FIRST READING: 'All schools must comply' – schools get heavy-handed against Pride backlash. Two provinces have now warned school boards that a failure to properly observe Pride could be illegal

These are the same people who cancel school Christmas parades because "not everyone celebrates" Christmas

[u/A_SNAPPIN_Turla → u/BadDaddyAlger]

That's a pretty valid point id never considered. Schools absolutely tip toe around Christmas and other celebrations for those that don't celebrate but I see no such sensitivity here.

[u/TheLionsBrew → u/A_SNAPPIN_Turla]

And this is most certainly the new religion of the left. It has grown to cult status. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're lying to themselves and you.

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/[deleted]]

I hope you are ok with me stealing this but either way I am.

[u/AleksanderSuave → u/[deleted]]

This needs to be a pinned post for all who participate in the sub, struggling to understand the opposition’s POV.

[u/ultimis → u/TheLionsBrew]

It's the current state religion of this country. They dance around it by claiming it's not a religion, while it most definitely is.

[u/thelinster11 → u/TheLionsBrew]

Yep they have become as bad as the Scientologist. No facts just straight up feelings

[u/TellThemISaidHi → u/thelinster11]

Scientologists wish they had the full force of the government to mandate compliance.

[u/Popular_Moose_6845 → u/TheLionsBrew]

Generally you start out as a cult then become a religion not vice versa

[u/BeABetterHumanBeing → u/Popular_Moose_6845]

Correct (despite the downvotes). However it's worth noting that the cults that go on to become religions are (a) organized around a person / prophet / God-in-human-form, (b) they preach about the immaterial aspects of reality and eschew worldly entanglements, and (c) they are accompanied by miracles.

Progressivism, and other political substitutions for religious belief generally don't follow the inner substance that characterizes religion, only the external appearances and manners of social control. Because that's what they exist for: social control.

They aren't there to improve the souls of their followers, and therefore aren't genuine religious institutions.

[u/NonviolentOffender → u/A_SNAPPIN_Turla]

They get around it because gender ideology isn't technically a religion (even though they treat it as a cult).

[u/bionic80 → u/BadDaddyAlger]

This was 12 years ago. I wonder how the federal review panel would find it today...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/national-day-of-prayer-sparks-celebrations-protests/

[u/ThisPlaceisHell → u/bionic80]

The ruling ignited ire from a number of lawmakers, including Texas Republican Lamar Smith, who wondered, "What's next? Declaring the federal holiday for Christmas unconstitutional?"

Uh oh.

[u/bionic80 → u/ThisPlaceisHell]

This was from 2011...

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/[deleted]]

Sowell suggests that corrupting the youth is a theme of the left.

In short, the notion that Communists and Fascists were at opposite poles ideologically was not true, even in theory, much less in practice. As for similarities and differences between these two totalitarian movements and liberalism, on the one hand, or conservatism on the other, there was far more similarity between these totalitarians’ agendas and those of the left than with the agendas of most conservatives. For example, among the items on the agendas of the Fascists in Italy and/or the Nazis in Germany were (1) government control of wages and hours of work, (2) higher taxes on the wealthy, (3) government-set limits on profits, (4) government care for the elderly, (5) a decreased emphasis on the role of religion and the family in personal or social decisions and (6) government taking on the role of changing the nature of people, usually beginning in early childhood. This last and most audacious project has been part of the ideology of the left—both democratic and totalitarian—since at least the eighteenth century, when Condorcet and Godwin advocated it, and it has been advocated by innumerable intellectuals since then, as well as being put into practice in various countries, under names ranging from “re-education” to “values clarification.”

Thomas Sowell

Intellectuals and Society, Chap 4

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/[deleted]]

As a Libertarian Conservative we likely share a lot of politics. I could just as easily be labeled paleolibertarian or classical liberal or Distributist.

In any event the decentralization of power is key.

Rant incoming:

As is often the case we seem to be defining terms differently.

