LIV = Low Information Voters
Michael Hardner replied to August1991's topic in Local Politics in Canada
Me too. In my family for example. My grandfather worked with his hands and read books at night. No snobbery, just a distaste for ignorance. -
How does this explanation do? "The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic principle of Nature and replaces the eternal privilege of power and strength by the mass of numbers and their dead weight. Thus it denies the value of personality in man, contests the significance of nationality and race, and thereby withdraws from humanity the premise of its existence and its culture. As a foundation of the universe, this doctrine would bring about the end of any order intellectually conceivable to man. And as, in this greatest of all recognizable organisms, the result of an application of such a law could only be chaos, on earth it could only be destruction for the inhabitants of this planet"

Agreed. You need to be very intelligent and open minded to embrace wisdom and intelligence that comes from other sources than yours. This is why I have disdain for people who ignore arguments from intelligent folks who disagree with them. That's not to say chatting with trolls is useful. -

Education is a good thing. -
You used to be a fisherman, and now you play one in live theatre. And you're from Toronto. I have been saying that I am conservative because I believe in the public institutions that brought us here. The fake conservative crackpots don't like it, but who cares. Every time I unblock a thread, they're all replying to me. 😂 It's like fan mail ...

South Korea imposes Martial Law

Maybe he'll do it, who knows ? Gotta stomp out that "woke"... erase the deep state etc... -
Yes, people seem to be very selective about what they protest - I agree with that. You can say that without even taking into account the facts of what happened. How about the post above mine - seriously asks what the Jews did to "Deserve" this ? Presumably not worshiping Christ. Did we have a single post on here suggesting the civilians at the WTC "deserved" the attacks of Sept 11th ? I do not think so... Instead the same suspects accused "zionists" of being part of yet another conspiracy. Antisemitism is pervasive...

Let's have a little moment for the Jews here... The single most abused ethnic group in Canada since forever... Nobody I know will speak out on either side of the current Israeli-Palestinian clash... But the ONLY people I see talking about it, very bravely, online are my liberal Jewish friends. Whether or not you agree with their stance, it says something about the bravery and outspokenness and social consciousness of Jewish people. They have to socialize, pray, and celebrate with members of their own group who are violently opposed to their views and they still do it. I expressed my reluctance to speak out on this conflict in public, albeit with my usual reserved tones, and a centrist Jewish friend of mine, Jazz musician, said ... "Don't worry about it. The liberal Jews we know are going to post about it online." I felt like a bit of a coward, but I still didn't post about it. Thank G_d for them.

1. Huh ? He's the premier of what province ? I'll bet if the Liberals were in power you'd be insisting they do something. 2. Speaking of gas on a fire... if he had just said "We're a small town with no flagpole sorry" he would have spared the tempest in a teacup. Instead he wished there was a "straight day" and the zealots went after him. 3. Agreed.
