yeah. see i don’t care what ppl want to be called but the issues arise when they refuse to write M or F on government or health documents bc there are certain things that actually are dependent on your sex. but that’s their problem not mine tbh.

clearly the US, or your state at least, is in a much different situation than we are here in Canada.

i’m not even gonna bother with Frown because he literally copy+pastes every arguement he has without making a case for anything except “you’re wrong cause you’re wrong.”

anyway, this is my opinion and it’s mutha****in’ thanksgiving and i’m going to enjoy my meal so suck me.

Where do I copy and paste from?

Yes, our minimum wage is clearly less sufficient than yours. I don't even wanna think about minimum wage in Texas with elph. I'd probably be sleeping with all my co-workers under a bridge.

The two have nothing to do with each other. I'm not governed by some uniform code of antifa. Hating religion is well entrenched in anarchist theory, anyway. I also don't let hierarchical institutions like universities dictate how I think. Compared to me you're a generic cookie cutter thinker built by others to be completely in a predictable mold. There's not one iota of thought from you that suggests any kind of critical or original thinking. Real radicalism is more than saying and thinking I agree with my Marxist professor. It's about a brutal disdain for the status quo that burns through your core. You ain't got it, son. You don't have the hate in you. Poseur.

Well don't use false dilemmas if you don't want me pointing them out. Cost of living and wages are both factors, it's not an either/or situation.

Then run his words through Google and link us to the source it's stolen from.

It's a hammer and nail situation.

i know certain provinces have different issues but for most of Canada (outside of the territories and BC) the cost of living is relatively low in most areas and therefore while certainly not easy, it’s possible to make ends meet.

speaking of the territories, this is crazy Nunavut By The Numbers: Stats Show High Cost, Low Prospects Of Northern Life

unreal situation they are living in
