Very much so!

A splendid chap indeed

Too true 😢

Same. I still like surrealism and various other types of art and music most right wingers abhor. Still not a Pollock fan but I understand the intent. I guess that's why I retain the classical liberal label despite having many disagreements with that ideology.

Ben should be more famous. He isn't. Ben really goes underdog with his guests. He can be obtuse or acute. You'll never know. He honestly has never failed to bring guests that brighten his listeners. His net is wide. Plus he's different. He should get more press.

yes he is sensible centrist v moderate good man

@@localuser190 ... I have no doubt. Just like 85% of all conservatives these days. I would have put that number at around 95%, just a half a dozen years ago, but the WOKE cult is absolutely driving more and more conservative to harder positions. This is just like EVERYTHING else the cult creates... . "self-fulfilling prophecy"!

Because we are now living in a Maoist era, here in the West.

@@eddysgaming9868 .. The Marxist cult has twisted the liberal / Democratic party into its little pet. They TRULY believe that communism, just has not been done right yet and they are the ones to make it work!

Errrr.... That is probably a sound guess, but I'd say it's worth looking a bit deeper at this guy, the company he keeps and the ideas in that sphere. My estimation is that your guess is wrong.

Cheers - I'll check that out

I highly recommend a binge session of "the complete Evergreen story".

Nothing wrong with the far right though

Fine!

Hi Deborah🌹🌹 How are you doing?

@🧺... I was called for jury duty in April 2020. The notice said masks were required in the court building. I called the county clerk and asked for a postponement of service, as I was not willing to wear a Covid mask. She extended my call for 6 mo. in "hopes" that the mandates would be over by then. Well, as we all learned... they were not! Turns out, that my extension was only 3 months, so I called again. Spoke to same lady and re-iterated my concern. She told me [essentially...] "Tough titty, you have to wear a mask". . I told her again, that while I am sorry, this is NOT negotiable. I will show up at the court building and when the guards don't let me in, the court will need to find me in contempt, so come to my home and arrest me. I further said, that they would have to kick in my door and drag me away, but will STILL not wear a mask. I will not wear a mask to speak to a judge, nor will I wear one if put in jail. Most of this conversation actually happened via e-mail, but over the course of several, I made all the above points quite clear. I told her that this was a hill I was willing to die on and again... not negotiable. She said that a judge would have to make a ruling, so I said .."fine. Let me know what happens". She then forwarded ALL of my emails to the judge. . Over the course of the next 4 weeks (my jury duty appearance was in like 5 weeks), I called a number of times and she said no word yet. By the last week, I had made arrangements with my brother to drive me to the courthouse, so that if I was arrested, my car would not be stuck in the parking lot and need to get towed. I never did hear from the judge, so I made that "after 5:00 PM call" the night before... and was excused. . I am sure the judge was not willing to deal with the attention of throwing me in jail and watching me raise all holy hell over mandates, so excused me 😸

@@NinjaKittyBonks Wow. That's quite a story, kitty. You didn't bend the knee. Such a brave kitty. 💜 I'm very sad now. So, I think I'm going to lay down for a bit. But have a scritch on me.

@@helenablavatsky9136 ... Why sad, lil' bear 🐻The Kitty sends ❤to you: i.pinimg.com/originals/42/f7/15/42f71588b5f6d8bc4bb0ffcea32707b2.jpg

Nice work. Way to stand your ground. I have firm resolve to not comply to masking when the next round comes.@@NinjaKittyBonks

@@jonschmitt232 .... TY 🐈Being retired prior to 2020, I had a MASSIVE advantage to avoiding masking. That said, had I a job or something that required it or the jab, It would have needed to be ABSOLUTELY CATASTROPHIC to my life / family, in order to comply. The hypocrisy of mask usage in one place, while not in another or wearing one INTO a restaurant, but not once you sit down, was blatantly PROOF that it was all about virtue signalling and especially... _control_ ! . I despise being manipulated and the entire thing was all about getting people to comply.... makes me SICK, just to think about it all. To your follow up point, there is no question there was a push to go round 2, and it is possible they may push again, but WAY more people are just not gonna do that again. Some clearly will, as probably 3% have NEVER opted to stop wearing a mask. . Hell, not two days ago, I was walking to the grocery store and waiting for the crosswalk light and what did I see...? A late 20's early 30's dude... driving a Prius alone... MASKED! What a F'ing TOOL that guy! . Just goes to show why we call the leftist a cult, because they LITERALLY are!

Being on the right, Gio must have the reverse Canadian Girlfriend.

I didn't know any of that either

All i know about french Canadians is that the ones I meet tend to be insufferable (no offense to you personally)

"go west young man, and grow with the country." Was a famous 19th century quote made by a New York newspaper editor. Perhaps your French frontier spirit is leading you a little off track, or maybe it is all Anglo propaganda.

English Canadian intellectuals before WW2 knew all of this. It was the victory of Peason in 63 and the Americanization of the English Canadian elite (via Harvard) that severed EC intellectuals from their organic past and organic perspective, a perspective that included the FC point of view if not FC interests.

Well, said! If people do any research into the political or ideological direction of Canada particuarly under Trudeau Sr. they will find "Harvard" all over it.@@NorthernObserver

Based, and you should say it more. I'm tired of that rhetoric. You could say most art is for the sake of beauty, but these people want the beautiful to be political.

Hamilton. It not his fault. Will overcome.

I guess you'd have to read his writings for that

Some guys can't make a simple assertion without qualifying it twelve different ways.

What's it with rando commenters throwing around the term "pseudo intellectual" like insecure midwits?

Pseudo? All his many strings of thought are that, thoughtful.
