B R R | Between Reason and Rage

Pro-democracy. Anti-bullshit.
Canadian, observing from the edge - somewhere between reason and rage.

History is blunt: once fascists win power through #Democracy, they’ve never been removed by it. Not once.

This thread draws on a FB essay shared by Karl J. Martin, attributed to “Chris Armitage.” I couldn’t verify the author, but the history is sobering 🧵

Happy birthday, Canada!🇨🇦

@Acyn Racist, ignorant POS. Here’s a thought… he should read history books!

@mmpadellan ✋🏻 Anyone talking about the lack of permits or anything? Conflict of Interest? The Big Grift? What a shame the 250th is being showcased by 💩 like this…

@Gianl1974 Awww… poor baby doesn’t like being asked the difficult questions. That’s the journalists job: to ask the difficult questions even though they might make the interviewee uncomfortable. Grow a pair, dude.

Total cost to tax payers from the FIFA events won’t be disclosed until 2027. Get ready to pony up kiddos!

@CrockerBrock Bad framing. Supply management isn’t a cartel. It’s TRQs: low tariffs inside quota, high over-quota rates (200%+ in some dairy lines). Some quotas bind (cheese), others don’t. US exports in within limits. It’s capped access, not open trade.

@chiky_handlr … and Trump shouldn’t be president.

A man calls into Fox News and tells Jeanine Pirro that Trump isn’t making America Great Again he’s Making America Hate Again and he’s tired of it and she should be ashamed of herself because she was once a Judge and knows better than to allow this to keep happening.

Pete Hegseth's D-Day speech was a grotesque, ignorant, and idiotic desecration of the memory of every Allied soldier who stormed Normandy — nothing but pure American white supremacist stupidity.

To stand at the graves of young men who gave their lives fighting an actual Nazi invasion and then equate desperate migrants in rubber boats with the Third Reich is beyond disrespectful — it's morally bankrupt, historically illiterate garbage.

Those heroes liberated Europe from the same kind of fascistic tyranny the authoritarian Trump regime is promoting in America, not from immigrants seeking a better life. Weaponizing their sacrifice for cheap far-right anti-immigration rhetoric dishonors their graves and exposes Hegseth as a comic-book nobody utterly deaf to history.

Shame on him. Pure, self-important vulgarity.

@RpsAgainstTrump That's a hoot 'n a holler - a legend in his own mind. American citizens be damned. Me-me-me is alive and well.

Have been on hold with @Rogers for over an hour. This is for a business account. Not even an option for a call back, like Telus offers. As with everything else, prices increase, mistakes are rampant, and service gets worse and worse. Really not impressed.

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

As of the most recent 2026 polling averages, Trump’s support/approval sits roughly in the 35% to low-40% range among U.S. adults. Is that what one calls “winning”?

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

It's a free speech issue wrapped in “I don’t like this so remove it”. Nobody is forced to watch. That’s literally what the off button is for. Personal responsibility seems to have been replaced with demands for cancellation the moment someone disagrees - especially when it comes from the Trump administration.

AI is being used as a justification lever for restructuring, while the revenue side is still undefined. The workforce carries the cost through uncertainty, shifting roles, and delayed clarity in decisions. Do people inside these companies even recognise this as “transformation” at all?

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

All y’all are missing the point. The way he looks is irrelevant. He’s 80. Not the fine physique he thinks he is. None of that makes a difference. The OP asked “what do you see”. Oh, there’s lots to see and hear that’s warped and twisted, in that interview. I’m as anti MAGA and against Trump as can be. It’s that shit-eating smug look that he pretty much always has, one ya just want to slap him for, that I was referring to. So sit down.

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

@BraddrofliT The man is 80. Like him or not, one must cut him some slack for physical issues caused by age and weight gain (puffiness, swollen feet, rashes, …). But it’s his smugness that’s front and center.

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

The White House response to the shooting, proposing an "enemies within" rhetoric, smells of a prepared response.

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

@mark_slapinski Of course. How could they not?

[B R R | Between Reason and Rage @ReasonAndRage]

Disgusting behaviour from Trump during his 60 Minutes interview. Doesn’t like the reporter’s questions and insults her endlessly. Yet he touts freedom of the press… as long as it favors him.
