If it's a choice of immigrant groups to point the finger at, the Indians will be the absolute last on my list. While living in Toronto I've lived in a predominantly Indian area (Gerrard & Coxwell) and also a Muslim area (East York / Danforth), and I can tell you I always felt welcome and well treated by the Indians, but like an unwelcome foreign interloper when interacting with the Muslims. With very few exceptions that's been my overwhelming experience any time I've interacted with either group. Also the Indian food is delicious and inexpensive, unlike most of the Muslim's food which tastes like char broiled dogshit. Can't say I appreciate either group's musical tastes. But if I have to live side-by-side with either one, I'll take the Indians by a long shot. They're also far less likely to want to behead me with a machete for practising my religion.
I don't have any such desire. I am fine with Indians being here. Most of the folks I know personally are at least 2nd generation, and are just as Canadian as myself. If I were to be that ignorant towards immigrants, I'd have to insist we all pack our bags and leave the native people in peace to regain back their own lands. Anything less is hypocritical BS.
As to Muslims, just like Jews and Christians, my issue is that their religion historically makes them bigots towards those of other belief systems. It's only a matter of degrees how much, with that bigotry constantly bubbling beneath the surface waiting for the next excuse to erupt violently. I suspect your own opinions to be of that ilk tbh.
Until someone can point to some actual statistics that demonstrate it, I can only chalk up the recent finger pointing at Indian immigrants as ethnic/religious bigotry, much of which is being promoted by conservative media outlets ostensibly on the basis of Christian nationalism. Then there's the Khalistani angle which domestically speaking goes back to the Air India Flight 182 bombing in 1985. Muslims have been no less the beneficiaries of government programs, though a lot of it is sponsored by Aga Khan and the Saudi Royal family, etc with the intent of normalising Islamic ideology/politics globally.
Our government (especially Liberals and their NDP butt buddies) is way more interested in virtue signalling than in doing their job of providing the services taxpayers are supposedly paying for. In my experience our government will lavish luxuries on any foreign group with their hand out if it would make them seem holier than thou for a photo-op, even while regular born and raised Canadians are forced out onto the streets in the hundreds of thousands, and with millions more struggling to shelter and feed themselves and their families.
It's a metaphor. If there was only One God (Atum) at the beginning, how else did it procreate except through an act of masturbation? The only people who take that stuff literally are those who never matured enough to be able to distinguish fantasy from reality.
The thalamocortical structure (the part of the brain necessary for consciousness), doesn't develop until the 26th week of pregnancy. Prior to that a fetus is no more a conscious living being than a haemorrhoid. Far less than 1% of abortions take place after that, and only in cases where there is abnormal fetal development and/or serious health risks to mother and baby.
I do this repeatedly every day to get the content I'm interested in without the tracking. Plus many sites that are paywalled or require registration still contain the full article text in the HTML source and just obscure it using JS.
I agree. It's mostly semantics. It seems to me that the right/left spectrum tends to wrap around like a circle once you get to the extreme margins, such that for all practical purposes there's really no difference.
If it calls itself Communist, then it's probably Communist in terms of ideological roots. So, take your pick of whichever states identify as such today. Same as NS was/is just as legitimately Socialist. Both are failed ideologies that dumb sheeple keep trying over and over in spite of that fact because they never learn from their mistakes. It's far more appealing for some reason to wank off in front of the mirror of their delusions of grandeur.
> Can you even understand English?
Yep. Better than you understand either rudimentary logic or history.
It's okay. Our Gods don't want you. You think Pagans died out, but we invented the idea of resurrection. You just bastardised an idea you don't even understand.
Hell, even the Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, are originally temples to Aphrodite and Adonis built by Hadrian in the 2nd century CE. You can't even get your own holy sites without just stealing someone else's and changing the name and date long after the fact.
As to the Irminsul ... it's a tree. It left a lot of acorns on the ground.
Meanwhile Judgaism, Christinanity and Islame are all wannabe Pagan ideas which wouldn't have a theology in the first place without first plagiarising and bastardising NeoPlatonism and other Pagan myths into a misshapen retarded superstition. You people don't even understand your own belief system properly, nor it's history, much less have a credible basis to judge anyone else's. It's just a pseudohistorical fairy tale for gullible retards to regurgitate ad nauseam because they can't distinguish fantasy from reality. 2,000 years of your genocidal mass delusions is enough. It will be a great cause for rejoicing when you childish halfwits and your ridiculous superstitions are wiped from the earth as a consequence of your own desire to kill each other over who's comical superhero is better than the others. --- drops mic ---
