      So you're saying that police will stop protecting folks who don't (rightly) trust them unquestioningly, and if that happens and if crime rates go up because of it (which might not be cause/effect) it's the failure of BLM, not well paid public servants refusing to do their job?

      Wait - are you complaining that BLM is leaderless/decentralized AND holding Toronto's BLM responsible rallying cries from different cities in a different country? So which is it?

      Wait wait wait - again - are you arguing FOR smaller, localized groups, or larger, centralized groups under strong leadership? I'm getting dizzy

      Shouldn't two kids born in the same city have the same opportunity? Wanting pure equality of outcome should be everyone's concern. Also, Quora has bias and isn't a valid source to cite.

      Wrong. Redistribution is good. More equal societies (say the north european social democracies) are far healthier, more peaceful, & happier than unequal societies.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @slaidman92 and

          The other thing is you live in Saint John. There is no more glaring example of a city with wealth distribution problems. Irving doesn't pay taxes, the poor suffer. More than 1/3rd of children in Saint John live in poverty. It is a direct result of Irving Corp greed.

          They big reason why they seem to work from the outside is that they tax the rich at an effective level and don't let them hide their money. Now, I have no doubt that they have their issues in those countries. Likely has to do with the monoculture...
