Original post since I was blocked

We all know that under fascist conditions, the law (and ISA-appointed immigration experts) will save us! It's working out great so far, right?... right???

"Wait, what's this meme of Bibi and our God-Emperor on your phone? Straight to Git-Mo for you!" The whole thing reeks of desperation.

Agreed. Come to network and maybe get detained! You can do an autoethnography of detention!

Is this for real? lol

Thanks for sharing! I look forward to continuing to engage with your work.

My most recent article bit.ly/4j9sNPz w/ Scott Watson @uvic.bsky.social on #conspiracytheory, the #GreatReset and the #FreedomConvoy is doing numbers and #trending in #IR @risjnl.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social

Yep! PP continues to promote the Great Reset. He has vowed that no minister in his gov't would attend the WEF & accused Trudeau’s cabinet of being influenced by global elites. He sought to discredit Bernier due to his past attendance of the WEF, calling him a ‘grifter’ and a ‘liar’ (see conclusion)

Thanks a lot! Really enjoy your work and your article on the Convoy

The article was also inspired by research on conspiracy theory, extremism and the far-right across the social sciences @amaramarasingam.bsky.social @maargentino.com

The article was inspired by research on the global far-right, populist internationalism, legitimacy and conspiracy theory in IR @chenchenzh.bsky.social, @kjallen.bsky.social @jelenasubotic.bsky.social @rita-abrahamsen.bsky.social @dwajner.bsky.social @drkmillar.bsky.social @prconway.bsky.social

After a decade of #Liberal rule under #JustinTrudeau and on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of the Freedom Convoy, the article is especially timely and relevant to understanding the emergence of the global #far-right and #populist internationalism in an era of #post-truth politics

We argue that Trudeau's polarizing personality fueled anti-globalist sentiment in the #FreedomConvoy, but his centrality to conspiracy narratives stems from a deeper source: #Trudeau symbolizes the perceived threat of int'l institutions to national sovereignty—a core grievance of anti-globalists

Looking at 4chan's /pol, #Infowars and Rebel News, we conceptualize the process of ‘conspiracist delegitimation’, which mobilises the international to delegitimise national elites like Prime Minister #JustinTrudeau and international institutions and agendas, such as the #WEF and its #GreatReset

The Freedom Convoy fostered & relied upon anti-globalist conspiracy theories like the #GreatReset and #GreatReplacement, both of which posit a ‘globalist’ conspiracy to erode national sovereignty & impose a ‘liberal’ international order--a so-called #globohomo dictatorship across the West

We analyse how anti-globalist conspiracy theories were mobilised online to delegitimise national authorities and policies designed to curb the Covid-19 pandemic. We examine the Freedom Convoy, a series of protests against vaccine mandates that began in Canada but inspired global demonstrations

IOM is increasingly try to enter the forced migration space too it seems, with an eye toward their expansion as a humanitarian actor, especially if you look at their strategic plan. I wouldn't be surprised if they try use the U.S. leadership of IOM to do Trump's bidding and further marginalize UNHCR
