trust me, I DO. Way back in the late 70s/early 80s I read some books that belonged to my grandparents. Books like Change Agents in the Schools by Barbara M. Morris, and NEA: Trojan Horse in American Education (they lived in the states). And several other books like "Why Johnny Can't Learn". One book mentioned how in the 1920s socialist educator John Dewey plotted to dumb down education, so that children would be easier to indoctrinate into socialism. I saw it happening in the 1980s in Canada right before my eyes, and several years after I'd initially read Change Agents in the Schools, which mentioned "lifeboat scenarios" and "values clarification", one of the classes in my middle school tried pulling this shit, only it was a nuclear fallout bunker/shelter instead of a lifeboat and I fully refused to participate. My peers were too stupid to understand my objections. It wasn't a class that MATTERED ("Health Class" or something like it, I forget the exact name of it) at least.

My schooling happened in the 90s and I can say that I've seen much of that in hindsight. Oddly, enough I think being bullied may have actually SAVED me. It motivated me to withdraw into myself and daydream an internalized self that stabled in my mind and largely dissociated from my studies by the time I reached middle school. Hell, I wasn't much of a motivated learner until I started college and continued on to university. Even then, I mostly learned how these ideologies operated without absorbing them.

On the topic of bullying, I noticed that Canadians on the left employ it not through intimidation or violence, but through emotional manipulation and exclusion. Basically, Mean Girls on a societal level.

LMFAO, we did the exact same "lifeboat" senario in social studies when I was in 7th? grade? Either way it looks like you have given me a lot of Christmas reading to do.
 
You have to be fucking shitting me, we're being taxed for this kind of trash?!

The dual use of "Canada is a proudly post-national country of diverse economic participants" and "it's actually extremely right wing and bad to think government premises should only fly flags associated with the government." is a deadly move to liberals. Presents the social fragmentation as normal. (I mean, think of the food!) And that not raising the flag of Pakistan over Calgary city hall is fuel for evil white supremacists (more evil than demon worshipping racial aliens)

I got bullied in the 70s and 80s mostly and yeah, I did a daydream thing too, and managed to not "follow the crowd" in the braindead acceptance of whatever the school doled out in terms of ideology. Far be it from me to do a Moviebob, but I'm pretty sure I was a LOT smarter than most of the kids anyway, who would get Cs while I got A's and B's mostly and say to me in a sorta joking way, "You make me siiiiiiiiiiick" when they compared the grades we got on stuff.

Canadian bullying can run more passive-aggressive, although there were a couple violent individuals in the mix because of course there were.

mine was in like 8th grade because in 7th grade I went to a different (religious) school, where while we didn't get a "lifeboat" exercise, a group of kids mocked lifeboat scenarios in a skit that had me wondering if those kids read the same book I had. Never bothered to ask them about it for some reason, though.

i read a sign at the pharmacy today that said Naloxone kits are now free for First Nations individuals. But I thought they were free for EVERYONE? I'm so confused!

Cart in front of the horse brah. The NDP’s harm mitigation policies ensure that more will die.

Harm mitigation, a lefty idea born out of AIDS that is ill equipped to deal with aids, heroin addiction.

The final boss of this policy is fentanyl, and it’s failing miserably against this antagonist.

For me I was half educated in Flaw'da, half educated in Canada.

Came up to Ontario around middle school and was honestly shocked by the poor level of education Canadians have. Its not even that its that bad in terms of actual content (it was a bit behind compared to where I was previously learning in Florida), but even in the mid 2000s so much of the education system was completely cucked and against critical thinking.

They push you into certain answers that are assumptive from the question, even open ended ones. It was constant bombardment of social justice rhetoric, stories, and activism. I can remember having to write essays on Craig Kielburger, who I didnt care about too much (wasnt he involved in some scandal with Trudeau) and everything is generally just slanted towards the left wing, or supporting left wing social justice causes.

That disassociation propelled me to be more mistrustful of authoritative sources of "information", because the contrast showed me in a very practical way that there are people trying to gaslight you and there are different "ideologies" and lenses to view the world from

I hate them so much, they are worse than niggers and trannies. With niggers they're at least potty trained, and trannies are a self solving problem and theres a small amount of them. Indians bring nothing but pestilence and there's a billion and a half of them

what's hilarious about that, is they don't even realize they're ending their own voterbase. If druggies don't vote NDP I'll eat my hat. Last I heard though, there's a final boss even worse than fentanyl. They're called Nitazenes. Some of which are up to 80 times stronger than fentanyl. They were developed in the 1950s but were never approved due to extreme risk of overdose.

the Kielburger kids had a syndicated column in the newspapers, usually activist bullshit. I guess their parents were hardcore Liberal activists too. Plus it probably didn't help that their teachers were all activists - either NDP or Liberal. They got a lot of press until the fallout from their WE charity shenanigans. Apparently this whole activism thing started when Craig Kielburger was 12 and saw an article in the Toronto Red Star about a 12-year-old child labor carpetmaker in Pakistan who got murdered for speaking out about the carpet industry. The organization started out doing a good thing, freeing child slaves from forced carpetmaking. But that ended up being completely fucking pointless, as their families simply re-sold them to the carpet makers. They did however, somehow succeed in getting an anti-child-labor activist released from prison in India. So instead they started building schools in India, Nicaragua, Kenya, and Ecuador.

And then the WE charity scandal happened...

I forget a lot of the details around the scandal but having random people help "build" schools only for local workers to do the actual work/fix up what the people who had no idea what they were doing did was really funny.
You don't even do any actual charity work you just pretend

Well I guess the cartels found a way to make them, since junkies are OD'ing on them all the time now.

Lets just say I work in an industry filled to the brim with ignorant socialists. The reading material I have been given would have fast tracked the 12 year old me into becoming a raging fascist. I have been documenting the propaganda material for a decade now. One day I will share it. It is absolutely infuriating.
