Omg this thread is unreal ADHD of screenshots and links all in different comments and random amounts of pics in each. Terrible organization. I just can’t.
Thanks for voicing something I had in my head and struggled to define, wow my brain hated this
These need to be links, not screenshots of headlines and social media pics. These need to be verifiable if you want people to trust / share them.
Oh good god. OP provided a comment per link 🥲.
A single comment, hell even editing the original post with all the links, would have been best.
Well I trust every Canadian to be able to verify the information they are given. All of these articles are real and you can read them if you want, google is free. The right wing populists are spamming fake information, Postmedia networks churns out hundreds of posts a day. I’ve been fighting disinformation for 2 months none-stop, please just spread the word. SPREAD THE WORD, PP IS A FASCIST
Well I trust every Canadian to be able to verify the information they are given.
Did you miss the whole convoy thing?
Well I trust Canadian’s on this weird unknown reddit copy* Any maple MAGA here? Some of these are lost.
“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
“Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”
-Hannah Arendt
It’s not about being able to verify, it’s about the amount of effort to verify. I.e. people are lazy.
Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived
This is quite ironic seeing how you’ve posted something that qualifies as “the worst” without any verifiable evidence.
Canada Proud is a MAGA propaganda page.
trying to make it simple since I’ve read literally hundreds and hundreds of articles and publications and documents in the last few months, trying to condense the message. You are intentionally putting your head in the sand
The most contrarian people are always the ones unable to do simple google searches and do cross examinations. You obviously are a desperate Maple Maga. I’ve linked a lot of documents in this thread, come back when you’ve read them. Or you’re gonna say the next classic cons comeback “I ain’t reading all that”, the pure celebration of stupidity and ignorance
If you don’t want to follow other people’s suggestions on how to communicate your information better, that’s fine. But insulting people who are just offering friendly suggestions (and explanations) is not ok.
Despite what you have seem to believe, I actually agree with your post’s general thesis. It doesn’t really matter to me whether you believe that though.
This is a beautiful compilation but it could use links. Faving for future reference.
Duuuuuuude. 🤯
Russia has been conducting hybrid warfare on Canada, just like in Europe. It has been documented that they facilitate the movement of refugees they himself create through war, like in Syria, and instill them into western societies. They then pay them to commit crime and terrorism.
X is spreading propaganda through pages like Canada Proud and others, that are then reposted by conservatives MP’s.
Canada needs to ban X asap
How the well-honed playbook for whipping up authoritarian populism is being employed here and around the world. Former Canadian PM Stephen Harper, whose International Democracy Union helps hard-right leaders get elected, with one of them, Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán, who gushed: ‘International co-operation between right-wing, conservative governments is more important than ever. Chairman Harper is a great ally.’ Photo via International Democracy Union. If the polls hold, Pierre Poilievre will be our prime minister and Donald Trump will be ruling the United States, which — according to the Orange One’s own words — will no longer be a democracy. Trump will act as a dictator on “Day 1,” he’s declared on Fox News. According to the world’s most indicted politician himself, a U.S. Trumpocracy will run along the lines of strongman Viktor Orbán’s increasingly undemocratic Hungary. Poilievre makes no such claims of course. But if he wins along with Trump, both countries will be part of the worldwide drift towards hard-right agendas tinged with authoritarian contempt for democratic institutions including a free and fair press. The tactics for steering ships of state sharply starboard are similar around the globe, having changed dramatically in the last 30 years. Today’s political campaigners, particularly on the populist right, rely far more on attack ads and tearing down one’s opponent rather than presenting one’s own plans for the country. Brilliant polling is done to find out what issues people react to emotionally. And the internet is played like an algorithmic Wurlitzer to convert whipped-up fears into devotion to cult-like leaders. That’s one of the reasons that outside influence on democracies has become such a burning issue around the world these days, including here in Canada. Although the Conservative Party of Canada initially singled out and hyped Chinese foreign interference in Canadian politics, largely because it made the Liberals look bad, the CPC has been strangely quiet about China since the federal government granted Justice Marie-Josée Hogue a two-month extension for her inquiry into foreign interference in Canadian elections. The inquiry’s initial report is expected to be tabled on May 3. In a Globe and Mail column, Andrew Coyne suggested what might be behind the uncharacteristic silence from Pierre Poilievre. Coyne wrote that both China and India may have interfered in the 2022 Conservative leadership race. Poilievre crushed his opponents on the first ballot. A record 613,000 new Conservative memberships were sold. A top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service assessment from October 2022 indicated that both countries interfered in the leadership race. /Which brings us to the International Democracy Union, or IDU, a global organization run by former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper that is dedicated to electing right-wing governments around the world. Membership extends to the extremely right-wing. Last year Harper met and fawned over Hungary’s Orbán, who pronounced Harper “a great ally.” If you want to see what sort of global club Canada will join if governed by a Poilievre-led Conservative party, a look at IDU’s membership — including the recently scrubbed — can be informative
