Conspiratorial conservatives

The only phrase missing from this editorial masquerading as news is “right wing authoritarianism”. Judging from the choice of political leaders used as examples of liars and the complete absence of any discussion of lies promoted by leftists, it’s pretty clear that the book’s author is convinced that only conservatives could possibly buy into conspiracy theories.

“I studied the words of big liars throughout contemporary history, from Hitler to Trump and found common patterns,” University of Toronto linguist Marcel Danesi told CTVNews.ca.

Danesi points to the Nazi regime, which described its targets as “pests” and “parasites” – terms that have been echoed more recently by white supremacists in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Thank God the CBC has our back when it comes to misinformation and “media-literacy”. Anyone with even a tenuous grasp of basic logic can ferret out the double standards contained in the article. To add to the putrid mix, the bizarrely named MediaSmarts spokesman is invited to weigh in with these examples of twisted logic:

“Disinformation quite often is true information that is presented in a misleading context, like a genuine photo that’s presented as being from a different time and place than it actually was,” he said.

“Knowing how to use fact-checking tools is one of the quickest and most efficient ways of finding out whether a claim has already been verified or debunked.”

Fact-checkers? Anyone with a Facebook account already knows what their purpose is, and it’s not to add to the free flow of information.

I will be attending federal Minister of Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson’s event with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce in Regina on June 28. He will be talking about the “just transition,” which means to do away with the oil and gas sector, one of Saskatchewan’s most important industries. But you won’t be able to share any of my stories coming from that event on Facebook, or Instagram. I don’t even know if you can privately share it on Facebook Messenger. Likely not. So a federal minister might be speaking about the demise of your industry and livelihood, and you can’t share or even read those stories through Facebook. There’s a wee possibility that “just transitioning” your job out of existence might upset you. But that story will be verboten on Facebook. As will every other story.

Here’s the editorial on it. Read now, before more blocking takes place.

Embrace the minefield!

For a societal problem that is alleged to be so deeply ingrained as to be nearly intractable, it’s surprising to find out that employees of the City of Winnipeg can liberate themselves in about thirty minutes.

The course provides a great overview of the importance of using gender-inclusive language and looks at how misgendering, or using the wrong pronouns, can feel and shares best practices for avoiding misgendering going forward.
