Westlock, Alberta is becoming a far-right culture war battleground after local youths win unanimous vote in support of rainbow crosswalk
When you allow far right attitudes to grow … they are like weeds that start appearing everywhere.
My general rule of thumb is … if one’s ideals and beliefs start affecting the lives of others … then their beliefs are not about them, they believe in wanting to control the lives of others.
It’s the fear of change … they enjoyed living in a world where they felt like they were at the top and that they could say, treat and act in certain negative ways towards ‘others’ that they considered lower or lesser than them.
The world is changing and everyone is beginning to realize that we all just want to equally enjoy life as we want without interfering with others.
Conservatives who feel that they are above everyone else are shaking at the knees thinking that they are actually losing their place in the world … when in reality, no one really cared about what they thought in the first place.
And the hopeful thing about that is that society as a whole is changing towards that direction. The thing we all have to keep in mind is that this is a very very gradual change and one that will come with a lot of growing pains. We are making our world one step better in this generation … it’s a small step but still a step … the generation after us will hopefully take another step forward.
Think of what people had to live with 50 years ago … 100 years ago … all the conservative, backward ways of thought and belief back then … we have progressed, as much as it doesn’t look like it, we have progressed and continue to do so. The fact that you are thinking about it, addressing it and debating is a continued sign of progress. Stay well my friend.
