Understanding that the right wing extremist government in the United States is attempting to squash free speech but it makes less sense that the Labour government of the UK would do its bidding. Have they tried putting a Human Rights lawyer in charge?

Time for Canadians to wake up to the fact that their politicians are all trained seals answering to Washington?

Which is why it is very important that voters never be given the chance to choose it.

I've noticed that half the media freakout is mid-level political commentators coming to terms with the idea that they can also be victims.

The fact that a lot of left commentators are realizing this along with the rightoids is a little disturbing because where have they been in the last several decades of escalating right-wing violence?

I didn't know him by name but by the "prove me wrong" meme. He was a mid-tier grifter on the way down with the likes of Fuentes in the way up. The key thing is he had a lot of access to Trump.

Is U of T forgetting what country it's in? 😒

They "think" the country is at war with them the way Nazi Germany "thought" Poland attacked their radio station.

If Peter Theil's neck explodes on camera do we have to be horrified?

Do you think his blood is red?

Will we have to memory-hole all the shit he said about being the antichrist and being "transhumanist"?

Will there be a government directed red scare purge even after it comes out that the killer was a slightly different faction of violent right extremist?

Will we just completely ignore the concurrent school shooting because those are happening all the time now and aren't even worth commenting on unless the killer is trans and it can be incorporated into the culture war?

Someone with more time than me could easily do an entertaining mashup of Kirk and Mussolini quotes

I always thought i was left, but seeing how a lot of people on the left gleefully react to someone’s assasination makes me wonder if i’m actually left.

I don’t mourn Benito Mussolini's passing, i never liked him. But i certainly don’t celebrate his murder either. Anyone who does should be put in a mental asylum as far as i’m concerned. They certainly have mental health problem

Probably closer to like the Sergei Kirov killing actually.

Yeah they're still insisting that the guy who murdered the Hortmans is a "democrat" despite him having right-wing signifies all over him, because he got himself onto a state panel once.

I bet they'll scour this guys history to find him saying something good about Dennis Kucinich on some forum in 2015 or something to prove that he's really an antifa sleeper agent.

Is it weird to be an American interested in Canadian news?
