the corona quid posted:The wishing death on prominent right wing figures really destroyed the whole advantage the left had and just devolved it into a “us versus them” slap fight. "the left" is not actually a group of people, it's a political framework used by a group of people. The things that people do in service of that framework are separate from the framework itself and can neither legitimise or delegitimise it. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you. Anyone who believes them needs to work on their critical thinking.

Squashing Machine posted:The platonic ideal versions of "the left" and "the right" are stored in the same hermetically-sealed glass case that holds the prototype kilogram, and so the actions and stated values of the members that constitute either group cannot, therefore, reflect on the correctness or value of these idealized forms, as thoughts cannot penetrate the perfect vacuum environment that keeps them in their pristine state The prototype kilogram needs to be sealed because it is an authoritative source for a universally acknowledged truth. "The left" or "The right" represent sets of values. They are both abstract concepts, which are not the same thing as a discrete person or even a group of individuals. It is a very basic distinction!

I can eat buckets of shrimp and crab and any mollusk you can name but a few hours after consuming delicious lobster, I start to ralph and hurl. but is it run of the mill nausea or an implacable sense of impending doom? you don't need to answer, I can already tell you're no true philosopher

Another Bill posted:One thing I knew when I was young and then kind of of got decorumed out of me for a little while but I accept again, is that when someone is making excuses for bigotry there's really no point in engaging them in honest discussion. The telling part of Jorps cult of personality is how supporters ground the conversation by hand-waving about personal responsibility before launching into their multi-paragraph defences of race science/transphobia.

It's not my pure hatred of Jorp that ensures my room will never be cleaned, it's the years spent meticulously cultivating a fragile ecosystem to create the perfect balance of heat, moisture, and pH for optimal posting within my room. This is something I refuse to disturb and if the dragon of chaos swallows me up then so be it.

ROFLburger posted:either way this entire thread is a weird cult of hate for this guy can you go into a little bit more detail on this? is there an appropriate way to discuss a public persona that is making a lot of money reinforcing ideas that scapegoat many different minority groups under the veneer of self-help? what cult-like behaviour do you see in this thread?

Palpek posted:Regarding the latest interview with him I feel like it's incredibly irresponsible and dangerous for jorp to say poo poo like "I suspect, if you did the statistics properly, that medicine, independent of public health, kills more people than it saves". It's not even about "the left are the real fascists" garbage, he's doing a disservice to his own fans. I know that again and again he actually "doesn't mean anything by that" and "it just makes you think" but his audience is mainly comprised of men with some sort of mental health issues and maybe other medical issues as well and something like that may encourage them to refuse to treat their conditions. The guy gets addicted to benzos of his own accord and he's a clinician who should have known better but nah, now all medicine everywhere is bad, he's so hosed in the head. He absolutely does mean what he's getting at there though. That clip is him trying to make reality fit his worldview and he clearly knows intuitively that what he's saying is bullshit but he's got such contempt for his interviewer, his audience, and himself that he can acknowledge his argument is full of poo poo but it doesn't matter because they all want to believe it. He was just smart enough to lie for a grift before, but he's all in on his own bullshit now.

Albera is chudtown but the new curriculum is good actually and Kenney is spinning it as a return to the old ways or something when it's not that at all.

Criticisms about teaching kids history too early might be valid, but they do actually go into progressive topics that weren't covered before. The Kenney grandfather is funny and dumb but other than that most of the criticisms seem narrow. You get quotes like this:quote:Yvonne Poitras Pratt, a University of Calgary associate professor who specializes in Indigenous education, said the curriculum is a perfunctory nod to broader First Nations culture while focusing on its role in the European migration. and this: quote:Former Grand Chief Wilton Littlechild, a former member on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, says he’s delighted that Alberta was the first province to publicly declare that it was launching its own initiative to develop mandatory curriculum on treaties and residential schools for all students in an age-appropriate way. talking about the exact same thing and that reads like someone doesn't like the way an important thing is being taught and missing that it is being taught now and that's a pretty important step forward.

The only Canadian I've ever heard say "bloody" in the flesh was a prof I had that grew up in Scotland. It's just the standard British affectations = smart belief that rubes know and love.

When the government builds a building in Canada the construction documents are in millimetres and then the tradespeople convert that into inches when they start building.
