m-p{3}Canada’s Far-Right is Planning a Convoy to Toronto to ‘Save the Children’. It’s Already Spinning Out of Control.
cheery_coffee“Save the children is basically a generic statement obviously,” lead convoy organizer Gordon Berry told PressProgress. “There’s a multitude of things you could be saving them from.”
Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,” but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools and the trans agenda and the math agenda, gender dysphoria – all of these things.”
Oh, so it’s mostly about being an anti-LGTBQ and education hate parade, with some flat earth and anti vax thrown in.
“Trudeau’s paying LGBTQ a million dollars”
Does he think LGTBQ is like a company or secret society or something?!
“You got to save them from the whole system.”
I can understand where he’s coming from here, the system clearly failed him.
The math agenda? What are the conservatives worrying about this week?
These are people that literally never grew up.
It’s the 8 year old mentality of ‘math is hard and confusing, I would rather spend the day living in my imaginary world’
What we are seeing now is the temper tantrum that happens when someone challenges them to leave their comfort zone.
A temper tantrum that goes on for years. At least with children it’s usually over in minutes.
Yeah that stood out to me too, I’ve heard of these other dumb things.
I had a very strange conversation a couple of years ago. It seems that some people think that math is used only as a tool to control the population or something.
We were talking about something that most people would consider pretty innocuous, catch and release fishing. I mentioned that I had recently read an article that claimed that mortality among released fish was still high enough that approximately every second released fish should be counted against your limit because of the percentage of released fish that die of catch-related causes.
That lit the other guy’s hair on fire. “That’s math! You can’t seriously think that math is real? It’s all made up!” (Or words to that effect. Mouth frothing removed to protect the innocent.)
Over the course of the rest of the conversation, I “learned” that math was invented as a tool of oppression. Science uses math to create fake knowledge. Our senses are the only true sources of knowledge.
How to control a population 101:
Make them only trust their emotions.
If they actually followed through with that you’d kind of have to admire it. What else would they have to do away with? All abstract concepts obviously, along with everything they’d been told, read, or imagined. How about theory of mind? Object permanence? Would they be newly surprised by the sunrise every day?
It devolves pretty quickly into an infantile solipsism. The world exists only for me, and only when I’m looking.
They are anti-everything they don’t understand. Unfortunately that’s most things.
Math has a known liberal bias.
I thought math was racist?
