    Thanks for elaborating your point. I’m not sure there’s any point in replying because some of what you’re saying is just bizarre to the point of surely being disingenuous. You’re upset that it’s scripted? It’s a speech from the prime minister. What do you think a speech writer does? Or do you think he’d be a better leader if he just adlibbed his address to the nation?

    You’re upset that he uploaded a video? We all know that he will reach more people with a video than with a press release because more people watch videos than are willing to read. Hence keeping more of the public informed is achieved with a video.

    You’re upset that it’s shot on two decent cameras and has production value and you’re upset that we the Canadian public are paying for it like we’re footing the bill for a Marvel movie - or even 1 second of a Marvel movie. Again, essentially nonsense. Would the prime minister look professional if they shot it all in one take on an old digital camera? Of course not. This is an important address to the nation pretty sure we can spend 1/10000th of a Doug Ford private jet on this.

    No shit it’s propaganda, as in:

    information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing people’s opinions 0

    Churchill’s wartime addresses on British radio were “propaganda” - was it bad? No. Were they false? No. Is it the same as Russian/MAGA propaganda to you?

    Regarding the AI point, that’s a whole different kettle of fish - but ignoring AI or only having access to the “facts” presented by American or Chinese tech LLMs regarding history, geopolitics or social issues is not a satisfactory scenario.

    If you don’t want Canada to invest in energy, military or even make videos addressing the nation - out of interest, what do you think Canada should do to stop the US government trying to use economic force to annex Canada?

    Answers no questions, half-quotes a statement to make a point, completely ignores getting caught using AI to write your comment then edits out the giveaway. Alright mate go ahead you’re doing a great job out here.

    What a load of sludgy shit. “from our position” - this a group statement or…? Kinda seems like you got an AI to take your position and write a comment for you - what’s that called again? Nice prompt LLM master.

    Firstly,

    Most people talking about “punching Nazis” are advocating punching people who are certainly far right but who have not themselves committed or threatened any acts of violence.

    Know that do you? Besides, hate based on someone’s religion or ethnicity is an act of violence in of itself.

    Beginning In the 1920’s and through the '30’s, years before the Nazis committed “genocide and conquest” the brown shirts and other groups walked through the streets of Germany intimidating and committing acts of violence against those they persecuted and those who disagreed with them. That’s where we are now - or at least where some want to take us - so yes, punch the shit out of Nazi scum and their sympathizers.

    Curious, would you have stopped the rise of Nazism by asking them nicely?
