I’ve long suspected the wealthy global oligarchs & plutocrats influence on policy prevented any interventions that would stem Putin’s expansionism. Because it would impact their profits.
@petedako@StillDelvingH@carolecadwalla@NancyMacLean5 It’s nice to know there are politicians who will refuse to compromise on human rights, global security and democracy to appease the super wealthy. And they seek to expose those who have made those compromises & those who demand them.
There is every reason to ban religious belief from shaping medical practice.
When some random guy believes his faith is more relevant than trained medical physicians expertise in deciding whether a pregnancy needs to be terminated, at any week of gestation, that’s a problem.
This is not DIRECTLY about women’s health or rights. It’s about religious zealotry controlling the options available to women & physicians.
This is about imposing moral values of Christian zealots into the mainstream.
This man is overruling the medical system’s moral system.
For him, it’s not good enough that a highly educated expert physician who has years of medical training and practical experience is able to offer the option to terminate a pregnancy or not in consultation with the woman who is pregnant based on science & health concerns.
This isn’t just whining. It’s Christian nationalists laying the groundwork for theocratic government.
Charlie Kirk is a martyr to evangelical Christo-fascists in the US and now this Alberta online influencer is touting his belief in Kirk’s brand of Christianity.
The public asks why Poilievre is an unrepentant bigot and brute leader.
This is why. The people voting for CPC are not moderate conservatives. They are the angry men who believe liberals, feminists, transgender people, brown immigrants and indigenous people stole their power.
Why do they believe that white men are entitled to the top of the hierarchy? Because idiots like this are getting amplified by the algorithm on social media. Politicians are echoing more palatable versions of this narrative on university and college campuses.
An American grocery/gas station billionaire, whose funds are keeping Canadian poultry out of the American market & other foreign markets because of bird flu infection risks, has been donating to the legal challenge against the federal govt’s authority to regulate.
Let it sink in. All the way.
An American billionaire is funding an effort to remove the legal authority of a sovereign nation, using its own court system.
He also says we are “all Americans”. Presumably is a reference to 51st state ambitions.
The gaffe was permitting people outside of the radicalized far right echo chamber to watch the video.
This introduction of Christian Nationalist “alternate reality” is not a gaffe. It was intentional. A deliberate attempt to normalize intolerable beliefs.
We can all see now how those stuck in the con echo chamber are radicalized.
What if the video was only circulated within the con insulated environment? What if working class and middle income voters are continuously exposed to this gaslighting & disinformation?
Well, that is what is happening. Egregious lies about crimes being committed and “deep state” coverups have become the common fodder sustaining the conservative support base.
It’s no longer a mystery what cons are telling their supporters.
You are NOT Christian if you believe Jesus wants you to load people with brown skin into a vehicle to be deported from the US because they’re not white.
Believing Jesus wants you to force brown people out of US is fascist totalitarianism or palingenetic ultranationalism.
But it’s NOT Christian. JESUS was not in favour of judgement nor violence. “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone”. John 8:7
Even as he was dying on the cross, he asked for forgiveness for those who had sinned against him.
Luke 23:34
Forgiveness, compassion, love and generosity are Christian values. Not retribution. Not evil committed in Jesus’s name.
I’m flabbergasted that so many people continue to believe this is about freedom of speech or expression.
Trump has moved beyond speech with the assistance of Project 2025.
He’s attacking freedom of thought.
In a coordinated attack, Trump, Christian nationalists and white supremacists are eliminating the public’s right to freedom of thought by eliminating all forms of factual information.
By making truth unknowable, Trump then tells the public what to think.
Dissenters aren’t being removed for mere speech violations. It’s for promoting independent thought based on verifiable facts.
Trump started this attack on free thought in 2016 at his inauguration. He forced Sean Spicer to proclaim his crowd was bigger than Obama’s.
