    Wow you must have had some following... A very angry one.

    [–]3346 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    Some very angry.

    Some very grateful.

    None to ever ban or content-suppress us.

    Canada isn't banning Churches.

    Remember, christnmusicreleases, what I told you about God's punishment for spreading fibs.

      See my thing below.

      This:

      closing of churches and banning of gatherings

      (Not that the churches are banned; big effing difference.)

        So you admit you have no idea how "banning churches" differs from "closing churches"?

          No.

          For example, most churches are closed much of the week, with the exception of Sunday services and occasional weekly gatherings. Closing them a bit longer is not a major problem. People can meet online and pray at home for a few weeks.

          If a church is banned, it cannot host people online or run other kinds of church services. It's not allowed to be a church if it is banned.

          "These are literal nazis we're dealing with." Oh Alex - don't ever change.

          So, some context:

          1. Alberta hasn't banned churches.

          2. Alberta has got a lot of COVID cases (for Canada). One of the serious hotspots for the province is the city of Calgary, where this church is located.

          3. As a result, there are gathering restrictions. For churches, that means in-person attendance is limited to 15 per cent of regular capacity.

          4. Alberta is Canada's Texas. There's very much a "don't tread on me" attitude there more than other places. The pastor of this church embodies that.

          5. The church defied the gathering restrictions multiple times. Therefore, this church was shut down.

          So in his summation, Alex said we've joined Communist China in shutting down churches coast to coast. That part isn't accurate.

            Perhaps you shouldn't believe in and repeat the usual lies of the alt-right disinformation campaigns. It's embarrassing. Have some self-respect, mate.

              socks is doing socks. You know, the kind that smell bad and can't ever be actually cleaned.

              What? I shouldn't believe in science, facts, and 99.99% of the rest of the world because /s/Iloveyounowfuckoff tells me to? Think about that for a second.

                None of this. Just consider your priorities: valuing facts or lies

                  u/Iloveyounowfuckoff, I am the poster boy for "can't let go". But even I myself have stopped responding to socks. He's just amusingly delirious in his authoritarian-but-clueless posts. He's quaint, and mostly harmless. Moreover, he believes himself, so that makes him entertaining too.

                  But you can respond to him if you like, I promise you'll get tired of it. But frankly, his BS wasn't even so bad as to warrant my use of the block function. ;-)

                    Really though is that all that impressive? Most people are kinda dumb.

                    Anyways, this is all just a red herring. The real problem is lizard people in the core. And we can't really afford to divide ourselves on relatively immaterial issues on what is surely the very eve of invasion. Humanity must come together as one people, united, and defeat the lizard menace together.

                    Very funny, Dinosaurysus

                    Excellent explanation.

                    Alex is not only innacurate, his profession is to spread as much disinformation and misinformation as possible.

                    If your community's right to vote, or free speech, or breathing were being 'restricted' to 15% because it makes people feel good about last year's flu x3 ... would you be okay with that?

                    This is pure totalitarianism and you're treating it like a toll road.

                    [–]hfxB0oyA 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

                    It might be totalitarianism as you say, but a whole lot more people are dying of this thing than typically die of the flu.

                    [–]SaidOverRed 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

                    Fair enough. I added "x3" because that is the difference in kill rate. So imagine 3 year's worth of flu seasons in 1 year and there ya go.

                    Ah, I didn't understand the "x3". Thanks for the clarification. :)

                    This persecution will only get worse until people fight back. All these persecuted people need to get together and agree on a new set of politicians they will elect. Do it outside the controlled social media platforms. Do it despite the mainstream media propaganda subverting them. And if they find that the electoral system is too rigged and broken they will know that it's time.
