The Chinese are absolutely racist, you just need to Google it, and one just needs to look at all their violations of Taiwanese airspace to deduce they are sabre rattling too. Just because the US is worse does not change or mitigate that.

When she ascended it was very much a dying empire that still had many territories.

I would argue that the vast majority of the world is not in mourning. Her family, friends, and monarchophiles do not constitute even a double digit percentage of the world.

“Well, I WOULD argue it’s the exchange of all collected human knowledge, but yeah.”

The stuff the monarchy did generations ago has multi-generational effects. So yeah those complaints are valid. Being stripped of your land, for example, crushes a family’s ability to generate wealth and pass it down and poverty was absolutely a weapon that colonial powers employed to keep native populations subjugated.

Again you are not appreciating scale. No one is claiming that either Biden or the queen were evil. It is just absurdly stupid to suggest that we cannot examine and criticize the manner in which the British monarchy achieved its status in privilege simply because we live within the borders of a first world country. The…

Yeah, there’s a vast difference from being an incidental recipient of privilege (being born in the first world) and being the literal head of a monarchy that plundered the world for centuries. I’m sure you can appreciate that.

They’ll come after Jews long before they come after Catholics.

Hang on, you’re making roughly 250k CAD as a family (which puts you in the upper middle class that’s being subsidized to purchase EVs according to you) and your sensible price is 50k CAD for a car? I mean, unless your mortgage is through the roof what exactly is holding you back?

You brought men into this. Are you ok?

“Gabe Newell doesn’t seem to care that I brought millions of revenue to the table while his moderation team and VP’s will end up costing him millions in payroll.”

Because men engage in the behavior you are decrying and parasocial relationships are toxic and manipulative regardless of the gender. Just because the vast majority on the platform aren’t men doesn’t invalidate anything I said.

Men have OnlyFans accounts too you know.

I think you’re misunderstanding what mens rea is. It is not exclusively intent. In Canadian law, since this is Canada that we are talking about:

You don’t need to intend to murder someone to be convicted of murder.

The guy that who is an Afghanistan vet and does boatloads of charity work for injured and disabled veterans? He’s a class A asshole?

One person cannot accumulate excessive wealth without exploitation. This is a simple fact. Bezos did not become ultra-wealthy because he paid his employees fairly, the exact opposite actually. For Christ’s sake, Musk was only able to become as wealthy as he is because his family owned a mine in apartheid-era South…

“And they want to keep their money, not pay taxes for social services that OTHER people benefit from.”

This is such a smooth brained take that I seriously have to question how you seriously believe that progressive taxation somehow leads to everyone only being able to afford a cheap car. Even the countries with high taxation levels have millionaires and billionaires. Sweden has 45 billionaires and Koenigsegg is…

It’s irrelevant though. You do not need to intend to kill someone to be convicted of murder, otherwise it would exceedingly difficult to convict anyone or murder unless you had hard evidence they planned to do it. Reasonable doubt can be cast on intent which is why it is not as necessary as people think. It can be a…
