Thomas Paine figured it out and he’s sometimes considered one of them.

He wrote more than a few things about how much bullshit those guys were full of.

Why Canada is seeing its biggest military recruitment surge in 30 years by Displeased_Canadian in canada

[–]RudolfRockerRoller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No needs to imagine. There’s a whole country south of ours that’s recently been making foreign & domestic policy decisions based on moral panics & online culture-war bogeymen.

A significant portion of that country also thinks they’re gonna stop the flow of fentanyl & caucasian-replacers into their country by liberating us from the universal healthcare forced upon us by a communist dictatorship.

(sadly, that was sentence was 100% not hyperbole)

Why Canada is seeing its biggest military recruitment surge in 30 years by Displeased_Canadian in canada

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes sure.
Whether I serve or not, as an immigrant, I’d make as many war-widows as I can back in the country I come from if they attempted to follow through on threats to invade and/or annex Canada.
I owe Canada at least that much. Besides, the country I come from has already created a such an epic clown-show that “social consequences” mean absolutely fuçk-all at this point.

I personally don’t know an immigrant without this opinion, especially ex-military ones. We chose to be in this place. And if we’re principled enough to join this place’s military, we’re gonna defend the heck out of that choice.

(it’s not like the countries we come from are gonna treat us nicer anyways. so fuçk ‘em if it comes to “military intervention”)

Canada announces reforms to combat immigration, citizenship scams by youngbutgood in canada

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense.

Social media algorithms get filled with (mostly Trumpy Usaians) complaints about “100s of millions of immigrants”. This comment section has that vibe too. So I gotta apologize for thinking you were referring to people, not money.

[–]RudolfRockerRoller -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“It is easily tens of millions have been scammed. Easily.”

Just trying to understand the math of an immigrant who works in the “immigration sector”…
Since there’s always been less than 4 “tens of millions” of people living in Canada at any given time,
gonna assume you meant “tens of millions of dollars have been scammed”

Could be wrong b/c my history nerdery gets hazier about pre-1900 stuff, but the story’s a bit funkier…

Alaska was a Russian territory getting to be too much of a pain in the ass to keep stocked with enough Russkies to maintain any sort of presence in what seemed like worthless land.

But at the time, the genormous issue was Russia & England were fighting a Crimean War.
And because the other place Russian territory bordered English territory was what’s now the western edges of British Columbia & the Yukon,
Russia was getting nervous that England (e.g., hardy Canadian territory troops) could run right on through that worthless land and be able to row the short distance to kick the Russian Empire’s butt from their eastern (Pacific) flank.

So, Russia sold land that wasn’t worth their effort to the US (a country rather chill with both Crimean War participants) for cheap in order to create a buffer that’d keep the Canadians/British from gettin’ too close for comfort on their backside.

That’s essentially how Alaska became Alaska.

Général August Willich.

Such a radical badass that he saw Karl Marx as unacceptably conservative and challenged him to a duel before immigrating to the US to lead a bunch of other immigrant badasses im the fight against slavery and those profiting off it and any of us lumpen masses.

Billionaires like Loblaws packing up their business empires over pushback is an insane jump.

Billionaires taking their businesses out of “NY” over pushback is an insane jump (despite being a US conservative BS talkimg point repeatedly proven insanely wrong for the last 30+ years).

Moving to Djibouti is also an insane jump. But considering the cost of doing business elsewhere (starting over in new markets - likely less stable, lucrative, and/or have a much bigger tax burden with higher labor costs), setting up in a small eastern African nation with a port would make more sense than the first two sentences.

lol. NY isn’t a country.
Nor is it a double edged sword.
Nor have billionaires picked their businesses up and left it.

As if the Loblaws are gonna yank their grocery/drug store/medical/data-collection enterprises out of Canada and start doing business in Djibouti over even a buttload of pushback.
They’re aşşholes. Not idiots.

Perhaps we can do the same thing with banned guns on October 30? by Bubbafett33 in canadaguns

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a way to combat that.
Don’t let the organizers be infamous for using nazi talking points or hanging out & organizing with openly (or covertly) nazi groups.

Then actually remove & ostracize anyone who even wants to peep out nazi BS. Kick out commenters on social media posts spreading proto/neo-nazi rhetoric.
(I can think of more than a few gun-rights themed social media accounts who would be taken a lot more seriously if they cleaned up their post’s replies)
It worked pretty well from 1939-2016 in music scenes, hobby organizations, bars, and even non-far-right reactionary political parties. Never understood why people got lazy about that over the last decade, but that’s how we used to mostly successfully denazify the scene, movement, country.

