I have no words honestly. Ever since the Kirk shooting, things are spiralling further down and getting to a point of no return. I think war is going to erupt soon between fascist far-right groups and everyone else. Not just in the U.S., but in Canada, too.
I'm afraid you might be right. Although I think that some specificities of canadian culture might help us or at least slow down those changes.
I dunno. Hate groups have become much more bolder and appearing in public spaces. Have their own podcasts and their own media networks (Rebel News and Ezra Levant, etc.) They're also forming militias, training for combat and firearm use, and even infiltrating the military forces to recruit new members. Source Source 2 Bands with allegiances to these groups have also produced music with hate speech and racist lyrics, talking about bringing back gas chambers, etc. This is no joke.
And we've got... uh, legions of angry Québécois.
Edit: for the record I am a Québécois, and I happen to be very angry at all of this.
its not going to be a war because the left refuses to fight. I wouldn't be surprised to see a genocide though.
Don't confuse not being an ammo sexual with not fighting.
Guns and ammo aren't really even part of the problem. The left's complete lack of motivation to fight with any effective means whatsoever is. They've been convinced impotent action like protesting is going to get them somewhere when it isn't. Most still believe they're actually going to be able to vote in fair elections in the future. Their naivete is the problem.
Towing ICE vehicles, blocking their driveways, and swarming ice raids with too many people to control is ineffective?
It's true many people stay asleep until things are forced on them. But that goes for both sides. That's why we talk about activation and activists. Holding signs has never been about persuading the bad guys to stop being bad guys. It's about activating more people.
"Towing ICE vehicles, blocking their driveways, and swarming ice raids with too many people to control is ineffective?"
That stuff is effective. It does need to happen with a hell of a lot more regularity though.
To be fair, the people in the streets have been fighting. They've had some wins. Pushing away ICE raids, having their elected officials fight back in legislatures, especially locally. And sometimes federal judges will go against Trump's will when it gets too obviously fascist.
But the way things are going? You might be right. I hope you won't though.
Just cause I don't need to jerk off a gun to buy a sandwich doesn't mean I don't own, or know how to shoot a gun.
you jerk off guns? guns have penises?
