George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse are walking free! They're doing fucking speaking tours!

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

“you have the wrong idea completely” says the professional communicator who has been the main source of info on the topic

this is just me theorizing but i don’t think rw misogynist incels are missing that women are people, specifically, they’re missing that women are individuals

Every centrist podcast bro telling us that sacrificing trans rights is the only way to win in 2028 is overlooking the reality that the logical extension of policing gender expression is targeting cis women who, like, wear pants

Residents in #Ohio held a caravan and protest against the Evandale police and their role in helping to facilitate an armed neo-Nazi demonstration on the I-75 overpass. Residents are furious after video showed police staging with the Nazis in a Uhaul at a school before leading them to the overpass.

how long do they really expect him to live?

“CBC sucks when it comes to normalizing bad ideas. How much publicity have they given Poilievre, despite his vow to destroy it? Why has CBC and the rest of Canada’s mainstream media been so soft in fact-checking Poilievre’s rhetoric?” #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli #CBC 🇨🇦@ianhanomansing.bsky.social

All the media outlets treating Trump's threats to annex Canada like a fun thought experiment is a great example of my belief that many people covering politics think politics are a sport where every outcome is just a different jersey, rather than serious issues that affect real people.

The comment submission form is here for tomorrow’s BS Cross-Country Checkup. If you can’t call in, submit your comments here. There’s approximately zero chance they’ll read comments criticizing the show itself on air but they will have to read them themselves. www.cbc.ca/radio/checku...

If people were really just dying from chronic diseases then how come they weren’t dying from their chronic diseases until after March, 2020?

Hanomansing and CBC playing cute with explicitly fascist expansionism is great. Not a sign of subtly prepping the population for annexation at all.

absolutely insane logic at play here, especially at a time when our public broadcaster is trying to convince the Canadian public of its national value. "your taxes are funding the speedy normalization of American jingoism" is quite the editorial decision!! godspeed guys!

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

One thing lost in a lot of the Alberta health care coverage this week is that the same people who own the chartered surgical facilities ALSO work in the public hospitals AND have positions with the University. Do we see why that may be a problem now?

The Rule of Goats: "If you fuck goats, even if you claim you're doing it ironically, you're still a goatfucker."

I suggest a mass call-in rejecting the framing, the premise, and the willingness to so much as entertain a fascist talking point.

Tell Ian how much of a pile of garbage he is for talking about this stuff like it's just another little change Canada might see.

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

If CBC were Polish, in 1935: "With Chancellor Hitler repeating his desire to annex Poland, we feel it is important to talk about. Even better, for Germans to hear our voices via Nazi SS radio that will be simulcasting." #cdnpoli #CBC #NPR

you shouldn’t tell kids there’s something wrong with them. full stop. it’s not worth whatever benefit you think you’re getting

Freedom of press means freedom to ask this question, which is fine. It's his right. But freedom of speech means the rest of us get to compare the choice to French media discussing the benefits of a Vichy collaborator government, minutes before the actual Nazi invasion.

You mean “the comments” that are a repeated, action-backed, direct threat to Canada’s sovereignty? Or is that “banter”? Is it “Double-Cross Country Checkup,” Ian? Will there be more on this from the Capitulation Broadcast Corporation this weekend, or is “Quirks & Quislings” still in development?

the most disturbing thing about hanomansing is that he’s clearly surrounded IRL by people who agree with his wild takes, which is why he acts so smug and fake incredulous when he gets dogpiled online

Hanomansing’s gaslighting and minimization about COVID had me thinking he was simply ignorant and too arrogant to acknowledge those who spoke out. Now, seeing him apply the same framing to an existential threat to our nation, it reveals what he truly is.

canadas biggest shithead

Republican events for a month now (including Inauguration Day!) have featured a prominent Nazi salute & legacy media outlets ignore it. Seems like a trend worth covering, no? Maybe access to the Nazi party shouldn't be prioritized??

centrists aren’t actually tricked by nazi dog whistles either. they know

CBC is scrambling but sorry not good enough

maybe they’re dying of all the shit we claim is anxiety etc. like long covid

Being radicalized increasingly since 2016 has just been banging my head against this post indefinitely.

Ian just loves lecturing us all on how wrong we are. I really dislike the power differential. It’s very frustrating to me how thoroughly he has ignored what so many folks said to him about airborne transmission and long covid. And he just digs in further to casting himself as hero.
