In this video, I document my interactions with Vancouver's pro mandate activists. Why are they so fast to judge other people? Why do they avoid a dialogue and when they do talk it devolves to ad hominem attacks and yelling? The divide between left and right is growing and I think I know why.
During the last two years of this mini pandemic I have been blessed when it comes to relationships with friends and family. None of my family has disowned me and miraculously all my pre pandemic friends have similiar views to my own when it comes to medical freedom.
Unfortunately, this is not the case for many others who I have become acquainted with first as a participant in the ongoing freedom rallys and later as an independent journalist covering the events. Dozens of people have told me shocking stories of family and friends who have ended lifetime relationships. It should be noted this is not putting these relationships on hold till the pandemic is over. What I am referring to is severe moral judgment, fiercely attacking lifetime friends and labelling them "horrible people" because they will not take the latest experimental MRNA vaccine. This is happening all around the world, a cultural revolution.
So what is going on? In the past, two people could have differing political views and still get along. One's political views did not make them a good or bad person.
More recently, there is an increasingly large group of people who want to inject their political views into society and this group was looking for a chance to do this before the pandemic. The C19 pandemic provided a perfect opportunity for these people to do just that. Now these people could force their political ideaology onto society under the cover of public safety. "It's not about politics. It's about safety." This became the slogan of the totalitarian left.
In modern times, you can no longer disagree with somebody's ideas without having your character attacked. This erosion of free speech is most evident when talking about medical freedom. One is not allowed to have an opinion which goes against the "medical consensus" as defined in the new C19 religion. You could be a doctor who has studied and trained your whole life or a nursing student half way into your degree. That is irrelevant. Fall into line or you will be deleted.
The totalitarian left have came up with the most brilliant strategy. Their political opponents are no longer allowed to voice their opinions without being labeled as "medical misinformation" and "hate speech." As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau famously stated those who disagree with him have "uncacceptable opinions" and perhaps should not be tolerated in Canada.
What is the result of these cultural and societal changes in daily interactions on the street and on university campuses? People have been trained to identify any opinion they disagree with as "hate speech." (Continued)
