    try to imagine being in a castle surrounded on all sides by enemies who actively hate you

    and your suggestion is to open the gates

      Did you build a castle because they hated you or do they hate you because you built a castle. In the latter case opening the gate slowly might be a good idea.

      I have never been to Quebec or to Canada. I am just generally opposed to creating new countries. We feel very different but we are not. We are all humans and we have an innate tendency to build groups. But we are not apes in caves anymore. We are thinking complex beings. But we are also very prone to letting people exploit the part in our brain that wants to be part of a group.

      I don’t want to deny any struggles that people have in Quebec and I don’t condone any harassment against people. Still from the outside it feels needlessly divisive to speak French in a predominantly English speaking Country on a predominantly English and Spanish speaking continent. Yes it’s cultural. No I don’t understand that argument.
