But everybody said about Trumps tariffs, that the American people will have to pay them. Can somebody explain why Canada keeping the Tariffs is good then? Aren't it the Canadian people paying for them?

Honest question btw, I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm just a bit slow sometimes.

Edit: Thanks for the explanations, I think I have a better understanding now. Tariffs hurt the consumer and the foreign industrie, but Canadians are rdy to pay that price for their sovereignity.

Show me one example, please. In my experience the message for his followers is absolutely the same. He speakes about Buddha, about kindness and wisdom and how to apply the Buddhas words in the modern world.

I have seen quite a few events now that he has held for Tibtain monks and nuns and that were provided with English subtitles. I see no different message there, than he has for his western audiences. Of course, there is a difference in how he speaks about things, but not what he is saying.

Reading trough your comments, I think your and my idea of what kind of echo-chamber this is are quite different. Or they are not. I don't know.

I agree with many positions posted on Lemmy, they aligne with my world view. Some don't. I try to be aware that this is a left space and the opinions about topics here are very different then from the right.

In my experience they are much more based on facts tough. The right seems to belive what ever the talking points are they are beeing fed and then just reproduce them. I don't see that so much here, albeit it can happen in regards to some topics.

You have voiced opinions that don't aline with the gebral opinions here. Since you don't back those up with any evidence what so ever I understand why that got you banned.

That's been the right wing talking point for a while now. It's the only thing they could come up with, because even to them the Fentanil explanation was to thin. Of course they completely ommit or ignore the quota part.

If you don't enjoy the left environment Lemmy has to offer, there are plenty of right wing echo chambers wating for you. I prefer it over the pure hate I read on those, even if I agree to a certain degree about manufactured consent. Maybe jfs just the nature of the Internet these days.

I see hate here too. And hate is nothing that I personally endorse. But I understand where it is coming from, and whom it is directed to. On the right it's just directed towards the hate group of the day©, be it communists, migrants, refugees, gays or trans folk. It's just hate to have a enemy. At least here it's hate against a class that has systematically made 99 % of people suffer for their own gains.

This one claims to be truly random, I suspect yours is rigged to be more positive.

Example:

3: And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;  4: And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and inquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:

 5: Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

 6: At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

 7: The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

Prison it is.

And they have been conditioned to think the exact same thing about you (or Democrats in general).
