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.
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.
