CanadianConservative The place for Canadian conservatives on Reddit. Conservatives, libertarians, right-wing populists, right-leaning moderates, and those who just want to ask questions and have discussions without being down-voted in certain other Canadian subreddits are welcome. Our goal is to have a place to have civil higher-quality discussions from a conservative point of view without the interruptions of a leftist centric platform of reddit.

Look either use antifascist or gtfo here trying to double play the meaning of words by using Antifa. I'd hope CAF members are smart enough to identify with being against fascism without aligning themselves to antifa. Seriously, in the context of the article antifa is the left wing political movement. For you to claim otherwise just comes off as being facetious.

antifascism is a left wing political movement.

Being against authoritarian governments is an everyone movement. If you don't vibe with that you're a bootlicker no matter who you vote for.

For sure.

I'm just pointing out that meaningful domestic resistance to fascism has always, in every country, been left-wing extremism (feel free to correct me if you can think of a movement the fascists and "centre" didn't call left-wing extremists at the time) ... it's just left-wing extremism that Canadians, including Canadian Conservatives, should wholeheartedly support.

I think folks just gotta get comfortable with the fact that "left" and "right" are not universally good or bad. Everyone may have their opinions about what's good and what's bad, but don't say "I like it, so it's not left-wing," that's childishness. We should all be left-wing in our opposition to fascism.

If the fascists are not calling you a "woke antifa sharia terrorist SJW" then you're a bit of a fascist yourself, or at least they think you are. Doesn't mean you are those things...obviously. No different from, in a country run by communists, they'll call any internal resistance "right-wing, bourgeois, wreckers, and pawns of capitalist imperialists" even if they're like...a labour union or whatever.

State executions of powerful pedophiles (e.g. epstein & co), for example, is a kind of right-wing extremism we should all wholeheartedly support lol

I upvoted you fyi. I'm so sick of the brain rot left vs right.

We are up the ass of billionaires, the only direction we need to go is straight backwards, out into the sunshine, then we can get our bearings and go our separate ways. Unite with the dissident right, and use epstein to raze and burn the oligarchy.

100%.

IMO on an individual level we need to start separating ourselves from the consumerism that both sustains and controls us. We can't change the system overnight but we can begin the process of starving it to death.

We need to start sustaining ourselves. Using systems that predate the capitalism that rejected it because it generated value for society and not capitalists.

bootlicker this bootlicker that. both of you speak as if you are clones. Come up with something less bot-like.

Sorry if this is all just a bother for you, but I intended for this to be to you too. I'm interested in your perspective, but maybe you aren't interested in engaging on it.
