A far-right party in Canada is imploding over a 22-year-old staffer’s extreme posting online.
I got my hands on audio from @antihate.ca that might leave Canadians asking how the hell someone like this got into politics at all.

The apparent implosion of OneBC seems to centre largely around one staff member - Othman Mekhloufi, who OneBC staffer Wyatt Claypool said (on X) has "insane race 'blood and soil' politics."
We have audio of Mekhloufi from August talking about political strategy.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?

People throw around “neoliberalism” far too much, but the meaning of neoliberalism is to use markets to solve any and all problems. In a way it’s a “relief” to face the barest, most gunmetal version of the thing, if only to marvel at it before it eradicates us.
