Conservative politicians in #Alberta, from #DanielleSmith and #JasonKenney on down to #PierrePoilievre and #PrestonManning, have used the rage of Albertans as the fissile material powering their own political ambitions. In the process, they have created a generation of #grievance #junkies, people who are absolutely addicted to the idea of their own #victimhood at the hands of a corrupt federal government.

"... the #Holocaust and the #Nakba as historical traumas can be understood, acknowledged, & remembered, without constructing a kind of competition between #trauma and #victimhood, is crucial for any path to future peace and reconciliation,” “To find a way out of a destructive spiral of #hatred, #dehumanization, and #violence we must understand the long-lasting ‘shadows’ of historical traumas."

“People are like that .... They need to make their own worst experiences universal. It gives them a kind of support.’ And who can blame them? It is just infuriating to argue with someone like that; because of an experience that has denied them their humanity, they go around denying another kind of humanity in others, which is the truth of human variety -- it stands alongside our sameness.”
