Wow, it’s amazing g that you and your friends are a globally representative sample of millenials, despite all going to the same university. I wonder what would happen if different people have different life circumstances? Well, good thing we don’t need to worry about that since you and your friends are doing okay.
Sorry to say, but this is a very colonial mindset, so much so that you did not bother to look up their treaty. As it happens, Canada has a specific obligation under Treaty 6 to provide agricultural support/development, which they have failed to do and thus have offered a settlement to the Lac La Rouge Indian Band.
You should also acknowledge that centuries of oppression, genocide, and environmental exploitation are also violations of the treaty signed by the Crown, and failures to hold up the Crown’s promise to prevent pestilence and famine… you know, like scurvy.
Please educate yourself before speaking up on matters of First Nations and treaties and propagating misinformation.
Tbh your second paragraph being longer and starting with “In general I don’t agree with the Rogan hate” makes it sound very much NOT like a caveat but rather the main point of your comment.
Now this “we-found-an-enemy flag” defense you’ve brought up is just… weird. Someone disagrees with a falacious point that you tried to make, and so you accuse them of being reductionistic and making ad hominem attacks. That’s just not what happened dude. If you want to argue your point, do it, but as a matter of fact you clearly indicated that you’re okay with what little push back he does give, whereas you did not make it clear that you think him being easily misled is a bad thing.
I don’t mean for this to sound rude, but I think that you should work better on articulating the points you’re trying to make, and taking it less personally/antagonistically when someone disagrees with you.
