This evening I watched a podcast where a movement to designate Trump Derangement Syndrome as a diagnosable disorder. There is a history here, that is somewhat concerning. The episode focused on conspiracy theories, hate, and coded language. drcarmencelestini.substack.com/p/conspiracy...

Rachel is an important source of information about the far-right and extremists in Canada. If you can, please support her work.

Starting a series on the history & politics of the #Convoy in #Canada, and why this wasn’t just another protest… 👇 thecohesionproject.substack.com/p/rememberin...

The Identitarian movement is expanding far beyond Europe. A new GPAHE investigation documents 143 organizations worldwide, a 70% increase in social media followers since 2023, and growing ties between leading Identitarian figures and influential political actors in Europe and the U.S Read more:

McAleer said that a sense of belonging, rather than explicit #extremist ideology, is often the entry point. “What I got was acceptance when I felt unlovable, attention when I felt invisible, and power when I felt completely weak and powerless…” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Trump administration has dismantled key programs to combat far-right violence while elevating officials with extremist ties and redirecting counterterrorism efforts toward political opponents, leaving Americans more vulnerable to the country's deadliest domestic terrorist threat. Read more:

Far-right radicalization is thriving in corners of the internet. Extremist forums & communities are glorifying mass attackers and cultivating violent subcultures tied to real-world violence. Sites like Kiwi Farms repeatedly surface in the backgrounds of attackers and extremist networks. Read more:

Military moves are built on uncertainty. Hurry up. Wait. Pack. Pause. Change the date. Repeat. Throw in some drama. Living in constant limbo creates a unique kind of stress where you can't plan even the most simple things in your life, yet you're expected to carry on as if nothing is changing…

Montreal Shooter: 'In this 104 page essay I outline how I conducted my attack in pursuit of a society where women have less freedom and trans people don't exist.' Male criminology professor to the Toronto Sun: "False flag" archive.is/mWg1K

This was first reported last year - surprised on how little attention it received and thankful this is being reported on again by CBC 👇

We aren’t paying enough attention to this and similar threats of #academic espionage in #Canada 👇 globalnews.ca/news/1191617...

Rachael nails it… 🤷‍♀️ open.substack.com/pub/rachelgi...

I have submitted my final proofs of Constructed Victimhood. Given the events in Montreal and the subject matter of my book, this was a sobering experience. Hopefully this book will shed some light on the communities of male constructed victimhood in Canada and the potential for violence.

Steady Brook Falls surrounded by fall colours. Looking forward to seeing this place again this coming October. Fall is always my favourite time for photography. #newfoundland #newfoundlandandlabrador #canada

One more thing on the Montréal shooting: refusing to acknowledge Incel ideology and violence as terrorist in nature is, in and of itself, misogynistic. Misogyny is a political system designed to repress and subordinate women. Denying Incel as terrorism is just one more legal exclusion of women.

Thanks to @sarobertson.bsky.social for clipping this. The purported manifesto is an incel critique of capitalism with calls for a revolution to remake society into a misogynist hell. It takes ideas from the left and right but the common thread is a hatred of how women live their lives in the West.

Recently, I sat down with Catherine Cullen on The House podcast to talk about Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada and how this challenging and complex issue is ultimately about choice and trust. Have a listen: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

In light of the Toronto Sun's article on Jivani's unofficial Task Force, on what he terms "Liberal Racism" (Ending DEI Programs), I wrote a little something about the Trumpian strategy of the Ontario MP. My piece is below the Sun link torontosun.com/opinion/colu...

I had a chat with @rachelgilmore.bsky.social about a new right wing magazine promoting Traditional women gender roles. As always Rachel brings to light what we need to know about what we see online.

Borders are hardening around the world. It's a trend that's now a global reality, driven by rising nationalism, security concerns, economic protectionism, and political polarization. "The End of Asylum. States across the global north are shutting their doors permanently."

Conservative MP, Jamil Jivani is copying some plays from the Trumpian playbook. Yesterday he was busy attacking DEI policies in Canada, and this is not his first time. Seems JD's Vance's close friend, shares the same tactics to prop up hate, and divide society. open.substack.com/pub/drcarmen...

When I was doing research as a post doc I watched hundreds of hours of Rumble videos. So much crap, that I actually missed David Icke videos, cause at least he was interesting and charming. The rest, not so much. Now I watch Love Island UK to erase the hours of hate I watch.

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

The active clubs and their youth movement were very active within these riots. Important here was also their analysis of their performance in comparison with British protesters. The "tribe and train" mentality, opsec training, and community were foundational
