I would argue that the core values and culture of Christianity hasn't evolved at all which is why so many modern people have dropped Christianity in favour of their leftist values. The major difference between Islam and Christianity is that Islam defends itself because as Peterson points out, they combine government and religion while Christianity does not interfere in the state because they're taught to respect leaders because that is the will of God even if it doesn't seem to comply with core Christian values and culture.
I think you're seeing things with a bit of a bias. The modern woman and homosexual doesn't adhere to Christian values nor are the Christians that try to incorporate this modernity into their practice actually Christian. The bible lays those things out quite clearly and for good reason because the Christian sense of morality and how they treat women and homosexuals is superior than our current society; however, Christians believe that God is in control and despite the inversion of Christian morality in society, good will prevail in the end, one only has to have faith in God.
The mayor employed a very strong online campaign and got the younger generation out to vote. That's why I say Calgary is on its way out. There's a solid group of older people with good values but too many young people have moved/immigrated to Calgary for better jobs and these people hold leftist values. This is especially true among the more educated or non-white groups.There remains pockets of people with their head on straight but they are few and far between. Usually they're the people who were raised in a small town in Alberta and then moved to Calgary, not the born and raised Calgarians.
Ahh, another fellow anarcho-capitalist. Indeed that would be a better state but it's too radical for Canadians at the moment. We first need to deprogram the damage that our education systems have caused and lack of family values has caused. Once we reassert capitalism, competition, individuality and morality back into our education system while promoting femininity in women and masculinity in men, you'll gradually see that it'll become much easier to reduce the authority of the state because people won't need a state when they have their own strength to rely on. The demoralization of our people through the education system and degeneracy from a lack of moral values being promoted by families is what causes people to continue to rely on the government.
Not surprised. I work in the finance industry and all that us finance bros talk about is how to exploit dumbasses over leftist ideologies such as environmentalism. You don't need good ideas anymore, you just need leftist ideas and the money will pour in. This is like the quintessential fraud we've all discussed but aren't actually as evil as these guys to execute.
This is also why most of us are against public funds going to leftist ideologies because we know most of it is bullshit.
I mean haha that is funny but your comment distracts away from the truth which is brainwashing. Our public education system and the public unions that support it is one of the biggest threats to our country. We need to remove all public money from education entirely and encourage home schooling or private schools.
There are plenty of non-white people that share in the values of western civilization. All you have to do is promote western values and stop making everything about race. You can't stop being accusing you of being racist but you can stop caring about their accusations of racism.
Of all the greatest pieces of propaganda pushed onto us for decades, WWII, Hitler, Nazis and anti-racism as illustrated by the holocaust and black slaves was probably the biggest. Even the biggest conservatives are still programmed to have a bad reflex to anything that could be construed as racist, especially when it's down from the perspective of white people standing up for their own race.
Conservatives can spend all day bashing Islam, Muslims, Brown people, etc... but the second white people start talking about banding together and doing what is in white people's interests to promote white culture, all of a sudden people start thinking Hitler, Nazis and Genocide = bad.
The reality is that we need to close the borders and reinvigorate our society's western values and christian morality. Nationalism is the way forward. It doesn't need to be white nationalism but it needs to be western nationalism grounded in Christian morality, individualism and capitalism.
First of all. Why is he liberal? You don't fight an enemy by joining their team and then helping to promote policies which hurt you.
The key to beating leftism is closing the borders. 0 immigration. That is step-one and the most important step. The next step is defunding public education. Completely dismantle it. $0 public funds going to education, period. Break up the oligopolies in Canada by dismantling all the government regulation which cements in the power of the oligopolies by stifling competition. Finally, we need to decouple from China entirely. Ban trade, ban our companies from working in China, expropriate Chinese assets held here and make it illegal to accept funds from the Chinese. A lot of subversion to western ideals is rooted in China.
Derek Sloan is the best by far; however, Sloan will never win federally in Canada. Canada is currently far too cucked.
Lewis is the next best and she may actually have a shot at beating a liberal candidate because she's a woman and black. It's a social justice trump card.
O'tool is better than McKay but only slightly. He also has a decent shot federally.
McKay is garbage.
I work from home. It's stuff like mandatory masks at a gym, at a restaurant (doesn't even make sense) and walking outside that will get my blood boiling. If we're going to make them mandatory anywhere the only place they should be is grocery stores. I'll begrudgingly support that if I have to but everything else is a joke.
The reality is that the effectiveness of masks is highly questionable anyway the government really shouldn't be regulating anything to do with them. Most of the studies that test masks effectiveness and have a "they work" result, are ones in which people were coughing. The studies where people weren't coughing show statistically insignificant benefits to wearing surgical masks. If you have symptoms you should be wearing a mask but if you have symptoms you shouldn't be out at restaurants, bars, gyms, etc... Why should 99% of the population be forced to wear masks instead of focusing on the 1% of people who have symptoms that are engaging in bad behaviors such as going to the gym with symptoms? Also, keep in mind going to the gym even with a surgical mask and coughing still has a high chance of transmission. The mask is limited protection.
Overall, the government shouldn't be legislating anything with regards to masks and the general public should not be upset over asymptomatic people not wearing masks.
Oh, I agree. Those against masks are right IMO but this is an issue of how best to govern a society. The government has no business restricting the liberties of society and legislating on a virus of this magnitude. If this was the black death or something then sure but covid-19 is not a pandemic the government should be legislating over. Sweden's death rate is already near 0 now and their economy actually was positive in the first quarter this year while most european countries were down.
The way our governments have been handling covid-19 is all wrong. The mask argument shouldn't be about whether it stops covid-19 or not or oxygen or whatever. it's about the fact that the government has been handling this pandemic all wrong from the start and more government legislation is not the solution. Let people decide for themselves what works best for them. There is no crisis to our society over this pandemic that needs to force the governments hand. Legislators just need to sit down and do absolutely nothing.
Do we do this for the flu or a common-cold? Why should we change our entire society around for covid-19? The costs aren't worth the benefits. The death rate is ~0.4% with the vast majority of people dying being over 70yos with pre-existing conditions. This is not a virus we change anything for.
If that's the standard then I'd assume Islam today is far less brutal than it was back in the Spanish Inquisition days. I'm also not convinced the Spanish Inquisition was upholding core Christian values. That seems more like powerful people using Christianity to justify doing authoritarian things in the name of Christianity in order to gain the moral high ground for public support.
