True for other Western countries as well. You have Reform in the UK, AfD in Germany, Pauline Hanson in Australia, and our own PPC & CPC employing similar rhetoric. These countries may differ on which non-white demographic they like to vilify the most, but the overall approach is the same.

There was segregation on the beaches in Normandy. Black and other non-white service men were not allowed to enter the beaches by day. They had to do it under the cover of darkness so as not to offend the white Service men.

💥Exactly💥. My identity is not yours to define. For those who missed my previous post, this is a comment I received from a liberal in an FB group. The context was the Iran war & lack of empathy for civilians there. Out came her racism based on my name & *perceived* identity. ICU nurse in Toronto.

U.S. Strategic Command: bsky.app/profile/verm...

Definition of complicity in war crimes: "support the troops" and "thank-you for your service".

Trump just openly stating his intention to commit genocide at this point: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

Or, maybe the one in India where 100 million Indians were killed by the British. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Being a Canadian with Indian heritage is a 2-for-1 deal because I get racist abuse from both the far-right and occasionally from self-proclaimed liberals like this person. I share these screenshots to illustrate just how normalized this discourse has become in Canada. Call it out when you see it.

1. To forecast with rigour involves first understanding the events in the past that led to the present. As I have stated before, there is a direct line of causation from the political effects of the early Covid response to where we are now: the highest probability of nuclear weapon use since 1962.

This week: U.S.-linked operatives tied to Trump and Heritage are shaping Europe’s networks, while figures like Greg Johnson repackage white nationalism for mainstream entry. Project 2025 expands globally, driving deportation pushes and anti-rights agendas. Read and subscribe to our newsletter:

The Welsh word "hiraeth": One of its definitions is a longing for a home that only exists in the past. I miss many aspects of my life in Canada, the country I am from, but posts like this popping up on my Facebook feed remind me why I cannot—and should not—return. The racism makes me want to vomit.

"On a trouvé un président plus con que vous."

I have semi-facetiously thought of this idea. Citizenship test for everyone (Indigenous people exempted) in order to formally graduate high school. Fail=retake it as many times as necessary. It'd be really more for the symbolism—to remind people that being born in 🇨🇦 does not make you extra-Canadian.

This, along with temperature records, is how you monitor climate change. Unfortunately, we live in the social media age where a few million morons posting "I felt cold last month! There's no climate change!" end up influencing public perception.

It's no accident that the country that gave us artificial intelligence is the one whose population is most notably deficient in the real thing.

So many of our social and political problems boil down to people being unable to relate the same way toward people who look different from them as they do toward those who do look like them. It's often subconscious, too. It's a mental block that people need to dismantle before anything else.

The racist culture that oozes from the Trump administration isn’t at all just white men. We see elected and appointment women, media hosts, voters who proudly hold their part in it. That isn’t new. We credit women the women who oppose racism, so why would we infantilize the women who advocate it?

Thinking about this A LOT since yesterday's No Kings protest I participated in, and seeing white **women**: -driving alone in their cars -maybe with a loan they are allowed to have -with a drivers' license -paid by their own job -from a bank accout ...flip off a bunch of libs and lefties. Inane.

LRT feminism on social media has this tendency to veer to the right in the sense that it always centers white cis women. ive had ww tell me that's because most feminists just ARE ww, and maybe "we" (meaning "all the others") should just organise ourselves instead of "tearing each other up" 🫠

Anti-Indian racism is a real concern in Canada, and it's also baffling on multiple levels. We've had a large Indian population for generations, yet Indian people are associated with immigration. India has a rich mosaic of cultures vastly predating Europe but is considered an uncivilized monolith.

It's true, and it SHOULD be pointed out. We Canadians can't keep going on about how bad the USA is being with immigrants, then literally spout/or excuse the same rhetoric being said about people who immigrated from India to Canada.

This really is spreading throughout the west *very* rapidly

One of my favorite things about Canada is that so many people from different walks of life all share the same home, I can walk to get a shwarma or some Indian food and I can feel the love they have for being here and the community, idk how people can hate on that

"Canada isn't the way I remember it in the seventies" GOOD

Apologies for sharing trash from FB but Canadians aren't aware of how much hatred against Indians has been normalized in Canada in the past 5 years. The meme itself isn't the point; the commentary from random Canadians (mostly, but not entirely, white) dripping with hatred & disdain is. 1/2

There are a few situations as an individual where I might wield more privilege than a white woman. However, there are *many* more situations where the reverse is true; especially systemically in N. America. Dial down arrogance, snark & weaponization of labels, dial up your introspection. Be an ally.

