One of the things I think we've lost as a society by moving away from community child raising is the idea that no, you don't always know what's best for your child. I'm not saying people shouldn't respect other parents' methods or worse, undermine them, but no parent is infallible. Sometimes you are making real mistakes and sometimes, people with an outside view need to respectfully call you out on it.

Sometimes you are being too harsh. Sometimes you are not harsh enough (in a structured sense). Sometimes you don't know what you're doing and that's okay. Everybody needs different things. But sometimes you are doing it wrong and people need to point it out.

Sure, you may know your kid better than another person (though this isn't necessarily true). But you may not always know what your kid needs, but someone else might.

IDK, I just think the rise of the ideology that parents are infallible authorities on their families and how to raise them has been a detrimental attitude overall.

Twice now I have seen people express jealousy towards the Canadian and Australian elections. Speaking as a Canadian, this is not cute or funny.

I can't speak for Australia, but you need to know that the ONLY reason the centralist Liberals won is because Trump threatened our sovereignty and tried to interfere in our election. (Which he's now gloating over.)

Before that? Conservatives were slated for a practically guaranteed win. We NARROWLY escaped a very real future where our own Trumpian fascist pig (Poilievre) could have been elected PM. I cannot overstate ENOUGH just how much we dodged that bullet.

And frankly: Liberals are centralist at best with their own share of right-wing policies. Many of us had to "hold our noses" and vote Liberal just to keep Cons out because they were the only party with a decent shot at beating them. And unless we ever get electoral reform (which will never happen), this is not gonna change. The actual (so-called) leftist party incurred heavy losses this election. We Canadian leftists aren't in a good spot and still have to keep fighting.

I am so tired of people treating my country's politics as a joke. It's always "Canada is the nice Liberal paradise, with healthcare!". As if Cons haven't been trying to privatize everything and tear down our constitution. As if the western provinces aren't falling into alt-right ideology and demanding to separate. As if we aren't also guilty of Indigenous genocide and other human rights abuses (that many of us still refuse to reckon with). Among a whole host of other issues and historic shames.

You want to comment on Canadian politics? Then ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION and LISTEN to us. At the very least stop making generalizations about our politics and history. No, we're not in fact "better than the US". We never were.

I get it, the envy is natural and I am entirely with you in that I am terrified at what Trump is doing to the US. You also NEED to realize our election was ENTIRELY circumstantial and VERY easily could have gone an entirely different direction. This is not something to be envious over.

Unemployed Person: "No one will hire me because of my tattoos and my drug use."

Conservatives: "That's your own fault. They can hire whoever they want. It's your duty to make yourself employable."

Unemployed Person: "No one will hire me because I didn't get the covid vaccine."

Conservatives: "THAT'S THE EPITOME OF INJUSTICE! YOUR PLACE OF WORK HAS NO RIGHT TO DICTATE WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY!"
