A Nazi Christian nationalist toured Canada this summer, people opposed had to get together in every single city and have there be substantial public outcry before local governments revoked his licenses to play.
So, Nazi? You're fine, in line with Canadian values apparently. Critical of Israel in any way? BANNED FROM CANADA
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, we sell arms to Israel and we have parliamentary standing ovations for shitstains like Charlie Kirk.
This one sentence on the article pretty much summarizes the problem:
It’s not surprising these groups check out of politics, especially when there is mounting evidence that legislators favour higher status voters.
The two main parties can barely pretend to give a fuck about the poors anymore, and the NDP has basically regressed to being equivalent of the Liberals a decade ago. The Federal Greens are a joke.
I only vote because I'm queer and the Conservatives have a much more aggressive form of homophobia than the Libs.
I'm not saying fascists aren't cruel, I'm saying they will be cruel regardless of any reactions from opponents. Will it maybe give them an excuse to accelerate their cruelness? Sure. But there's no doubt that their reaction to Kirk's murder will be to implement cruelty that they were already planning on implementing.
I'm not a fan of violence, but the right hasn't given us a choice. It's like if a woman got raped after slapping a guy harassing her in a bar. The rapist was gonna rape regardless, and the fascists are gonna be fascists regardless. It's victim-blaming.
I definitely agree with everything you wrote in your second paragraph, it's that first part I take issue with. The American fascist movement is going full steam ahead with their Nazi shit, and would do so regardless of Charlie Kirk getting murdered.
Will they try to make a martyr out of him? Of course they will.
I however disagree with the notion that Nazis wouldn't be Nazis if opposition "took the high road" and debated the Nazis instead of responding to their violence in kind. The Nazis are gonna do Nazi shit regardless, and their justifications will always be bullshit.
Do you truly think the Nazis wouldn't have imposed martial law if it weren't for that assassination?
