Often Progressives seem to park themselves on the "Left Pole." Every point is to the the right of the Left Pole.

The far-right is the enemy of liberalism, standing for authoritarian government and state control of the economy, limitations on freedom and a reduction of rights, institutionalised political favouritism for a self-declared nominated group, a disregard of widely accepted social mores in favour of imagined traditions, and the ideological subversion of reality.

This is a problem.

Far right white supremacy.

But let's complain about 'leftists' caring about stressed students by handing out colouring books.

It amazes me right-wing idiots will whine about what the kids are at like a bunch of cantankerous old bastards but don't worry about a corrupt bunch of robber barons taking their country and leaving the poor to die.

What am I talking about now? Trump'care'.

Oh, and remember Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicaid? 800 million dollars, baby.

Now do you feel like a hoodwinked rube? No. Of course not. If you had brains and integrity you wouldn't be a Trump supporters. Let's face it, these gombeens are getting arse-raped and loving it.

Offensive statement. Some people like being ass-raped for completely valid reasons and don't want to be compared with Trump supporters.

Carleton University removes scales from their gym, because.... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ca ... -1.4021378 The paper quotes one student as saying, "Scales are very triggering" for people with eating disorders.

They recommend measuring "girth" instead. LOL. But, shouldn't they logically remove tape measures from the gym too...because, well, girth is not a good indicator of overall health either, just as weight is not. They should also remove mirrors, too, because appearance is not a good indicator of overall health either.

Heck, they should remove workout equipment from the gym, since strength and stamina are not really good indicators of overall health, and people who can't lift as much or as many times as other people might feel bad about the fact that they are weaker or have less stamina.

I wonder if Carleton has prohibited grunting while lifting weights too. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/18/nyregion/18grunt.html

This is all very problematic.

This is pretty funny, apparently there are now "woke misogynists". I'll admit it was a bit hard to understand, it's written in intersectional jargon that is difficult to translate into ordinary, anti-feminist, woman-hating English.

My favorite bit
We care about the men in our lives, so we are happy to explain what they’ve done wrong.
Lol. Evidently Mrs. Lak is a woke, intersectional feminist, because she is also happy to tell me what I've done wrong.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
