On a seemingly unrelated (but definitely related) note: They also introduce New York City Mayor Eric Adams (a well-known public figure by now, I would think?) as "current New York Mayor Eric Adams (who happens to be Black) [sic]."

In defence of the Antifa terrorism designation, the National Post published an article arguing that Hamas faced similar issues to designate because - like Antifa - Hamas is said to be "an ideology as much as a political group."

But they dont want to be antizionist. They want to be antisemitic.

Spotify's search may be doing its thing on you. Maybe try a different device. On my end they are available on Spotify under the same artist name and album name as they are in the Apple Music screenshot above.

An easy story for reporters in tech and extremism right now might be to ask major music streaming platforms why they quietly let Skrewdriver back on some time this year

"anti-2SLGBTQIA+ bigots are good so long as they acknowledge and oppose the genocide in Gaza" is another Yves Engler take I see in my replies so this all checks out too

Another time I posted about a Synagogue mass shooting and Yves said I an "anti-Palestinian bigot" who ran cover for a "jewish supremacist govt" because I was working for a Canadian federal government grant at the time. Of course Jackson Hinkle would be into that brand.

I haven't read all of my messages from this guy but one I did read was defending Anya Parampil (another Fuentes ally) from calling Jews "a Synagogue of Satan" b/c at least she acknowledged the genocide in Gaza. Buddy is just the dril racism dial tweet personified.

This guy used to hang out in my mentions to defend bigots like Nick Fuentes under the guise that I unfairly targeted antizionist bigots (I don't). Y'all have got to stop treating him like a serious candidate. He just wants attention, good or bad, to throw a hissy fit and make content about.

The magazine typically couches outwardly transphobic and antisemitic articles behind tamer ones and antivax stuff. It's distributed widely and tolerated in gas stations, wellness places, organic grocers, etc. Check your chiropractor's waiting room, organic grocery store, and own mailbox for it.

Druthers Magazine - which distributes roughly 200,000 print issues across Canada a month - got really, *really* antisemitic in their last print issue. Issue suggests Christians may want to take violent vengeance on the Jewish people. Also incl. 10 paragraphs praising Holocaust denier Ryan Dawson.

John Rustad's BC Conservatives' advertisement on the far-right blog Juno News comes a couple days after the blog published an op-ed praising a white nationalist conference by a Canadian group co-led by a man involved in multiple white supremacist networks.

Instead, Californians get media controlled billionaires who propose working with Holocaust deniers and block editorials which might piss off Donald Trump. And they're supposed to accept it when these guys get the easy treatment in progressive media.

NatPo did add a sentence disputing the FN claim and put an update notice mentioning it was "edited to reflect concerns around the status of the Kawartha First Nations." I do appreciate this, as they have made similar fixes without adding this note. But it does not mention the supposed "reserve."

The 1st version of the article, written by Michael Higgins, (a journalist of 40+ years) repeatedly mentions a prayer service by Feucht at a "First Nations reserve." It does not name the reserve. Feucht had no such plan, and the group which brought him has been alleged to be a fake Indigenous nation

The National Post again published an editorial based entirely on a false pretense then quietly refurbished it. This time it was an interview with a First Nations "Chief" about Sean Feucht "cancelling a prayer service at a First Nations reserve," except the man wasn't a FN Chief & it's not a reserve.

3/ Likewise, the accomplice at the subject of the criminal complaint, Daniel Park, was not meaningfully engaged in opposing the pro-life movement. The complaint mentions abortion once, and it is in the context of Park disparaging abortions in favour of abstinence.

1/ Something I haven't seen reported on in the extremism beat yet: Last week, at least one US court began grossly mischaracterizating violent attack planners with no connection to abortion politics as "anti-pro-life," despite no targeting of the pro-life movement.

Interesting article. I do think it's uh, a little harsh to say a rival content creator has the "same job" as Myron Gaines - a vocal Nazi Germany sympathizer who platforms human traffickers and white supremacist on his podcast - just because they're both sensationalist click-baiters.

Sorry Jason one correction here - the Black Sun isn't Norse, it's German, and the predominant concensus isn't that it was appropriated, but first appeared in Büren in the 1930s. Similar sonnenrads (sunwheels), eg. one with 8 rune arms, are sometimes used by Norse pagans. Hochman RTd the 12 sided one
