Excellent piece. I'm glad you took on the request of your peers. You hit all the important points on the head.
They're doing to Canada what they are doing to Europe. They do it in a rather ingenious way. They play good cop bad cop. Trump the patriarchal racist bigot who terrorizes the migrants and locks up their kids, which in turn the migrants (not even the same migrants) 'run' to the open armed self-proclaimed feminist Trudeau. It's like watching community theatre, it's so obvious. Yet, everyone eats it up. It has put me at odds with my core group of activist friends (from the MAM days). For they can't seem to look at these situations without an emotional lens on. They can't/won't accept the negative consequences of flooding people of a completely (worlds apart) culture and way of life into a country in such a short amount of time. In their minds, every single migrant is a poor persecuted family, just looking for a better life, and that's just factually untrue.
Anyways, great job. Resteemed
Hey @venomnymous thank for the support, much appreciated. Yes this left/right .. good cop/bad cop routine plays to the brains left-right hemispheres and so if you're caught in the trap it becomes ever more difficult to see the bigger picture. The left focuses on the positivity and the right the negativity whilst neither offer a complete and full evaluation of what is happening. The vast majority of my friends have also been drawn into this dynamic and have become entrenched within their black and white worldviews. There are good and bad within every facet of society so I refuse to be drawn into the generalisations and hatred .. equally I'm a realist that refuses to be drawn into an idealistic worldview, hence why I have written a balanced perspective. You can see the manipulation and mind control occuring in real time and it's so frustrating to see the vast majority being increasingly drawn into the web. Thanks again my friend.
