What's this?

Have you ever engaged with the literature of those -isms, or the 'experts'

pimping these views? Don't understand why the Canadian legislation would constitute a non-sequitur, as comparable bills have been introduced (and I think even passed, NYC?) on the local level in the US. If they haven't yet, the underlying ideology carries significant weight in politics and has informed a lot of policy currently in place, along with campaign strategy and the national debate. And it is indeed (even if FOX dolts are playing it up) intellectually terrorizing and disabling the youth of today, no hyperbole.

Maybe that was a diatribe; I'd prefer to call it polemic with the sincere intent to shake you from your blissful slumber. I'm not intending to be a low-rent Tucker Carlson here, and I don't think "p.c." is an explanation for everything wrong with the world. I will tell you, as a self-proclaimed "peace and love" guy you don't want to defend this rancid, life and science denying sore on the ass of humanity, this shit stain on the dirty diaper of clear thinking. It's that bad.

I don't blame you if you don't have the bandwidth or time to seriously engage with this, but it's time for the smelling salts on the left. Intelligent, respectable, serious, minority, Obama-voting academics are starting to realize it's time to take out the trash.
