  • Some are. Some aren’t. There’s really no other way to answer.

    No political party exists as a monolith. They’re all made up of people on all points of a spectrum.

    In the case of the conservatives, you still have some old school Progressive Conservatives hanging around, along with some Reform/Alliance party harder right conservatives. And even some Trump style MAGA type conservatives.

    As someone has already mentioned, PPC didn’t split off because of idealogical differences, but because Bernier was pissy about losing the leadership.


  • If you read you’ve probably heard about a little something called “Occam’s razor”.

    What’s the most probable answer, that a far right news host from a far right news channel is sporting his tattoos as a symbol of his love of history and the holy land, or that he’s sporting them because he’s a fucking nazi.

    Nobody is denying your “history” of the symbol. We’re all well aware of the “larger story”. But it’s irrelevant because there’s an approximate 99.99999% probability that the guy who doesn’t understand the wider history of the cross is the guy that’s fucking wearing them.

    You can write a thousand paragraphs “teaching people” all you want, but it’s totally irrelevant in this situation and you are only doing it in order to obfuscate the issue with meaningless nonsense.





  • And the U.S. got all the money to build up their industrial base by the fact that they were they only country able to give out loans to the European nations fighting in the First World War since every european country spent everything they had and then some fighting each other.

    World War One represented the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. It was bigger than the economic exploitation by the British Empire of Africa, India and Asia combined. In four years, the U.S. basically held all the cards and (I know this is controversial) only ended up getting involved militarily when it seemed possible that the allies would lose and therefore be unable to pay off their loans.

    And you know what…all credit to the Americans; they took that new found wealth and built up the strongest, most powerful industrial base the world had ever seen; an industrial base that, without which, the second world war would have been nearly impossible to win (Russian blood, British Strategy, American Industry…isn’t that the saying?)

    It’s what they proceeded to do with that industrial base afterwards that lead us to where we are now.
