Shirts That Go Hard

And that shirt is pretty mild. Although good.

This is Canada. So while the below excerpt may make it seem mild and OK by US standards, this is the type of thing that led to where the US is today.

Cowichan-Malahat-Langford MP Jeff Kibble, who hosted the town hall, said he wasn’t aware of the women being asked to leave at the time, and was “saddened” to hear about it. He said he’s been in contact with Koons and the other two women and agreed to meet with them for a coffee sometime this week to offer them the opportunity to discuss their concerns and points of view, and answer any questions they had hoped to ask at the town hall. Kibble said they are welcome to wear any T-shirt they want at the meeting.

She had presumably forgotten that conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Well from the conservative perspective, it does

They'd no longer have the "right" to discriminate at random

They'd no longer have the "right" to force their religion down everyone's throat

They'd no longer have a the "right" to behave like a complete dick

I mean, they stand to lose a lot, y'know

That shirt directly opposes the conservatives' bedrock beliefs

Conservatives: “actually it is pie and there’s none for you”

Most full of shit people ever end up being totally full of shit. Big surprise.

He said he’s been in contact with Koons and the other two women and agreed to meet with them for a coffee sometime this week to offer them the opportunity to discuss their concerns and points of view, and answer any questions they had hoped to ask at the town hall.

A nice little tea party where everyone can ignore her and whatever she has to say won't be heard by conservative voters.

The "snowflake", "facts over feelings", and "anti-cancel culture" people don't actually stand behind their beliefs?

Ugh, it's honestly hard to pretend to be surprised anymore. Can we just change every headline about conservatives to say, "Giant pieces of shit are still shitty"?

Situations like this show how differently people interpret public spaces. Calm conversation and clear rules usually help more than escalation.

I mean, maybe my bar has been lowered to subterranean levels- but at least her local rep said she should have been allowed to stay and offered a private meeting so she could be heard.

RCMP said it was the event organizer, local guy said it was RCMP but it looks obvious to me this was Pollievre's team that was acting shitty. True to form for that jackass.

But in fact is like pie as those keeping you from equal rights are benefiting because of it. If that unfair disadvantage is lifted from you, they lose their benefit and that's why they can't allow it.

There is a very real aspect of loss that these people will feel if their unfair advantage is taken away.

a town hall featuring federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre

That's all you need to know. The man didn't even get re-elected in his riding and had to accept a hand-out spot from his fellow party member who decided to step aside.

Moderate conservatives are just finding out about the paradox of intolerance now?

They've promoted unrestricted free speech for years. Then the most intolerant speeches got loud, and now the supporters of intolerance feel entitled enough to take over and restrict their freedom of speech. That's text book!

Okay so despite agreeing with the message on the t-shirt, I am so fucking tired of all the media click-baitiness.

The article does not say whether this was a conservative woman who was "shocked" at being treated thusly (seriously? NOW you realize that your face is being eaten off, after all this time?) or an agitator (no judgement there but... are you really so "alarmed" then?), but it does say things like:

Kibble [the meeting organizer] said they are welcome to wear any T-shirt they want at the meeting. “I’m not sure who made the decision to ask them to leave, but the RCMP are in charge of risk assessment and I appreciate and thank them for leaving willingly,” Kibble said. “All people of all political beliefs and opinions were represented at the town hall and were welcome to participate in a healthy and respectful conversation. That’s what makes for a good democracy.”

Which aside from not being true (I seriously doubt that leftists were meant to feel "welcome" there), does not match the vibes that the article is trying to push in the title. And - no joke - the woman and the organizer are literally making plans to go for a coffee the following week, to engage in a more respectful dialogue.

Confirmation bias is a real thing, and I dislike how we make fun of it when conservatives do it, but ignore it when it is convenient. Why degrade ourselves to stoop to that level?

It can do though, if one of the rights you enjoy is the right over other people's bodies for example, then giving those people equal rights means you don't have the right to tell them what to do anymore. Which is why many men are against giving women rights.

Am I being stupid or does the article not state what the meeting was about? 

OK, but where can I get that tee?

Proto Indo European?
