Why the fuck would you write that?

[–] SamuelRJankis@sh.itjust.works 128 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's a piece of shit.

But also to signal that he's on a specific side. People would call these dog whistles but I think it's bit to overt for that.

This is what the right is being fed, the stupid ones believe it. Browse through these memes, its' kind of insane what they're shitting out and people are falling for it:

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I saw that a little while ago and have started dumping leftist memes there as well. Every one hovers at 60-70% downvoted. I can only hope one or two magats see it and have pause for thought for 5 seconds.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Doing the lord's work I see.

[–] edible_funk@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jesus fuck that site is a nazi hellhole. Every fascist sympathizer needs a violent death.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

It's not just that site, all of the meme sites have a way too big percentage of nazis and POS propaganda.

[–] ellypony@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Everything on that page is so ridiculously unfunny it almost loops back around to being ironically hilarious. Its mostly just sad.

I can't believe we pay for people to post this stuff.

Postmedia Tells Shareholders $35 Million in Federal Government Handouts is Now a β€˜Key Pillar’ of Its Business Strategy

Foreign media should really be labeled

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

Foreign media shouldn't be getting a single cent of government support.

That ad desc, lol

"Your ad isn't ready for you yet, but don't worry, you can read an article while you wait."

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ads are blocked, so that's the placeholder, or whatever. It's been 30 years since I've seen ads, for the most part.

So apparently he thinks murder is appropriate for different political ideologies?

Interesting. That might be a poor career decision.

[–] ZombieCyborgFromOuterSpace@piefed.ca 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Consider any Postmedia source to be a fascist mouthpiece and it's reporters as fascists.

Same with Rebel Media.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Well, obviously Rebel Media, but also yes to Postmedia too.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

Not surprising since the site also support the genocide in Gaza

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (7 children)

I had to delete my Canadian friends off my social media because they were both rabid pro facist Trump supporters. The last one was celebrating the annexation of Venezuela. It was weird AF

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let me take a wild guess where in Canada they're from...

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She lives in BC the other guy was in Ontario

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Well, I was wrong, but not surprised

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If 1/6 Ontarians think something and 1/2 Albertans think something then there are more Ontarians that think that thing than Albertans.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

as an Ontarian, we have a HUGE blue (conservative) community because of how much of it is rural

and it follows the same shit as everywhere else, blue no matter who, even when they don't understand why. they wanted to fuck Trudeau (understandable tbh), now they want to fuck Carney (not my personal taste and a bit harder to understand, but I won't judge sexual preferences)

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hey, I'm from where you are suggesting, and I'm also emphatically against whats going on. Both domestically and internationally. I think most my age are. The only people propping this shit up are boomers (inherent racism from the 'good ol' days' + susceptible to social media rage baiting) and people that we grew up with that always latched onto minority causes and viewpoints because they thought it was so edgy. Basically the people that were clearly not going to amount to much. It's revenge of the dumb.

Yeah, people get fedfacebooks and YouTube algorithms. I have two people, BC and Ontario, that I had to stop taking to.

One believes all the right conspiracy stuff and believes the biggest issue is rainbows on sidewalks, etc. The other has two daughters and proclaimed feminist, transrights person, but wanted to move to Texas, where they had just removed women's rights. The can't see the contradiction for the "I have freedom and prosperity in the USA"

Not before the Beaverton wrote an article on it.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Oh, look, there are dumb people in Canada too.

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Oh trust me, we got lots.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You haven't met the Canadian MAGAs who demanded first amendment rights in front of a Canadian Judge?

They really just wanted everyone to remember Manitoba.

oh yeah we got tons of those

there's one guy I used to know from school that I still have on Facebook that has been posting increasingly right-wing stuff over the past year or so. it was kind of hard to figure out where exactly he stood, and like I did consider him a fairly rational guy even though he was a little too eager in general (meaning he'd sometimes jump to conclusions or miss investigating something).

but this event has made it very clear where he stands. he's a nazi.

he doesn't present as one. he doesn't say overtly nazi things. but he supports nazis and thinks that only Good did anything bad here, and thus he supports nazis and thus he is a nazi

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 12 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Dang it's almost like letting your enemies own our home turf news media is a bad idea or something...

Nah, that's impossible.

  • Liberals continuing to enable Harper's legacy.
[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't see where Liberal Party members enable the foreign ownership of our media by direct action.

Mr Harper - he who first sold our resource rights to a foreign nation with a chequered relationship - I think wasn't with the Liberals.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

I do, by their inaction. Ratchet Effect.

"the far left" aka the people that just want to live their lives without being shot by browncoats.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

"Verified on Twitter", check.

[–] Amuletta@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

The Sun newspapers have always been trash, so this tracks.
