As an outsider, the rambling against wokeness is insufferable, even though I personally agree with some points usually brought up. I only found out what wokeness is from people ranting against it, and never really see anyone arguing in favo

We're in a society where narratives need to be simple enough to grasp in 6 seconds. Any further thought or discussion is automatically antagonized or labelled "whataboutism". Narratives must be clean-cut good versus evil. Ass

Edit - ok, I see the mistake. Thanks. "Finland has the highest rates of detention per 100 000 inhabitants, about 214" If by detention you mean incarceration, that is still shy of half of the US rate https://en.wikipedia

Your comment and the sibling comment touch on more or less the same issue - "what does 'broken' mean?". We all agree there are problems, but does that justify saying "Canada is broken"? You start by saying that

Well, that wasn't my comment at all. I was specifically stating that the "Canada is broken" rhetoric is largely propaganda. That is very different from saying "everything is fine".

Mostly partisan propaganda. The "Canada is broken" slogan is by no means organic; it is a carefully executed propaganda piece. The conservative leader is very good with punch lines and communication in general (and is maybe a bit

Web 2.0-era peak hubris. A decade later, its hard to decide if this looks delusional or prophetic - they did change societies, but probably not in the ways they ostensibly wanted to be recognized for changing.

Like the Leadership Principles, or expecting everyone in your company to be a "leader". If everyone is a leader, the word is meaningless.

I considered adding "the rest of the world (or what I know of it)", but that is kind of implied, as no single person can plausibly have knowledge of life in every single place in the world. I lived in a few different places in Eur
