There’s a bookshelf in the mailroom of my building to take/give books.
I take the Bill O’Reilly, Hannity, MAGA books for my personal collection called “Paper Recycling Bin”
Save the planet & Democracy.
Blocking Fox News on all their TVs is a WIP.

This is one of the rare cases where I would condone book burning. Light then up!

Haha! One book was found by a mom who has shared in our FB mom group that it’s going in her wood burning fireplace. Glad she took it.

I know what I would do if I came across those books. Right in the trash

Cowards.

One of our local moms found one of the copies and is tossing it in her wood burning fireplace.

Yep, I live here.

I've lived a violent-free life, safe for a few fisticuffs in elementary school. Bullies would send me over the threshold of civility. I find myself exploring that same headspace in reaction to these adult bullies who prey on the vulnerable.

The rise of white nationalism is being perpetuated by the oligarchs taking control of the world, they use the power of hatred.

planetmoon.bsky.social•15 days ago

The power of fear.

minibubbly.bsky.social•15 days ago

Thank you for postings, Cheryl.

Canada = free speech, yes.
Canada ≠ hate speech.

No American style free speech in Canada.

You get freedom of thought and expression, and that expression is limited.

So pleased to see folks refusing to normalize this rubbish.

The skinheads are still around in Ottawa or they had kids?

patboivin.bsky.social•15 days ago

One time in the 80s a fascist's farm was raided in the outskirts of Ottawa and the police found mortars. They seized them and didn't insert them in the gun registry I imagine. Of course the media wasn't notified, this is Canada. Since then I've been wondering what else we don't know.

annaoba2.bsky.social•15 days ago

If only it were just skinheads.

tiina-liisa.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yup. It's all those people being fueled by PP's reformcon hatred.

patboivin.bsky.social•15 days ago

Their only source of inspiration is a subset of passages from the bible. Nothing else has authority over them.

I have a replacement theory; take out the white nationalist books and replace them with immigrant stories and stories written by Jewish authors — I think that’s a great replacement theory
