    He's a piece of shit.

    But also to signal that he's on a specific side. People would call these dog whistles but I think it's bit to overt for that.

    So apparently he thinks murder is appropriate for different political ideologies?

    Interesting. That might be a poor career decision.

    Consider any Postmedia source to be a fascist mouthpiece and it's reporters as fascists.

    Same with Rebel Media.

    I had to delete my Canadian friends off my social media because they were both rabid pro facist Trump supporters. The last one was celebrating the annexation of Venezuela. It was weird AF

    as an Ontarian, we have a HUGE blue (conservative) community because of how much of it is rural

    and it follows the same shit as everywhere else, blue no matter who, even when they don't understand why. they wanted to fuck Trudeau (understandable tbh), now they want to fuck Carney (not my personal taste and a bit harder to understand, but I won't judge sexual preferences)

    Hey, I'm from where you are suggesting, and I'm also emphatically against whats going on. Both domestically and internationally. I think most my age are. The only people propping this shit up are boomers (inherent racism from the 'good ol' days' + susceptible to social media rage baiting) and people that we grew up with that always latched onto minority causes and viewpoints because they thought it was so edgy. Basically the people that were clearly not going to amount to much. It's revenge of the dumb.

    Hey bruh, I'm a Millenial in America and thought the same thing about Conservatives/Republicans. "They're all a stupid minority, no one sensible feels this way."

    Please, for the love of god, don't discount the right-winged weirdos around you. Ignoring those "edgelord cases" who were "never going to amount to anything" are exactly how we got a second Trump term. Use us as a warning.

    They're fucking dumb, yet terrifyingly effective. Keep up the boycotts & public criticisms, we support you!

    Yeah, people get fedfacebooks and YouTube algorithms. I have two people, BC and Ontario, that I had to stop taking to.

    One believes all the right conspiracy stuff and believes the biggest issue is rainbows on sidewalks, etc. The other has two daughters and proclaimed feminist, transrights person, but wanted to move to Texas, where they had just removed women's rights. The can't see the contradiction for the "I have freedom and prosperity in the USA"

    I haven't stopped talking to these people (I mean I don't talk to them, but I keep connections). I only do this, because the sun will eventually rise, and I want to make sure their behavior haunts them for the rest of their lives. Especially in one of the cases.

    There were actual Venezuelans in Canada celebrating the abduction. They have easy access to information about what happened in Iraq over the last 20 years, but it doesn't matter. That would require going out and finding the information, rather than being fed it by automated algorithms.

    You haven't met the Canadian MAGAs who demanded first amendment rights in front of a Canadian Judge?

    I thought our magats were dumb, but yours are on a whole other level. I managed to find an article that mentions this issue of Canadians thinking they have first amendment rights. You have to scroll way down for the goods:

    "Honestly? I thought it was a peaceful protest and based on my first amendment, I thought that was part of our rights," he told the court.

    "What do you mean, first amendment? What's that?" Judge Julie Bourgeois asked him.

    Wow, just wow.

    oh yeah we got tons of those

    there's one guy I used to know from school that I still have on Facebook that has been posting increasingly right-wing stuff over the past year or so. it was kind of hard to figure out where exactly he stood, and like I did consider him a fairly rational guy even though he was a little too eager in general (meaning he'd sometimes jump to conclusions or miss investigating something).

    but this event has made it very clear where he stands. he's a nazi.

    he doesn't present as one. he doesn't say overtly nazi things. but he supports nazis and thinks that only Good did anything bad here, and thus he supports nazis and thus he is a nazi

    I don't see where Liberal Party members enable the foreign ownership of our media by direct action.

    Mr Harper - he who first sold our resource rights to a foreign nation with a chequered relationship - I think wasn't with the Liberals.

    Not only that, but create tax breaks for their clientele. Thankfully starting in 2025 this has come to an end, because our media is mostly a monopoly of traitor megaphones.

    We need to make sure the CBC is protected, at all costs. Id also like to see some of these smaller guys be able to make a go of it, stuff like the Tyee.

    Needs to be a blanket ban on all US social media here. I’d totally be all for it.

    Even better, create a new social media system where you need to be registered with your real name through ID so you’re personally accountable for anything you post.

    This will sound insensitive, but it's a serious point of anger for a lot of Canadians. I couldn't give a fuck about what the average peanut farmer in South Virginia thinks about Canada. When Canadian's talk about "America" -they are talking about the American government - ya know, the people who control the tanks and bombs? The people threatening? The people who have an actual impact on Canadian sovereignty?

    It's no different for you. When someone talks about something "France wants to do," you don't mistakenly think it's about some rando coffee-shop worker in Paris, you know it's referring to the french government. You are well aware that there are people living in France that don't want to do that thing, but you don't care, that's not relevant.

    "Not all Americans" really rings so hollow it might as well be a balloon. Use that energy on getting rid of the fascists running the place instead of worrying about discrimination from some country to the North.

    ICE is to blame, for everything they are doing or that happens as a result. That these social media people are also wrong is an additional layer of filth.
