Lol you yanks have an actual fascist movement underway passing laws against books and education and free expression and here you are repeating their talking points concern-trolling like free speech is under attack in Canada. Get your own house in order.

There’s no rule that says you can’t be critical of another country’s policies just because your own country also has problems. After all, there are 330 million people living in the US and you can’t hold the parent responsible for all of them.

Did I, with any authority, say GP can't repeat Republican FUD? Or did I merely have a critical response?

Republicans love to point to other countries as boogeymen, "they're coming for your freeeeedoms" all the while: through fear and scapegoat and boogeymen and "religious conviction" they fight tooth and claw to take freedoms away.

You also seem to be assuming the parent is a Republican, and holds a certain set of beliefs and political opinions beyond what they have stated above.

I assume nothing of the sort. Their profile identifies them as a resident of the US, so I called 'em a Yankee. That they're spreading Republican FUD doesn't make them Republican. Anybody can repeat Fox "News" talking points. Hell, I'm sure I have at some time or another. Doesn't mean they necessarily agree with every single thing that comes out of Fibbin' Tucker's lying mouth.

Why do you assume they were influenced by Republican FUD for warning about the dangers of Incrementalism? I have heard many such “slippery-slope” arguments from people of all political persuasions (even though it is considered a logical fallacy).

Saying they are “repeating talking points” also implies they have not thought deeply on the issue and considered multiple points of view before arriving at this conclusion - or simply arrived at this position from their own judgment - which of course we have no way of knowing based on what they said.

Yup, I stand opposed to the slope mob. Quote me on that.
