Beware of psychic intrusions that tell you your yearning for fairness and dignity for all people is contaminated by bigotry, like an original sin that you can never confess enough and purify. #AviLewis, #Antizionism, #FreePalestine, #Socialism, #DoNotBeAfraid

A devout Catholic, Carney manages to make many feel like they should be respectful and polite and not make a fuss during the high mass of finance, in which crisis is transformed into eternal life. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-mark-carney-davos-catholic

Brief: Mark Carney, Davos Catholic — Conspirituality
Matthew examines how Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has paired an 18-month austerity rampage with approval ratings near 60%.

Five days after the National Post published Yoni Goldstein's thinly-veiled incitement to violence against Avi Lewis: not a peep from the political class or legacy media. But they didn’t rebuke Israel’s ethnonationalists for using the language of religious extremism either.

The posters aren't explicitly described in this the article, but I've seen photos shared on FB. They're bog standard conspiracist memes blaming Jews for COVID and abortion. The same exact memes I've seen online MANY times. Printed out and plastered around the neighborhood of the synagogue shooting.

Canadaland Platforms Antivax Grifter, out now on Conspirituality Podcast. I gotta add something about why Jesse Brown might want to focus more on the ACTUAL antisemitism of the antivax movement if he’s going to platform cranks like Peter McCullough.

This Saturday on Conspirituality: "Mark Carney, Davos Catholic. If he was just a manager-technocrat, he wouldn't be able to cast such a spell over followers while presiding over a final boss neoliberal regime. There is a low-key religious dimension to what he does.

Updates from the pro-Israel lobby: #AviLewis should remember that God killed Jews who argued with the authority of Moses. And Canada should start prosecuting people who protest Israeli war propagandists who speak under the auspices of religious worship.

When he says “climate” his focus is on the financial climate. When he says “security” his focus is on financial security. When he says “risk” his focus is on risk to the financial sector. #TragedyOfTheHorizon, #MarkCarney, #ClimateFinance, #TragedyOfTheCommons, #AntifascistDad

In 2015, Carney gave a speech to a Lloyd’s of London banquet that showcased his skill for making rich people feel warm and fuzzy and responsible and smart with pseudointellectual hackery. I think it helps explain what we see today. Part 1. #PoliteFascism, #MarkCarney

Sean Ward, who opened fire outside the Belleville synagogue on Yom Kippur, was likely a second wave QAnon guy, discharged from the CAF for refusing the COVID vaccine, and radicalized through antisemitism. There’s no indication it had anything to do with Israel, or antizionism.

As economic conditions for regular people worsen and the Carney class continues to sell their resources out from under them, patches of right wing violence will spread. Carney will surely say some stern words about it. That’s what polite people do.

All leftists should study Carney. His politics are easy. More complex is his skill at affect—ennobling patriarchal capitalism, offering the illusion of secure attachment. Anybody who thinks they can bypass the Frankfurt School in sussing him out is playing with half a deck.

Matthew Remski @matthewremski.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Carney’s god-tier skills are 1) to normalize the abusive intentions of capital through the affects of moderation, security, and wholesomeness. And 2) to reassure the world’s wealthiest people while making regular people think he’s reassuring them.
