Donald Trump has been in our political minds for close to a decade now, and probably will continue further into the future. This whole time since his election in 2016 – to which my response was not anger when he got elected, but more of a “wow that’s hilarious” – a question I have asked … Continue reading Why do People Hate Donald Trump?
The Democrats are the Party of Jungian Shadow Projection
We are steadfast into the 2024 election, and in all honesty, the Democrat Party is firing on jet fuel right now with the change in candidates from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris. The polls, the media coverage, and the general “vibes” of the election are swinging, I would say aggressively, in the Democrat's favor. Is … Continue reading The Democrats are the Party of Jungian Shadow Projection
The Misconception of Canadian Healthcare
Growing up in this country, the concept of “free healthcare” was always seen as a trump card to play against someone who ever wanted to take a jab at your country. Canada is x, y, or z? “Yeah, at least we have free healthcare”. I mean, this statement was amplified during Michael Moore’s films Bowling … Continue reading The Misconception of Canadian Healthcare
Everything from the Recent Pro-Palestinian Protests is not Just a Narcissistic Transfer from Students to Teachers (or vice versa). It’s Much Larger in Scope.
The narcissism unfolding on campuses with the protesters for Palestine has been quite a site to see. One can expect students, I predict 70% have no idea about the back story between Israel and Palestine, to be at the forefront of the protests. A large-scale LARP of the “rebel force” fighting for the oppressed. Yes, … Continue reading Everything from the Recent Pro-Palestinian Protests is not Just a Narcissistic Transfer from Students to Teachers (or vice versa). It’s Much Larger in Scope.
The Last Treatise of Covid-19: 4 Years to the Day of My First Post on the Topic
I have been waiting for this moment for quite some time now – and I must say – I thought this day would never come when I can finally end the long saga of covid-19 blogs, posts, and anything else related to the topic. That is, of course, until something new ramps up again. But … Continue reading The Last Treatise of Covid-19: 4 Years to the Day of My First Post on the Topic
Who are the Neocosmopolitans? Defining this Group of Modern-Day Existentialists
In September of 2021, I wrote about the errors of neo-cosmopolitanism concerning covid and the withdrawal from Afghanistan. In that article, I use the words of New York Times columnist Ross Douthat to describe the climate of neo-cosmopolitanism as a feeling that promotes a “hegemonic order coalescing around the exotic foods and different spiritualities that … Continue reading Who are the Neocosmopolitans? Defining this Group of Modern-Day Existentialists
College and University Comeuppance, Further Discussion on the Federal Cap of International Student Visas in Canada
I would like to open with a podcast called The Decibel produced by the Globe and Mail to provide basic information about international students and the federal cap on international student visas in Canada. Use this as a primer for the rest of the article. This podcast offers good information about how this process came … Continue reading College and University Comeuppance, Further Discussion on the Federal Cap of International Student Visas in Canada
Here is What I Took Away from Watching Mainstream Media During the Iowa Caucus of 2024
I was away from home, meaning I was subject to whatever news channel was offered at the hotel I was staying at. Unfortunately, that channel was CNN. I watched the coverage from early on – which started as a complete fawning over Nikki Haley to the point CNN anchors were convinced she was going to … Continue reading Here is What I Took Away from Watching Mainstream Media During the Iowa Caucus of 2024
A Deeper Understanding of Our Societal Divide Beyond Simple Socio-Political or Socio-Economic Narratives.
Can we all agree that there is a societal divide happening? I would say there is, even though you might not see it on a day-to-day basis. I mean, I got a coffee today and no one asked me what my political views are – or what I think about LGBTQIA+ people. Does this make … Continue reading A Deeper Understanding of Our Societal Divide Beyond Simple Socio-Political or Socio-Economic Narratives.
We are Seeing Infantilization All Around Us, and Its Negative Impact on Society.
“More students seemed to be in agreement with administrators that they were unsafe, that many aspects of students’ lives needed to be carefully regulated by adults, and that it was far better to overreact to potential risks and threats than to underreact. In this way, campus administrators – usually with the best intentions – were … Continue reading We are Seeing Infantilization All Around Us, and Its Negative Impact on Society.
