It’s not even that hard to get guns here in Canada. I do not get what this US gun idiocy is all about.
Also, its liberals doing those things, not the Left. I really wish Americans would take the 30 seconds it takes to learn the difference. Its absolutely exhausting to constantly have to correct and explain.
Canadian gun culture and American gun culture is very very different. Unless you are on a range or hunting, you cannot have your firearm loaded or even unlocked in Canada. Most guns are limited to 5 rounds in the magazine and there are strict regulations around barrel length. Canada also has a loose gun registry for many of the firearms sold. Canada doesn’t have stand your ground or castle laws but genuine self defense is often okay after lengthy court processes.
You have to keep explaining it because you guys keep trying to shift the definition around. The way everyone else has always understood it, “Left” was always short for “Left-wing” and is the umbrella term for everything on the left end of the political spectrum. “Liberal”, “Socialist”, “Communist”, etc, are all subsets of “Left”.
No, nobody is changing the definitions, and liberal has never been part of the left. Wtf do you mean we keep changing it? Who is we? The actual leftists for as long as I’ve been alive who keep telling you liberals that you aren’t leftists? The countless books and essays and political figures from longer than I’ve been alive who are telling you that you aren’t part of the left? I mean MLK and Malcolm X immediately come to mind, so how is this a change in definition at all?
I’m sorry you don’t like the common colloquial understanding of the term “Left” but that’s what it means to the common person who isn’t steeped in political theory. Hence why leftist on here have to constantly point out that “Liberal” doesn’t fit their definition of “Left”.
No, its not OUR DEFINITION, it is THE DEFINITION, and American liberals keep trying to change it and then wonder why leftists wont vote for their candidates. Also only in the US is that the common term for the left. Because y’all dont want to read or learn anything and then dont understand why people get annoyed with you about it.
Well, thats fair, theres liberals who purposely don’t understand what words mean in every country, they just mostly seem to come from America. Doesn’t make your attitude any less annoying.
Liberalism has always included free markets and isn’t the left. It’s only the US dichotomy of liberal vs. conservative and the volume and reach their media has that confuses the issue.
I really wish Americans would take the 30 seconds it takes to learn the difference. Its absolutely exhausting to constantly have to correct and explain.
Fascist elites use the media to destroy the meaning of any word that poses a threat to power. “Liberal”, “Woke” “antifa” and countless others have all been deliberately beaten to death by repeated deliberate misuse. When a well meaning articulate thinker tries to discuss any matter of importance and uses a correct word, they find the person being spoken too misunderstands the topic because words mean something different to them.
Articulate intellectual discussion can’t disseminate to the public and compete with all the major news sources distorting language. Orwell warned us, but too many people can’t read.
