8. The Nitty Gritty: Capitalism & Fascism

Because trans rights are human rights, and human rights are healthcare rights.

Fight back here in Canada before we see shit like this on our doorstep, breaching weak points in our hard-fought protections. So fuck Jordan Peterson and fuck PP for platforming him.

If you have anti-trans friends with "opinions" on people's lives who have literally zero impact on yours... Human beings whose decisions are best left between them and their medical professionals then please reflect on the deflection propaganda you are consuming - Because that's what it is. And you should be angry for being manipulated.

If you think your personal views are harmless, well multiply those by millions, and you'll have the answer to why we're witnessing fascism is the US. Because that's what it is. Extrapolation.

Science, ethics, and basic human decency don't have your back, it's not too late to be on the right side of history. Because as this video concludes, the trans fight, is a fight for you.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out

• Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out

• Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out

• Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me

• and there was no one left to speak for me." ~ Martin Niemöller, 1946

Every accusation is a confession. Make no mistake, despite alligator tears of Musk, I *still argue that perhaps not literally planned (mygad I'm beginning to sound like the conspiracy theorists I rail against... except, yanno, all I hear is crickets from them when *actual conspiracies are taking place, these people would have called the Civil Rights movement a conspiracy) so while the specifics may be unplanned, make no mistake - this falls neatly in line with stoking hatred to enable a "it will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" response. This is still mere *weeks*into this administration.

To bring it home to us in Canada, jfc the NDP gotta get their shit together, cuz the Libs are just gonna cement a disaster capitalism response and further capitalize on the moment to solidify nationalism which in turn furthers the by definition unsustainability of global capitalism.

Fascism is a feature, a symptom, not a side effect.
