Can we have a forum that harbors free thinking, civil, Canadian patriots, and focuses on IMPORTANT THINGS, like culture, family, social issues, etc, rather than just trash talking people because of their party affiliation? For the past few days, all I've been reading about on this forum is someone complaining about someone else, and I wish there were more posts that are relevant to the current events going on in our country and in the world.
The latter is the reason I came to this forum (because of the msm's censorship), and it was ok at first, but now, it's all just petty bickering. If I could make a similar forum,(but without all the TRASHTALKING), I would, but I don't currently have the ability to do so.
People. Put aside your differences of skin color and realize that there is only one race - THE HUMAN RACE, and we are currently locked in a battle between freedom and slavery, Good vs Evil, unity vs division.
Can we all just TRY to be more civil, forgiving and loving, as God wants us to be? Remember, you can PEACEFULLY AGREE TO DISAGREE. (Edit: meh. what's the point in saying this? No matter where you go on the internet, there'll always be people who can't keep their cool)
I realize that this is just an online thing, that everyone's opinions and beliefs vary, and people will never agree 100%, but we should be able to RESPECTFULLY and APPROPRIATELY discuss and debate on a CIVIL platform.
OmegaCanada is not the forum it used to be a few months ago. I believe we need a different forum, one that focuses on sharing different sides of the story, one that allows for peaceful debate and civil discussion. No more trash talking (specifically just because you don't like the person). Yes, point out if someone is blatantly disrespectful, or making derogatory comments about a certain culture or group of people, but do so respectfully, and don't let it become the entire purpose of your being.
Edit : Perhaps the way I worded this isn't great, and it can be interpreted in multiple ways. But when I say be civil/respectful, I'm not saying that you can't disagree with me. As I said before, you can PEACEFULLY AGREE TO DISAGREE. But straight up complaining and trash talking people about people like Ham, not so great. I don't necessarily agree with Ham 100%, but I respect his right to express his opinion, and I don't name call him because he dislikes the PPC.
^That's what I'm trying to say. I've noticed alot of people trashing Ham. But this is a reminder that if you trash talk about people like Ham JUST BECAUSE you don't like him, then you are no better than those who want to censor you.
My bad. I get a bit off topic, so I apologize for going all over the place. Also, for the record, I'm not too good with words, so, while I tried to express my thoughts as clearly as I could, I understand that some of you might not take it the way it was intended to be interpreted.
*Those are just my thoughts. I'm a nobody. I'm just a person trying to get informed, but finds it hard to do so on a platform full of people who can't be civil
Omega and Meta Canada had this going on. You may have missed it as the length of time these squabbles have been lasting has increased... drastically over the past year.
The way I see it, the identitarians want us to focus on identity (i.e. race, sexuality etc) in order to segregate our society into us vs them.
We are currently in a war of left vs right. The left want us to make it racial, sexual etc... i.e. identity.
There are plenty of non-white, non-straight conservatives out there. By making this a racial issue we are alienating a good portion of the conservative supporters that we need in order to win.
As soon as we start playing the racial/sexual/identity angle then we are playing their game where the rules are all set up against us.
Instead we should be decrying the focus on identity and instead focus on non-identitarian issues and argue the point and not the man.
I think this is what u/Ham_Sandwich77 is trying to achieve and explain to people.
We should not give a shit about the race or other characteristics of people. Instead we should be focusing on their beliefs and ideas.
There are plenty of white people who don't support conservatism. There are plenty of non-white people who do support conservatism.
It's ideas that matter, not the identity of the person who expresses those ideas.
If you want to focus on identity then you are no different from the leftist identitarians.
We will never win by playing the identity game. We win with better ideas.
Edit: A few words.
I'm a woman and I feel alienated too. They shit talk women a lot here as well.
Good stuff. Looking forward to it
