Canadian Politics Today

I agree with much of what you're saying and I'm at the point where I don't really care who gets the most seats between the Liberals and Conservatives (I used to see the Liberals as slightly better), but I don't think I could bring myself to actually ever vote conservative. 

Maybe I'll vote Communist just to prove MH's theory.

I think there are a lot more Marxist sympathizers than actual communists who have a real vision of a workable economic system and vote for those crappy communist fringe parties.

I think rather than some crisis of people turning to Marxism you have a rising ideology of soft do-gooders who largely just feel bad for people and see everyone as a victim or oppressor rather than demanding responsibility from anyone.  You see it in California with the homeless laws, people not being stopped when stealing from stores.  You see it in Portland and whatnot where politicians are afraid to use the police to enforce laws on rioters.  Woke is a radical victim ideology that sees most any hierarchies as evil and are out to destroy these hierarchies to give power to oppressed groups.  There's nothing wrong with helping oppressed people, but it has extended to a total worldview encompassing everything and where all our media and culture is a battlefield where people have to push some woke activist agenda.

The pacific west coast of North America, meaning California, Oregon, Washington State, and British Columbia are the most leftwing areas in North America and we're seeing the results of this ideology there, and elsewhere.  We're seeing what Hollywood is doing to our media pushing agendas.

What kind of parents are in these areas, do they discipline their children at all, or just feel bad for them all the time and let them get away with murder and turn them into entitled whiny schmucks who have never heard the word "no".  When these kids don't bother doing their homework do their teachers just give them extensions instead of holding them accountable? How do these people raise pets?  Do they let their dogs control them or do they have control of their pets?  People are becoming afraid to enforce boundaries and hold people accountable, for fear of "hurting their feelings".   These are soft people.  Grow some balls.

These are my own observations.  Saying they're FOX talking points isn't an argument nor shows they're incorrect in any way.  I don't really see how any of what I said is controversial, it seems pretty basic.  Even if some person on FOX says exactly what I said that isn't an indication they are incorrect.

1. Any rational and sensible human being should be offended by police abusing black people and aboriginal kids being abused by the catholic church,  as well as businesses and churches being burnt down and people robbing stores without being stopped.

2. People who think it's OK or not to get away with crimes based on the level victimhood of the group you belong to are crazy people.   It's guilt-based irrationality.

The left should recognize that woke corporate campaigns are a sign that symbolism, though fractious, means nothing to those who want to protect the status quo.

Although, rarely, you will find that they do care.  Yale changed the name of a college because the namesake Calhoun defended slavery. But Yale itself is named after a slave holder.  So where is the principle on this?
