Fox news isn't the same as Chinese or American political interference.


It absolutely is. It's media channel created by the American oligarch class as part of its never-ending factional dispute with the clique currently in charge. When the current clique gets ousted in a few years, it'll become the official propaganda channel of the new regime. Just pure Baathist-style nonsense. Ban it.

No, however, these are not the same situation. Don't red herring me. And for the record, I don't think that George Floyd deserved to die or any of that bull. I think that protest is justified. I do not think, however, that the scale of protest in reaction was justified at all. That, to me, is an example of the left escalating a situation into more violence.

Of course it's really insignificant in comparison to the rise of the alt-right, but I was arguing against the opinion that the left is completely innocent, which is...wrong.

America is hardly an improvement over Rhodesia lmao wrt how it treats ethnic minorities. Hence the comparison.

A media station owned by the American oligarch class. Owned by a hereditary dynasty of business magnates, even its most popular presenter, the Baghdad Bob of the American political wasteland, is a scion of American dynastic wealth. Why should we engage with this sort of propaganda channel?

The Chinese government hate the west, they want to destroy America. They would broadcast opinions that have negative views on America, and would try to get the Canadians to join them.

And of course there was the BLM riots.

BLM is peaceful. Stop being a centrist and recognize a shooter is a shooter, and it doesn't matter if they're trans or not.

And yes, religion has been increasingly adverse to the liberty of the queer.

It speaks on behalf of the American political faction that still considers itself the legitimate government of that strife-ridden country, frequently broadcasting messages from the compound of its internally exiled former president and his government-in-waiting.

Again, why should we allow this sort of propaganda to be broadcast in Canada? At best, its merely an irrelevant distraction, at worst, a vehicle for that faction to meddle in Canadian affairs.

Is "centrist" the new "liberal" as an insult? I'm not, by the way. BLM was not peaceful btw. You can think it was justified if you want. But it wasn't peaceful.

And yes, a shooter is a shooter. But if attacks by white people on groups of minorities are political, why is a trans person shooting up a Catholic school not? Nothing justifies shooting innocent children.
