Pierre and Scheer has a lot to say about freedom of speech but get real quiet when Canadians get threatened.

    They know they will lose midterms unless they polarize society beforehand until the only valid viewpoint is the autocracy they are creating. Even though they are inherently incompetent, even experience can beat that incompetence after losing their Iowa supermajority. More and more of them are now inline and are aware of where the country is really heading.

    They need to import American style culture war so badly. They need us to be as polarized as the Americans so so so badly.

      The CEO was killed because of an ongoing harm he was doing. Kirk was killed because someone didnt like what he was saying. If you dont see the difference, well, you might be the dumbest cunt on here yet.

        The US government does not believe the CEO was doing harm.

        You distinguish a difference between the two but the US government does not.

        Furthermore, an insurance claimant (i.e. someone actively being denied healthcare by insurance) was detained for using the words “delay, deny, depose” on the phone. This was under the previous administration. But both administrations agree with the arrest.

            That is true. However this makes my comment still stand:

            They [US government, Opposition Leader] didn’t do this [threaten people over sympothizing with the shooter] with the United Healthcare CEO.

        Hey champ, the ceo also only using his words to do harm.

        If you think one person’s use of words meant he deserved death and another person’s use of words is incapable of doing the same, that makes no sense.

      He wasn’t actually on a political side, exactly. And was probably utterly replaceable, too.

      I was impressed with how well thought out Mangione’s attack was, and it feels unfair his eyebrows gave him away in the end, but I’m not sure the target was particularly justifiable or worth the effort.

    Oh no, the guy who said he doesn’t mind people getting shot, gets shot.

    I’m just waiting for a video playing what he’s said about gun control and political violence with the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme playing to the news coverage of the shooting after.

    I don’t condone this, but I’m not saying it isn’t funny either.

      Lmao, the Communist United States. My guy, that’s where fascism comes from. That’s where they make it. It’s always been a genocidal and extractivist state and capitalism emerged through its existence. Ffs their nazis are killed by other nazis because there’s just that fucking many.

      That’s not true. America was never that good. Since WW2, America has stood for “We’re the best, fuck you”. It’s why America became World Police. The many wars to line their pockets, the selling of arms to violent dictators, causing instability in South America.

      Land of the free was always warped bullshit. Native Americans knew that forever. Blacks during slavery. Chinese Americans during the gold rush. Japanese Americans in WW2. Most of the US in Vietnam war/Iraq war.

      America has become “that thing” since forever. But like Brad Pitt, we got good PR to cover all of our abuses. Maybe less now.

    What was that pp said about using anglo-saxon words ? and this lovely bullshit:

    we need to put Canada first,” he said, pointing to what he called the Liberals’ “woke criminal justice agenda” and “woke agenda on spending.”

    And reshitting a known vocal anti trans cunt while defending a known anti everything that isn’t straight and white mouthpiece…

    Pathetic.

    And intended to incite.

    For JKR’s next trick, I’d see to see her analysis on how those statements relate to her own behavior. Let me add my own item to the list:

    If you act in direct contradiction to your own stated beliefs, you’re a hypocrite.

      When Paul Pelosi was attacked, the MAGAts jeered and made up stupid lies about the attacker being his gay lover. An 80+ year old man attacked in his own home by a right wing nutter and they thought it was funny.

      Now they are crying like little babies because TinyFace got shot and sane people are pointing out that he was quite okay with people being shot to protect the second amendment.

          No. Though if it were somebody who was sexually assaulted after repeatedly praising and promoting rapists I’d probably similarly acknowledge the irony.

          This guy reaped what he showed, and despite the initial attempts but right-wing issues to make it a battle cry to blame and attack the left even more … it looks like it came from somebody even nuttier than him in camp “go go fascism”. Had it been somebody else in his circle of crazy who took the hit, I’ve little doubt that a Kirk would have been part of the “we need even more guns to fight the left” crew before they even identified the attacker.

          While I am not going to recommend bullets to heads (or necks) as a good idea for solving these issues, I’m certainly not going to cry about this particular neck intersecting said bit of ammunition nor fail to note the irony in that given his platform.
