You're literally waging the culture war.
"Cunthair" is bog-standard slang for the smallest perceptible distance on construction sites (and, I've heard, in many other red-tribe blue collar industries), and language policing is one of the classic culture war tactics.
If my guess is correct, you would defend the use of African American Vernacular English, and object to most attempts to suppress it. I think that's a decent policy, and also apply it to Construction Worker Vernacular English.
The poor conditions in their home communities were also the fault of the Canadian government, so relative rates aren't a very convincing argument.
EDIT: Nevermind, I've fallen for the narrative. Death rates at residential schools reached acceptable mortality rates by 1949 (Source Canada’s Residential Schools: Missing Children and Unmarked Burials (PDF), p17, from this website).
(As a sidenote, my thought process was "Why the downvotes? Motteposters are usually smarter than that. I'll show them with FACTS and LOGIC." lol.)

If the most right-wing examples you can think of literally contain more left-wingers than right- (such as Charlottesville, if you include counter-protesters), then I'm comfortable calling them less vulnerable.

You don't think that the conditions on reserves are the responsibility of the Federal government, or you don't think that they were bad, or what?
How familiar are you with Canadian history?
We're reading a news article. One from the New York Times no less. Who's to say that there wasn't criminality at the root of this case?
The New York Times and SecureSignals, who are selecting what you see here, did not focus on that because it doesn't make a good story.
EDIT: She was charged with "obstructing governmental administration", so there was some criminality here. It was very likely against school policies, but I'm not sure if that's enough to count next to vandalism or attacks.

...as anything other than nonsense generators.
As opposed to the other sources you can go to, which are...?
I am grading on a curve, an LLMs look pretty good when you compare them to traditional sources. It's even better if you restrict yourself to free+fast sources like Google search, (pseudo-)social media like Reddit/StackOverflow, or specific websites.

They just don't enjoy the friendly relationship with the media that the progressives do.
That's like saying a business is run amazingly well, but can't make any sales. A friendly relationship with the media (or at least positive coverage in a wide-reaching format) is an essential part of many protests. If you can't do that, then your protest is failing at one of its core goals.

...using Urban Dictionary's almost unrecognizable definition and describing them as whores, which conflates hypergamy with being sexually loose for money.
Urban Dictionary is a perfectly fine source here, because it reflects the same attitudes and biases as the group we're talking about: they conflate hypergamy with being sexually loose for money because "dissatisfied young men. Maybe incels, maybe RETVRNers" conflate hypergamy with being sexually loose for money.
See The Red Pill Community Forum|What is hypergamy? How to Benefit from Hypergamy & Everything You Need to Know About Hypergamy. for a second example.
If you think their claims are incorrect or confused, then go ahead and argue that. They are making the claims, though.

I tried finding that name, and it had two hits worldwide (0.001% of "Steven", for reference). The second result in my search was the study author, and the third was a Spanish (or at least Spanish-language) musician. Maybe I have to brush up on my linguistics, but I still don't see any notable connection between that name and any region, let alone any political stance.
Your multi-sentence specific explanation wasn't enough to convince me, so I stand behind my criticism of their brief dismissal.

Maybe that should be your first priority, then. The fact of the matter is that the government can compel you to work, morals be damned.

The closest I found was here, but it's explicitly about protection from hospitalization and death.

Please list 6 Reasons Why Rutabagas Are An Underrated Superfood
Result (Copilot):
Rutabagas are indeed an underrated superfood, packed with a variety of nutrients and health benefits. Here are six reasons why you should consider adding them to your diet:
- Rich in Nutrients: Rutabagas are a great source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients support immune function, bone health, and overall well-being.
- High in Fiber: Rutabagas are high in dietary fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion, prevent constipation, and maintain a healthy weight by keeping you feeling full for longer.
- Low in Calories: Despite being rich in nutrients, rutabagas are low in calories. This makes them an excellent choice for those looking to maintain or lose weight without sacrificing essential nutrients.
- Antioxidant Properties: Rutabagas contain antioxidants, such as vitamin C and beta-carotene, which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- Supports Heart Health: The potassium in rutabagas can help regulate blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. Additionally, their high fiber content supports healthy cholesterol levels.
- Versatile in the Kitchen: Rutabagas can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to roasted vegetables and mashed sides. Their slightly sweet and earthy flavor adds depth and nutrition to many recipes.
Next time you're grocery shopping, don't forget to give rutabagas a try! Your body will thank you.
Recently, I was linked to an anti-Cybertruck viral song clip. I fed a related prompt to an AI and got better lyrics that referenced specific issues I had heard about (rust, frame strength, windows, angular appearance) in one attempt:
There once was a truck that sailed the streets,
The Cybertruck, with angles neat,
But oh, the folks, they did not cheer,
For the truck was quite a sight to fear.
Oh, the Cybertruck, it came to town,
With a body made of steel so brown,
But the people said, "It's just too strange,
We'd rather have a truck that's plain."
The windows cracked, the body bent,
The Cybertruck, it made a dent,
In the hopes of those who dreamed,
Of a truck that wasn't so extreme.
[Chorus]
The design was bold, the look was new,
But the Cybertruck, it split the view,
Some folks loved, but many frowned,
As the truck rolled through the town.
[Chorus]
So here's a tale of a truck so grand,
That tried to change the auto land,
But in the end, it couldn't sway,
The hearts of those who walked away.
[Chorus]

