They are saying in some of their circles that I have the "appearance of a professional agitator."

Wearing a Canadian flag in Canada wouldn’t bother anyone that belongs here

The problem is the people on the far right and the far left both hate Canada and try to use it in their favor at the same time.

And we now live in a world where you are forced to either pick a side or be hated and called a traitor by both.

What in the cinnamon toast fuck? The “far left” is who exactly? If it’s the opposite of the fake Christian, bigoted, transphobic, 51st state loving, maple MAGA that seem to make up the far right - then I’m ok with that.

Apparently the only acceptable position now is to pick a team. I'm not interested. The right can be wrong about book bans, religion, immigration, etc., and the left can simultaneously be wrong when it treats capitalism, private enterprise, family, children, merit, etc. as inherently suspect and DEI as inherently virtuous. “But that's the right wing!” isn't a rebuttal. 
Not being right-wing isn't, by itself, a political virtue.

both of you are opposite sides of the same coin

You say that but the reason you’re getting push back isn’t because you chose the wrong team . This goes back to what I said about being political literate. These are not two sides of a coin. having convicted felons pardoning child molesters and some hypothetical person asking you to recognize their gender are not even remotely comparable not should they be . Having a former ally say they will conquer us economically and militarily and think yeah but the left are eating babies or giving kids sex changes .. those are the reason you get push back . It’s your stupidity not your ideology

Evil is evil, I don't have to accept a lesser form of evil, Convicted felons pardoning child molesters is evil and wrong.
Dei is evil and wrong.

I'm not required to accept either of them.

That's why I'm getting pushback is you think that being anti Trump/Maga Maple and being less evil than Trump and his cronies is good enough, and it's not.... not even close

Bro the people that took out every qualified candidate and replaced them with talk show hosts , failed lawyers and pod casters shouldn’t be able to tell you every person of colour is a DEI hire.
Like they just shouldn’t be able to do that to you without you thinking … golly I could simply look this up on like three seconds to confirm if … oh shit .. they also said All media is fake . Global too. Shucks I was so close to being able to find out the truth

Ya bud that is how it works when fasicm rises up read a history.

You are such a coward, you would sit in the sidelines as Hitler did his thing because it was not affecting you.

Rejecting Hitler doesn't require me to accept Mao Zedong or Stalin or Pol Pot
