  • Because, many will argue, the white male is now a minority thats being oppressed…

    At 49.8% or some similarly dumb number, the facts are there. And I’ve seen advertisements for jobs etc that say my genetic mix isn’t welcome, like being French is a choice or being left-handed. The components of reverse sexism are there.

    I hope that if I learn to cope with minor disadvantage, that we can keep the equality movement as an equality movement and not some revenge play where I get penalized too often for something I wasn’t a part of.

    There. I know my own opinion smells like virtue signalling while it also doesn’t placate people who’ve been hurt and want payba-uh, justice. Ironically I’ll be downvoted to hell for promoting equality, I expect.



  • There are things in the AB NDP platform that I really like, and there are some things that I’m indifferent to. There are some things I wish weren’t there, and some things that I really wish they made a bigger deal about.

    When you both-sides like this, though, it trivializes one important contrast: there are ideas the NDP have that I don’t agree with, but there are ideas the Cons have that are actually harmful. The different between “what I prefer” and “what allows people to live” is hard to paint with that both-sides brush.

    Sure that wasn’t the plan, and I’m picking nits; I would totally agree if you said that. But our language may help contrast the two better by focusing on those differences, and sway the vote or bring more to the polls.
