I see a few ridings where the margin between Con and NDP is razor thin with Green taking a sizable chunk of the vote.

    You are the purveyor of lying when you don’t allow any challenge to authority and criticism of viewpoints, and attempt to punish people for unapproved statements. When people are censored without recourse it proves everything you push as false because mockery never means the other person is wrong but reveals your weak persoanlity.

      This is laughable with respect to the far right in BC, who are masquerading as small-c conservatives.

      The discourse of outrage that’s promulgated throughout social media is full of unsourced, proven lies. How do we know? Because they get airtime and volume, and are examined and debunked.

      In traditional media, the arguments for the unambiguous bullshit that gets aired are clearly founded in emotional, unscientific rhetoric, and mouthpieces for this bullshit are confronted and then immediately dissemble into a related issue backed by equally unsubstantiated emotional bullshit.

      Note that I am using the dictionary definition of bullshit here.

      Inevitably, when people complain about bullshit that is rather obviously propaganda built for oligarchism but hiding behind populism, some toady pops up to claim that true objectivity should put the opposing viewpoints on equal footing, and those that were educationally deprived of critical thinking skills will applaud.
