If you want to know why UCP is cutting funding for post secondary education and installing a new curriculum, watch this video.

UCP has used the same arguments as Tom Cotton.

Indoctrination of youth and revealing conservative values to be inherently racist and misogynist.
Any institution advancing knowledge of real history is a threat to conservative ideology.

Truth is viewed as indoctrination by conservatives who would white wash ugly truths and focus on white Anglo-Saxon Christian accomplishments. Not on imperialism’s & colonialism’s impact.
Press Secretary Psaki demonstrates how those in power deal with these accusations.

But Albertan parents, curriculum experts and teachers are not in power.

A different strategy is required for those being ruled by far right white supremacists and Christian Nationalists.
Challenge the meta narrative. Reveal its inherent bias and expose conservatism and libertarianism for what they actually are: sanitized imperialism (fascism).

This is an interesting thread that I’m going to use to illustrate current affairs in Israel.

The farther left are struggling with whom to support during this Palestinian Israeli conflict. They’re struggling with cognitive dissonance.
Characteristic of the further left is the desire to view the world through binary thinking. Good or bad, right or wrong, just or unjust.

Nuance and grey areas are forbidden. So a fissure has emerged between those who support Palestine and those who defend Israel.
It’s a curiosity to witness those who attempt to impose simplicity onto a complex and complicated situation. You can almost feel the angst this is causing within the progressive camp.

Support Jews who have been persecuted for millennia or Palestinians, indigenous to the region?

While I understand this narrative is difficult to fully comprehend, I will again offer it for consumption and consideration.
Israel is a relatively young democracy that emerged shortly after WW2 in allied occupied territory. 1948 to be exact.

What many don’t realize is that at the end of the war, just like at the end of WW1, occupied territories were carved up and borders redrawn.
Those in power felt it was their purview to arbitrarily and autocratically determine the fate of nations and political special interests to claim territory and rejig world order.

WW1 leaders had reassigned territory of the former Ottoman Empire into the nation states of today.

The quickest way to get blocked is accuse me of being a closet racist.

But only after I hand your ass back to you.
Complexity of global problems requires careful assessment and analysis. If you’re at the stage of picking sides and vilifying an entire nation of people because of what their leadership has done to an entire other nation of people, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
Middle Eastern politics is complicated, complex and nuanced. If you think a simple solution is to be had by vilifying Israel, so not engage with me in discourse.

I absolutely will not tolerate small minded simple solutions to make people feel better & cope with their emotions.

So, I found a new conspiracy theory being propagated by far right trolls.

Far right is offering disinformation about senior AHS staff and LPC fake goal of taking over healthcare.

The feds can’t take over healthcare using the Canada Health Act.
LPC could stop sending UCP transfer payments, but I doubt that’s an action LPC would take during a pandemic.

So this is fear mongering and amplification of false information.
More interesting was the discovery of a 22K follower account spreading disinformation within far right Twitter.

How do you accumulate 22K followers in 1.5 years? Is this a bot? A paid troll with fake followers? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@JasonOnTheDrums @jkenney @GovWhitmer Yes, that’s the coordinated attack on Gov. Whitmer to which I’m referring.

Kenney inserted himself to be part of the pile on that enabled the domestic terrorist attempt on her life through stochastic terrorist rhetoric. Trump’s call to liberate Michigan being the most obvious.
@JasonOnTheDrums @jkenney @GovWhitmer During a tense situation with open insurrection, the premier of Alberta referred to the target of radical extremists as “brain dead.”

Alberta’s premier participated in dehumanization of Gov. Whitmer that very nearly cost the Governor her life.
@JasonOnTheDrums @jkenney @GovWhitmer There’s no way to soften or whitewash what Kenney did.

After being targeted by Trump in an incitement to violence, Alberta’s premier leant a “helping” hand to the incitement of violence, the denigration and dehumanization of a woman who has opposing political beliefs and power.

Told ya this is a distraction.

Right in front of your eyes.
Read MLA Orr’s post.

Kenney is the leader raised up by god. He’s an agent of god.

That’s Dominionist code language to affirm to Dominionists currently suffering from cognitive dissonance that this charade is entirely political theatre.
Anyone who believes Kenney is in any imminent danger of being ousted doesn’t understand the base supporters UCP has.

But they should. The vast majority are evangelical Christians who have abandoned critical thinking and adopted faith in what they are told from their pastor.
