Coffee Talk V: The Final Battle

Hey, that is your right to stick your head in the sand and pretend the world isn't falling apart around you. But don't say I didn't try to warn you.

You think what's going on in Canada and what went on in Australia and what it's like in New Zealand, and what's been going on here in Merica are not signs of the world moving towards global conflict? So Russia and China buddying up recently and both threatening war with neighboring countries they feel should be a part of theirs doesn't phase you?

No fallout shelter, too easy to be found, would turn out to be your tomb. But a grab and go backpack for survival in the woods wouldn't be a horrible idea. Life ain't going to be no party going forward, unless you love the Left, then it might be fun while it lasts?

The predictions of the end of times, days, whatever you want to call it, are coming from the far-right religious camp (and those who know they can make money off of them). They have always been there (as you noted the same behavior decades ago), they just have more platforms now to amplify their message. Not only are they convinced of this, but they want it to happen, with their twisted belief that they will be part of God's salvation. When you are convinced enough that something bad will happen, you will likely find a way to make it happen.

The real downfall of our society has already begun:

Why we believe alternative facts

Motivation, identity and ideology combine to undermine human judgment.

Oh, of course there are always people who want to make money off of others gullibility. That is not in any way restricted to people on the right. Holy sh1t I hope that is not what you are implying?

And the prediction and the evidence to back it up, which I did NOT just believe, but I'm open minded. Just because 100 previous false predictions were wrong, doesn't mean climate change isn't real, right? lol So we have plenty of doomsday predictors on the left, too, only difference is their religion. Leftists believe in the Cult of Self/Big Brother. They predict the end is near over and over and over saying climate change will end us, but their predictions have for a very very long time been wrong, I mean, not even close. In fact, for awhile the world was going to go into a new ice age, then they had to completely reverse their narrative, lol.

Emperor Trudeau didn't like her opinion, eh? Hang her I say. How dare she criticize Mr Black Face

This is obvious to most with any degree of intelligence. But you do know that studies have also shown that people on the Left are far more susceptible to this, right? Because they studied the thought patterns of people on the left and people on the right and found the people on the Right to be mentally balanced and those on the Left to be mentally imbalanced. That doesn't mean people on the Right can't be stupid or do dumb things or be misled. It's just that the presentation of facts and reason can more often influence people on the Right than those on the Left.

Your characterizations of "Leftists" and vague "studies have shown" are great examples of the identity bias mentioned in the article. Good job.

I would argue that her continued defiance of police orders to leave the area as well as engaging others to continue the blockade in downtown Ottawa are the reasons she was arrested.

Peaceful protests are illegal? Or just when the protesters opinion is not liked by the Emperor Trudeau?

And that's fine, THE MAN has always arrested peaceful protesters when they are protesting THE MAN. When the protesters are being violent and riotous but The Man likes their opinions, they are allowed to burn down cities, right?

You must be a Leftist, lol. And the fact you are not aware of the studies I was referring to show that you might not be as educated as you think you are? Nothing vague about them. The studies are very real and multiple sources have talked about them for years.

Very little about these protests were peaceful:

- Harassing/Threatening citizens wearing masks on the street
- Blaring horns non-stop 24/7
- Locking doors to an apartment building while attempting to set fire to that very same building
- Shutting down businesses for over three weeks

I have no issue with peaceful protests, but they cross the line when they infringe on the rights of other people who are trying to live their daily lives. These so called freedom protestors were taking away the very freedoms of other citizens.

"Very little about these protests were peaceful"??? Are you serious? Who gave you that impression? Leftist media sources maybe?


Sounds like you are pointing out isolated incidents and trying to make then into bigger than they were, trying to color thousands of people by the actions of a small few.


And Protests are meant to make people uncomfortable, to force a reaction.




Btw, weren't the mandates they were protesting a violation of their freedoms?

Maybe your H1tleresque Dictator Trudeau, Mr Black Face, should have tried talking to them and figuring something out a long time before it interfered with businesses? Could have nipped it in the bud a long time ago, but I suspect he wanted to use it to grab more power. Power he's publicly stated won't be given up anytime soon.

When I was in prison there was a guy everyone called rebar because he bludgeoned someone to death with a baseball bat. He used to preach end of times stuff and I would scoff but he told me he made a batch of toilet wine that would give me a vision to prove his point. Since I shared a cell with Milwaukee Larry, a fence out of Chicago who talked too much; I decided to try the toilet wine and see if I did get a vision. I was doubtful but I opened my mind and drank deep after Larry went to sleep. At first I thought nothing was going to happen, but then I heard a voice and to my amazement it made sense. As best as I can remember it was:

Protection, For gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about races, just places, faces
Where your blood comes from
Is where your space is
I've seen the light get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color

Rebar's toilet wine had opened my eyes to unseen machinations on a world wide scale. After that I kept to myself and got out early. I joined a militia, started getting my news from podcasts*, and studied musical theater and now await the apapol, apocolay, the apocalypse while performing at dinner theaters across the Pacific northwest.

Just a question - Do you think it emphasizes the point you're trying to make by adding name-calling and ad hominem labels to posters and political leaders? I'm no fan of Justin Trudeau and he's made more than his fair share of blunders, but as far as the blockades were concerned (and not just in Ottawa, but at the Ambassador Bridge and at the borders in Manitoba and Alberta), he was left with very little choice.

By the way, the Criminal Code of Canada states this pretty clearly:

The moment you start intentionally obstructing other people from going about their day, you’re probably entering the realm of behaviour that is considered criminal by the Government of Canada. The Criminal Code of Canada has a couple of rather broadly written sections that cover this. Section 423, for instance, makes it an indictable offence to compel “another person to abstain from doing anything that he or she has a lawful right to do, or to do anything that he or she has a lawful right to abstain from doing.”

In cases where protesters have been arrested for blockading roads or rail lines, however, they’re usually charged with mischief, which makes it illegal to obstruct or interfere with “the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property.”
