Props for letting people 👏 comment, usually this type of woke CBC propaganda has its comments disabled because you can't handle people disagreeing with the negative. Congratulations👏
They usually disable comments when someone non-white is on screen. Because when they don't disable comments, you hear the absolute worst words being commented. I think the 'disabling comments' comes alot from comments like yours that try and argue 'propaganda', but then some dwell into pretty racist comments and suggestions.
You should take a look at a cbc video that stars a non-white person, as soon as it's posted. You'll unfortunately see lots of unwarranted harrassment. I can get someone arguing it's propaganda, but seriously no need to verbally harass some intern at cbc.
This was great. 3 minutes, easy to connect with, and some great ideas how we can make things better. I'm glad I watched it - it confirmed that I'm doing some things right and gave me some ideas on what else I can do. One thing - with donating socks, if you're buying some try to find the ones with natural fibres. They don't cost much, if anything, more and they both last longer and stay cleaner than synthetics.
@@someonewhoisnotretarded3708 Lol Sure pal you got it all figured out. Someone smarter than me would definitely use the screen name "Someone Who Is Not Retarded."
Am shocked there's a comment section... And while there still is, I wanna take this opportunity to try and start more nuanced discussion on the topic of privilege. There's some obvious truth to it, you get treated different based on how you look, and there are pros and cons depending on that. But too often on far left media you only ever hear a very one sided conversation around privilege. Take for example female privilege, you need look no further than the "women are wonderful" phenomenon documented in social psychology. Being born male is a high risk high reward strategy, you win big, you loose big, you can rise to be a fortune 500 CEO or fall to being a homeless street urchin. Sure you don't get taken as intellectually seriously, but neither are you taken seriously as a threat to society and therefor less likely to be charged as harshly (if at all) for the same crime committed by a man.
You raise some valid points, I just completely disagree about female privellege. I would like to give my perspective but I don't have any personal stakes outside of my female friends/family having been through a lot of harrassment all their lives soley for being female. I will say that if you have some female friends, have an open talk with them about their experiences as a woman. You'll (hopefully not) be shocked how many women experience forms of harrassment more than once. But once again, hopefully it isn't the case.
Also I'm not so sure Canada is anywhere near 'far left' like you said. I'd barely even say we're leftwing at all. Trudeau is as moderate as they come. Trust me, far leftists want him out just as much as right wingers. Far left would resemble actual communism and not a capitalist constitutional monarchical government. Maybe it would be farther if a Green party member were in power.
@Martina “Male privilege be like” -78% of suicides are men -68% of homeless are men -93% of prison inmates are men -80% of murder victims are men -98% of military casualties are men -92% of workplace fatalities are men -66% of alcoholics are men Sources:CDC,NHC, Bureau of prisons, psychology today,CSO
@Martina My apologies for the late reply for whatever reason my main account isn't able to comment on a number of channels (could be shadow banning in some cases I know it can't be), and only got a notification from somebody else replying When compared to men, yes indeed women are seen in a rosier light, even despite being seen as catty. Which y'all are (by you're own workplace self reporting), and we likely would be too if their wasn't an instinctual knowledge of the possibility of a serious violent altercation when interacting with fellow men). Whether or not women commit more crime than men, doesn't make them any less privileged than a man would be when sat in front of a judge. No different really than saying Blacks get treated worse by the cops regardless because they're more violent on average, *which we are,* (the Black-White disparity in violent crime is equal to that of the violent crime disparity between men & women), but that doesn't make White people any less fortunate when interacting with them (it's nuanced tho, if it's a violent encounter Whites actually fare worse against the police because they don't riot after one of their own is killed by the cops, but even in civil encounters we're more likely to get assaulted by police). Lastly in regards to how seriously women are taken intellectually; yea they aren't (studies show scientific peer review is gender biased when they change the names of the paper's author, the paper is perceived differently), feminism gets that right (women all know this, that's why female CEOs intentionally deepen their voice). This might come as a surprise because of how venerated, female achievements in STEM fields are (achievements anywhere really), but in fact this is evidence of just how subconsciously dismissive we are of women's mental abilities. We're so impressed by women's achievements because on a primal lizard brain level we expect nothing more from them than to server as infant incubators, it's almost like we're cheering for a circus animal doing tricks. You hear this all the time from FtM trans guys who all the sudden notice nobody cares about their capabilities unless they are compete and against other men and you have to win, and if you can't you're a loser (there's a reason why almost all who regret going trans are FtM...). Having all that, men are still more intelligent than women both on average and in the outliers (we can disscuss the matter further if you like, but this reply was already long enough), but that doesn't mean that any given women's contribution to science is any less credible or valuable.
@@jeb1691 My apologies for the late reply for whatever reason my main account isn't able to comment on a number of channels (could be shadow banning in some cases I know it can't be), and only got a notification from somebody else replying. Briefly regarding where Canada falls on the political spectrum, it depends in the dimension of politics we're talking about. Economically I don't even know what the West, it feels like we have the worst of both worlds, capitalism for the poor & communism for the rich. As far as social politics goes, whether or not the Liberal government is socially far-left, they certainly have no qualms in pandering to them on CBC any different than Trump had pandering to the far-right. But back to the question of female privilege, you *"completely"* disagree? There is *no* area a in life where women are obviously better off than than men? I really want to pose this to you as an actual question, rather than just a rhetorical one, I really wanna hear your answer. Too often I feel *actual* conversation (and I'm not talking about that Steven Crowder "pretend I'm here to have my mind changed BS") is lost among people of differing opinion these days. I think it's pretty clear there are obvious cons than come with being a women (my mother's been sexually assaulted *twice* for heavens sake), but I also see benefits that are pretty hard to miss as well (same with being a guy, has it's ups & downs). But am genuinely interested to hear good faith arguments from people who don't see it that way.
um, can I tell you something. Somebody told me today that I don't understand , and cannot have my own hardships from life because of my gender and colour of skin. I have Privilege that wasn't earned or chosen. It felt like I was being judged without that person first getting to know me as an individual. Is that right?
While we may never fully understand someone's life experience, recognizing privilege is an effort to learn about someone without making 'shameless assumptions' like you said. Clean water, roofs, clothes are all forms of privellege, which is why we take good care of our stuff, not reasons to discard it.
@@ayoaye2276 it is tho it's a HUGE one.. having a roof over my head because I was lucky to be born into the right time and place with the right economical and social resources vs. millions of homeless people that are not as lucky, makes having a roof a privilege.. it's mainly a matter of class privilege so you can call it classism (although you should never view it seperatly from other forms of oppression)
I hope your just as proud not using government services and community resources. Hint... don't drive on roads funded by tax payer's dollars for starter
