  1. To quote Hitchens, "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.". Therefore no argument against your dubious claim was required No market socialists also believe in public ownership of means of production but with supply and demand market signals instead of central planning The Nazis believed in very much in private ownership. And of course true Nazi eugenics program was about the burden on the welfare state They were strongly capitalist. The Nazis placed great emphasis on private property and free competition. It’s true that they intervened in the free market, but it was also a time of a systemic failure of capitalism on a global scale. Almost all states intervened in the market at the time, and they did so to save the capitalist system from itself. This has nothing to do with socialist sentiment: it was pro-capitalist. In a way, there’s a parallel there with the way big banks were bailed out by governments after the 2008 financial crisis broke out. That, of course, did not reflect socialist intentions in any way, either. It was merely an attempt to stabilize the system a little bit…State interventions at that time took place in agreement with industry. The capitalists even demanded it, because free-market policies are not always in the best interest of capitalists. They sometimes need the state to succor the free market. So, interventions were not simply imposed on the economy by the fascists — it was a consensual development reflecting requirements by many important sections of industry. The goal was essentially to steer the system in favor of big business….That someone like Hitler could become the “leader” of a major industrial nation was, after all, the culmination of certain widely held views about economics and about the due limits of popular, political agency. Hitler’s policies met the wishes of many industrialists — which made him so attractive to large sections of the bourgeoisie and the educated classes. The National Socialists were seen as liberating the economy from unnecessary burdens of political and humanistic sensitivity. https://jacobin.com/2022/08/nazi-germany-national-socialism-hypercaptialism-social-darwinism-liberalism That’s not true at all. In fact it’s the opposite of Truth. The “socialist political types” across the western world organized volunteers from all over Europe and North America to fight Hitler and his fascist buddy Franco in the Spanish Civil War while the “right” praised Hitler’s business acumen. The founder of the “America First Committee, an isolationist pro-Nazi, antisemitic organization opposed to us involvement in WW2 (prior to pearl harbor attack), was the Republican hereditary heir to the Quaker Oats company whom RonalReagan later made a US ambassador. The organization chairman and many of its prominent members were active in the Republican Party. Some self-proclaimed socialists were pacifists and so opposed the war and some were even initially affiliated with America First on that basis but none admired Hitler. Uh nope that’s not how it works, those terms have actual meaning, you don’t get to make it up and change them whenever it’s convenient. The political definition of “right wing” doesn’t mean “freedom”. Libertarians can be left wing or right wing, the free love hippies of the 60s and 70s for example were left wing and libertarian. George Carlin is another great example. It has not even been 20 years or so that true libertarians began to identify with the conservative/right wing, most considered themselves independent or third party prior to that. There is literally nothing in NAZI ideology or philosophy that is “left wing” or “market socialist”.
  2. Go meditate on that, Putin Puppet Lie Lie It was all of them, but Republicans are the party calling for more mass incarceration.
  3. Bother of the mugshots below were taken after the perp was arrested for trying to overthrow a democratically elected government History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme
  4. You know the Republican party had finally arrived in the 21st century when they allowed a Hindu named Vivek Ramaswamy to even speak publicly much less run for leadership. Compare that to recent failed Republican leadership candidate named was Priyush Jindall but who refused to publicly acknowledge that he came from an Indian immigrant Hindu family and who identified as a white evangelical Christian named “Bobby” (it’s not an earned nickname he made up the name himself). As to the OP, intelligent people have always known to take politicians and advertising with a grain of salt, and have always had the ability to discern the difference between fact, opinion and hyperbole and critically assess information on its own merits. Todays right wing however tries to claim that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to fringe theories and reject the widely accepted reality is a sheep who cant think for themselves and who will believes whatever others people tell them. If you believe the world is round instead of flat it means you’re a blind follower who can’t think critically To be a an independent thinker in their view means you must believe the opposite of what most people believe. Hilariously though they came to their fringe beliefs not by thinking critically but by blindly following others and deciding that they will believe whatever that person says, and to be clear they are usually blindly following specific individuals like Trump or Tucker Carlson wheras normal people are not blindly following specific personalities but rather accepting what they perceive to be rhe broadest consensus
  5. So the 33 million is not the existing GTA but a proposed “Toronto Megaregion”. While they don’t define the exact borders its basically all of central southern Ontario and Niagara between and interlocking with an “Ottawa Megeregion” and a “Southwestern Ontario Megaregion” so I think we can safely say it’s at least something like Barrie in the North to Niagara in the South, Guelph in the West and maybe Peterborough or Belleville in the East. Note that the existing growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (which is just the GTA and adjacent communities along Lake Ontario shoreline between Oshawa-Niagara) is already forecasting 14 Million by 2051 We have very low housing density compared to Europe and the age of thoughtless urban sprawl is long over for a number of reasons
  6. The world’s biggest Russian collusion stooges are you goofs who support Putins invasion of Ukraine and push all your ridiculous “Biolab” and “Jewish Nazi” nonsense The ones who oppose marijuana legislation are Republicans.