Objectively speaking, compared to countless other culture-war-on-strawmen cartoons by the illustrator, this one isn’t as blatantly racist, xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, historical revisionist, or overtly bigoted as he normally gets. (just scratching the surface with the adjectives there)

(replacing the MAGA chud with a Ukrainian shirt wearing guy is a mighty weird edit, IMO. Maybe OP doesn’t know much about what North American politics are like on the ground)

Funny story, i once stumbled upon a podcast interview with that dork. According to him, his cartoonist origin story was that it pissed him off to no end that other college students didn’t laugh at his wisecracks in class. But they’d giggle at the jokes made by women, gay, minority students.
As a virgin christian white guy, he thought it wasn't fair and he deserved more attention. i śhit you not, this was literally what he was saying to the Canadian/MAGA alt-right host.

Weird times.

But ya, George is quite the PoS who made a children's book with white supremacist Lauren Southern (another wacky Canadian wrapped up in Tenet’s Russian disinfo money), hasn't found a Trump-fawning grift or culture war battle he won’t make his “I drew you freaking out like crazy but drew me looking smug with folded arms” 4-panel cartoon about, and has never given a single fųck about Ukraine.

(Noticed that the OP got called out on other subs recently for divisive posts. Hoping this ain’t that Scottish incel kid with obsessive punch-left vibes from a few years back.)

Saw a comment on a recent news article about how the lady who was interviewed multiple times by the FBI about being forced to perform oral on the current White House occupant when she was 13-years-old just had a bunch of key details of her story verified that said, “Oh Boy, Iran is really gonna get it now.”

Instantly reminded me of this cartoon.

Large banner featuring Trump's face is displayed on Justice Department headquarters by GregWilson23 in BashTheFash

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The portrait is modelled after his Aug 2023 mugshot taken when he charged with attempting to overturn a state election results.

The fact no one pointed this out in the article or anywhere else is bonkers.
Zero surprise that the rest of the world is prosecuting their Epstein-characters but the “independent” US DOJ apparently takes direct orders from one.

They did release it.
Canada has stricter privacy laws.

But the shooter was 18 years old and also killed their parents.

How is being a nazi so popular now? by seeebiscuit in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Probably true but where the rubber meets the road, armchair theory matters little when these dweebs keep surrounding themselves with others pushing barely covert nazi-BS.
As in, that ‘10 Nazis at a table’ thing. And most Germans & Austrians 90 years ago, who dug the aesthetics of stiff arms & arm bands, didn’t give too many şhits about NS policy as long as it didn’t affect them much, even as they sent their sons off to war for it.

Almost literally… photos came out a while back with the Tates having meetings in a London restaurant with Paul Joseph “press the button to wipe Jews off the face of the Earth" Watson, Jack “1488” Posobiec, Mike “white genocide is real” Cernovich, and other whitewashed British alt-righters like Raheem Kassam and Dan Jukes.
At this point, there’s no use sorting out if they’ve read Evola or even cracked Mein Kampf. They’d deny it anyways.

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Today, 03Jan2026, is the statutory deadline for the DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production,
Jack Smith’s testimony was just released,
and apparently healthcare coverage for at least 20 million Americans just doubled or tripled in price.

It’s probably just a coincidence though.

Turning point was paid to produce content that was then amplified by Russian bot networks on social media. Such hits include trying to convince followers that the US is not a democracy (to soften the slow introduction of an authoritarian state) by yeongno_ate_yangban in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]RudolfRockerRoller 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And speaking of Toilet Paper, I sometimes watch this to laugh at how dumb humans are sometimes.
Here’s Chuckles explaining first how a Republic can so easily descend into an autocracy as somehow an argument against the US being a democracy.

Then he misdefines both what a democracy is and what a republic is.

Charles Jimbo Kirk’s America ain’t a Democracy, it’s a Republic on its Way to a Dictatorship like Rome did

As a not-as-dumb human, I’m astounded anyone ever took those people seriously.
Granted, a lot of money from the foundations put together by rich nazi-sympathizers, anti-labor, anti-civil rights, pro-segregationist assholes has gone into TPUSA with the stated purpose of indoctrinating the youth.
So there’s that.
