    I once talked to someone on /r/Canada whose argument for why China’s bad was in part that they “benefited” from the pandemic while other countries did worse. And of course they got upvoted while I got downvoted to hell for providing rational arguments against theirs.

      Oh yeah, r/canada is an absolutely terrible place. Being at over a million subscribers it provides a good glimpse into what a lot of Canadians think, and a lot of it is frankly terrifying. It’s a cesspool of racism, ignorance, and sheer stupidity. It’s going to be interesting to see where things go in Canada politically as things continue to unravel economically here.
