    Poached this sentence from an opinion piece by Ryan Coogan on Kanye West:
     . . . we’re currently living in a cultural moment where espousing far-right rhetoric is “just another side to the conversation”.
    I think he's being kind by labelling it 'far-right rhetoric'.

    Great quote, but the important question is, "Who do you think "they" are?"
    The left has been saying this for decades and yet we hear this as mainstream right-wing rhetoric now.
    The problem is, the right does everything in it's power to preserve the status quo, while talking out of the other side of their mouths to attract the low-information vote.

    It seems to be a standard approach for some nowadays, because it works.
    Post their 'wisdom' and/or share links that are absurd drivel (NOT informed opinions or views) on the world wide web  - receive appropriate responses (i.e., WTF) from sane well-intentioned people from all walks of life with diverse backgrounds, political and social opinions and views - then respond predictably with why all the hostility, calm down, I'm just a moderate seeking the truth, why can't we just have rational discussion s less the hate, wow I'm just trying to hear all sides, what an echo chamber we have going on here. Confirmation bias, open your world up sheep.
    Mission accomplished, get a rise out of people they truly dislike.
    Isn't this called passively aggressively gaslighting?
    The 'beauty' of social media and how one way its being used.

    You don't have to be a chicken to tell an egg is rotten. And there not always two sides to a debate- there are enough violent, extremist people out there who abuse their free speech position-Putin, Trump, Bolsonaro, Orban and so forth.  These need to be called out at every turn.

    Don't forget a healthy dose of "it is your fault for being offended" and pushing to reframe the argument of others in an attempt to label them as being ridiculous for questioning you. ie - you must think everyone who disagrees with you is a fascist if you have a problem with what I have said.

    HardCoreBlue reacted to Colin Unger in World Politics   
    Never said I was a moderate.  I'm left wing. 
    Just curious if any of you think you are moderates.  Just curios if the "anyone I don't like is a facist dictator" crowd views themselves as moderates?

    You posted a link without context, were questioned about it and said that it was important to listen to views from around the world. You then proceeded to try to connect it that to the fight for "personal freedoms" in Canada. I think there are rightly criticisms for doing that.

    My main worry about Calgary is needing to beat them for a fourth time this season. That seems a tough ask, and all three games have felt too close for comfort.
