Unless the manager lied about what they were doing in Starbucks it’s not a false report. A store can legally throw out anyone they choose (of course they can’t legally throw out only the black people without violating the Civil Rights Act, but the police dispatchers aren’t in a position to assess whether someone is…

Fuck yourself with your edge.

Canada is the “conservative” version of America, as in it remained a loyalist monarchy while America experimented with a then-radical form of democracy. Canada only won the right to amend its own constitution in 1982(!) It has navy ships with names like HMCS (Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship) Halifax. The courts have names…

He’s in a state-run facility on state charges, not a federal facility. DOJ only handles federal prosecutions.

hot take.

He took a family vacation to India, planned one day of events, got ignored by everyone important in the country for the most part, dressed like asked a Bollywood costume designer to do his wardrobe, and then invited someone who was convicted of attempted murder of an Indian cabinet member to an official reception.…

He looked like a total asshole. Do you think the Indian PM parades around in highland dress like Braveheart when he visits Scotland?

I’m sad your country isn’t still ruled by the Danes. If any people deserve to be colonized it’s the Swedes.

Yeah. To me it’s not obvious that it’s a smart move. I’m sure Monique Judge would be singing a different tune on the merits of this management strategy if The Root got a new boss and told everyone “you’re fired until I decide you’re worth keeping at this job.”

On the plus side at least his bipolar disorder is cured.

You’ll be fine as long as you’re not in Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba or New Brunswick. I hear they all suck.

Quick answer: there is no point.

So your idea of a win in this situation is the university using force to resist rule of law? Because overcoming lawful orders with force will somehow be _not_ fascist?

Devil’s advocate but is it hate speech when Quebecers advocate for a Quebec ethnostate or Catalonians advocate for a Catalonian ethnostate or Basques advocate for a Basque ethnostate?

Sex “acts” aren’t speech. Porn is widely available in the US.

The countries you’re talking about are almost universally more liberal and pro-gay than the huge swaths of America that are conservative. Canada managing to have a hate speech law that doesn’t lead to anti-gay persecution isn’t surprising because Canadians for the most part don’t hate gays.

Gay people oppose conversion therapy. Christian group says conversion therapy is core to their theology. Alabama says gay group not allowed to speak because their values are anti-Christian.

Why just our country? Why not the whole human race? 5000 BC to now seems a good enough run.

I know exactly what you mean. Both sides are often super self righteous, deliberately obtuse and convinced of their adversaries’ bad faith. It’s painful to read.

Move the goalposts much?
