook" diversion pretty quick. You should have kept at it. I bet you could have convinced yourself.

    I hate Pat King now that I've seen his videos, but the enemy of my enemy is my [can't bring myself to say it]. It's like siding with Stalin to defeat Hitler in WWII. 

    So Trudeau wasn't out of line when he said there are racist elements in the convoy organization after all. He never called all anti-vaxxers racist. Just Pat King. And you admit now that was totally justified.
