    So apparently he thinks murder is appropriate for different political ideologies?

    Interesting. That might be a poor career decision.

    I had to delete my Canadian friends off my social media because they were both rabid pro facist Trump supporters. The last one was celebrating the annexation of Venezuela. It was weird AF

            If 1/6 Ontarians think something and 1/2 Albertans think something then there are more Ontarians that think that thing than Albertans.

            as an Ontarian, we have a HUGE blue (conservative) community because of how much of it is rural

            and it follows the same shit as everywhere else, blue no matter who, even when they don’t understand why. they wanted to fuck Trudeau (understandable tbh), now they want to fuck Carney (not my personal taste and a bit harder to understand, but I won’t judge sexual preferences)

      There were actual Venezuelans in Canada celebrating the abduction. They have easy access to information about what happened in Iraq over the last 20 years, but it doesn’t matter. That would require going out and finding the information, rather than being fed it by automated algorithms.

        It’s too depressing we are surrounded by these heavily propagandized people here in the states. It feels really threatening at this time. I’ve had to isolate for my own health and safety

      You haven’t met the Canadian MAGAs who demanded first amendment rights in front of a Canadian Judge?

      oh yeah we got tons of those

      there’s one guy I used to know from school that I still have on Facebook that has been posting increasingly right-wing stuff over the past year or so. it was kind of hard to figure out where exactly he stood, and like I did consider him a fairly rational guy even though he was a little too eager in general (meaning he’d sometimes jump to conclusions or miss investigating something).

      but this event has made it very clear where he stands. he’s a nazi.

      he doesn’t present as one. he doesn’t say overtly nazi things. but he supports nazis and thinks that only Good did anything bad here, and thus he supports nazis and thus he is a nazi

    Dang it’s almost like letting your enemies own our home turf news media is a bad idea or something…

    Nah, that’s impossible.

      Needs to be a blanket ban on all US social media here. I’d totally be all for it.

      Even better, create a new social media system where you need to be registered with your real name through ID so you’re personally accountable for anything you post.

      What’s really weird is that I’m on lemmy.ca, and I have no idea what the fuck you’re on about!
      Would you care to amuse me and elaborate?

          I think it’s silly to generalize any group of people by the actions of a few

            This will sound insensitive, but it’s a serious point of anger for a lot of Canadians. I couldn’t give a fuck about what the average peanut farmer in South Virginia thinks about Canada. When Canadian’s talk about “America” -they are talking about the American government - ya know, the people who control the tanks and bombs? The people threatening? The people who have an actual impact on Canadian sovereignty?

            It’s no different for you. When someone talks about something “France wants to do,” you don’t mistakenly think it’s about some rando coffee-shop worker in Paris, you know it’s referring to the french government. You are well aware that there are people living in France that don’t want to do that thing, but you don’t care, that’s not relevant.

            “Not all Americans” really rings so hollow it might as well be a balloon. Use that energy on getting rid of the fascists running the place instead of worrying about discrimination from some country to the North.
