I'm not sure you're using those words correctly - but i'll take a leap of faith. Which part of the 'history' did you disagree with

The part where you claim there was widespread tolerance very little homophobia or racisM before Trudeau and the current crop of liberals came around. There has ALWAYS been racism, homophobia and strife, th only thing that’s changed is that the government now acknowledges it instead of turning a blind eye to it.

Well i don't actually do any of those things  but  i'm free to do all of them. That's what freedom is.  If not - then we need to bring in gov'ts who will respect my rights and punish those who would take them.  ANd that's what people will work towards. 

Like all freedoms you are free to do them until they infringe on others. You are free to boycott Bud Light. You are not necessarily free to disrupt other people’s lives like the hooligans who crash tranny story time. Your employer is also free to terminate your employment if it decides it doesn’t want to be associated with your conduct.
 

People still have the freedom to say racist things if they wish but as always and with all freedoms there are reasonable limits and nobody ever had the privilege of saying racist things without someone calling them a racist which is what many on the right are really after these days.

VERY long before.  And they made peace with that and gave it up 20 years ago

20 years ago is not very long.   They gave up because they lost and realized they couldn’t win on the issue so after sulking for a while there’s this revised narrative where they claim to not have been on the wrong losing side of history but they won whole in last place or something. Conservatives came around to the issue but only because “progressive” liberals changed them. Progressives normalized same sex marriage for society at large including for conservatives   Same with legal marijuana by the way, which conservatives also freaked out about. Before that it was abortion.  Conservatives also had a major 20-year freak out over Muslims who were supposedly going to kill us all but progressives kept on keeping on and conservatives eventually came back down to earth. Remember the conservatives’ anti-Muslim snitch line? That’s another example of conservatives punching people and not counting it as culture war.

First off - you're talking about conservatism from 100 -200 years ago. LONG ago the conservative movement became more about smaller gov't and people's rights - conserving their freedom. 

I don’t think there’s any truth to that at all. Look down south where most Red states STILL don’t allow same sex marriage for example and people like DeSantis micromanage schools and libraries from the state capitol and make special laws to punish critics like Disney and towns even have laws targeting baggy pants FFS. They are not just passive “whatever floats your boat” people AT ALL. The most permissive group of  Republicans “conservative” libertarians  are not conservative at all and are not the defining element of the party.

PS i literally posed cases the other day in canada so you're a liar as well as a leftie.  But no need to repeat myself i guess.

 I haven’t seen your post ls but id they’re like the cases that I’m aware of they are workplace civil cases where a tribunal has awarded damages to an employee, and not situations where private citizens are being fined for things they said in their private life m. I’m not aware of anyone ever being jailed.  Please share the link or the thread.

Setting aside the fact i never claimed that (shame on you)  the fact is that was the case indeed. Gays were protected by law, they had weddings all the time, there was very little anti gay violence, if you were gay you were far more likely to be attacked BY a gay than BECAUSE you were gay - workplaces hired gays without a blink.

I'm sure there were pockets here and there but generally nobody gave a crap if people were gay, and the issue was long since put to bed.

Nope, not in any meaningful amounts. sorry .  How many organized protests where children are jumping up and down on the pride flag were there in 2005? 2010? 2015?  There are now.

Like all freedoms you are free to do them until they infringe on others.

OH you mean like if i owned you as a slave and you wanted your freedom, it would be infringing on my rights to own slaves so you can't.

Sorry kiddo - that doesn't fly. You can't just claim 'infringement' whenever you like. If you try to steal people's rights - there is usualy a blowback

As to the rest - drivel not worth going point by point on.

Conservatives didn't lose.  They agreed. Just like the liberals had to in the end even tho they actually went to the courts to see what they could do short of gay marriage.

And it was based on the idea that 'we should let other people live their lives as they wish'.

Now - the letter people don't want that. They want to take other people's rights. They want to attack them personally and try to claim they're bad people if they have ANY concerns about taking their children to see men waive their penises at them (as i posted).

And people are getting fed up.  Ask disney. Ask bud lite.

This won't end well.

You can't own a slave without egregiously infringing on someone's rights.  What a great metaphor.  ?

LOL - well i had to go waaaaay back - as far as april. :) LOLOL

you in april in a discussion specifically about Russian collusion in the election

"The truth is, the Benghazi scandal was completely manufactured by the media. Whereas the Russia scandal was real, but the Republicans pretend Trump didn't do anything wrong because he wasn't arrested. "

And on April 9th in a different thread:

That's not authoritarian, that's just oppo research. Also, the accusations weren't false.

 

There's a few dozen more if you like.  :)

I don't normally do memes - but i think you've earned a special one today ;)

There was no Russian collusion.  Total bullshit that’s all been debunked.  I wasn’t a Trump fan but even most Democrats now acknowledge that the Russia collusion story was false.

FACT: Islamism is a conservative movement. As the title of this thread shows the Christian right and the Islamist Right believe in many of the same things. 

Conservatives also claim that the "Black Hebrews" are on the Left, even though they agree on pretty much all of the issues. 

It just shows that racism and theocracy are part of right-wing ideology.

The narrative that the investigation was about collusion was strawmanning by Republicans. What actually happened is that Russia interfered in the election. The investigation was to see if Trump's campaign was in any way involved. And we found out that they were involved in that Russia offered them help and they accepted. Republicans couldn't defend Trump's actions, so they just kept saying there was no collusion, as if that was the only possible form of corruption.

