Yes this is definitely all of Canada doing this, not a corporation.

Do you say things like this when a company from your home country invests in a troubled region? Is it their government and peoples that you hold at fault? Or is this a problem with capitalism, and you have some motive to disparage Canada as a whole for the actions of a few rich assholes that the average Canadian would gladly have arrested for these actions?

What is your motive here, exactly?

This looks like the meth-head's shed full of stolen bicycles you find in every bad neighbourhood.

I love how most of the comments in this thread completely ignore the context of the post, and instead are "Canada bad!" posts that seem to delight in bringing up every horrible thing the country ever did.

Also don't forget the good old Shotgun / Trenchgun, which was seen as an unfair weapon in trench warfare as there was no answer to it in close range and tight corridors.

Germany literally banned the use of them, Germany.

What does that have to do with the Geneva conventions?

I used to always play Imperial in online games, because let's be real they do have the cooler aesthetic, until I ran into people that liked the Empire for different and much worse reasons.

Needless to say I pick Rebel/Republic now, my character might not look as cool but at least I won't accidentally find myself on the same team as literal Nazi fans.

I'm a fan of both, and significantly more of a Star Wars fan if I'm to be honest...

...definitely the Star Trek shirt, the Star Wars fandom can't even agree on which trilogies are good or bad (and this subject often leads to vicious arguments), and I have seen some really vile political trolls insinuate themselves into the fanbase.

Meanwhile most Star Trek arguments I've had online tend to end with someone presenting proof and everyone agreeing on it, or saying things like "I don't agree, but that's a fair point" in the rare case it can't be resolved.

"Pushback"

You lunatics need to calm the fuck down, you alienate anyone that doesn't fall into your ridiculous hivemind with personal attacks and toxic behaviour.

Literally quibbling over semantics and it immediately becomes personal and hateful.

I am done with all of you, there is no discussion only vile behaviour.

Do you literally not see how doing it incidentally is worse?

They literally burned the planet down just to make more money, it wasn't even a calculation to them, they had to do this for the sake of money.

Some evil villain insanely plotting in a mountain lair didn't destroy the planet, there wasn't a league of evil wearing flashy costumes, it was a bunch of "normal" people wearing grey suits, sitting in an office soberly making these decisions because the money required them to, their entire business operation depends on it.

The real villain is money, and my real issue is being screamed and accused at for trying to point this out.

Step down off your high horse son, you have made a lot of strange assumptions about the intent of my statement and who I am, and they are all completely off-base.

Literally just pointing out that their goal was to make money, and they didn't care about the results. Their goal was not to destroy the planet like some sort of cartoon villain, the real villain was chasing money. I am not pro-oil or trying to defend these assholes, honestly the fact that killing the planet was incidental damns them even more.

Seriously though you gotta step the fuck off with this hateful and off-base bullshit, you have totally alienated me so you could go on your "brave" rant, when I am literally on your side and not any of the things you described me as in any way.

Wake the fuck up and treat people like humans instead of spreading needless hate online.

I love how the other races don't trust Humans, because we are always in "mating season" and they lose their minds during theirs, so assume we are always loopy because of ours.
