Not my info but this year a classmate confided in me the following:

"it took an embarrassingly long time to realize that men have multiple holes on their penis".

I thought she was joking but she was dead serious, (she was from a very conservative family to put it mildly and had been withheld from sex-ed their entire life). For some reason they insisted arguing about it with me and the other guy present.

I was 22 and she was 21.

The Muslim club lol, the rumours about the communist club is sex-pest related, I should clarify I am no longer a student and all of these things are things I have basically heard through the grapevine or social media.

I don’t know exactly, but from what I heard about that club when I was a student probably lol. The official explanation I heard is that it’s “silencing Palestinian voices” or something.

Edit: I should clarify the rumours that I heard about this club, which again I have not in any way confirmed in an official matter, is that members have ratted out women to their families for not wearing Hijab.

There is a Palestinian solidarity March being held at my old university ran by its communist club. The Muslim Students Association at this same university is urging everybody not to go.

What a mess.

Edit: I just realized I posted this in the news thread rather than the general thread, oops.

It really is the same as shit like 'authoritarian' or 'totalitarian', a completely arbitrary designation that completely renders people of critical thought

1930s reddit be like " They were expelled from over 100 countries1!!"

Stealing a post from the trueanon subreddit: “Gaza is both morally and conceptually the same as the Warsaw Ghetto”

MAGA 'Communists" in shambles

Last time I was at the grocery store they only had the 2x spicy ones, guess this confirms I was right to pass on them that time.

I think that is a good explanation. Especially since Canada, more so than maybe anywhere else, seems to have like no national identity so It can be easy to hold on to other aspects.

I guess as a personal example I am like only a quarter Ukrainian by blood but it was by far the culture that was emphasized to me growing up, and in my case some of my settler ancestors are from well before Canada became a thing (my grandmother is trying to investigate whether her ancestry here dates back to the very first boat of Europeans on the continent). So if anyone should have a 'Canadian' identity it should be me but there is nothing there at all lol.

I'm aware of that (and that definitely fuels the majority of the politics of this diaspora) there is a large number that came over pre-USSR times as it was essentially advertised to them to come over and 'settle the west'.

Edit: What I think I mean to say is that a lot of 'Ukrainian Identity' in Canada comes from being descendants of those that arrived in the 'first-wave' section from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Canadians. Which is kind of interesting because for lots of these people their last connection to the actual land of Ukraine was from over a century ago now.

Not to dox myself but in my area of Canada seeing Ukrainian flags already was on par with Canadian ones before the war and since its started they probably outnumber them 4 to 1.

Not that I care about the lack of Canadian flags but it is pretty weird when you think about it. Like it's not like I expect a diaspora to not display any national symbols but this particular diaspora from my experience is largely like 3+ generations in Canada, so youd think lots of the connection is lost.
