"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

Excellent thread compares the tactics used in the rise of Hitler's Nazis vs today's rise of Fascism (And I'll add that in early 2016 my father had warned about all of this. Dad warned that Trump is exactly like Mussolini. He also warned that the GOP fool the public by using Hitler's Big Lie gambit)

The U.S. new tariffs of 50% on art is making it extremely hard on all Canadian small creative businesses. + Last month, Canada Post also decided they would stop shipping to 9 EU countries because of another new tariff situation. So that’s 90% of my business down the drain because of trade wars.

People will ask WHY do they load companies with debt. The answer is very simple, there is no tax on paying 'debts' and the people and companies collecting the 'debt' are located in Tax Havens. It means they pay no tax at all.

Let me tell you about 'Privatization'. In the 19th century EVERYTHING was Privatized and it was terrible. And in all of the history before that everything was Privatized. This is not a new idea, it is an old poison and it needs to be destroyed as it was in the early 1900s.
