I think the greatest weakness of modern conservatism is longing for the past & failure to scratch below nostalgia. Good jobs were in abundance in the 50s. Not necessarily because of any policies we abandoned. But because the rest of the world had been laid waste by war. I think few understand this.

Together, they make up “the largest white nationalist network in Canadian history,” according to @antihate.ca’s new piece.

At Juno Beach I realized that the democratic values that I had taken for granted didn't just happen.
They were paid for at an immense cost of lives and sacrifice.
Would we be willing to pay the same sacrifice if the darkness descended again?