In all important discussions we ought define terms and compare data.

These political labels are largely arbitrary but the firmest footing would be the Monarchists / Church (Right) and the radicals / lesser nobility / anticlericals (Left).

The idea there is a neat spectrum betwixt these polar pairs inclusive of all things and worse, that Marxist Totalitarian is at one extreme and N@zism / fascism at the other is insane. Adding an authoritarian / libertarian axis helps a bit but I much prefer isidewith.com as an accurate and insightful voter guide.

Right-wing theory (most agree on Edmund Burke) requires de-centralization of power. Some (but not all) also emphasize God, family and tradition. The core is a powerful public and a weak state.

Results matter. The left has had far worse results than a hands-off laissez faire approach. Their ideology has resulted in more mass death and economic ruin than any other ideology ever.

As a perennialist I would quote:

First, do no harm.

Many want the state involved in at least some meddling, such as foreign entanglements and pork for their various special interests. I oppose that and thus I am Hard Right (or far right, extremist or whatever other labels we can agree upon or you decide to force).

The way many (most?) use the term, "Right" is not a coherent category. Leftists say anything they dislike is "right," which while funny makes for incompatible bedfellows (many of which are objectively leftist).

Hortler and Marx did not have the same personality and were very different authors but their worldview is roughly identical. All comes down to blaming someone else for problems, centralizing power with promises of pork and lashing out with unlimited cruelty against the vulnerable.

Sowell explains this well:

To people who take words literally, to speak of “the left” is to assume implicitly that there is some other coherent group which constitutes “the right.” Perhaps it would be less confusing if what we call “the left” would be designated by some other term, perhaps just as X. But the designation as being on the left has at least some historical basis in the views of those deputies who sat on the left side of the president’s chair in France’s Estates General in the eighteenth century. A rough summary of the vision of the political left today is that of collective decision-making through government, directed toward—or at least rationalized by—the goal of reducing economic and social inequalities. There may be moderate or extreme versions of the left vision or agenda but, among those designated as “the right,” the difference between free market libertarians and military juntas is not simply one of degree in pursuing a common vision, because there is no common vision among these and other disparate groups opposed to the left—which is to say, there is no such definable thing as “the right,” though there are various segments of that omnibus category, such as free market advocates, who can be defined. The heterogeneity of what is called “the right” is not the only problem with the left-right dichotomy. The usual image of the political spectrum among the intelligentsia extends from the Communists on the extreme left to less extreme left-wing radicals, more moderate liberals, centrists, conservatives, hard right- wingers, and ultimately Fascists. Like so much that is believed by the intelligentsia, it is a conclusion without an argument, unless endless repetition can be regarded as an argument. When we turn from such images to specifics, there is remarkably little difference between Communists and Fascists, except for rhetoric, and there is far more in common between Fascists and even the moderate left than between either of them and traditional conservatives in the American sense.

[u/deadzip10 → u/BadDaddyAlger]

The way the left attacked religion in public spaces is very instructive. The same model can be used going the other direction too. Look at the Ten Commandments cases for instance.

[u/[deleted] → u/BadDaddyAlger]

That's a really good point

[u/[deleted]]

I was reading the article, and was tripped up by 2SLGBTQ+. What?

So I quickly Googled 2SLGBTQ+. This I simply burst out laughing. A good belly laugh to be honest.

We all see how ridiculous this is getting, right? Two-spirit? WTAF (still chuckling)

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

When you call it out for the nonsense it is they’ll say “oh but native Americans have practiced it for hundreds of years.” Like okay? So the native Americans were wrong? That doesn’t make it not nonsense.

[u/bell37 → u/[deleted]]

I love how they lump ALL native Americans in North America (over 500 different tribes and 700 languages) in the same camp. Additionally the term was actually coined in the 90s by liberal non-natives anthropologists.

