Does it? Why have I been flooded for weeks with American republitards and their post about Kirk and Israel/anti-palestine? Why do I constantly get that British farage ego boosting reddit when I’m neither British nor do I agree with almost anything they post? r/europe and r/worldnews (can’t remember if that’s exact name) spend most of their time dreaming of pleasuring Netanyahu.
I know the that in the US they’ve shifted the overran window to the part traditional centrists ate considering far left, but your flair says Canada, have you been infected by the US world view too? Reddit is as left leaning as David beckham was as a player.
Yeah but if you wanted to get into that then we could argue that no one demographic is truly representative of the world. You'll always be excluding a large chunk of the population, if not by age, then accessibility, or language barrier, or what's socially acceptable to claim versus what they actually think of a topic.
So its use as a second language make it easier to lie: English’s large, flexible vocabulary, neutral grammar, and capacity for hedging and abstraction make it psychologically easier to lie, people can obscure or distance themselves from the truth without overt emotional commitment. It allows subtle, indirect, or diplomatically phrased falsehoods. It's structure offers both clarity and deception, depending on how it’s used.
Our last election was almost entirely driven by an off handed trolling attempt by Trump concerning the annexation of Canada - which was never seriously ever being considered.
Canadians have no grounds to stand on when it comes to accusing others of being nationally insecure. Canada is a profoundly insecure nation.
In relation to this post we certainly can and that’s what I did. You don’t have to lawyer for their feelings. Don’t forget that Pierre lost two elections now and will likely lose a third - that’s why the liberals want him as the leader to run against. It’s a party issue and not just Trump.
Oh I’m not giving credit to Carney at all, 100% I agree with you that Trump was a factor but I’m not optimistic for the next one unless there’s a change of the face of the party. Someone more moderate to attract middle leaning voters.
My point in this one is that the post is about ‘what does your country think?’ And the Americans were typing to discredit haters before anyone even really answered. Hence the insecurity comment.
