Please don’t elect Temu Trump (Pierre Poilievre) or Trump’s useful idiot Doug Ford.

    Do you want a state massacre of leftists?

    I don’t know much of American history, but have heard of McCarthyism n all. They purged leftists based on doubts.
    If one tried to take out someone who is now an elected leader, then they’d be doing the stuff they did in Indonesia and Guatemala, mass killings.

      Not even that. The Green Scare in the 00s beat it into our heads that if you so much as think about burning an oil rig they’ll imprison your friends and ramp up emissions.

        Why would you burn oil rigs tho?

        Wouldn’t you want them to be used more carefully, with proper pollution control?

        Or was it near people’s homes, who were getting health issues?

          Well because I didn’t want to say bombing them on the internet. Or burning buildings associated with ecological destruction. And i forgot about other things like spiking trees (the spikes break chainsaws in a way that osha is not happy about)

          Eco terrorists didn’t really care about you using proper pollution control when drilling for oil compared to the potential of forcing you to stop drilling for oil.