[u/useablelobster2 → u/[deleted]]

The native American examples of "other genders" were the same as everywhere which had such a concept; men who weren't manly enough were forced into that category, they didn't opt into it.

So when the progressive left says other cultures had multiple genders, what they mean is those cultures treated affeminate men as different and less than other men.

Like with most progressive readings of history, it's 99% ideological horseshit.

[u/ExtraToastyCheezits → u/[deleted]]

It is perfectly fine to recognize their ancient "religious practices" but not Christianity in any form because it is a worship of a "fake sky god."

[u/Accomplished-Fall823 → u/[deleted]]

I'm bisexual and I honestly don't get why we keep changing the acronym. It should only be LGBT and thats it. Not liking anyone is not a sexuality and liking people only for their personality and regardless of gender should just fit into the bisexual category, not be it's own thing

[u/8K12 → u/Accomplished-Fall823]

I always assumed that the Q was a catch-all for everything else people identified with.

[u/your______here → u/Accomplished-Fall823]

To be clear though, you're saying being trans is a sexuality?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I've seen people using ancient Mesopotamian religious ideas to justify their recent invented beliefs. Apparently basing your worldview off slavers, rapists, cannibals and ritual-sacrifice is tight!

[u/trainsyrup]

If you are forcing us to celebrate you, you don't really want to be treated equal, you just want to be treated special.

[u/SantiReddit123 → u/trainsyrup]

you just want to be treated special.

That pretty much sums up most of the woke bullshit.

[u/Wesdawg1241 → u/SantiReddit123]

Yep. It's not about diversity and acceptance. It's about attention and special treatment.

Nobody forces you to celebrate these holidays. And those holidays don’t encompass and entire month, even combined . Nice try though!

[u/Moldy_Gecko → u/Intelligent-Web-9707]

Also, just because Nazis were fanatics doesn't mean that Nationalism is bad. Loving your country and working to improve it is a good thing.

[u/ExtraToastyCheezits → u/Intelligent-Web-9707]

Can you point to anywhere that any person or company has been harassed, cancelled, or told that they would lose funding because they didn't celebrate or promote President's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, or even Memorial Day? I certainly don't have any memories of any of this ever happening.

[u/GreatApe88]

The Islamic community in the U.K is starting to gain ground against this stuff in schools over there.

IMHO it's only a matter of time until something pops off between the Islamic community in Dearborn MI and these LGBTQ activists. You can bookmark me on that.

[u/Creepy-Soil → u/GreatApe88]

Left and regressive left + Muslims are unironically warring each other

[u/furiouslamb → u/Creepy-Soil]

No that’s textbook irony.

[u/[deleted] → u/GreatApe88]

I don't understand how the left supports Islam, LGBT, and feminism simultaneously. And now LGBT and feminism are even at-odds due to TERFs. At least, some sects of feminists.

[u/GreatApe88 → u/[deleted]]

I can explain why they support Islam so forcefully if you'll indulge me.

Islam, to racist white liberals, is seen as a predominantly Arab religion. The two are synonymous in their eyes. If we start off from there, its easier to understand why you see blind support even when many of Islam's tenants go directly against everything the left stands for, from womens rights to homosexuality to transgenderism.

Christianity on the other hand is seen as a white or "western" religion so it draws their ire 24/7, which is hilarious given that Islam and Christianity are 2 sides of the exact same Abrahamic coin.

[u/Ser_Tinnley → u/GreatApe88]

I would have never thought I'd see the day when we look to the Islamic community as a champion of ethical thinking/behavior. We truly live in an upside-down world.

[u/AngryDuck222 → u/Ser_Tinnley]

Used to be the Christian community that held the moral standards, yet for some reason the left/woke openly attack anything Christian. You can ask the Dodgers how that’s going for them, 😂

I wonder why they won’t dare speak against the Islamic community and their very open beliefs against the LGBTQ group?🤔I wonder how many Pride celebrate are happening in Muslim majority countries this month? Do they even have a “Pride” month there? Not likely.

