    Just having the debate was what she wanted. Now she gets to grift on “freeze peaaaach!” and how she’s so persecuted, plus the lie about BLM == Marxism gets more oxygen.

    This is the most wild deranged centrist take I’ve heard in a while. Like sure the Nazis have their hateful symbols but so do the other sides, and in that way they are totally equivalent.

      That’s not a centrist take

      She’s a nazi, she frequently appears as a guest on a neo-nazi podcast.

      Her followers kept sending in threats so they had to move council to online only for safety

      Then her followers called in with a bunch of nazi imagery on their camera that prompted this ban proposal

    A symbol of equality is similar to a symbol of genocide? I love American conservatives

    Edit : sorry to everyone I started to use American for the continent and US-Americans for the shithole but forgot that it is not wide in use. Sorry to everyone all Canadians I angered, squared screws rock