  7. As established in Nuremberg, “following orders” gives no protection for war crimes. There is a duty to disobey such illegal orders. Also there were no orders specifically to brutally and sadistically torture that youth to death for hours
  8. Funny how the party who armed Iran, the Taliban, the Latin American Drug Cartels, Al-Qaeda, waged a brutal “war on drugs” against its own citizens, caused the unprecedented fraudulent humanitarian disaster known as the second Iraq invasion, admires Putin, and denies global warming in the face of constant natural disasters…. tried to steal an election and end western democracy.
  9. Only one of the 4+ paragraphs you posted mentioned PP or the CPC the rest of what you posted, included the article title and subheading, was baseless diatribe. LOL ok bub. Absolutely false. That’s like saying Osama bin Landen was a Jew or that Trump is Antifa. Hitler and Nazism were fundamentally and unapologetically overtly anti-socialist. It was literally a core part of their identity and it was official Nazi policy to jail and/or execute socialists. The problem here is that you don’t have an accurate definition of “right wing”. The term is not synonymous with freedom. There’s are and have been right wing dictatorships. See political spectrum below, Hitler and other fascists are top right.
  10. There’s plenty of land and plenty of vertical space without paving the greenbelt
  11. OMG you’re such a sucker for obviously fake news, it’s hilarious. Seriously you have zero critical thinking skills whatsoever
  12. Don’t try to pivot. Regardless of what PP and the CPC may or may not support, the article falsely claimed that there is no such thing as the “far right It also falsely claimed that Liberals are the true heirs of fascism Fascism is literally the standard of “right wing” authoritarianism The COC may not be “far right” but they certainly wink at them to keep those votes from going to the People’s Party.
  13. Even wildfire can’t stop Convoy nutjobs from raising their ugly head again, preventing firefighters from doing their job. RCMP condemn self-declared convoy that wanted past Shuswap wildfire blockade Police say group challenged officers stationed at roadblock RCMP condemn self-declared convoy that wanted past Shuswap wildfire blockade Police say group challenged officers stationed at roadblock Lachlan Labere about 8 hours ago about 7 hours ago A photo of the blockade on Highway 1, from Aug.23. (Facebook) Police say Mounties were confronted by a group of people intent on crossing a roadblock on Highway 1 to access an evacuation order area in the Shuswap. The incident occurred Wednesday evening, Aug. 23, after Chase RCMP received reports of a large group of people mustering with food and supplies destined for the evacuation order area in the North Shuswap. “It appeared that the intentions of those involved were to overwhelm the police roadblock and gain access into the area…,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. James Grandy in a media release. “The group later challenged the BC RCMP officers stationed at the roadblock into the area currently under order.” Grandy said an increased police presence has been in place in response to “ongoing efforts by some individuals who have undermined BC Wildfire Service fire suppression work through the movement of vital equipment and have compromised emergency personnel safety through threats of violence.” He stressed the evacuation order area is not safe due to continued fire activity, as well as damage to powerlines and unstable trees and structures. … A post shared on Facebook by a “Convoy of Truth and Freedom” called for a gathering at 6 p.m. at the Shuswap Community Centre parking lot that would leave promptly at 6:20 p.m., travelling down the Trans-Canada Highway to Sorrento. On Wednesday evening, the BC Wildfire Service shared and quickly removed a social media post stating in response to safety concerns, its unit crews, heavy equipment operators and structural firefighters would be reassigned from the North Shuswap to other areas of the Bush Creek East and Rossmore Lake wildfires. https://www.vicnews.com/news/rcmp-condemn-self-declared-convoy-that-wanted-past-shuswap-wildfire-blockade-3020991
  14. The “Blacks for Trump” nutjobs will definitely stand with with any Trump supporters, KKK or otherwise, and will say all kinds of crazy things defending slavery. The only real militia members are the tight wing terrorists who attacked the Capitol and tried to kidnap a governor.
