Seriously crazy shit afoot. Solidarity from north of the border.

just outright saying what they intend to do

Part of the problem is they're SO hard to listen to. Culty circular logic, the smarmy prep school punk attitude, so impressed with their own middling intelligence. The "marketplace of ideas" type language. They're very easy to tune out (and I usually do).

Even in this doc, I had to pause and recommit to watching to the end a few times, because every time one of them starts expounding, my monkey brain screeches "DANGER this person has no soul and would murder you for a toonie!" And the video is less than half an hour long. Your conservative-leaning smart acquaintances face so much more conditioning they need to break through on top of that.

[edit bc nobody needs to read me speechifying after watching that doc]