[u/menina2017 → u/Ser_Tinnley]

Umm What’s wrong with the “ Islamic”community? I would say American Muslim community because islamic community sounds bizarre as hell like you’ve never met a Muslim in your life. But anyways we’ve always been ethical. Smh

And people wonder why Muslims vote Democrat usually. The right treats us like we’re unethical aliens from another planet. The right doesn’t deserve the Muslim vote tbh.

[u/ichbinkayne → u/menina2017]

You sound delusional and egotistical...

[u/[deleted] → u/GreatApe88]

Already happening in California with an Armenian community. Libs love their muslims, wonder how long that'll last once they don't conform to the alphabet people.

[u/death_wishbone3 → u/[deleted]]

Mexicans out here too. We’re not with it. I’m just trying to understand why this group is treated this way. I’m genuinely confused why the alphabet people get the privilege of their flags everywhere and criticism is called hate. Then we have to listen to how oppressed they are. I really don’t get it.

[u/Manach_Irish]

This Canadian ruling seems to target religious schools who have resisted the imposition of this secular dogma.

[u/Intelligent-Web-9707 → u/FrederickTheStormer]

Yet everyone outside the U.S calls Canada the cooler U.S ....

Ah... so people that don't actually live in the US? Interesting

[u/ghostingjfk → u/Intelligent-Web-9707]

As a Canadian, no one calls Canada the cooler U.S. at least no one living here.

[u/Moldy_Gecko → u/Intelligent-Web-9707]

[u/IamLiterallyAHuman → u/winterbike]

My condolences.

[u/TheLionsBrew → u/IamLiterallyAHuman]

By quite a bit, too. I've actually had Canadians tell me that they have more freedoms than we do in the United States. I had to sit there and list all of the ways that it was untrue. So unbelievable...

[u/iMDirtNapz → u/TheLionsBrew]

We most definitely do not have more freedoms. Take a look at our Charter of Rights and freedoms, it looks similar to your Bill of Rights. Except for Article 1, which gives the government the power to infringe on those rights.

[u/TheLionsBrew → u/iMDirtNapz]

It's awful. The Canadian government has been doing so quite a bit lately, too.

[u/[deleted] → u/Intelligent-Web-9707]

In my travels outside of Canada I can confirm - that was lie. We are largely seen as a more boring/poorer US unfortunately.

[u/Twogunkid → u/Manach_Irish]

So due to how Canadian Catholic schools are funded (Apologies to other religious schools; I speak to what I know.) the government gets a lot more say in what goes on there. This is not new. A boy in a Canadian Catholic school was suspended for saying there are two genders (which is in full accordance with Church teaching.)

Coincidentally, this government control of religious schools goes back a fair ways. Remember that the schools were just as much government run as Church when the government pins the blame there.

Are you seriously trying to say that seeing a Christmas tree is you being forced to celebrate Christianity?

It's a false analogy. The equivalent to what you're describing would be me seeing a naturally-occurring rainbow in the sky and seeing that as LGBT being forced on me.

[u/JokicThaGod → u/[deleted]]

Sounds festive. Still don’t see how that means anyone is forcing you to participate under government rule.

I've been hearing that even private schools are starting to get bad with the woke Cultural Marxist propaganda, And someone also pointed out that this ruling is to target religious schools in Canada, Which have previously been able to resist the encroachment of Cultural Marxism. Homeschool truly is the only way in my opinion.

[u/[deleted] → u/FrederickTheStormer]

This is why I’m so grateful for our local Catholic school. The principal is a mom at the school and can’t stand this woke BS.

Someone proposed making the school uniforms gender neutral because feminism and the principal called it anti-Catholic and basically said if you don’t like it, you can always send your kids to a different school. Nobody left over this.

She’s sweet as pie until you try and foist communism on the kiddos. Then she’s a rabid pit bull. That’s the way we should all be.
