Like I said...blind spot. Or maybe you just don't know what you're talking about.

[fash-iz-uh m]
noun
1. (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

An apt description of modern progressives. Their calls to deny their opponents' a chance to speak, (see 'no-platforming' and the banning of conservative speakers from many universities), is suppression of criticism. Their calls for socialism and social license is the regimenting of industry and commerce. Their strong emphasis on ethnic politics and division is aggressive nationalism and their adherence to the tenet of white priveldge is racism. Progressives are fascists. You support fascists. I am well aware that I aimed an 'ism' at you. The difference between what I did and what you did is that I can back mine up with empirical fact. You, on the other hand, have nothing.

And, back to the point at hand; How can you defend the CBC after they have displayed a distinct lack of integrity?

Example....

The CBC said over and over again during that famous Copenhagen summit that all those leaders(and so many others) were going there to "Save the World". Who the hell are CBC reporters to decide that they are "Saving the world". Meanwhile, there was never any explanation about why not one major hurricane hit the US for over a decade but as soon as Harvey, the first major hurricane to strike the US in a decade hit.....

Guess what? Articles by the CBC linking it to climate change as seen here...
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/hurri ... -1.4265636

Just for your keen interest. Near the bottom of this Wikipedia article are the statistics by decade of hurricane strikes in the US. Interestingly, the worst is the 1880's(before the invention of the car) and the least amount of hurricane strikes....well the 2010's are not over yet but it is the last 10 years. And we were promised more and stronger by those who insulted the man-made deniers.

The CBC has an agenda and it in general mirrors the left wing agenda. Otherwise they will cease to exist with funds cut off.

Anytime the CBC covers anything Trump, for example, they have to add in little jokes and jabs. Even their tone of voice is condescending. Especially CBC Radio. It makes you wonder what else they are putting their own little spin on.

I'm just using Trump as an example btw I don't want to get into a discussion about him.
Saw this headline on the CBC website just today....
"Trump exits Paris Accord, Finding Genes Linked to Intelligence and more". No doubt...just a coincidence.

Your persistent question was already answered in several of my posts on this thread B208. I'm not going to repeat it again, just to have you ask the same question again. Put in some effort.

I'm also not going to debate your ridiculous rewrite of the dictionary and reality. The BS you and your type foist on the world only feeds others like you, it is seen for the bullshit it is to anyone with a brain and actually uses it. This kind of bullshit appeals to a certain type that has been energized by the dangerous buffoon currently in the Oval Office, and it may yet win the day. I always told people to not be so hasty declaring a man like Trump would never win the presidency, because unlike most I never had confidence in the intelligence of the American electorate. They are at a level of ignorance where any huckster appealing to their baser instincts can win the day. Witness last November.

Are Trump's supporters getting smarter? He's absolutely right when he says he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and not lose his supporters, because as spectacularly stupid he is, he's smarter than they are.

I suspect you are driven by something not quite the same but very similar. You have a view of the world that cannot be allowed to win. You and your kind are dangerous for SO many reasons.

If as you say your kind is rising and cannot be driven back under the rock you crawled from, then society is headed for a terrible conflict. Both sides are intractable.

I wish I was wrong, unfortunately I've been right about where this is going so far. Maybe not been as pessimistic as I should have been. Imagine a President from any party before Trump doing 1/1000th of the shit he's done? Our entire human dignity and morality - worldwide - has been sunk to frightening depths because of him and his supporters. Can the world recover? Not without a fight, which I fear is coming.

Here in quebec, we have the office de la langue francaise, better known as the tongue troopers. For some strange reason, no one has any respect for them.

BTW, I agree with you about the language police.

he took the bait.

seems like there are many idiots on this forum and in the United States of America, n'est-ce pas?

do you possess the great truth?

I won't quite put you into the ''ism'' category, but you are getting dangrously close to the definition.

Aw man, gotta get some good sleeping pills for my retired and retarded life. :lol:

This kind of bullshit appeals to a certain type that has been energized by the cartoonish child currently in the Prime Minister's Office, and it may yet win the day. I always told people to not be so hasty declaring a man like Trudeau would never win the PM's office because unlike most I never had confidence in the intelligence of the Canadian electorate. They are at a level of ignorance where any hipster appealing to their envious communist instincts can win the day. Witness October 2015.
Fixed that for ya. Interesting how well it flows still, n'est pas? It's pretty obvious the US of A has no monopoly on idiots.

But I'm glad you admit both sides are intractable. That's quite a big step from most "progressives", who insist they're tolerant, fair, and inclusive...usually while screaming down, suppressing, or bullying any viewpoint that doesn't match theirs lol.

Do elaborate on what sort of form this looming "fight" will take?

Someone as intelligent and world wise as you shouldn't have to ask that question if you paid more attention to both history and current events. The extreme, violent right is rising all over the world with people like Alex Jones as their preacher and powerful dimwits like Trump providing them cover and legitimacy. It's happening everywhere, even in Germany as the last few days have shown.

Your remarks about Trudeau suggests you naively think this is still just about politics. It's not and hasn't been for quite some time so you need to catch up. Charlottesville was not an anomaly, it was a preview of where we are headed.

Well, I've been saying for some time to anyone who will listen that the exact same factors that started the last "Great War" have been in place for awhile now. Even a novice student of history can see that. And yep, history always repeats. Most people are completely consumed by the frenzied banality of their lives these days, with our hyper-connected selves. It's full-on zombie nation now, glued to a screen every waking minute. I have a feeling that isn't by accident. Very few are paying attention to much more than their own little echo chamber.

What I find interesting is getting the European perspective from my sig other whose country has lived through both the Nazis and the Commies in the last century. She and family are literally amazed at the socialist path Canada is racing down. Been there, done that, didn't work out so great. Don't lose sight of the extremists on the left while you're ranting against the ones on the right.

Really, it just depends on which point in the same old cycle a country or region is in. North America is due for a war, it's been a few generations now. Anyone born in the last three generations in Canada has never even know war directly. Historically, that's rare. The peacetime has lasted longer than usual but eventually it'll turn to revolution again. Always does. But I still say that Trump and rise of his ilk is a symptom, not a cause.

All topics for another time and place, I suppose.

I know you answered it. I keep asking it because your answer high-lights your ability to double think.
I'm also not going to debate your....
You're not going to debate it because I have you dead to rights and you can't muster any effective counter argument. Your cause fits the very definition of fascism. I'm sorry, but truth is often ugly.
He's absolutely right when he says he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and not lose his supporters, because as spectacularly stupid he is, he's smarter than they are.
Fair enough, but compare that with Hillary who has been associated with a plethora of suspicious deaths and still maintains her core supporters. Trumps supporters may be stupid, but so are Hillary's. Ying to each other's yang

Setting aside your bluster, you are right. Decades of cultural marxism have brought us to this point. The marxists won't back down because they have been to deeply indoctrinated and the rest of us can't back down because the survival of Western society and culture is at stake.

Agreed. However the extreme left isn't as dangerous or violent as the extreme right.
complexintentions wrote:But I still say that Trump and rise of his ilk is a symptom, not a cause.
Agreed again, this process started long before Trump arrived and set in place the conditions under which a man like him could get elected to the most dangerous position on the planet. But he's there, and that makes him by far the most dangerous man on the planet right now.

Don't forget about the child prostitution ring operating out of a pizza parlour in DC, and the fact she is the devil incarnate. Your preacher Alex Jones says so.

I had the dubious pleasure of having to fly some of their top management around the north when I was flying up there.

Makes me feel uneasy just thinking about it.
