See picture.

Look at the example. See how in a Venn diagram they overlap?
I brought it up because the 3 overlap pretty consistently. If you have a rabid nationalistic, fascist or populist movement chances are it has symptoms of the other 2.
That is not to say that rampant nationalism means fascist. Populism doesn’t mean fascism to your example.
I can’t believe I have to explain this to someone but here we are.
Do you even math bro? Look up Venn Diagram examples.
If there was a Venn diagram, populism and nationalism and fascism all overlap beautifully.
I worry for my kids. I’m doing the best I can to keep the anger out of their hearts but Jesus Christ the world is so angry right now and they don’t know where to put it.
Rough times ahead and strongly recommend everyone keep those you care about close.
Wait until we vote in career politician and general asshat PP. We will be fucked in 2025.
LOL.
As a Canadian, good fucking luck.
My gut says you’re overly optimistic lol
People need to understand that when a tech company is “disrupting” it means they’re exploiting legal loopholes.
The amount of times I’ve logged off work with a coding problem only to stew on it for 4 hrs including when I’m laying in bed. I’m not billing work for any minute of that nor would I be able to if I tried. Game is fucking rigged in favour of the employer.
So I’ve been at a corporate offsite all week. I’m sick of hearing about “alpha” and “genai”. Business and leadership are so up their own asses. I’ve been holding back so long on asking a question around the general morality of the bed they’re making. I’m so curious where the future is going to go. We are in an arms race when it comes to LLMs
If you’re FN you’re fucked. Can I interest you in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Lol
Edit: oh shit wait what are residential schools? Almost like we done fucked up!
In all fairness, it is beautiful.
Don’t need to be immortal. Just need to outlive the rest of you fuckers. Then I might be able to finally have some peace and quiet. Lol
I’ve been pondering this one because I grew up a country boy and now live in the city. What you’re talking about still exists. I live in Newmarket, ON and still rarely lock my doors and so all the things you mention.
John Ralston Saul said, and I’m paraphrasing, what made Canadians special was the uniqueness in how we came to be. Our relationship with “the other” now defined as immigrants, comes from a natural place of understanding and respect. You become a Canadian but you also keep your identity because Canada is made stronger by that inter-weaving of social fabrics.
I will agree that our country is hurting but I would argue the biggest threat to our nation is the immigration of American style identity politics that started back in the 80’s and has since escalated to a wave of “Fuck Trudeau”.
I have said before what truly scares me is that the Conservative movement in all their bigoted while male centric policies has realized that they can synergize their vitriol with people who have come here from brutally regressive countries when it comes to the treatment of women, gays and minorities.
Big picture we are going in the right direction but it’s going to be a rough decade or so.
On that id rather die with everyone living outside than the callous fuckers in their mountains. Ain’t no I in team.
Not all of us. Realistically not me (46) or my kids (13, 11, 11) because we are Canadian but in the next 59 years? A lot of poor and brown ppl are going to die and we are going to collectively shrug. I’m genuinely curious what is going to be the event to push rich white countries to act.
Long story short, enjoy the ride. We don’t know what the fuck we’re doing.
Also a Canadian. I heard Rick Mercer tonight he spoke for about 1 hr and he did highlight the right evangelical nonsense. Shit is bleeding up here and has been for decades. It’s scary AF. There are many people where there is no Canadian identity. It’s a proxy for American Identity and as such they’re as regressive as you would expect.
Thank you for a very well explained response. Also in countries like Canada mortgage terms are redone every 5 years on average making us much more susceptible to rate changes than in America.
Nazi Germany as an example was a populist and nationalist movement that rose out of the austerity plan from WW1. Yes it is very much linked with fascism.
What we are experiencing in America and Canada right now is a rise in populism and nationalism which again is dragging fascism along on its heels. Again, they are all very much tied together.
Beyond that I’m not going to argue with someone with their head up their ass. History has proven again and again that Populism, Nationalism and Fascism are all similar and travel together repeatedly. Do they always? No.
