c/enoughmuskspam I think?

Every time TFG goes golfing it costs you a quarter or so.

“OK BOOMER”

Or at least put on a mildly humiliating show of making an exception to our strict border laws about letting felons in.

So roughly $650 per resident in BC.

Hire More Doctors

Yeah that whinging from that source tells us it’s an adequate target.

You got advice to study some history from me and didn’t say -ok where to start- you just disengage from the criticism. Maybe it’s valid? Start there?

Plan, then act. Read Wikipedia about tactics and strategies for democratic development. Read about the ties between conservatism and the aristocracy for all history and realize that the only classes that matter are the workers who sell labour for money and owners who make money through control and exploitation of resources and workers.

You want to be an ally it sounds like. Well, advice to any ally of colonial resistance: decolonize your mind. Read Fanon or Zinn, e.g., or go watch old episodes of Beau of the Fifth Column or something, it depends on who you are – and you aren’t sharing that.

Canadians have been colonized by England AND the USA. The geopolitics are cultural as well. Maybe we’re justifiably touchy about people from an authoritarian colonizer complaining that we don’t trust them as much when there’s common talk in the streets about ukraining us?

1. Figure out what your strengths are
2. Find others who are opposing fascism and work with them

This is a conversation, bud. You came in here whining about trying to dodge responsibility instead of saying “I am just a retail worker who plays DnD when I am not looking after my sister” whereupon you get help. Plus you got advice and ignored it.

If 10% more voters showed up it being somewhat rigged wouldn’t have mattered.

Even though the media is owned by billionaires, if people talked about this shit and resisted aristocratic bullshit, it wouldn’t have mattered, the monarchists would have been held back. Too late now, resistance is the last hope for democracy.

Voting and selective consumption…. That’s the barest definition of citizenhood. Resisting an aristocracy is always going to require more than that. Not everyone can be a dedicated activist but c’mon, some perspective from history here.

If rioting is your only tactic, you’ve lost in advance.

Jesus Murphy, it isn’t dehumanizing it’s telling you you aren’t working hard enough or smart enough to fucking fix it, because no one else can.

Baiting people here doesn’t do anything. Go fix it FFS.

Here’s how it works:

You live in a country that has declared war on a much smaller neighbour. (Sure, for now it’s just economic, but cf. Warren Buffet.)

The victims of the aggression from your region are under no obligation to investigate your personal innocence in the matter.

If you are an ally, the responsibility to demonstrate that is entirely yours. Also, the bar is naturally high, as your fascist government has repeatedly threatened our sovereignty and territory.

So suck it up and read up on Denmark or France in 1940.

And yet, if they had succeeded, what then?

It’s the dog catching the car. Fucking MAGA heads would be trashed in an election now that we are sensitive to quislings and fascists.

“…for some reason…”

The reason is the same as all fascist takeovers. The coup works slowly, then suddenly. We are in the acceleration phase, it’s ramping up, just as they said it would in the Project 2025 documents.

I REPEAT: THIS WAS ALL ANNOUNCED BEFOREHAND. Plus, history explains.

The script is to combine a shock and awe campaign of massive change on so many fronts that no one could possibly resist them all, and to demoralize and deflate opposition.

Once this phase is complete, the power thieves will have sufficiently infiltrated the monopoly on violence (military and policing management) and the bureaucratic and technocratic key elements will be gutted or loyalized, so that a full coup can occur. Full control of media, a massive apparatus of repression and surveillance, and a hot mess of mistrust throughout society.

Interpersonal and community relations will be broken and replaced by dependency on authority for guidance and morality and information. Rights will be crushed and perverted. Power and money will only flow to the top, and poverty will become the norm.

US international influence will contract and enemies will be constructed. Blame Canada.

Just a warning though, when you folks are finally conscripted to invade northwards, we have a lot of methods and welcoming gifts to make it regrettable, and people here are getting prepared. I’d dodge the draft, when it comes, if I were you.

Wait didn’t MEC collapse into / get bought by a regular corporation?

If anyone thinks that this is hyperbole, a reminder that the Proud Boys are designated a terrorist organization by the somewhat sober and reasonable Canadian government.

She’s one of the worst charade politicians, too. Her creepy perky persona was honed in media manipulation, and her raging evangelical extremism has been hidden pretty effectively. She’s downright dangerous and deeply illiberal. Trojan horse.

Fuck, Teddy, at this point you’re just strutting around on the board cooing and knocking over pieces.
