    Some of his ideas, like defunding CBC, are foolish.

    I don’t think Pierre Poilievre is a Nazi. Statements like that are unhelpful.

      People said the same thing about MAGA/Trump.

      Conservatives are holding the door open for fascism, and if you can’t close it, it will come in.

        “Progressives”/Liberals are straight up begging for authoritarian dictatorships.

        I missed when calling for smaller government, less regulations, less red tape, untouchable free speech, and less censorship suddenly became “fascism”.

          PP was part of the Harper government which muzzled climate scientists, has made an enemy of the free press and implemented a racist snitch line to report religious minorities. Yeah, that’s the kind of “free speech” Poilievre believes in, the kind that shut the fuck up and doesn’t contradict the party line. So yeah, he’s a fucking fascist and you are a fucking idiot to think he is anything but a fucking fascist.

                If the government end a government program, it’s not “censorship” to remove said program from government websites lol.

                    That’s not “censorship”. Nothing is being “censored”. The goverment ended all DEI programs in their ranks, so they removed all DEI programs from their websites. Do you think they should keep advertising DEI programs that no longer exist?

                    Lol you need to try harder at trolling

                    What is it with Lemmy and accusing everyone who dares to have an opposing view of “trolling”? What exactly in my posts says “trolling”?

      Oh ffs. Stop playing it down. Look at the riding he’s being given. Battle river. It’s conspiracy city. Far cry from Carleton… I know that part of Alberta well . I’m telling you right now: it ain’t good . He went from serving coffee to the convoy to living with them.

      Step off with the gaslighting. This is the type of exact crap the Americans just went through. Knock it the hell off.

      PP is a populist conservative politician so he’s not actively fascist, but do you know what happens when your society has a fascism-shaped hole? Politicians like PP expand to fill that hole.

      The dude is aligned with trump and is a fascist. I wouldn’t call them nazis just yet, but they are certainly very, very fascist.

      I work in a very conservative workplace in Alberta, and when I call trump a fascist I get zero pushback. In fact, they just nod in agreement. When I say that Peter rabbithait is aligned with trump, they don’t argue against that point either.

      The “good ones” know their support for him is short lived, and they will have to piss or get off the pot soon. I hope goodness prevails.

      Hey, just wanted to say you’re right. And these people here are bad faith commentators. They push things towards hyperbolic statements in the same way the right went nuts in their own way.

              If you use the word nazi enough it won’t mean anything, and you will push awayl soft support. They are fascists plain and simple.

              Just call them that for now until one of them gets their Hugo boss uniforms on, then you can call them nazis.

              No, what you’re doing is lazily leveraging the nazi context for your political benefit. PP is not a Nazi for having a photo op or being tangentially associated with some asshole. It’s as lazy as showing pictures of people with Epstein and calling them pedophiles because they were in a photo.

              It’s bullshit politics. The sad part is that you will never realize how it’s your credibility that is lost. And unfortunately since you associate with certain values, you lose credibility for the whole. There’s reason to shit on him for spending time with these people. But when you go hyperbolic and dramatically call him a Nazi, you lose the plot

              The democrats did/do all of those things too. Installing “loyalists” to top jobs is what every admin does. Biden did it. Obama did it. Everyone does it.

              The media example is dumb. There are dozens of media, most highly critical of the trump, allowed in to the White House briefings etc. What 60 minutes did with that rambling Kamala interview deserves to have consequences, as they deliberately edited it to make her look better so as to not hurt her election chances.

              Also just FYI - the Nazis were a socialist party. They were left wing.
