Alternate title: Canada attends fascism summit.

“This is a distinctive and unique evil. It has always been driven by a hatred, above all else, a hatred for civilization itself. It is a revolt of the worst against the best, a revolt of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good. It is perpetrated by those who cannot build, who cannot create, who cannot achieve great things, and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy those who can. This is what radical leftism is.”

Definitely not beating the allegations.

Every accusation is a confession.

Every. Single. One.

It’s pure doublespeak and it’s completely intentional.

A revolt of the cowardly against the strong

Wouldn't that make them brave?

The only left wing extremism is the left wing being extremely tired of a felon rapist pedophile dictating our lives.

Why do you think the federal government is targeting privacy?

It's starting. The relative reprieve from leftist persecution that came with the end of the Cold War, along with the abandonment of leftist ideas by the left parties as part of "the end of history" is coming to an end. The erosion of people's standards of living is resurfacing the solutions that worked many decades ago and the machine is preparing to protect itself.

It's not a bad idea to be in the room and know what the fascists are planning.

If 9 people sit down at a table with 1 Nazi without protest, there are 10 Nazis at the table.

They livestreamed the thing. We didn't need to attend.

OTTAWA — The Carney government has sent a senior official from Canada’s embassy in Washington, to a Trump administration summit trying to rally allies behind a new U.S. campaign targeting left-wing groups it claims are a top terrorism threat.

Do we know who actually attended? Has s/he made any official comments about their perspective?

The title kind of made me laugh, like all of Canada was being forced to watch a bullshit presentation via Zoom or something, which I imagine is how it feels sometimes being Canadian and bombarded constantly with American... everything, but especially politics. But, that aside, I'm very curious who actually attended what what it symbolizes that this official attended.
