Juno News - Fallout from the NDP convention

00:00:00.000 thing was just kind of sad but it was also like very juvenile like it was um I know many of these

00:00:05.380 speakers didn't even get to the substance of whatever it is they were purporting to talk about

00:00:09.760 like this the the trans person who was talking about how racialized he is and how intersectional

00:00:16.320 he is he he talked a lot about how he resented the fact that an actual woman was allowed to talk

00:00:21.300 before him and he said you know I have all this intersectional lived experience I come from

00:00:25.440 Alberta where you know trans people are being oppressed and whatnot but he like never got to

00:00:30.800 the actual substance of what he got to the mic to talk about he just went there to fetch about how

00:00:35.840 other people were getting more attention than he was and it seemed like there was a lot of that

00:00:40.040 so there's something very narcissistic about it and juvenile but you know sometimes people say

00:00:46.820 well why why does it you know the rest of the world is rejecting a lot of this stuff it's it's

00:00:51.000 a subject of satire why is it you know certain ecosystems in canada why is this happening

00:00:55.920 and a lot of it is just organizational behavior is that the andp a lot of the positions of power

00:01:01.820 a lot of like the local writing associations you know the numerous committees and whatnot that

00:01:08.100 that define every organization of that size over the last decade have been taken over by people

00:01:13.540 who like this is what they live for this is their thing this is their cause this is the reason

00:01:18.100 anybody pays attention to them this is the reason they have any social media presence it's all they

00:01:22.780 talk about
