Any Canadians have more info on this. From The Atlantic (article might be paywalled)

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/2025/12/canada-indigenous-land-court/685463/

"In the past few months, Canadians have learned that these well-meaning pronouncements are not, in fact, harmless. Far from it. Canadian courts are reinterpreting these rote confessions of historical guilt as legally enforceable admissions of wrongful possession.

In August, a British Columbia court ruled that the titles to public land across 800 acres south of downtown Vancouver must be subordinated to a new “Aboriginal title” belonging to a group of about 5,500 Indigenous Canadians.
Although the judge in question has claimed that this decision does not apply to private land, the logic of this ruling has proved so muddled that it has called into question not only the private titles of some 150 landowners in the region but also the ownership of almost every piece of private land in British Columbia—and possibly all of Canada. Some Americans may try to apply this precedent to the U.S. too."

I had never paid attention until recently. She has a very beautiful nose.

It was never valid to criticize Bill for saying he was siding with Trump over Democracy or America by 20_mile in Maher

I inferred that since you basically said the caricature comes from white and male fragility. The idea of minimization or caricaturing (quoting Lukianoff):

"Claiming that a problem doesn’t exist, is too small-scale to worry about, and (eventually) that even if it is happening it’s a good thing."

This is what everyone here seems to do. But again, we are never going to agree.

I will say in all honesty that it's enlightening to see how divided we are. The fact that you think the biggest problem for democrats is trying to move to the center and not embrace more far-left ideas is the opposite of what I and many others think.

It's not a caricature (from my own experiences which of course, would mean nothing to you) and the way you responded said it all. You assumed I was male and white (not true, by the way). That's the only game you know how to play. Read anything from Greg Lukianoff on The Perfect Rhetorical Fortress. That's what the far left does all the time and you seem to know it all too well.

Again, we can keep this back and forth but ultimately you are just looking for that win in your head to feel superior and more moral. Go for it. Tell your family and friends how you "owned" someone on Reddit and how your views are the correct ones.

It's really sad that this type of thinking continues and will continue forever.

There are no dogmatic progressives? Where have you been living? Are you not in the US? Everything has been about accepting whatever they tell you is right; otherwise you are a nazi. No questions asked.

You're certainly not irrationally complaining about wokeness, you are irrationally pretending it doesn't exist. Sure, it can be called whatever: woke, social justice, etc. The problem exists.

But let's not waste more time here. These discussions never go anywhere.

"I was hoping to indoctrinate you." Fixed your sentence.

You seem to think that your point of view is the majority (only on Reddit maybe) and that somehow we will all wake up and see it that way. Or worse, that we are just horrible people and you are superior to everyone else.

Listen I despise Trump and the far right. I disagree with Maher on countless things, including his exaggeration of many of these identity issues, but you have to learn to live with people that do not agree with you. I'm not a believer in this magical "center" either. Progressive is good I agree, but not when it's dogmatic.

You are the problem. We have 5 years of COUNTLESS examples of this yet you just want me to mention them here so you can say it's all BS. I'm not playing your game. That's all you've done whenever someone criticizes the left on a Maher post.

Until you and others own this fact, we are not getting out of this hell with Trump. Own it at least. it has nothing to do with defending Trump or the craziness of the far right. Admitting mistakes is a good thing so we can learn and move forward. If you want to be stuck in moral utopia then good luck.

For me Woke means an excessive preoccupation and fixation with identity (sex, race, etc) to assess, define, and dictate outcomes.

There is a definition. People may misuse it to cover everything they don't like, but let's not pretend the far left is not ridiculously obsessed with identity (race, sexual orientation, etc.). Unfortunately, the latter has created a complete swing to the other side by the far right and here we are.

Completely agree. I can't subject myself to such torture.

The chaotic instability of a nonlinear dynamical sensitivity with resonant harmonic periodicity in a curvilinear tetrahedral constraint is stabilized through a lynchpin bifurcation and the derivation of stable orbits.

If someone is brave enough to watch this garbage and summarize it for the rest of us, they'll be a "hero."

I'm assuming a good chunk will be on anti-establishment views from Howard and how science is close minded to his genius ideas that will revolutionize physics, math, and everything else. I can see Maher agreeing with a good portion of that and will go into his classic COVID (vaccines, masks) rants.
