“Save the Children” has been considered the cry of people that can’t put forth a reasonable argument for the thing they want for decades. Right up there with the people that like exclaiming “muh rights” and then either complain about something that’s never been a right, or immediately following up by trying to remove other people’s rights. I feel like using “save the children”(or similar variations) is a pretty good indication that I’m not going to agree with most of what follows.
Ah, yes. The math agenda. The deadliest of all the agendas. He who masters it, masters the universe.
As depressing as it sounds, I think it might be time to add a new entry to possible Drake Equation solutions:
"Stupid people stuck in a loop of hatred, bigotry and scientific denial kept society from moving forward fast enough to prevent destruction by climate change, conflict or lack of resources." And that's why we haven't seen any evidence of alien life. But societal evolution always follows that path.
These people are literally a herd of cats in a room with a laser pointer pointed at a disco globe.
My mother is a conspiracy theory sucker. Being isolated during the pandemic with her idiot boyfriend literally spun her around from being a compassionate intelligent woman who ran her own successful business for over a decade to literally being afraid of everything and everyone.
The convoy's private Facebook group, which coun nearly 300 members, indicates that it is focused on issues like pedophilia, child trafficking, grooming and indoctrination.
Funny, they NEVER protest against churches. Why is that?
“Get up off your god damned couch and show some passion for this country and some passion for the children that don’t have a voice, they get kidnapped, thrown in a railcar,” McDavid told viewers of one recent TikTok video, adding that children are being “tortured, hunted down like animals by – not the elites – by the degenerates on horseback.”
Oh man, I thought we outlawed organized small children hunts. Those bourgeoise snobs in their red coats and riding britches.
Also, where would one get a railcar of children. Is that what the "Dark Web" is for?
Who the fuck is "kidnapping kids and putting them in railcars"... Rail in Canada is total shit lmfao, these people need so much mental health help.
So cute of them to pretend that they give a fuck about kids or anyone outside their ridiculous worldview.
Get your showers ready, Toronto. There's more than 18 cowboys a-coming.
Ram Ranch Resistance!
I wouldn't be surprised if they also started going off about the "round earth agenda" or something like that. These dudes are absolutely braindead.
If it wasn’t actually problematic it would be fascinating. It’s like watching a documentary about a cult.
I've always found it funny that the reason why science fiction and fantasy villains are almost always such lackluster characters is because science fiction and fantasy writers have to stick within the realm of plausibility whereas real life villains are not hampered by such trivialities.
Your sci-fi villain has to have a tragic backstory where he's using the power of the universe killing machine to bring back his dead girlfriend or something.
In contrast, your real life villain is organizing a civil war militia to protect himself from enemies that he imagines existing somewhere even though he has no proof whatsoever, and all over the Western world people are proudly following these nut bags and even buying the merch.
I already know the trans agenda is to let trans soldiers fight, but what's the math agenda? I want in.
The "Math Agenda" boils down to the idea that every subject is supposedly being used to push the LGBT agenda.
This is what they are freaking out about:

And this is them freaking out about it:

Sounds fun. I do wonder what math they'll go into. As a queer person who nebulously loves math, I can see how normal conversations could be hijacked and turned into a math discussion.
Maybe that's what this will be: a program designed to pull queer teenagers together into a safe space where they can explore different areas of math guided by math pedagogy professionals. This might mean not always going the algebra-geometry-calculus direction, but rather maybe some fun probability stuff, graph theory, the traveling salesperson problem, the Towers of Hanoi, things in discrete math that could be fun to talk about.
I can’t believe you’re just peddling this sick filth in public! Just openly embracing pedagogy and excusing the “math-attracted persons” movement! What is our country coming to?!?!!!!???!!
The truly terrifying thing is that ANY teacher could be a pedagogue!
In my humble opinion, all of them should be!
If people like you had their way the world would be full of intellectual types
lewd joke
I don't know about the country, but I'm cumming to math ;)
The amount of times I've needed to explain that pederast and pedagogue are not the same isn't 0, but it is less than 3
These people have never been smart. 22 years ago a mob of them attacked a pediatrician's home because they didn't know "pediatrician" and "paedophile" meant different things.

Had to share a work van with one of these sort for work. I would get an hour of details on how math is just "a trick to make people believe certain things"
Also "Jews are from Saturn"
And "the chemtrails are full of microchips"
There is literally nothing you can do to sway any of their beliefs, because basic reason and logic are the enemy.
Rather, maybe we need to subvert their base instincts in a way they can turn them towards logic despite their preconceptions and inability to process basic information. Kind of like the mobile game market or unethical media companies which have free reign to influence these people for malicious self gain.
The issue is that ethical people are too upstanding to use such subversive means, which means they will ultimately lose out in our current socio-economic ecosystem
I think smart people need to fight evil with the same tools used by evil, until such tools are invalidated.
Their grievances are a Gish Gallop.
Their entire worldview is an anxiety buffet; they've got something for everyone, all they need to bring is unmanaged fear
I think their entire world view is based on projection. "I'm thinking about doing xyz so THEY must also be doing xyz." Every accusation is an admission. They imagine scenarios of drag queens molesting children so they think that drag queens must be molesting children. They imagine queer youth orgies at queer math camp so there must be queer youth orgies at queer math camp. They're angry about things that are only happening inside their own heads.
