Let me very clear. If you don't use a car, you are not part of society. You refuse to support the oil industry. You should be shamed, endangered and attacked.

Seems like a whole lot of overreach. Overruling a democratic decision with the stroke of a pen is not how we do things in Canada.

Except that it is becoming that way.

Ford is fighting the courts to destroy bike lanes and public healthcare. Smith is imposing every fascist ideal possible on her province. Poilievre said he'd use the NWC to get his way if he becomes PM.

Modern conservatives worldwide are behaving dictatorially. They are - to a person - small-minded, self-interested, fearful, hate-filled, loathsome authoritarians, who frequently wrap their abuse in religion.

Or entire political system is based on the idea that even corrupt politicians will mostly try to serve the people, to some degree. We now have politicians and supporters around the world who are willing to murder people and burn the world down for their own short-term gain.

The sooner we understand that, the sooner we can fight them.

The problem is their supporters look at burning the world as progress.

And they have literally always been this way since conservatism as an ideology was founded. They are fundamentally opposed to democracy and crave power over others.

It has been slowly happening more and more in the last decades, and I fear that it will continue to get worst.

Sure it is. We actually have a long history of this, and our governing structure is set up to do exactly this.

We're just not so used to seeing them blatantly mimic deeply umpopular Americans.
