Seems like white Christian ethno-states are all the rage these days

Apologies I misinterpreted

In Ottawa Canada, the swastika flag is flying at a "Freedom Protest" thanks to our right wing government's dog whistling these idiots for years. They have common ground in their hatred of LGTBQ, immigrants, and non-christians

Not to derail, but if you equate giving a 9 year old a rifle to a fishing rod, I have some stats for you.

How many antisemetic incidents do you think happened in (for example) 2020?

Organized hockey in Canada is the same. You don't run up the score in a game that's out of reach for your opponent. In the sports world, it's seen as classless and petty.

I'm not even sure the protests were meant to be political. They were protesting over-policing of black people. It seems that was politicized as well.

Regardless of how they fared compared to everyone else (I would argue they had the potential to do a lot better) the pandemic was in fact politicized. Somebody was wagering on something.

Yes. You can a see lot of the anti-science noise on social media stems from accounts of people of religion. Another group I have encountered is the "Joe Rogan" white male, always-had-things-go-my-way-until-now crowd. That group also buys into the culture war drama as much as the religious right.

My first recollection of this being a political issue was Trump stating at one of his (much publicized) rallies in the early days of covid that that the seriousness of the virus was a "hoax by the Democrats". Not sure if this was the origin or not. I'm not totally against the notion of...

How did it happen? When did it happen? There is a bit of horse-shoe theory happening here, but for the most part it's a right/left divide. Was it inevitable? Was it avoidable? It is very polarized in my home country Canada and the USA, but is it the case in the rest of the world? Very curious...

Yes. The same article stated that the genius of Tik-Tok is that it needs very little information about the user to know their behaviour. Facebook likes to brag that they know when a woman is pregnant before she does because of her search queries.

An AI scientist (I don't have the citation) once wrote that humans present almost no challenge to AI because our behavior is easily predictable.

Yes. Nothing good was going to happen with this kid running around the streets with a weapon. The US is so bizarre.

RW political messaging is hampering the US moving forward. They are going to forever pay $200 for a vial of insulin because they can't stomach the idea of paying into a universal health care system that might help someone they don't "approve of". In Canada, our national radio station has been...

That all seems pretty vague. I can give you a very specific example of a fabrication of wokeness and it's effectiveness as a political tool by the right. 4 days ago a Virginia Rebublican won his election for governor. Surveys indicate he won that race, fueled by women, who voted based on...

I think you put too much worry into "woke". I can't say for sure what it means to Europeans, but in NA it is just another manufactured fear tactic by the right, in an endless line of right wing fear mongering. It fits perfectly as a subsection of their replacement theory narrative, and...
