In their own words
“Arm yourselves. Today. If you're worried about the law, you're worried about the wrong things.” - Jeremy MacKenzie, 2025
“You gotta harden your hearts. So if hearing people talk in a very aggressive and offensive way is too much for you, are you really gonna be able to stomach like men, women and children being loaded onto fucking boats at gunpoint so they can be sent back to India? Like if the word, you know, “n****r” is obviously like the most offensive one, if that is too much for you, I seriously doubt your ability to have the intestinal fortitude to stomach what needs to happen because what needs to happen is very aggressive and extreme.” - Alex Vriend, 2024
“‘Are you gonna, are you gonna suggest deporting the Jews?’ Yeah. Yeah, I think, I think we do all the time.” - Alex Vriend reading and responding to a comment on his livestream, 2024
“Give me some guys and some weapons and we'll fucking get rid of them. We'll take them up. Get in the truck, you're going to the airport. ‘Make me.’ Okay, bang. Anybody else? Anybody else not want to go to the airport? Who wants to go to the airport? Show of hands, who wants to go to the airport? I only had to shoot one, see? Easy. - Jeremy MacKenzie, 2024
“It's funny, this all started as a joke. Making YouTube videos, but then we got noticed, right? The Prime Minister had said our name in the House of Commons multiple times. So, we realized that we can move the needle in politics in Canada. So we decided to take it a little bit more seriously.” - Derek Harrison, Road Rage Terror Tour stop in Carp, Ontario, 2024

So im against capital punishment

Having said that,vi find it hard to see a way to continue society with types like these alive. They are hell bent on murdering men, women, and children, to get what they want

What they want plus dumb and impossible, of course, but they want it anyway and they don't care who has to suffer

These group members need at the very least be locked up for life if anyone wants to be able to live a normal and safe life..

and now you see why gulags are necessary after revolutions

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, no.

Not a fan.

I'd rather see us put in wealth caps, nobody can have a net worth of over a million, anything over that goes to taxes

With that people all get similarly rich, income can normalize world wide and with that, nobody will have absolute power anymore. With that, issues like immigration become much much smaller and influence of extremist groups goes down with it

You do understand that we live in a class society where the rich control the media, fund political campaigns, do lobbying, and so on. There's a reason this whole notion of wealth caps isn't happening. The working class population has no leverage in the political system by design. The only way you can create a society where you don't have massive wealth inequality and exploitation is by putting the working class in charge. And people who benefit from the status quo will literally fight to the death to prevent that from happening.
