Common Ground Conversations

The notion of 'Hate Speech' is gaining traction in our institutions and culture. Making certain speech illegal is a slippery slope. That's not to say it's all or nothing, black or white. But it is to say we must be very, very careful about the limitations we place, as a society, on free speech and what reasonable people with reasonable concerns and objections can and can't say. Eyes open for the professional victims appropriating genuine victimhood to censor those they disagree with. Hope you enjoy the episode.

We have a problem. You thinking deeply and speaking your mind forthrightly is the solution. Do not hold your tongue. The culture is in your hands... Full episode incoming. Conversations from both a pro-Israel and a pro-Palestine event. Stay tuned.

Victoria Police are the professional victim alphabet soup rainbow squadron’s cucks. “Your presence here is inciting potential violence.” Adam’s apples in dresses and their NPC, prideful enablers. I am the voice of accountability that says: ‘explain yourself’. That’s why these unhinged, degenerate activist types are scared of me. Footage is from a rally last week organised out the front of 7NEWS HQ in Port Melbourne. Two points for the record: (1) Disfiguring the healthy bodies of gender-confused kids under the banner of ‘gender affirming care’ is an atrocity we’ll look back on as a society and regret deeply—they are the innocent, sacrificial lambs of modern woke culture. And (2) we were the ones who called the police as we approached the event in case things got out of hand. Note to self: they are proving to be increasingly useless when it comes to protecting reasonable people’s rights—they’re becoming more and more mere pawns to their rainbow-appropriating puppet masters. Enough is enough.

Your mother deserves a safe-space away from the prying eyes and exposed genitals of male strangers, trans-identifying or not. To hold your tongue amidst all this woke 'trans inclusion' is to do her a disservice and facilitate the erosion of her sex-based rights. To say a firm 'no' to the PC matrix and its appropriated rainbow is to stand up for (real) women.

More forthright with what I believe and why. I don't mince words. Eager to hear your thoughts in the comment section.

We ask the important but controversial questions, then try to find common ground.

We ask the important but controversial questions, then try to find common ground. Our mission is to promote (1) deep and critical thinking, (2) open and productive dialogue, and (3) to also hold protesters, activists and changemakers accountable to truth and reason. In this episode, the first of the CGC Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jade Wren. Jade is a qualified counsellor specializing in the treatment and support of people from the LGBTQ+ community, including those experiencing gender dysphoria. She has her own private practice, Wren Counselling, and draws not only on her theoretical knowledge and expertise, but also her lived experience, for Jade herself is a trans woman.

We ask the important but controversial questions, then try to find common ground. Our mission is to promote (1) critical thinking and (2) productive dialogue by respectfully asking anyone and everyone, "what do you believe and why?" In this episode, we ask the important but controversial question, "what is a high-value woman?" Put differently, within the sexual marketplace what do males select for in a long-term female partner? And, vice versa, what do females select for in a long-term male partner? Thanks to everyone who engaged in conversation as well as everyone working behind the scenes to make CGC possible. ⚡️ SUPPORT US & THE MISSION ⚡️ → CGC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/commongroundconversations → Controversial Conversation Cards: https://commongroundconversations.co/products/controversial-conversation-cards → Merch: https://commongroundconversations.co/pages/merch → Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@commongroundconvos → Rich's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richard_lfg_jackson/ → Rich's Twitter: https://twitter.com/rich_cgc 🔗 ADDITIONAL LINKS 🔗 → Divorce stats: https://www.whitleylawfirmpc.com/3-reasons-why-women-initiate-divorce-more-often-than-men/ → Background music: https://youtu.be/IdjTX91oDrM → Audio post-production by Josh Bakaimis: https://instagram.com/josh_bak_sound?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= ⏱ TIMESTAMPS ⏱ 00:00 - Coming up 01:41 - Intro 13:25 - Convo 1 25:29 - Convo 2 38:33 - Convo 3 42:25 - Convo 4 44:05 - Convo 5 54:36 - Convo 6 01:01:15 - Convo 7 01:03:03 - Convo 8 01:04:16 - Interlude (Hot Takes) 01:06:08 - Convo 9 01:06:55 - Convo 10 01:08:10 - Convo 11 01:09:04 - Convo 12 01:10:57 - Convo 13 01:12:51 - Convo 14 01:15:08 - Convo 15 01:19:48 - Convo 16 01:21:08 - Convo 17 01:23:02 - Outro 01:25:29 - Out Takes
