"... biggest exporter of terror." Oh, look at that, a Canadian PM constructing self defense as aggression, how novel. I wonder what happens if we look at why Iran funds terrorist groups outside of its borders and who those terrorist groups fight.

    It's not even worth looking that far, the US is the biggest exporter of terror.

    What exactly did you think my comment referred to if not the US?

    My comment was just that the comment from the PM was so big of a lie that it's not even worth addressing.

    The PM just needs to make a public apology and correct himself.

    Maybe you should take a lesson.

    Putting on the moderator hat:

    Hey @orioler25@lemmy.ca I just got a report about this comment as uncivil behaviour (the reporter was not one of the people in the to thread). I know this is an 3 month old thread, but still, I want to give you a little heads up that you were being a bit unnecessarily aggressive and combative here. Please try to do better in the future.

    Yeah, right wing chuds on Canadian communities have been pissed at me; probably going through posts and reporting.

    This person was supportive of capitalism and did not openly admit to a thread that they promoted harmful values once they realized their mistake. This comment was a reference to thst, can't see what their other comment was since it was months ago, but I reckon my language was warranted.

    Looking solely in the interaction above, it looks like you read a bit too much into an otherwise benign situation where everyone seemed to be agreeing more or less, and wrote in a bit of a snappy tone. Let's give all of us the benefit of the doubt and let's raise a bit the threshold for snapping. That's all, let's not continue this.
