Buddy, if you’re gonna impersonate us you’re gonna have to pay us the tariff!!!

I ask my best friend for $40.

Yeah, this Tyler Robinson guy, from these messages comes off as a “kinda normal Gen Z kid” to me. Trying to assign a political alignment to any of those messages seems like a huge stretch. Facts never get in the way of a rightwing narrative though.

That all said, those celebrating Kirk’s death are as much simply expressing themselves as Charlie Kirk was, when he was denigrating immigrants and those that didn’t fit the ideal Aryan description

And we should also publicly denounce people threatening journalists and professionals like Rachel Gilmore, who had been simply lamenting the appetite for escalation that would come from those seeking retribution, but this was wildly interpreted as a celebration and now is facing a constant barrage of death threats. Which only proved her point btw.

There was two mentions of Charlie Kirk, in a speech that I’d say was focused on condemning political violence, in a mostly non-partisan way. I’d like to think that in Canada we’re above using weapons to prove a point. If we need to beat back the intolerant we’ll do it in an enormous show of non-violent force like Torontonians just did at Christie Pits.

Anyway the speech is what I’d expect from a Conservative, but it’s nuanced enough that I get behind the primary message being conveyed.

Time to memory hole everything bad about Charlie Kirk. He was the most upstanding young man who never said a bad thing about anyone. It’s the Left with all this wrongthink.

And if she doesn’t wish to be, despite ample opportunity to, then let’s respect that.

As much as I like socialism, Jacobin commisioning a survey on the popularity of socialism is like Marlboro commissioning a survey on the popularity of smoking.

Public shaming works.

“It’s a shame you have hard-working people who need labor, and a group of people who are willing to work, and they have to look over their shoulder like they’re criminals,” Porter said. “They’re not.”

And your three-time vote for Mr. “They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” made it that way.

If you want hands on your farm, you’ll have to pay more.

If you want hands on your farm, you’ll have to accept trans- and non-binary people for who they are.

If you want hands on your farm, you’ll yave to support Democrat-style immigration policy.

Listen, as much as I do find Ben Meiselas and MTN very sensationalized and it’s hard for me to listen to them for long periods of time, I do think Mr. Angus is right to team up with them and lead the Canadian branch of Meidas.

The fact that you see him annoyingly often means that some Canadians that were completely unaware of the resistance movement will come across it and consider it.

Of course, we can all have our little gatherings on how the world should really be, in Gastown, Kensington Market or Le Plateau but without reach it is very difficult to be a nationally coordinated social movement.

When Fox News and corporate billionaire backed media dominate the airwaves and stories, the message that resistance is possible is easy to cover up, if the speakers of it aren’t coordinated. To illustrate, Ben Meiselas got an interview with California Governor Newsom. So did Charlie Kirk (may he rest in piss). Without some functional equivalent of a left-wing Fox News, right-wing propaganda is going to take all the airtime.

Not even just Mexicans, but Mexican-looking people (aka Latino).

But it’s not just license to hunt Latino looking people either. The stay was not on that population specifically. The stay was on arresting people on the suspicion based off of any of these henious criminal factors:

• Existing while non-white (this can include Black/African/Caribbean, East Asian, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Native Americans)
• Waiting for a bus
• Looking for work
• Working at a car wash, a recycling centre or on a farm
• Speaking English with a foreign-sounding accent
• Speaking Spanish (which could be any langauge to a cop that can’t tell foreign languages apart)

No visible minority is safe from this.

Fluoride in water? Ahhhh get rid of it! It’s improving children and adults’ dental hygiene too much!!!

Other stuff proven harmful to long term health? Meh, whatever.

Now we’re talkin’.

“Depolarize the Situation” is a three word slogan, but too many syllables to be adopted by Poilievre.

Applicants should be asking employers: how extensive has your firm’s use of AI generated coding tools been over the last few years?

Yes, and without appropriate identification on hand or prior notification to state or local authorities about activities, a masked person who claims to be an immigration officer, can be presumed by a reasonable person to be breaking this law (if passed), until they are positively identified as federal kidnappers instead of run-of-the-mill kidnappers. In the current state, they can just do whatever without people being able to tell the difference between a criminal assault vs. an enforcement operation.

It’s energy that is basically “free” with no artificial inputs needed and only a little bit of maintenance! More and more it becomes practically a no brainer compared to fossil fuel.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Oh, someone forgot to unfurl the rest of the amendment’s parchment with Sharpie writing, apparently:

…but the President can make any decree respecting the establishment of religion, prohibiting the exercise of other religions, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, for any reason the Government finds convenient.

Yeah, gee Eric, when one side’s politicians recklessly flaunt the things that bullets come from, who is surprised when they fly in that direction?
