I care, becuase his straight up Nazi bullshit makes its way into my mailbox whenever he does. And it is, its covered with nazis imiagry, talks about "solutions" to the Jewish and Muslim probelsm, but always goes "I'm not a nazi! I have black and Jewish friends!"

James Sears also was a doctor that lost his license for sexually assaulting patients while they were under, but he didn't face criminal charges because the cops "lost" the evidence. He did get arrested for sending his bullshit to a primary Jewish neighbourhood but neglected to realize that it was also a very wealthy area who didn't take kindly to his antics.

My point was Sears who has more of a history of this poo poo than Faith Goldie has continued completely under the radar. Presumably because, as Azerban pointed out, he is not a youngish white lady.

Believe.
The problem with Goldie is the bullshit "she isn't a nazi/white nationalist/racist" thing she sometimes gets, somehow. I don't think she's actually good enough at this to be subtle, but the danger is in letting anything like that even try to normalize. It's what Richard Spencer and his assholes were trying to do in the states.

Straight up nazi images are still completely outside the range of socially acceptable things and can be somewhat resonably ignored (for now). White ladies ' speaking their mind' can't be, because there's an edge that people seem willing to defend in popular society. That's bullshit and people need to reinforce that those beliefs are dangerous and unacceptable.

That being said, it's better to try and highlight mainstream people defending her rather than highlighting her.

There were totally a few journalists who jumped in to defend her around the rebel firing. Looks like there is less of it now.

James Sears ran in Ottawa Centre in the last provincial election and got 92 votes. I think most people know he's a crazy person who is the fringiest of the fringe, politically. Lots of people actually like Faith Goldy. She's been shoved to the fringe right a little bit since the Rebel fired her for being too much of an obvious Nazi but she still has a following that thinks all of her Actual Nazi Propaganda is just those loony lefties making poo poo up.

Is the guy who runs over a security guard or just a guy wearing a leather vest? Also because he's a brown guy, the chud would rather stand in the fountain than be helped out.

He's not some random dude because he's wearing a badge and radio. I just assumed he was a cop because he was protecting a fascist.

I figure a private security guard rather than a cop. They're even worse than Cops because at least being a cop takes some amount of effort more than just wanting to be lovely to everyone.

Looking at it way to closely and many times I think its like a leather vest for a biker gang or something, the badge looks more like a bird or angel or something. He's certainly not dressed like any Toronto Cop i've ever seen.

Yeah, it's an un-patched biker cut, which could mean he's anything from a new member of a bike gang to a big fan of Sons of Anarchy or a member of some group that wears biker cuts ironically like some "volunteer community angel" groups.

While I applaud nazis being thrown into fountains, I also appreciate his attempt to de-escalate from there while the cops did poo poo all.

Opinion sections are literally just the Racism section, but then they've always been the grumpy grandpa section.

literally

The problem of course is that true de-escalation necessarily involves a substantial invigoration of wealth and resource redistribution over a significant duration of time. Of course, from the perspective of the global elite, this process is inherently and dangerously escalatory, and a heck of a lot of effort has been put towards the dissemination and propagation of that idea, even if it is outright detrimental to billions upon billions of people.


You might call this the cultivation of a “false worldview” or something. If only there was a term for it. :thunk:

De-escalation of the fountain situation would only be necessary if the racist's head were being held underwater or something. Pushing him into the fountain is completely acceptable, as the cop indeed seemed to agree.

I know cops who probably would've written him a citation for trespassing in the fountain, for good measure :v:

The secret to all of this is that none of the Russian psyops would have worked if we hadn’t already been so ready to accept them. They didn’t make people like this; they just saw an opportunity and exploited it. Our decades long failure to inoculate people from bad-faith argument tactics/teach basic media literacy is really the primary thing to blame.

Probably not that much, comparatively. Our media is cheap as poo poo to buy off, and they go lock-step with the right-wing media down south anyway.

The main problem is that media literacy only helps people who want it to help them. To quote Simon & Garfunkel: "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest." Knowing the signs of propaganda and bullshit is useless if you actively want to believe whatever the propaganda/bullshit is telling you.
