There are many cultures around the world that are suppressed by majoritarianism. They have to face challenges like forced assimilation, language discrimination and refusal to acknowledgement of their unique identity. In fact, many cultures have been identified by UNESCO, that will soon cease to exist - either that they’re vulnerable, or completely extinct. How do you, as a minority, feel, knowing that your entire identity will cease to exist in a few decades? Do you have a sense of camaraderie towards other minorities from other parts of the world, say, the Ainu people, or the Brahui pastoralist?

    Almost all cultures disappear within a century or two. Do you think Canada is anything like it was 200 years ago? Shit, it’s probably not even what it was like 50 years ago.

    45 years ago the US overwhelmingly voted Reagan into office. That asscunt would get so fucking rejected in primaries now for being a “RINO” based on his gun control policies alone. Things change. Everything changes. When I was a kid it was totally fine to run around with a Southern Loser Flag on your shirt. Should that culture return? Some people think so.

    You can either be a troglodytic conservative dingus or you can contribute to the new culture and a better tomorrow.

      Tell me you’re Canadian without telling me you’re Canadian.
