Serious question, @benshapiro: if everything Trump does is “just trolling” whenever it’s indefensible, what exactly counts as reality anymore? You guys rail against renaming things—then cheer when he does it by executive order, with actual government work and taxpayer money behind it. It’s not a joke when the state is actually doing it. This is North Korea-level sycophancy.
@jasonsmithxy@ConradMBlack I pointed to factual, verifiable things about Conrad Black’s history and explained why they affect how much weight I give his views on Canada.
Your response is to insult me personally and declare that Conrad is smarter than essentially everyone alive. Ok.
I have to give you this: watching you desperately try to turn this into a partisan argument is pretty funny. You aligned yourself with, and then doubled down on, an American-style conservatism that now ultimately subjugates you, diminishing your country’s standing and your own dignity along with it. There is a certain schadenfreude in watching you discover that the people you spent years cheering for do not, in fact, regard you as an equal.
Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.
Canada may have a productivity problem, but apparently not in the professional rage-farming sector.
The White House literally announces that it is renaming a lake shared with Canada, and Josh Udall’s takeaway is that Canadians are being too emotional for noticing.
At some point, do you even engage with this stuff? It is so obviously engineered to invert reality, provoke anger and harvest engagement.
I’d like to think the better angels eventually win. That enough people look at content like this and simply say: no, I don’t need to hate anybody to understand what I’m seeing. I don’t need every fact filtered through partisan resentment. And I don’t need some guy on the internet manufacturing contrarianism and selling it back to me as insight.
Maybe the rage farmers keep farming. The rest of us don’t have to keep buying the crop.