It would be like defending Bill Cosby by saying they investigated him and found that he didn't kill anyone, then chanting "no murder" over and over to act like the investigation found nothing.

It was literally in every single left wing publication and for most of them very frequently. :)   It's all the left talked about.  Of course the legal term is conspiracy but it was all 'collusion collusion collusion' on the left and how the trump presidency wasn't legitimate.  :)

The mueller report is very very very clear - they were looking for 'colllusion' (conspiracy) and they found none. That was their life for 3 years.

And further - it was found that investigation not only was flawed but involved illegal activity on the part of the FBI which lead to convictions. AND STILL - even cheating they couldn't find any.

And as noted there are STILL DEMOCRATS TO THIS DAY who insist trump was an illegitimate president and the russians got him elected. :)

And you agreed with the whole russian thing again and again and again and again,

You can't lie your way out of it now.

Well i don't know about 'most' - but i think for sure even the dedicated trump haters have to be seriously questioning it.

Although we have seen a number here defend it.  I mean - i don't really count AA , she's not a serious thing and she's more like comic relief around here but other posters have very aggressively tried to defend the position that trump worked with the Russians to win the election inappropriately.

I'm a trump "fan" in the same way i'm a blackadder 'fan' -  he may not be a very good person but he's frikkin' hilarious to watch and he does have some good ideas from time to time :)

But you could. And those who felt you should be allowed to literally presented this very argument - that emancipation would be an infringement on their rights. And they DID have those rights, at the time.

So it is actually a pretty good one :) Somebody said that the rights of others ended where they infringed upon their rights and we correctly realized that the greater harm was to not allow the slaves to go free.' (eventually). 

It's really no different here. The rights of people don't go away just because trans people feel they have 'rights' that conflict with that.  And that's the problem - they have been acting exactly like that.

And there's a backlash. New laws are being passed right now to reign in the trans agenda's abuse of children. Companies are discovering it doesn't pay to associate with trans activists. And the gays are getting caught up in that - children are being organized to go protest in the streets and stomp on pride flags.

Say what you like - but when you try to simply override other people's rights there's going to be a problem.

I showed you an article and explained that official policy is not their only means to create problems. Thought that was clear enough. What does he mean when he says "We have to stand against this." Who is we?

It doesn't seem like you read a lot and know what's going on. I'm not going to argue with your opinion.

Actually I took it back to a few posts before the NP article you mentioned, but didn't link to.  You're against government 'moralizing'... on these matters.

That makes your position clear with respect to what you said Trudeau did.

Government painting themselves as moral, or more broadly as righteous and wise, is just something that they do.  I agree that it's annoying but when a politician opens their mouth I know that I am going to hear that type of material.

On the topic of LGBTQ, I agree that he overdoes it.  While I know lots of righteous and wise people, I wouldn't vote for them to run the country.

That said, I want all politicians to stop this topic of discussion.  The only policy change I can see coming out of it is minor changes to education policy at the price of growing disunity and even violence.

Poilievre, with outspoken gays in his inner circle, isn't likely to indulge this fad even though he voted AGAINST gay marriage.  It's further evidence of his strategic discipline IMO.

No Mike, it's not a condescending though reluctant acceptance. In a real democracy this is NOT that democratic governments are elected to do, NOT in their job description, actually, NONE of their business and NOT AT ALL counts as an excuse for failing to deliver results in their direct responsibilities. Just as simple, none of that. Totally (almost there) opposite.

I don’t agree with your revisionist assessment at all.  You are free to dislike pride parades and tranny story time but when you start staging protests and boycotts because you won’t allow others to participate in those things you cross the line

So wait... it's okay to hold protests in favour of these things but it's not okay to hold protests or boycotts against those things. Have I got that right?

That’s exactly what pro-segregationists whined about during the civil rights era. “How come the negroes are good guys if they protest for equal rights but I’m a bad guy if protest AGAINST them having equal rights?”

 

See the difference?  It’s not ok to advocate for persecution and discrimination and depriving others of their freedoms. That’s not what “freedom” is about.

"I Know you are but what am I" - LOL well it's not like we expect intelligent responses from you  :)

You actually did say jews are nazis in several contexts across many many threads AND stated that the isreal gov't was nazi.   You didnt' just do these once as a slip of the tounge. I had to actually point out that you were spreading hatred under canadian law to get you to stop  You'd also bring up jews as the 'source of problems" and make other anti semetic remarks.

I have never once claimed i'm a nazi under my own or any other definition :)  ANd the definition i gave of nazi is the dictionary one.  :) 

And let face it - to you everyone right of Castro is a nazi ;)

Well I don't think Peterson is a nazi either. I just think his brain is soup so he doesn't realize he's constantly promoting nazism.

But you defended actual nazis being accepted by the Right, I'm guessing because you know that the Right needs their votes to stay in power.

By that logic, anything can be a "right"? Or only the special topics appointed by the Wisest Ever Central Committee of Social Engineering? Do I have a right to identify as a CEO, and sure do come out to affirm my rights to identity, but don't even,ever think of questioning it!

Sound like a plan?

Nice strawman. Nobody is advocating for persecution or discrimination beyond those justified by the obvious physical differences between males and females. What people are saying is that children should not be bothered by the fanatic gender adjusting mob of social activists and should be left alone at least until they know what sex and sexuality are. 

Protesting against lunatic progressive teachers pushing their completely unscientific gender fluidity bullshit onto bewildered kids is not akin to protesting against 'freedom' for negroes.
