Jeremy Carl couldn’t answer the question about how he defines white culture because he doesn’t want to live in fear for his life and for his family’s life. All of this insane prattle about fuzzy boundaries and complex definitions that the Right has been putting out for days now is extremely dishonest.
Carl is simply scared. Like everybody is of this subject. And instead of at least vanquishing the fear enough to point this out, we engage in a week of discussions of whether there is a clear definition of a sandwich. As if defining a sandwich led to the same devastating consequences as using the expression “white people” outside of an entirely negative context.

Hmmm, Kid, far wiser to use the term Western culture, an amalgam of inputs from Graeco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, on the Norse-Germanic Aithing. Using the term “White” simply provides predictable woke arseholes an effective tool to attack what has clearly been the best form of government to date.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. Everybody is terrified.

Been mulling this one over a lot lately. I still don’t think “White” culture is key here. I think it’s Christian culture.
But we are creeping up on time to start explicitly educating the kids about these important cultural differences, so they don’t get mugged by reality. Our neighbors had their grandkids over yesterday. Unsupervised preschool age boy wandered into our yard, grabbed my kid’s (large ride-on) toy. I wasn’t about to make a stink with the neighbor about it: kiddo’s too big for that toy, we got it for five bucks at a secondhand shop, and it’s verging on brittle-plastic age anyway. Sat back and observed. Kids noticed, went outside to ponder… and as soon as they showed up the kid was magically no longer unsupervised: his mom materialized, yelled at him, toy was returned. And then the kid turned up in our yard four more times and made attempts at the same toy, as well as waterguns in the carport.
My kiddos are mystified and amused. I’m not. That’s either some kind of developmental problem where a kid who looks about four lacks the mental capacity and self-control for basic things like “don’t go in strangers’ yards” and “don’t take toys without asking” and is dangerously neglected to the point where even after he’s escaped the yard twice and it is now after dark, still nobody is watching him and he continues escaping… OR (and tbh this seems more likely) this child is growing up in a cultural context where unattended toys are fair game, and if nobody catches you *high five*, and there is no such thing as trespassing.
As much as I’d like my kids to grow up in a world where we assess everybody as individuals by their actions… do I need to tell them that certain cultural assumptions, like those witnessed, are statistically more associated with some looks than with others? That galls me. Or do we stick with: “We’re Christians, this is not how we do things, but we’re not the only culture around.”

Sadly, my hunch is that broken rearing is generally a lack of fathering more than anything else. And yes, it does tend to run through generations.

Well, I am not terrified, but aadmittedly increasingly concerned. I do have a question for you, do Quebeckers generally actually not understand that Alberta’s oil “equalization” subsidize other provinces including Quebec?
