    Are you talking about those antivax pieces of garbage who harassed homeless people and local businesses because another country wouldn’t let them across their border?

      It’s never okay for a government to freeze it’s citizens bank accounts. Let alone for political reasons, that’s fascist as fuck.

        I think people with swastikas on their flags are usually considered fascist.

        Maybe look into the paradox of tolerance.

              Yes, I’m not aware of another one? EDIT (For those that’ve only seen the movies, there’s a lot of discussion of propaganda and governance in the novel, it’s not an “action novel” like in the show, it’s a commentary on fascism among other things)

          Make a fine for people who support nazi ideals. Don’t stop people from being able to pay for food with money they already earned.

            Do you think it’s wrong to freeze the bank accounts of members of al Qaeda?

            What’s the distinction between a member of al Qaeda and a Nazi? Both are foreign groups that use violence to get their way. Both groups are considered enemies of Canada.

            Should members of al Qaeda be allowed to do as they please in Canada because “they just have different ideals?”

              If a member of al Qaeda has a legal job that he gets paid for, he should be allowed to have the money he earned. Money for work is so basic.

        Ahh, good ol’ right wingers using words they don’t understand to make arguments they don’t fully comprehend.
