That’s not a tankie, that’s just a communist. Tankies are people who are specifically pro-authoritarian, as in people who think Russia is right to invade and take over Ukraine right now and won’t acknowledge anything Russia are doing that they criticize the US for.

You had to be prodded into blaming anything other than immigration and you still think illegal immigration is a significant problem in Canada.

At least you can detect there’s brainrot happening somewhere at least.

“I hate leftists because they won’t let me say the n-word”

There’s no way you can get “cheap disposable labour isn’t a tool of corporations” out of what I said. It’s literally the opposite of what I said. I referred to the more relevant parts of Marx’s work to the problems you think you identified. It’s pretty weird to use Marx only to comment on immigration policy and ignore anything he said about socioeconomics.

You’re getting upset I pointed out that you misapplied American political rhetoric to Canada. If you don’t like American politics, then stop using it. I’m the one telling you to leave American political rhetoric out.

He’s a lot of things but he’s not a tankie.

When you respond to a calm and reasonable opinion by instantly jumping to accusations of “glazing” and ironically write LMAO, then you sound like you’re more in line with Laura Loomer, who sounds just like this above.

It really shows everyone what kind of person responds so strongly to the guy.

“I’m not MAGA, they just hate the same people I hate and they have convenient talking points I can use!”

You brought up Marx. I went ahead and mentioned his racist, supremacist buddy. Why so offended?

Go back and re-read the comment I was replying to. Seems odd that someone who is the calm and collected one could miss that. The funny thing is that the thing I was referring to about Marx would actually be a criticism of Trudeau’s policies, so you’re actually taking the tack of defending Trudeau. Blindly defending Trudeau, basically.

Republicans are shit. Even maple-MAGA is starting to question if pushing all the strength into culture wars is a winning strategy. Pissing on USian racists is easy.

So then how did you get that implication?

Fixing our own and ourselves is harder. Being annoyed at Left doesn’t mean you’re chill with MAGA horseshit

When you start sounding closer to MAGA horeshit than anyone else, that annoyance might not be justified. Like, you know, suggesting that anyone left of MAGA are leftists and commies.

You have to completely ignore so much of the context to pretend like this is a genuine concern or line of argumentation.

I love how several of the commenters disagreeing with you just result in reinforcing your point.

It’s a flawed point, as many of those comments also pointed out.

But, yea, this is the overall thread.

People who aren’t perpetuating half-truths and whole lies like “Charlie Kirk disagreed with MAGA and Trump”?

For many, it’s a team sport and being on the right team means your murdering is OK.

Charlie Kirk did indeed cheer when ICE killed people.

Implying that illegal immigration is indeed a significant problem in USA?

That’s only the implication to someone who believes “Republican rhetoric” is truthful by nature. But who could possibly be that stupid?

Cuz I assure you, leftists and commies there still argue that illegal immigration is not at all a significant problem in USA.

So anyone that’s not a Republican is a leftist or commie?

Marx and Engles famously wrote a whole bunch of eurocentric and bigoted nonsense. Who takes those racist idiots seriously in 2026 other than confused commies?

The things the Republicans have been saying and doing are far more geocentric and bigoted but you just argued how they were in the right. Is your problem that what Marx and Engels wrote wasn’t stupid enough? But what does this have to do with the fact that what you’er mad at them for writing is more relevant than what they referred to Marx about. It’s weird you got so sidetracked by this that you brought in Engels out of nowhere too.

You’re not about to convince the majority that Trudeau era policy is not mass migration and is overall good for the average citizens.

It’d be weird if I did considering I wasn’t doing that at all.

Conveniently ignoring that the Conservatives also supported the same immigration expansion policies, more than the NDP too, I see.

Can you guess why Cons, despite how much they signalled total opposition to the Liberals, never actually disagreed with them on immigration? For a clue, look into how close knit both Liberals and Con politicians are with companies like Uber.

If you think neoliberal politics don’t serve corporations, you’re in for a shock.

You’ve been sold a fake bridge if you think all this is due to immigration alone, and not the end result of economic and political philosophies that Marx more famously wrote about.

I mean, c’mon, illegal immigration is not at all a significant problem in Canada. That’s borrowed Republican rhetoric from the US.

By not answering their direct question about the framing and scope of the conversation, it’s you that’s avoiding a conversation.

Dude was a working cook at a pizza place, not the head chef and partner at a fine dining restaurant.

Birth control and Plan B aren’t life or death medicines. Religious nutter pharmacists aren’t refusing to dispense insulin.

You’re working off some random definition he found on some bullshit name site to argue why he should not just ignore the family that made the name famous, but take it away from them. Let’s not pretend like you’re not using “AIPAC Shakur” as a loose Tupac reference.

And now you’re likening being against this to somehow also thinking referring to codifying fictional character must mean it’s an insult to all people named Tom? You know that’s not an equivalent situation.

It’s possible to be personally offended by someone being so fucking obtuse and neckbeardy about justifying a shitty thing they said. Your amorality is not a good enough defense, and it’s downright stupid to not consider how trying to rip away a famous name from a famous family just so you can use a racially coded insult is perfectly okay.

It would have been infinitely more respectable if you demonstrated the capacity to take a step back and see what the mistake was rather than doubling down off the back of some stupid baby name meaning site as if it’s a legitimate source.

You said it was a baseless assumption but it is clear it is already enshitified and people don’t care and still have positive sentiment.

You still don’t know what the original statement was.

You were clearly disputing his attribution that Steam is a monopoly.

LOL I’d never argue that. Steam is a textbook natural monopoly.

You even said retail exclusivity when that is not what he said in order to deny they were a monopoly.

You don’t know what retail exclusivity is.

You accuse me of bringing random things when you did it to begin with which I pointed with examples. Once again, why are you having a hard time with this.

Its random because its not relevant to what was actually said. The hardest time here seems to be you trying to figure out what other people have said.

I don’t have to accuse. I know you have not read about this.

You literally have given zero indication you’ve read your own link.
