Canadians live in a real world but are governed through a state of exception. #PacificLink, #StateOfException, #PoliteFascism, #LandBack, #AntifascistDad

The posters aren't explicitly described in this the article, but I've seen photos shared on FB. They're bog standard conspiracist memes blaming Jews for COVID and abortion. The same exact memes I've seen online MANY times. Printed out and plastered around the neighborhood of the synagogue shooting.

Canadaland Platforms Antivax Grifter, out now on Conspirituality Podcast. I gotta add something about why Jesse Brown might want to focus more on the ACTUAL antisemitism of the antivax movement if he’s going to platform cranks like Peter McCullough.

The day after an antisemitic antivaxxer attacked a synagogue, Canadaland published an interview in which Jesse Brown got dog-walked by one of America's leading antivax COVID grifters, Peter McCullough. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/328-canadaland-hosts-anti-vax-grifter

328: Canadaland Platforms Antivax Grifter — Conspirituality

Canadaland’s Jesse Brown recently hosted anti-vax charlatan, Peter McCullough. It didn’t go well.

This Saturday on Conspirituality: "Mark Carney, Davos Catholic. If he was just a manager-technocrat, he wouldn't be able to cast such a spell over followers while presiding over a final boss neoliberal regime. There is a low-key religious dimension to what he does.

Updates from the pro-Israel lobby: #AviLewis should remember that God killed Jews who argued with the authority of Moses. And Canada should start prosecuting people who protest Israeli war propagandists who speak under the auspices of religious worship.

When he says “climate” his focus is on the financial climate. When he says “security” his focus is on financial security. When he says “risk” his focus is on risk to the financial sector. #TragedyOfTheHorizon, #MarkCarney, #ClimateFinance, #TragedyOfTheCommons, #AntifascistDad

At a Lloyds of London banquet in 2015, and in his 2023 book, Mark Carney absorbs an anticorporate position to make corporatism more friendly, and eventually, fascism more polite. #PoliteFascism, #MarkCarney, #TragedyOfTheCommons, #ClimateCapitalism, #AntifascistDad

In 2015, Carney gave a speech to a Lloyd’s of London banquet that showcased his skill for making rich people feel warm and fuzzy and responsible and smart with pseudointellectual hackery. I think it helps explain what we see today. Part 1. #PoliteFascism, #MarkCarney

“There is something so powerful about remaining clear, coherent, and committed about material reality, and not being taken away from that as part of the political project to make us feel small.”

Why send aid into a genocide without conditions on the country committing genocide? What's the hope? What's the deal? #MarkCarney, #Gaza, #CanadaArmsEmbargo, #BoardOfPeace, #AntifascistDad

The Carney government’s accelerating conflation of antizionism with antisemitism targets the left, and can lead to dangerous outcomes. #IHRA, #Antizionism, #CASEReport, #FreePalestine, #PoliticalRepression

Sean Ward, who opened fire outside the Belleville synagogue on Yom Kippur, was likely a second wave QAnon guy, discharged from the CAF for refusing the COVID vaccine, and radicalized through antisemitism. There’s no indication it had anything to do with Israel, or antizionism.

Carney and the frictionless flow of capital and investor ease. Resistance might be low because of consumer training. #PoliteFascism, #MarkCarney, #Frictionless, #BillC39, #AntifascistDad

As economic conditions for regular people worsen and the Carney class continues to sell their resources out from under them, patches of right wing violence will spread. Carney will surely say some stern words about it. That’s what polite people do.

Let's make "Carney's Polite Fascism" trend. #PoliteFascism, #CarneyWatch, #Gramsci, #CapitalOrder, #ManufacturedConsent

All leftists should study Carney. His politics are easy. More complex is his skill at affect—ennobling patriarchal capitalism, offering the illusion of secure attachment. Anybody who thinks they can bypass the Frankfurt School in sussing him out is playing with half a deck.

Carney’s god-tier skills are 1) to normalize the abusive intentions of capital through the affects of moderation, security, and wholesomeness. And 2) to reassure the world’s wealthiest people while making regular people think he’s reassuring them.

Evangelicals tout the scourge of "toxic empathy." Gad Saad, his ire aimed at antizionist Jews, has a best seller on "suicidal empathy." All in time to attempt to suppress political support for the soaring number of victims of our polycrises. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/326-the-war-on-empathy