  15. What a bunch of revisionist claptrap, even for the National Post. Every right winger is a near-centre moderate and none hold views lore extreme than the other so none cane be called “far” right? All those violent right wing white nationalist Trump supporters in Charleston, the Proud Boys, Patriot Front and the Oath Keepers and others all of whom support Trump and get in brawls with Drag Queens….what, don’t exist? Are left wing? What? On the history side of things, Hitler was the darling of capitalists, industrialists and anti-communists who despised FDR and his “socialist” New Deal and they openly raved about how Hitler transformed the Weimar Republic from a failed state into an economic, industrial and military superpower in just a few years. Hitler jailed and murdered socialists and communists by the thousands, Karl Marx was the Nazi’s Great Satan. The Republicans were opposed to going to war with Hitler. Fascists in Italy and Germany as today are extreme social conservatives anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-immigrant, And their identities are heavily based on promoting “traditional values” and “traditional families“ including the woman’s proper role as a housewife and the husband as the “head of the household” German and Italian Fascists swept to power in a wave of anti-intellectual, anti-elite, low-brow populism and its only the Right that is embracing that in the West As for forcing private business to advance government agendas look no further than DeSantis and Disney. Meanwhile not allowing businesses to pollute and insisting that businesses must obey the law like everyone else is hardly fascism and is not “forcing them to advance the government agenda” anymore than not allowing people to rob, murder or speed through school zones is forcing them to l advance the government agenda”.
  16. That’s not cackling that’s the sound of me barfing from tue stench of your bile and idiocy. The anti-nausea meds aren’t working either. That doesn’t even make sense. You’re not clever enough at this comeback game.
  17. That’s where all the overt KKKers end up…on the Republican fringe…while Trump winks at them.
  18. Keep reading…. After failing to gain any traction within the Democratic Party, he gained the presidential nomination of the minor Populist Party. In December 1988, he became a Republican By the late 1990s, Duke had abandoned his pretense of rejecting racism and antisemitism, and began to openly promote racist and neo-Nazi viewpoints. He then began to devote himself to writing about his political views, both in newsletters and later on the Internet. In his writings, he denigrates African Americans and other ethnic minorities, and promotes conspiracy theories about a Jewish plot to control America and the world.[9][10][11] He continued to run for public office through 2016, but after his reversion to open neo-Nazism, his candidacies were not competitive. .., Alt-right Duke has written in praise of the alt-right, calling one broadcast "fun and interesting"[167] and another a "great show".[168] People for the American Way reported Duke championing the alt-right.[169] Duke described them as "our people" when describing their role in Donald Trump's election as president.[170] And then there’s this… Former KKK Leader David Duke Says 'Of Course' Trump Voters Are His Voters Camila Domonoske Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke talks to the media at the Louisiana secretary of state's office in Baton Rouge, La., on July 22, after registering to run for the U.S. Senate. "The climate of this country has moved in my direction," Duke said as he announced his candidacy, one day after Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination for president. Max Becherer/AP Editor's note: NPR spoke with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, who supports Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, because Duke represents the way in which white supremacists attach themselves to Trump's campaign. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke is running for U.S. Senate and tells NPR that he believes he'll be getting the votes of Donald Trump supporters. And he reiterated his own support for Trump, saying he's "100 percent behind" the Republican presidential candidate's agenda. "As a United States senator, nobody will be more supportive of his legislative agenda, his Supreme Court agenda, than I will," Duke said. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/05/488802494/former-kkk-leader-david-duke-says-of-course-trump-voters-are-his-voters Former KKK leader endorses Trump for president again – and Tucker Carlson for VP Perhaps the US’s most renowned racial extremist has long supported what he sees as the president’s white nationalist agenda https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kkk-trump-david-duke-tucker-carlson-election-2020-a9609491.html Yeah cut out that laughter please, even with the meds I can still hear you.
  19. LMAO keep posting you’re just proving that you’re crazy. Also personally I don’t think there’s anything particularly insulting about being called a “slut”. The people who use that word as a hateful attack on others just sound like they have dead hookers in their basement. Given your unhinged nonsense I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest.
  20. KKK has been Republican for decades pal. ever since Democrats decided they would be the party of progressive liberals rather than the party of farmers and labourers and conservatives were no longer welcome Meanwhile Nixon’s Southern Strategy expanded the Republican Party base from wealthy urban elites and industry to capture the rural and southern vote Remember David Duke, KKK Grand Wizard and Republican candidate?
  21. LOL You make up the craziest sh-t! THE KKK endorses Trump and half the MAGA cult is submerged in various beliefs about Jewish conspiracies. Meanwhile most Jews, Blacks, women and visible minorities vote Democrat You’re an absolute joke, right down there in the forum basement with the other certified kooks like R10 and Taxme.
