Don’t be ridiculous. Canada is a liberal democracy, Cuba is a tyranny. To imply that one is becoming another due to mask and vax mandates is absurd.

What is the US?

State your point or go away.

First of all, check your tone. You don’t get to send me or anybody else away.

Canada is no more a “liberal democracy” than the US, yet you seem to have no problem believing the Trump administration was disappearing protestors off the streets just two short years ago.

Supreme_War_Pig:

My point: I’ve been here a long time, and you guys are forever posting dire predictions of Tyranny that never seems to materialize.

I’m pretty stoned, so I forgot to mention that I’m not, “you guys.”

I want a world of civilized violence. Always have. It’s been a winning factor in my life long before I joined the Army.

WuWei:

You can ignore the authoritarianism in your so-called “liberal democracies” if you want to, but you can’t deny it.

Sure. But it is also a spectrum, and Cuba is much further along the track to Tyranny than Canada is. That is simply self evident fact.

WuWei:

First of all, check your tone. You don’t get to send me or anybody else away.

Yup, here you are. Again. Turns out that maybe that was more of a colloquialism.

They were. I don’t have problems believing it. Point and purpose?

Now we can have a conversation, I will agree with the stipulation that it the same track.

Supreme_War_Pig:

They were . I don’t have problems believing it. Point and purpose?

Then on what basis do you dismiss the possibility in Canada?

A typo.

In 50 more years, right? You’ll probably have to send me a dm on Truth Social by then. lol

But in case you missed the point earlier, the key to any ideological takeover is incremental, little bits at a time.

By the time you average citizen types with your “get back to me in 50 years” reasoning limits ever think enough is enough, it’s always too late, and then it’s a big emotional tragedy that no one else in the world can understand how y’all let it happen, because it all started with you, the voter.

Supreme_War_Pig · 2022-02-20T01:46:36.747Z

Okay, thanks.

WuWei:

I have not, not have I ever dismissed the possibility.

I am just saying that to compare the two, given their current positions on the spectrum is absurd.

Supreme_War_Pig · 2022-02-20T01:47:51.352Z

In other words, you are wishcasting.

Look around: we are knee deep in failed predictions

SixFoot · 2022-02-20T01:50:01.303Z

Oddly enough, every single one of my predictions 2 years ago have already come true. Enjoy more of those Quagmires with No End in Sight that you used to (R)ail against (yes, I actually remember).

Apologies.

Canada does not have murder squads, torture rooms, and complete control of the media.

You simply can’t compare Cuba to Canada with any credibility.

Are you saying the Cubans do? And we ignored it?

How do you know what the Canadian government does or does not have?

Don’t be ridiculous. Canada is a liberal democracy, Cuba is a tyranny. To imply that one is becoming another due to mask and vax mandates is absurd.

When you make a statement like that, first someone ought to have implied what you say was implied. Nobody has.

“We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom and relief from the tragic grip of the pandemic and from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime.”

Echos my thoughts perfectly.

…but not your vote. You vote for people who wanted to legitimize Castro and his ideology.

I disagree. It is merely a difference of degree.

Well then, you haven’t been paying attention. Not to this thread, and certainly not to this forum.

That is just nonsense. But okay then.

In a world where Canada is just as bad as Cuba, you and I have nothing to discuss.

WuWei · 2022-02-20T04:49:16.220Z

I would say Canada is worse.

Canada let the citizens believe they are free.

Cubans are under no such delusions.

It’s the cruelty.
