MA-Horus posted:EDIT: Also, I don't understand why making fun of a man with PTSD is ok. Dallaire didn't get PTSD in Afghanistan from an IED for gently caress's sake, the poor son of a bitch was placed in the worst position in which an impossible decision had to be made. Yes he got drunk and pissed himself on a park bench. I would have blown my loving head off far before that point. It's not ok, but that's not going to stop people.

This is also somewhat amazing giving my dad is a difficult person to deal with in general, putting it lightly.

"My solution as a great woke ally: gently caress those apples who don't live on the res lol" Also the Romeo Dallaire thing is just CI degenerating into edge when it's not about the Vancouver housing market.

New Zealand has proportional Maori representation, country doesn't appear to be a failed state or an example of apartheid. Any real reason it couldn't work here?

Let's be clear here. When every single motherfucking degenerate Canadian soldier (and it seems like there's an abundance of garbage soldiers) who commits s heinous crime starts using PTSD as a loving defense (or their family) it's time to start asking ourselves if we are giving these motherfuckers too much of a loving pass to absolve themselves of responsibility. Kill your entire family and then yourself? No problem. Torture starve and sexually abuse your own son in a basement dungeon? No problem. Attempt to strangle your daughter to death? No problem. Kill your wife to death with dozens of stabs to the face? No problem. ptsd is a valid defense u guys

Any real reason it couldn't work here? NZ has a very effective and progressive electoral and representation system with Maori electorates that is only disliked by a small minority of anti-Maori racists. I doubt it would work in Canada because there is a much larger percentage of people here who are anti-First Nations (ie. racist as gently caress).

They're also using a PR system, which wouldn't instantly disenfranchise the vast majority of FN citizens with the way the system is set up because reservation fetishism is baked in both the activists and the ministry's view of how real first nations live.

The constitution says that provinces get represented in the HoC, not people (or FNs), so it'd require a constitutional amendment with the 7/50 formula. That's not impossible, but tough. (Realistically, you're not getting it done without Québec's assent, which means a whole other can of worms, and well)

So I don't know why you're such a prick about it. Yeah, it ticks me off because you're being douchey about it for absolutely no reason whatsoever. And troops with PTSD who commit crimes should not ever be given a "pass" just for having PTSD. It's a possible cause, never an excuse.

I just don't understand the point of being a dick in regards to what appear to be pretty decent people. If he had gotten PTSD after leading a My Lai-type massacre, sure. There are other targets out there to be dicks to that actually deserve it.

OK but America shows all the hallmarks of a fascist state so Mulcair isn't wrong. To whit: Authoritarian policies A nostalgia for a bygone era of influence High valuation of youth and vigour Reliance on a nebulously defined external enemy for legitimacy High levels of nationalism A "with us or against us" attitude toward national identity Extreme value placed on national symbols I think that covers most of the bases and draws strong parallels to Italian fascism Anyway, long story short Mulcair is right, it's news to nobody, and he's still an inconsequential bearded gnome.
