There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

The standing ovation in Parliament today to honour Charlie Kirk was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen from that building, and I gotta tell you, that list is long
A brief minithread (from just one of his Canada-bashing shows)
"Canada being our neighbor to the north has indulged the last 40 years in liberal government and their decline is steep. I'm sorry, 16 years. Huge explosion of housing prices, a incomprehensible immigration flood, like hard to even grasp." - Charlie Kirk

The racist hate mobs are coming to Christie Pits on Saturday Sept 13.
The choice is provocative. This is where people fought the Nazi's in Toronto in 1933.
There will be a huge rally in the park this Saturday at noon to show the haters they aren't welcome.

Polls show Canadians are overwhelmingly prepared to hold the line against Trump to defend our sovereignty.
PM Carney ran on #elbowsup.
Then arbitrarily dropped the digital sales tax.

Hm I wonder who the loud voices are and why they would want us to believe that there’s a growing disloyalty movement in Alberta? 🤔
Loud voices might make you think otherwise, but Albertans are more committed to Canada, not less:
"While 22% identify primarily as Albertan, more than 3/4 see themselves as Canadian... support for an Alberta-first identity [is below the 28%] found in 2020."

One in four people in Alberta identify as Albertans first, Canadians second, Nanos poll finds
But poll also suggests that voluble separatist forces in the province only represent small fraction of the population

Jon Voight and his manager making up a plan for the President to "save Hollywood" is bad enough, but the Tariff Otaku reading it and only remembering the minor mention of tariffs and forgetting everything else is probably worse.

Even when your president says it is "unlikely" that he will use military force against our country it still worthy of a resounding response.
Right?
