1. The cult of climate change. Not everyone agrees with the notion of the end of the world is nigh and that CO2 is the great Satan.
Yet it is in fact not illegal to have a bonfire, drive a car, take a plane ride, or fart in the wind. This is not an example of being told how to live your life.
2. They want to outlaw heating your house with natural gas.
It is not illegal to heat your home with any fossil fuel. “They” want a reduction in fossil fuel use to create less pollution. That is not not an example of being told how to live your life.
3. They want to outlaw or at least tax to oblivion various vehicle types (pickup trucks for example) to the point where they are unaffordable.
Again… “They want to” is a stretch. When it happens, we can talk.
4. Hostility toward capitalism and the free market and all the shit that comes from that.
Not hostility toward Capitalism at all. Hostility towards corruption of Capitalism. Capitalism in its purest form, nobody could argue with. Somebody produces something that people need, and sells it in a free market. Fucking awesome. A guys owns a bank, and lends out his money… if he does well, he can buy a vacation home. If he does poor, he can lose his own home. What a great system.
Yet today the guys running the bank do not own it. It is not their money. They can run it into the ground, and still make a massive bonus. (And somebody else will inevitably lose their home).
And somehow it became perfectly legal for a venture Capitalist to buy my dads old factory and take all the pension money for himself.
If that is the Capitalism you are defending, then we see the world different. Again, nobody’s opinion on socialism is stopping you from doing anything in life. You are free to live your life as you see fit even if tree huggers exist.
Besides, Capitalism ended when we adopted the concept of Central Banks.
5. Cancel culture. So many examples of outraged social justice warriors wanting to ruin people for simply expressing their opinions. Take for example the backlash against author JK Rowling.
There was backlash against a statement she made…. That is true. Did she have to change the way she lived her life? Oh…. But book sales. Is that not the free market? Or can I not buy a copy of Harry Potter on Amazon? Let me check…. No, it’s there.
6. Giving away money to special interest groups like it grows on trees. Example 40 billion dollars given to the natives who claim that the welfare system has failed them.
Neither Liberal nor Conservative. More of a legal matter. Again, does it stop you from buying tea in China? No. Not liking something is different than being told you can’t do something else.
7. Bill C-16 and the limiting of free speech. For example pronouns and forcing the populace to adopt the usage of silly pronouns and prosecuting those who do not agree.
This one I agree with you on. The Gov’t is forcing you to do something. Does it change your life? Not really…
However…. Be careful what you wish for. I know it sounds reasonable that Dr Jordan Peterson champions the fact that he should have the freedom to decide whether to call someone Mr or Mrs. If he goes to court, does he have a choice in how he addresses the Judge? “Your Honour”. Or can he call a male Judge “bitch”? I mean rights and everything. Why should he, or anyone be forced to show some basic respect?
It must be a real hardship on you have to refer to people as “he” or “she”. Mind you, I suppose I could refer to you as “Ms Snowflake”. ??? (Of course that is ridiculous. I don’t have the right to pick peoples titles, sir names, or honours, whether I agree with monarchy existing or not)
8. Forced accommodation of religious practices. Example, allowing Muslims to have prayer spaces in public schools in Toronto. Public infrastructure should never be for the use of any religious practices.
Has no baring on you. Nobody is making you pray in a public space. It does not affect how you live your life.
Not liking something (which you have every right) is different than being told how to live your life.
9. Religious accommodation as a whole.
10. Forcing the Defunding of the police. Just insanity.
What police departments have actually been defunded?
Most of this list you provided is not your life being affected at all. If you don’t green technology, then don’t buy it. If you do not want to pray to a higher power… then don’t.
However, stopping me from praying, or investing in new technology is just you doing what you accuse Liberals of doing.
As for the Socialism vs Capitalism concepts. That is the cost of democracy. Obscene ceo pay, the theft of wages, pensions, a perverse risk reward system, and friendly politicians who will craft laws in exchange for funding and a good job out of politics has been forced upon some of us who don’t like it. That is neither right left. Right and Left at its core are Small Gov’t and little Spending vs More oversight and higher investment in government institutions. All the rest is hype. Jesus was not in a political party. That was Buddha.