Facts. A white American woman on the thread used the "mansplaining" card with me, a man of colour, when I pointed out they were underestimating racism in MAGA. Ironically, I've spent hours this week reasoning with my (white) sister-in-law who thinks MAGA isn't as misogynist & racist as people say.

A peculiarity of the American worldview (and to some extent that of the entire West, which I'm a part of as a Canadian-French citizen) is that they/we view the Global South as less rational than us. (It's just racism). Have y'all considered that ceasing your attacks is the best way to stop theirs?

What if the uSA was to remove all military assets from the Middle East and offered appropriate financial restitution for the loss of life and the destruction of infrastructure that they caused? That might so a long way towards opening the Strait of Hormuz

I called it a year ago. Looks increasingly likely now.

Chess: The lesser-known #Canadian sport.

One more cultural difference I'm noticing between Canada and France: It's challenging to find chessplayers here. You might not immediately picture Canada and chess in the same sentence, but that's because most people forget just how diverse and malleable Canadian culture is. Our three largest 1/

As a Canadian, I enjoyed watching this Czech comedian roast that racist Alberta couple. They sound like every racist I've seen on FB & X, "Too many Indians in Canada" like one can discern someone's nationality by looks. The kind of people who wouldn't treat me as brethren, just b/c I look different.

They're increasingly brazen with their techno-fascist intentions. What a dystopian future American voters* have signed us all up for. *collectively

"Brown people are prone to violence." And yet the largest nation of brown people in history gained its independence from a violent white imperial colonizer literally through nonviolence.

Hey, Americans, We f-cking told you not to vote trump. Talk about ’cutting off your nose to spite your face’ (those under 40, Google that and learn something). It’s really hard to not shrug shoulders and say, ‘y’all knew the risks and you still chose him, after everything you lived’. Jeezus 🫩

I'd like people to remember that when Trump was practically threatening war with Denmark & the EU (back in January, i.e. eons ago), his advisors suggested Iran as a consolation prize to placate him and his bloodlust. Just so you know why we are in this situation. American people, what ARE you doing?

We have to purge our 🇨🇦 military of scummy traitors like Tristan Armstrong.

There are plenty of YOUNG white men— & young white women —who continue to vote FOR these “old white men” But many white ppl so want to narrow the scope to opt thmslvs out, & to frame it as a “white ppl were duped” rather than “many white ppl still have an unhealthy attachment to racial hierarchy”😶

The U.S. killed six more civilians in a boat strike in the Pacific Ocean yesterday. More than 150 people have been slain in these extrajudicial killings since September 2025. @theintercept.com is tracking them all here: theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Logging in to provide further proof, so all the conservative influencers and “journalists” stop downplaying this. Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald (who showed up to intimidate me) is a SELF-DESCRIBED Nazi. Alex Vriend, who Western Standard platformed, is a SELF-DESCRIBED white nationalist. Receipts.

What on earth does it take to get you Americans off your asses to show this administration EN MASSE that we want this shit to stop?! That we want these fascist NAZIS put on trial for their crimes?! Only 77.3 million voted for this fuck! Why are the over 200 million not in the damn streets?! JFC!!

BECAUSE, they want to stop WHITE women from having abortions, & they don't give a DAMN about Brown/Black kids. Or foreign kids. Or immigrant kids, unless they're White South African, THEN they matter. MAGA is literally trying to create an all white country! I really believe that!

Oh you sweet summer child. White supremacy trumps feminism every single time.

Grossly unethical, even in warfare. I've seen articles citing concerns that Iran could target Gulf desalination plants. They haven't yet, which means they've been more restrained than the Yanks. I just advised my parents (expats in the Gulf) to stockpile drinking water at home.

Almost as if the authoritarian fascist Trump regime, which has killed its own citizens, care even less about citizens abroad in this war of choice Trump has started. I am shocked! /s

MAGA USA is absolutely not part of Western civilization (which itself is far from perfect, even today, but that's another discussion). I am a Canadian and French dual citizen. I have nothing culturally in common with those misogynist, homophobic, medievally anti-science, religious zealots.
