No you won't, and you sound like an idiot. Revolutions only create better buying opportunities for disaster capitalists.

Fasciphobia is not Russophobia or Sinophobia or Indophobia. Fasciphobia is not targeted at any people or any culture. It is targeted at tyrannical power structures, be they state structures or corporate structures. Not people.

If you think Trudeau should mollycoddle the #wexit separatists in Alberta, history shows us exactly where that leads.

Capitalists prefer plutocratic feudalism over capitalism, and naturally move in this direction. The conspiratorial part of it is when their lobbyists run government, through their web of revolving doors and undisclosed conflicts of interest. Ontario is the worst. But it's a global phenomenon.

Quote:
“An apple a day keeps the woke media away,” joked Poilievre. Later, he envisioned U-Hauls pulling up “at what used to be the CBC headquarters,” a reference to his vow to defund the CBC, which in most of rural Atlantic Canada provides the only reporting that isn’t provided by SaltWire.
Who is Jeff Poilievre, where did his millions come from, why does he not have security clearance, and why does he hate maritimers?
