    Fascists tools are creeping up all around us and i do not know what to do. Why do politicians not only NOT stop this but enable this and try telling us it is for own safety? The worst part? People all around me are so full of fear that they eat that shit up.

      We don’t teach logic and critical thinking in primary school. The average Canadian doesn’t recognize when they’re reading, seeing or hearing false information. And these days, that misinformation is being consumed faster than ever.

        It’s all Canadians, even my friends who specifically work in the mis/disinformation sphere are still susceptible, they’re just more aware that they are susceptible.

      It’s the late 1920s all over again.

      Same tired fear mongering, same economics at play.

      We just don’t learn from the past.
