It shouldn't, but it still surprises me just how little the whinging right understand about how anything they complain about works.

And then you remember they also vote, and then it becomes depressing.

6. Adopting measures which restrict freedom of the press

7. Mandating against a person's right to decide what goes into their bodies

Look, as long as they can order steroids from a sketchy site on the internet and inject it into their stomach, they'll be happy. But beyond that? Too woke.

Or they are purposefully using incorrect and misleading language to promote their hot take. Either way it’s not useful.

I suppose it’s possible he was jealous of flamesfever getting ratio’d that hard and wanted a sweet little piece of that attention.

Just the one that has claimed multiple times that he is ready to move back to China and that believes it is better to live in Red China than Alberta.

This is every single diehard conservative I've ever talked to, they simply can't discuss anything beyond the surface level talking points. Conservativism thrives on ignorance, in fact it demands it, because doing real reading into any of the points flamesfever or others have parroted here unravels them pretty quickly. And they can't let things like facts and statistics cloud their rigid beliefs, so they're just ignored

Its a shame. There are smart and serious "conservatives". Indeed, society needs smart and serious "conservatives". They hold people who advocate for change accountable (in the sense of having to justify why change is necessary or beneficial). They hold people who advocate for regulation, taxation or social programs accountable (in the sense of having to justify why the regulation, tax or social program is necessary of beneficial). It just feels like we don't hear those voices very often any more.

Since you're hitting the "red china" thing hard, you know he said Hong Kong right? Hong Kong is China but certainly not "red" China. It's a whole thing buddy. Read up on it.

Hong Kong also happens to be one of the greatest cities on earth.

I mean, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Chongqing, etc, too, but you know... "red China".

Changed your post? It is a direct quote although I missed copying the first letter (if that is what you are getting at.)

Do you agree with Johnny that living in Red China is better than Alberta as he claims?
