Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Conversational Gambits that are Annoying – Disagreement vs. Hate
Controversial topics are hard to talk about. What makes the process even more difficult is when one side, for whatever reason, decides that disagreeing with their position is equivalent to you *hating* their position. The disagreement=hate confab is almost an exclusive feature of attempting to dialogue with someone on the

We KNOW that Covid makes kids sick, which affects attendance, and we KNOW cleaning the air will help (since so many have been convince not to wear masks to class), but we’ll still only implement solutions for the wealthiest 1%. Back in June 2020, the New York Times reported how Covid short-circuits

Governments around the world have discussed solutions to climate change, but not enough are seriously acting to reduce this threat. From environmentalist Stephen Barlow: I’d far rather not have to spell out uncomfortable truths, and I have no agenda, other than to stop humanity committing global suicide by ignoring the seriousness

Criticism of Joe Biden is presently conflated with support of Donald Trump. This criticism is not in support of Trump’s failed pandemic response.

Back in the day, the left was all about protesting for rights for marginalized people, and the right fought for a more individualistic, pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps ideology. Another thread from Kelly, this time on something I’ve also noticed in my life: this individualistic right-wing ideology in left-leaning friends: Had a discussion with

This is what transgender ideology looks on the inside. The vulnerable narcissism, the victim/persecution complex, and the complete inability to function in normal society. This is what happens when your beliefs cut you off from your family and friends. All you have left is your “glitter-family” whose support is conditional

Did the SK Roughriders hire the REAL geniuses who thought the Experience Regina rebrand was smart? They had a meltdown when some meat-heads (pun intended) got upset by A&W sponsoring the team while promoting veggie burgers.The organization doesn't care about player or fan safety, covering up disease outbreaks, and playing

In the past, whenever I read news about any conservative leader, party or government — small-c conservative, including the Canadian federal and provincial Conservative parties, the American Repugnicans, and the British Tories — I always have to ask myself, “Can they get any more corrupt than this?” Then I ask,
