Canada has in fact deeply fucked up with it’s indigenous population, though the specifics of just how deeply the graves left by the residential schools go is something that seems to shift every time I dig into it. There’s no debate that the Canadian state killed a lot of indigenous people’s though.

However, that doesn’t have anything to do with correctly identifying the Russian disminformation machine. Even in some kind of “whataboutism” argument, Canada has legally taken blame for those deaths and created the entire Truth and Reconciliation movement to start trying to set things right. Comparing Canada saying aloud “we have fucked up and we want to fix it” to any state-run media in Russia is just laughable, at best.

Damn, man. Thank you for sharing, genuinely. I always appreciate the opportunity to learn of lived, firsthand experiences in these topics.

They’ve completely lost the plot in what left/right was intended to identify, and instead associate it with “the guys I like are left and the bad guys are right.”

They’re just just right-wing nationalists arguing for merit-based authoritarianism based off a different set of merits than the the white-christian nationalists of the west. Despite that, they have more in common with them then genuine leftists, who see the rule of any one party as invalid.

It sounds to me more that they think antisemitism is morally correct based on their aforementioned conspiracies.

Because apparently blaming the people committing the crimes isn’t enough. You need to perpetuate hate against an entire ethnic/religious group, otherwise your opinion is invalid as “Liberal tears.”

Anyone who looks at everything that is listed in the Epstein files and concludes, “this is why Judaism is bad,” needs to pull their head out of their racist ass.
