Opinion | The Globalization of Canadian Rage

β€œThe West is feeling its betrayal turn into rage. The world is waking up to both its vulnerability and its value. But better late than never: We’re all Canadian now.” Excellent piece by @stephenmarche.bsky.social.

Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13)

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil β€” pen ink freezes β€” by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

Everybody has it backwards.

Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.

They’re creating a world they control completely

Pew Research Institute (2023):

β€’ Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

β€’ Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

β€’ Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

I have just learned that a Canadian citizen has died in Iran at the hands of the Iranian authorities. Our consular officials are in contact with the victim’s family in Canada and my deepest condolences are with them at this time.

Maybe because these churches have been more interested in following the GOP than in actually following Jesus?

I’m struggling to process the images coming out of Minneapolis.

Why are people just letting these masked men grab people off the street/drag them from their vehicles?

Where are all the 2A chest thumpers? There’s a lot of talk online, but why aren’t people actually stepping up to these Nazi goons?

The kind of transformation needed isn’t simple or without suffering.

The USA is dying with a moral cancer. Invasive (an painful) treatment is required, not a pat on the head.

I don’t think Americans have the resolve to do anything serious enough.

Look at ordinary Iranians…nothing is more important than justice and freedom.

For Americans, nothing is more important than football.
