Because they're giving into Russian propaganda

Stop both siding this nonsense.

You should look up what that word means

That's not what is happening. I know it's upsetting that there are people who believe differently than you do. That's what this article is about: that there exist people with some truly upsetting opinions, and furthermore, that we know a bit about their demographic make up.

The more you platform them the more voice and visibility they get, which ends up drawing support for this 51st nonsense. I don’t care to learn about the ignorant mindset of traitorous pieces of shit. They should stop voting for policies and parties that privilege the rich. But they’re too dumb for even that.

I recently met two Albertans out here in South Korea at a bar. They were on the other side of the bar from me, and when they walked past, I greeted them as an Ontarian and offered to shake their hands. They both declined the handshake and proudly announced, "We're not on the same team."

That was a few weeks ago. I'm still disturbed by it. I knew Albertans had a reputation because of the politicking there. But I hadn't realized it would be so blatant. That same night, two South Africans happily asked me my thoughts on Trump, and I was perhaps too honest in my first statement, and they grew upset with me and insisted he was good for Canadians and South Africans, both.

I left the bar not long after. Haven't seen those four come back, so there is a bright side to the story, at least.

They refused to shake your hand because you are from Ontario? What the heck.... they need mental health care.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah you don't get that in Alberta through

[–] LucJenson@lemm.ee 1 points 50 minutes ago

Well, that's comforting to hear!

Its a low taxed province, which could mean lower services. Oil fields, and trucks. It attracts the type of person that cares about themselves rather than society. (I'm generalizing of course, there are good people there also) There's a reason we call it Northern Texas, and it's just not because of the cowboy hats.

Angry that we're not freezing in the dark.

Lol they should fucking stay in South Korea. They are definately in the minority, it's a larger minority then most of Canadas opinion but goddamn they are still a minority. Should have told them to never fucking come back

[–] LucJenson@lemm.ee 1 points 49 minutes ago

No, I don't want them here, haha. This is my future home, I don't need that nonsense here! It's also my friend's bar, so I don't particularly want to ruin business for him. But I did talk with him about it later.
