Watch: Inside Canada's new far rightpic.twitter.com/YU10AXOZ13

how could anyone be a bigger threat then white supremacy.. i- and the far right don't have enough attention from mainstream media / discourse. Not enough people are talking about how dangerous these folks are.
-
Identity politics are not only utilized by the right, but they are far more visable &recognizable on the right. The fact that they are recognizable makes them less dangerous. White supremacy, for instance, is called out & publicised (rightly so). The far left hides in plain sight
-
K-Jam what groups you know belong or are associated with the far left . Just curious?!!!
-
Sometimes people embody the beliefs of the far left without consciously being aware. If you are engaging in identity politics with specialized rights being your backdrop, you may be representing the far left. I'll continue in a further tweet.
-
People who trump rights over responsibilities, group rights over the rights of all, blame problems on others instead of taking personal responsibility and oppose capitilism are all (largely) far-left in ideology. It's unfair to lable whole groups as "far-left", but large portions
-
Of some groups could easily fall into this category. If I start naming groups, I'll be fending off Twitter keyboard Warriors forever. I'm not making this my cause in life, merely advocating for further light to be shone on the extreems.
-
It would seem in many ways that the light was shown on the far right far too late, but now it's under the spotlight. Good. Let's not make the same mistake with the far left.

Mm, “both sides” argument. Please remind me when last extreme liberals killed a conservative Christian congregation? Or maybe it is our sarcastic humor creeping into mainstream, hurting feelings of racists, fascists, and neonazis?
-
How was Christianity treated by the communists? How would you characterize the Russian leadership currently, and their policies towards descent? How is descent dealt with in China? Should we allow our institutions to incorporate socialist identity politics into the mainstream?
-
Famously leftist and socially progressive regimes like *checks notes* modern day russia and china. Ok.
-
Being leftist and socially Progressive are not tied at the hip.
-
Then why do you equivocate identity politics in the US with China and Russia just one tweet later? ( https://twitter.com/KevinJamieson86/status/1122277780354260992 … )
-
Because identity politics are not socially progressive. Addressing inequalities is not the same as giving specialized rights or unduly limiting the rights of all. If this didn't answer your question then I didn't understand your question. I'm living my life while trying to reply
-
Okay. Let me go back and rephrase so we're dealing with this on your terminology. Why do you equivocate identity politics in the west (which I understand as among others things being positive about queer people) with russia and china (who famously oppress gays and lesbians)?
-
Why do you put western leftist politics (which in the US are currently interested in things like affordable housing, medical aid, education, funded through taxes on the rich) in the same box as modern day china and russia (that are not interested in any of those)?

Yeah.... coz the antifa is anti-pipeline and you can't handle that. Or, to rephrase, how many people were murdered by lefties today? And how many were murdered by the alt-right?
#poway shooting -
We're have I said anything about pipelines? Just lable me away, and feel self rightous.
-
Well, ya know, Alberta and right-winger...
-
And now you label me as a right winger. Because I'm right of the far left? Smh.
-
You started with "far-left".... which basically hasn't existed since the bolshevik era, especially in Canada. Pity too, Western Canada used to be a good place, back when the farmers & CCF ran it. Now that the West is owned by oil, they've really become d***-wads.
-
Just because YOU cap see the far left manifest does not mean it's not there. It might mean that you don't know how to look for it, which is very common. I'm no expert, so I will not instruct you personally, but I see it advancing it's cause using identity politics in NA.
