@ilyaibrahimovic9842 I say just remain humble in your opinions and express them as such. Always be open to the fact that your mind will change if you get better information. Sometimes things come out wrong like you say, and in that case if you are humble about your opinions, hopefully people will see that and calmly explain another perspective. Then counter with how you can see how they'd interpret you like that and you'd like to clarify. That won't please everyone, but some people cannot be pleased, and literally no amount of evidence will ever get them to change their mind so don't even engage. Once you realize you're dealing with an ideologue, just politely end the conversation and walk away. Not worth the effort. Fuck trying to please everyone. Unless it's your asshole boss and you need to keep your job until you find another one and you're actively looking, fuck 'em. Don't waste your time.

@ilyaibrahimovic9842 "honest reasoning is only effective on a minority of people" Thanks for making me sad just before bed, haha. Don't be scared of how you've mislead people. Just being aware of it is a good thing. From trying to get a child to stop crying, to trying to convince your boss you need a raise, we ALL try to manipulate people. The goal is to listen to that gut feeling when it tells you that perhaps you've gone too far, and it sounds like you have that voice so you are a step up on many, many, many people.

You’re out of your mind if you think conservatives are more likely to play the insult game then progressives. Of course some people do go look at the comments sections in any YouTube video and you will see that conservatives are far more willing to make actual points and are less prone to ad hominem attacks

@ I appreciate you actually giving me your reasoning. That said, I don't see that as woke at all. He said the tariffs will disproportionately hurt the poor and working class. They will. It's just math. I don't see pointing that out as being woke. I think you're concerned a bit too much by the Let Them Eat Cake thing. Make no mistake, pretty much every friggen government policy benefits the rich. That's just how it is. Trump is not worried about his next meal so he doesn't put that as high on his agenda as the millions of people who are food insecure, thus I think it's an apt phrasing. Small town Saskatchewan farming communities now have people of food assistance. That was inconceivable until very recently. If the concept of leftists and woke were never a thing, I don't think you'd be so upset about what he is saying. It's a rich dude saying he's worried about how the working man will pay the bills. That's not a far leftist university communist position at all. He's not saying we need men in women's sports, he's not saying DEI is great at combating white supremacy, he's saying the tariffs will cause daily necessities to up in price and he is right.

The sad part is that people will see that this is on the daily wire and involves these two and they will not listen to the actual words being said. I would love to hear somebody debate this and give specifics because you’ll notice that the alarmist crowd never does. They resort to insults and name-calling when you point out the extreme inefficiency and illogical nature of what they are currently doing. They simply refuse to accept that these two are on the same side as the people who hate them. Everybody wants a cleaner planet. This is on the daily wire so they will just say that it’s conservative nonsense. The fact that these two are on a conservative channel talking about the best ways to clean up the planet should give them hope, not anger. I’m 100% convinced that those people don’t actually care about the end result nearly as much as they care about the fight in and of itself. They actually enjoy the fight and confrontation and it’s a sickness. There’s no other rational explanation.

23:46 . I thought he was exaggerating. Nope. Here's right from the government's website: "On October 20, 2016, the Government started the process of reconstituting all JACs in order to make them more representative of the diversity of Canada. A public application process for the Public Representative positions was launched, and diversity and unconscious bias training was developed. Diversity training for JAC members will be provided by the Chief Justice of Canada, the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin by means of a videotaped lecture. Her videotaped lecture will assist JAC members to assess the qualities that make a good judge, understand the challenges of judging in a multicultural society and comprehend the importance of diversity on the bench. Two interactive tools on unconscious bias training will also be provided to JAC members. "Find the Right Fit Using an Objective Eye," an interactive training tool on unconscious bias, will be provided to JAC members through the Canada School of Public Service." And they make a point of making 50% judges as well, as opposed to 100% of the most competent regardless of genitalia.