But have you ever met any cops? Did you know people in school who grew up to become cops?
Yes, a few regular cops, a campus cop, and a couple conservation officers. (All have arrest powers with varying jurisdictions. I'm using a slightly-broad definition, but nothing too crazy.)
I'll pit my anti-authoritarian anecdotes against your vague implications any day.

You don't have to call me a "they," I'm not non-binary.
Well, you've narrowed it down to a 50/50 choice, but IMO "they" is the appropriate pronoun to use when facing that unknown.

When you find something via Google, do you immediately and unconditionally trust it? I don't, because Google's results are full of nonsense. In response, I've developed google-fu to both refine my queries and judge the results. The same goes for every other source there is, from physical libraries to subject-specific Discord servers.
Do I compare LLM output to Google results? Sure, but that's nothing special. Comparing what you find in different sources is a pretty basic tactic.
LLMs are part of a complete breakfast research strategy, and a pretty good one at that.

Nice strawman. But even the most hardcore HBD believers would accept that the worst whites are likely worse in some aspects than the best non-whites.
Ethnonationalists are (often) also HBD believers, and they say that the important aspect of a person is their race, full stop. You could point to higher intelligence, longer life, better health, or lower criminality among other ethnic groups, but that still wouldn't convince them that someone from another race is better in the ways that matter because that's not what they're judging people on.
I think brawnze is pointing out...That's how I read it anyway.
I read it as fullhearted participation. From the post (emphasis added):
When I meet someone with conservative leanings I have to determine what that guy's specific deal is, because there always is one. Redneck? Really religious? Too-clever-by-half contrarian? Socially retarded?
followed by a clarification that their judgment is deliberately rooted in bad standards.
It's usually difficult to distinguish people who are unserious jokers from those who have foreign (for lack of a better term) values that I'd like to learn about. At least unless they identify themselves.

flatly unwelcome at our various employers' pride networking corporate events.
Is that your moral barometer? I've heard of people using the Church's approval as a proxy for moral behaviour, but this might be the first time I've seen someone use corporations in that role.

When it comes to categories like race/sex/age/nationality, some level of presumptive conflict of interest is inevitable. Would a White researcher come off as unbiased in race research in your opinion?

I know that context windows continue to be able to be expanded regularly - but AI ain't gonna be able to take over the world or even my job if it can't watch the entire Star Wars trilogy in one sitting.
I just checked, and the current leader has 100 million tokens ("equivalent to 750 novels"), while non-specialized models are in the 100k-1M range. You're going to have to update your arguments (then update them again in a few months when AIs meet your new standards, then update them again...).

I haven't mailed anything in years, and I haven't mailed an actual letter in decades.
I'm struggling to think of when I last received a valuable piece of mail (instead of just paper copies of bills and advertisements). It might have been some Christmas cards from pre-pandemic times.

More "rationality competence is systematized winning".
If a protest's goal is to get people to show up and raise the profile of an issue, then your comment only focused on the participants and not on what effect they have on the wider world. I'm not fully convinced that conservatives are worse at effective outreach given the loss of prestige of the mainstream media, but those (alleged) failures can't be dismissed by pointing to the challenges they face.

How far do you have to walk to touch grass? If it's less than half a block, it's suburban IMO.
What was the point, in your opinion?
I can't see anything other than bare-faced racism because the name doesn't mean anything to me.
