Off the top of my head I can think of a gazillion things that could go wrong

This is an obscene over generalisation. America has, at the VERY minimum 100,000,000 people on the right side of the spectrum (likely a LOT more). Any vast group as part of a dichotomy, cannot possibly be divided into a group that can be remotely characterised in the way you have. It is foolish to even attempt to do so. You have painted a…[Read more]

No Enco, it is common knowledge by now that microwaves would be dangerous without a radiation shield. Should I want to have a microwave without one, so I can fully see my food, despite the ludicrous risk, I cannot…because the evil slave owning fascist government tries to control us and won’t allow it. You are justifying what should be, in your…[Read more]

Enco, multiple fallacies in your reply including false equivalency and slippery slope. Comparing seat belt laws with taking away virtually all autonomy from a human, is derranged Enco. Resisting a law because of civil considerations because of some paranoia it will lead to unbearable fascist control is ridiculous.  You are incapable of ever…[Read more]

Having laws against high pointless risk stupidities with the accompanying extremely easy to do and barely inconvenient hassles, is not unreasonable. Zheesh, some people are so bloody “I’ll do whatever the fuck I want, fuck your big government” that they cannot even see beyond their zealous ideology. I mean, controlling the sale of highly corrosive…[Read more]

Did Enco just refer to seatbelt laws as paternalistic slavery? Seriously? Like…I mean…on purpose?

It was about a draconian program to require vaccination.

Zheesh, next thing you know, government mandated use of seatbelts will be considered “draconian”. You have fallen so far off the deep end Unseen, I cannot take anything, and I mean ANYTHING you say seriously anymore. When you use words like “tyrannical” and “draconian” so casually, it’s…[Read more]

Rich, it would seem that when a government reacts to a long, highly disruptive protest at the gates of the democratic institutions, which in part was explicitly under the mission of “getting rid of a democratic government”, in reaction to something the overwhelming majority of Canadians had no problem with and violated no rights or laws, by taking…[Read more]

Unseen, you have officially fallen down the rabbit hole of the internet. You seem to simply swallow whatever certain people tell you without critically evaluating things for yourself. Your COVID conspiracy nuttery was sad, the blowing neo-naziism in Ukraine all out of proportion was scary, and the hyper generalisations of “wokism” was a red-flag,…[Read more]

LOL Simon that was a good one. I believe that America does indeed border the Atlantic ocean, and if memory serves me…it is in the Northern Portion of that Ocean? It would make sense that the US were in a North Atlantic Treaty indeed, especially considering that the whole thing was set up in the first place to ensure US geopolitical interests,…[Read more]

LOL on the one hand you get Americans saying that they “save the world” including “defending Europe” (somehow despite failing to help former Yugoslavia, Georgia and the Ukraine when Crimea is invaded) and then you have others complaining that the same amount spent on US corporate welfare is spent on Ukraine (which by the way, still contributes to…[Read more]

It’s called creating a moral hazard or just enabling shitty behavior, which means you get more of it!

 I wish sometimes you’d reflect your claims and statements back on your own ideology. You might remember a decade and a half ago, all sorts of banks going bust because of the moral hazards set up by an unregulated or underregulated economic sy…[Read more]

It would seem you are asserting that wokeism is merely a fringe activity or a false narrative…without any evidence of your own. But surely you know that lack of evidence for something isn’t evidence that it is false, either

I’m just going to hope, Unseen, that this lapse in critical thinking skills, is just a temporary issue.

It seems, Unseen, you have completely forgotten what evidence means.
