It is being used that way now. The danger is rising quickly, and it's not just south of the border. It's here, and there are groups working to advance it and trying to leverage it for their own benefit. The warning lights should be flashing for anyone paying attention.

And, pretty sure he'll never mention the persecution of Christians in Jerusalem by Israel...

I listened to him saying that and the first thing I thought was it's an intentional dog whistle to all the Christian nationalists, white nationalists, and residential school deniers who hold onto the churches burned in the summer of the Kamloops residential school news as a point of grievance.

Talking about churches being attacked across Canada one day before NDTR just screams that he wants to play upon those grievances and feed into those narratives which are also closely tied to great replacement narratives and the superiority of white Christian civilization that Charlie Kirk and his movement were also all about.

It's really gross, disturbing, and dangerous. Not only is he spouting utter lies, but he's willingly feeding the flame of far-right white Christian nationalism.

I'llreply here again on the irony of accusations of propaganda coming from an account with 850 posts in 7 months seemingly non-stop driving the same agenda.

Funnily enough, whataboutism is exactly the same accusation Hotznplotzn brought up in the last thread on this type of topic where we interacted a few days ago, Hotznplotzn being another account created 7 months ago with 3,200 posts in that time also driving the same agenda.

Almost like you guys are reading from the same manual.

Accusations of "whataboutism" get thrown around by people taking a particular approach any time someone raises a point that isn't just expanding on the specific focus the accuser wants the interaction to stay on.

So, keep your accusations of "propaganda" for yourself and let some people who aren't driving an agenda have a normal interaction.

The propaganda technique? Lol, the irony of this coming from an account with 850 posts in 7 months seemingly non-stop driving the same agenda.

How about that American interference? No? Nothing on that? Okay...

We are likely going to be pouring a tonne of public money into providing security for a resource supply chain to feed the US, with resource companies likely largely owned or controlled by US interests with profits largely flowing to the US.

Also, kind of funny how "freedom of navigation" is such a clarion call for activity off one coast, but when it comes to our coast that's opening up as a new trading routes the call changes to urging militarization, defense, and keeping others out.

I understand he's trying to communicate the idea of a Palestinian state that agrees with the idea of Israel also existing as a state, and that he's trying to walk a line where he upsets the fewest possible stakeholder groups, but it just comes across in a way that probably pisses everyone off. The double standards are also just absurd. The expectations placed upon the Palestinians after they have been victims of genocide are so much stricter than anything he ever discusses for Israel after they have been the perpetrators of a genocide.

I am not really surprised, but that is still hilarious.

Wow, can you point to one place where I said there's no foreign interference?

I feel like I'm interacting with someone who read about medical benefits of some health technique from a credible source and now believes every huckstery health influencer trying to sell a product on top of the narrative.

That's basically what a think tank like this is.

Yes. Credibility matters. New information being introduced by a source that has credibility issues should be seriously questioned.

Okay, so now you're just repeating "I don't care about questionable credibility because they're confirming something I care about."
