Your modern Leftists have improved on this, and now pride themselves on refusing to give a hearing to other views. You're a case in point.

He literally asked you for your views and you said no and started ranting about wokeness. So juvenile and silly. But that’s par.

The people that worship at the alter of Woke was one of the stupidest, almost parody like things I've read in a long time. It sounds like something a normal person would say while mockingly impersonating a Rogan bro/far right moron that thinks TEH WOKE CULTURE IS RUINING MA WORLDS, CANADER IS THE MOST F****ED country in teh world because woke TRUDEAU@!!

Can anyone explain that like I'm five years old? because I'm not seeing how that's a tax payer problem vs an ownership group problem.

You've confused the issues here.

The topic of conversation of the posts you quoted was: would a new building help attendance? And yes, that's an ownership problem.

You are trying to posit that those posts were arguing that the improved attendance is why the city should invest in it. But the city's gaols are a separate issue, and that claim was never made. I have stated multiple times that the city's primary driving force for investing in a new building is revitalization of east village, and similar, related goals. The city has stated this publicly and directly.
