Why RIP when it was like that for decades now because in Canada there are “anti-hate” statutes and laws against spreading “false news” that have been applied to Holocaust deniers and white supremacist groups. As is the case with most countries in the world.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:From Brazil to the United States, Hungary to New Zealand, right-wing extremist ideas and groups are posing a grave threat to democratic societies. Within this context, the ongoing support U.S. President Donald Trump receives from parts of his base despite the drop in his approval numbers and the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 reflects the continued evolution of a global threat. As New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden emphasized after a right-wing terrorist killed over 50 people at a pair of mosques in her country, “there is no question that ideas and language of division and hate have existed for decades, but their form of distribution, the tools of organization—they are new.” If there is any hope of repairing those divides and advancing equality, rule of law, an inclusive civil society, and respect for human rights, the United States needs to work with other countries and multilateral organizations to build a coalition to combat the growth and spread of right-wing extremism.
Nearly 20 years after the attacks of 9/11 and the subsequent launch of what American leaders dubbed the “global war on terror,” the world finds itself confronting a new threat. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, as the international community focused on al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and other groups espousing a particular interpretation of Islam to justify their terrorism, right-wing extremism grew around the world. Social media platforms and chatrooms offered important mediums for people to share ideas, connect, and learn from each other regardless of geographical location, facilitating connections that might otherwise have been difficult to form.

Looks like Islamic extremism is old news....
No it isn't.

I always hear Gavin say that the Proud Boys have no leader, but it looks like Enrique Tarrio is the chairman. Did he order the Proud Boys to break into the Capitol building though? Why hasn't he been charged in connection with the Capitol riots if he's no different than the leader of ISIS? All he's been charged with is destruction of property after stealing a BLM flag, and possession of a couple of magazines. This is the man we're comparing to the leader of ISIS?

Because Gavin is such a trustworthy guy

Yup and fun fact he's probably an FBI informant
Quote: Did he order the Proud Boys to break into the Capitol building though?
Irrelevant

Probably because he still working for the cops
Quote:This is the man we're comparing to the leader of ISIS
Yup because both are terrorist groups

I agree with you that there are civil rights issues. I just don't know if there's a line that we have to draw.
Well, maybe if you are sending money to ISIS members, I could see an issue with that, but the rest are fine. Neo-Nazis, KKK, Nambla, the Crips and the Bloods. All fine. You can buy all of those in the US, right? I kind of identify more with America because of their first amendment, and the singers, actors and athletes I grew up with and like are from there. I never cared for hockey or Tim Hortons.
In my dictionary -which is the normal human dictionary- I categorize groups into two:
1-Groups that don't cause damage
2-Groups that cause damage
Full Stop.
ISIS cause damage, so they terrorists.
Proud Boys cause damage. So they are terrorists.
Another Full Stop.
If Proud Boys had more firepower; they would've caused a hell lot of damage.
ISIS has more firepower because it is active in actual warzones. So if Proud Boys were in a warzone, I'm sure they would've blew things up, murdered the whole White House too.
So, the discussion is over before it starts: white supremacists are so dangerous.

Well, Canada is the only country on earth that considers them a terrorist group, and our government is lead by a man who wears blackface for fun and considers it oppression against women to use the word 'mankind'.
How do you feel about Black Lives Matter? They've caused a lot more damage and injury than the Proud Boys and BLM is nominated for the Peace Prize. Is Black Lives Matter a terrorist group to you? I'd say no, they are not a terrorist group.

BLM was the expected reaction for the terrorism of Donald Trump and his white supremacists, white racist police officers were killing black people and take selfies over their dead bodies !
White supremacists are a disease just like ISIS, they are more advanced and capable too,and they showed their real intentions with the killing of Floyd + the attack on the Capitol; I also have my own grudge against these fucks after we saw them in action in the Mosque attacks in New Zealand.
