Re: Canada's Neoliberal Transformation
So what then? There is nothing here that needs attention?
Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.

No one said that.
If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.

Re: Canada's Neoliberal Transformation
You're not saying much of anything besides criticizing my position. Is that all you have ?

Re: Canada's Neoliberal Transformation
That's what I "have" that is on topic. (It's interesting to me when folk on a discussion forum set out their position on a topic, and then have a problem with those who critique that position.)

Re: Canada's Neoliberal Transformation
I just wondered if you had an opinion of your own on the topic. I've traditionally held that criticism without counterpoint adds little to a discussion.
There is certainly no shortage of information available on neo-liberalism in general, and in Canada specifically.

Re: Canada's Neoliberal Transformation
I agree, there is no shortage - plenty of info out there. I gave you my opinion about the variety of information available back in my first post in this thread, when I suggested that anyone genuinely interested in neoliberalism in Canada should take a much broader view than the narrow one you had provided.fluffy wrote: ↑Jul 27th, 2021, 11:25 amI just wondered if you had an opinion of your own on the topic.

Later in the thread, I gave my opinion of the TED Talk you provided to help us see what you seemed to think we should all agree to, vis a vis this topic. My opinion is that what he is doing isn't something we should agree with or support. So it seems to me you aren't actually wondering if I have an opinion on the topic - rather, my opinions on the topic are not the opinions you are looking for.

Re: Canada's Neoliberal Transformation
No I'm sure they are just suggestions on the various topic on neoliberalism, there is nothing about a personal opinion on neoliberalism. So far it seems to me a one side criticism of someone else's view on neoliberalism. It's not much of a discussion if it's all one sided criticism without someone else being able to counter claim the other persons opinion.........see how a truthful and honest engagement of a topic should go?rustled wrote: ↑Jul 27th, 2021, 11:42 amI agree, there is no shortage - plenty of info out there.
