For everyone who chooses to believe Q’Anon and Dominionist Christians are intellectually challenged and do not have the capacity to use critical thinking...

Think again. This woman is a family physician.

Physicians are some of the smartest people in society.
Faith has nothing to do with intellect.

Incredibly smart people are just as vulnerable as those with lesser intellectual gifts.

Faith is in the realm of emotions, not intelligence.

And like Retired General McCaffery says, we are a very long way from healing.
Please stop viewing these people as stupid. Logic and reason are useless to fight this war precisely because of that assumption.

You are not superior in intellect or critical thinking skills than the people caught up in these dangerous cults.
The difference between “us” and “them” is emotional vulnerability. Not intelligence.

That means they are just like us. Human beings with emotional vulnerabilities. The ONLY difference is we have resisted joining the cult. That’s it. We are not superior.
We are the same as the people who stormed the Capitol in worth and value. We are all human beings. There are no human beings that are more equal in worth and value than others.

There are some who challenge that belief, regularly. But that’s what perpetuates this madness...
The belief in our own superiority to other members of our species.

That’s a myth we tell ourselves to justify our actions. Those actions include personal attacks on people who have been pulled into a global cult and manipulated psychologically.
Even the architects of this mess are human beings and of equal worth and value. They just happen to be incredibly desperate human beings that have orchestrated global cult membership causing unrest in order to maintain their power and wealth.
The belief in one’s superiority is the fuel that led us to this destination of chaos and unrest.

If you believe in your own superiority, you can then justify any action to preserve your superior status.

None of us are superior. Every life is precious.
Imprisoned criminals deserve covid vaccine as much as any other human being. So do 90 year olds living out their last years in LTC centres.

No life is superior to their lives. Until we act like all lives matter, those who believe in their own superiority perpetuate bigotry.
That includes those who consider their beliefs, values and ideals superior to others.

It’s a trap. Preference for a worldview is not an indication of superiority.

We must hold people accountable for their crimes. Because they are crimes. Not because “we” are superior.
That is the first step to healing the psycho local wound in western civilization. Checking our beliefs for indicators that we feel superior.

If you feel superior, then you’re perpetuating the continuation of this nightmare. Please reassess that belief.

This is what the far right stands for. Treason, murder, betrayal.

The ends DO NOT justify the means! Throw that treasonous rat in prison for the remainder of her natural life!

This is not normal! This is a cancerous malignancy hiding behind a sweet smile & sheep’s clothing.
We MUST root out and identify these treasonous people in Canada to prevent them from committing the same violent insurrection here.

This is not a witch hunt. This is preventative measures to secure our nation.

McCarthy was after anyone who didn’t think and believe as he did.
This is vastly different! The people McCarthy vilified and demonized were innocent of the accusations he made.

These people are not innocent. The far right have been actively obstructing covid measures for months & chipping away at democratic norms and principles for decades.

O’Toole’s main job just became distancing the CPC members from the exposed Republican traitors that committed disgusting acts of sedition resulting in 5 deaths so far.
Good luck Mr. O’Toole. People like me have receipts and we have the ability to point out the deep connections between Canadian conservatives and American traitors.
What’s that old saying?...

Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.

Or

You are known by the company you keep.

Or

Birds of a feather flock together.

Or

Betrayal is an inside job. It isn’t betrayal unless it’s committed by an ally. ImageImageImageImage

Erin O’Toole, in his best about face yet, is sacrificing the white supremacist voter base to attempt to save the Conservative Party from imploding.

Conservatives did vilify Muslim domestic and foreign terrorists. But they have NOT historically condemned white nationalism.
In fact they have fostered relationships with these groups and fought for hate speech to be free speech in Canada. Scheer’s platform in 2019 included sanctions for college campuses that blocked hate speech.
Too little too late O’Toole. CPC does support stochastic terrorism.

Your original slogan was a dog whistle to those who desire to overthrow democracy. Take back Canada?! From whom?

Provincial cons demonstrate cons have no allegiance to democracy once elected.

Obviously there are untreated mental health issues here.

The question to ask ourselves is how is Republican far right toxic propaganda destabilizing those with mental health concerns (vulnerability) so effectively?
A more detailed description of the Atlanta area man can be viewed here.

11alive.com/video/news/cri…
The text messages he wrote reveal a seriously disturbed individual with murderous intent.

While Trump isn’t responsible for the mental problems, he is directly responsible for shaping the intent of the man’s violent fantasies and actions.

That’s stochastic terrorism.

This is one of the most important threads I’ve read in the last year. Maybe more.

@PaulDoroshenko hits the ball out of the park!

This is exactly what we need to do.

And remember, Harper stacked public service with loyalists. RCMP, judiciary, senate, government departments.
We need Denazification in Canada too!

There can be no tolerance for intolerance.

Many are opining about free speech. In Canada we have freedom of expression and it comes with some caveats. Harmful hate speech is not free.

We have been inundated with hate speech for decades.
It must stop. We must remove the fascists from power and eradicate the platforms they use to build support.

I’ve taught both my children by age 9 what fascism is and what it looks like. I can be done.

School based education is a must to nullify hatred.

To realize the extent of the treason committed on January 6, 2021, please watch this video.



And then remember Canadian, especially Albertan, conservatives are moving in this direction and have been supportive of Trump’s cabal, since the beginning.
In fact many still are openly supportive of the far right even after January 6, 2021.

The violence in this video is disturbing. You’ll witness death chants, a scaffold with noose, a shooting and an officer suffering intense trauma from being crushed.
What is amazing to me are the videos of people relaxing in their hotels afterwards that are circulating on social media.

How mentally warped must you be to calmly sit down with drinks and bar snacks after attempting a violent coup?
