Thank you to Eva Kurilova for finding this resolution. There is hope that we can have a return to sanity here in Alberta.
Sorry for the incovenience of having to go to youtube to watch the happenings at the Oxford Union. It was quite a raucous affair.
Compare and contrast with the lecture at Cambridge where students as opposed to radicals came out and a productive mostly civil debate and conversation resulted.
The activist Left wants more of Oxford and less of Cambridge. I implore everyone watching to be more like Cambridge and respect others and their opinions while debating the merits of the arguments at hand.
This just nails what the post modern Left has become. Deplatforming and deliberately not dealing with facts.
Two views on the current state of the West. Both share a fairly grim tone. We need to as nations of the West turn things around. The classical liberal* principles that our societies were founded on need to be restored and refreshed in their primacy of how we exist as people in society.
There are competing narratives of how we are supposed to advance society, I think if we stray from the path we’re on we going to be in trouble.
*Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism which advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech
I spent a fair amount of time poking fun at the US right-wing here on DWR. But as of late is that very same right wing that is standing up and fighting for the rights, boundaries, and safety of women. The noisy befuddled activist Left has taken over the discourse on the Left and as result it has turned into utter identitarian hogwash.
The Left I knew was about promoting the interests of the working class and helping people get to a place economically and socially where they could contribute to society and have a reasonable life within the bounds of our Western values. Now? It is intersectionality 24/7 in a competition to see is the most oppressed and who is best at fracturing society into warring factions bent on dismantling the very system that lets them spout their egregious bullshite.
So, you have to look to whomever has the most reasonable and fact based ideas – it is how we actually progress as a nation.
