Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Don't believe their lies. Conservative policies have never and will never help working fishers and havervesters.

Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Its ridiculous. Like I think we'll probably get another cabinet shuffle post-election if they win, so I'm not too worried. But not addressing women, Quebec, minorities, or labour in your cabinet is a signpost of where you stand. 090
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Of course these ghouls want that. They are profiting off of the destruction of the Earth. We are out of time to play these games. We should be going much further than just carbon pricing! 020

Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 14/03/2025I don't like Mark Carney. The second last thing Canada needs right now is an invest banker running the country. Unfortunately, the LAST thing Canada needs is an alt-right politician like Poilievre who doesn't care for Truth, freedom, or justice! 010
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Pierre Poilievre needs to be considered a threat to our national security. In this moment, his rhetoric, tone, and policies match MAGA almost 1:1. He does nothing but lie and slander his political opponents, to the extent that @davidwcochrane.bsky.social had to debunk them after his speech. 130
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Respect to Rep. Frost, he's been generally good since Trump got in, but Trump is not Putin's puppet. Trump and his regime have their own imperialist and irridentist goals. Framing Russia as in the right gives creedence to whatever actions the American state will take overseas. 030
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Yes for sure! I've had a look at Bernhard's article but it was a while ago. But yes, the trials in the 1650s. Very unusual! 010

Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Fascinating! I've recently been looking at incidents of witchcraft in the Somers Island Co record. Some surprising instances! 110
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I can tell just by this statement you haven't really done "street action." Those organizers are not simply "normie libs," they are activist concerned for their community and I'd wager many were in the streets for Palestine as well. 040
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I love how you started this by being like "how are Biden/Harris close to Trump/fascism at all?" And when we make cogent points you can't respond to you just insult people who are outraged by genocide. Good to know you're okay with innocent children being slaughtered by an ethnostate tho 020
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 26/02/2025Pretty sure he's talking about the systemic murder of Palestinians that the Biden-Harris administration facilitated over the last year and a half. Not to mention their rightward pivot on immigration and economics. 3120
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Canadians need to start realizing that buying Canadian products will not save us. Capitalism is the problem that has continually lead us down the road of oppression and tyranny. This stretches from racial slavery to the rise of fascism to our current moment. We need to reject consumerism. 030
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Joe Biden was actually fairly good on labour. But it wasn't just Republicans blocking those bills. There are several in the dem party who were not Joe Biden who opposed rasing the minimum wage and the PRO act. 010
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I actually didn't know this slang until now! Very interesting. I will say I think for the majority of Canadians, they wouldn't make that association. 040
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 30/01/2025That is not what goof means lol. Goof just means silly, dumb or a mistake. If someone is "goofy" it just means they're being silly. If you "goof" up, it means you made a mistake. 130

Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Its so infuriating to see people draw this distinction and pretend the working class is entirely white/straight/male. It's a shared struggle, and the bourgeois take advantage of these intersections of identity to further oppress all workers. 120
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 30/12/2024So many edge-y atheist in these comments tryna be contrainians. The fact of the matter is that the most logical conclusion of a preponderance of evidence is that there likely was a historical Jesus. This says absolutely nothing about the literal historic truth of Christianity. 130

Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Man this is social media. Next to nothing on social media is "activism," its just discourse. Activism happens in the streets. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Brother literally nobody said that and I agree with you on your point about the strike. We don't need to engage in bigotry to do that though. (If you look at the timestamps, I sent this reply before you sent yours) 110
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 23/12/2024So your solution is to... say slurs? How does that do anything? You have absolutely zero historical or material analysis in your POV and it's warping your mind. You're playing the right wing's game when we need to burn the fucking board. 110
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 23/12/2024This is the dumbest-ass take I've ever seen. You can "fight fire with fire" without using slurs, even if you're a part of that community. 220
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024So funny that he apparently wants a debate yet blocks me as soon as I have an answer he doesn't have a comeback for. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Lol I'm really trying to have these convos in good faith, but I'm always disappointed by the result. Your approach is very cathartic. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Direct action, donating and supporting mutual aid causes. Pressuring local govts and courts to make the right decisions. Organizing working class, low income, and marginalized people to fight for their rights. I am also personally in favor of harm reduction voting. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024I was literally fighting for my life on here against a liberal who was persistant that protest is "slacktivism," "whining," and saying leftist are a hindrance to Black rights. 180
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024The New Deal Dems actually did pass some great programs, but its been a downhill trajectory in terms of economic policy since. Those in the party who want to push for this progress are out funded and screwed over by the party. They don't serve you, they serve their corporate donors. 000
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Why would settle for crumbs? Vote dem sure, but fight like Hell to get them to do something. What is so bad about that? Hillary tried that, until she started getting donations from Healthcare execs. Idk if you've paid attention since the millennium turned, but its been that long. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024I literally never once advocated against voting. Why are you against protest? The only thing I've said in this thread is that leftist push for progress through a variety of means. They are not the enemy and protest is good and necessary for change. Why can't we all he united on that? 000
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 20/12/2024So once again, I'll ask. What's your take? What's your solution? If I don't get an answer, I guess you're just some kind of troll. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 20/12/2024The Republicans of the 21st century are fascists, and if I was American, I would've voted Dem. I focus on direct action and funding because none of the parties in the US and Can actually want to make change. Also, just one example, Aris T Allen was a Repub politician and active in the NAACP. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 20/12/2024The Democrats, and some earlier civil rights activist joined the Republican party during Reconstruction. And, many others joined no political party at all. Some made their own party outside of electoral politics, like the Black Panthers. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 20/12/2024So, according to you, the only way to make change is to run for office or vote. And protest or anything else is useless, performative, and bad actually. This is an insane take. 100
Kyle Johnson @kyleajohnson.bsky.social · 20/12/2024All of them seemed office after engaging in direct action and protest. They made great contributions to civil rights, but to pretend that civil rights were won because of party politics is just not true. 100
