Silencing oppressor groups is almost always a good path to take. Not all viewpoints are valid or worthy of protection.

But didn't you know? Imperialism against European countries doesn't count.

Yup. In most cases, these people's votes count more than the rest of ours.

And? We're more than capable of pointing fingers in multiple directions.

"I'm just gonna pay off this maxed credit card with this other credit card that has an infinitely variable interest rate and sends people over to my house to trash my lawn. What could go wrong?"

It's got nothing to do with stupidity. We were all born and raised in, and indoctrinated by a society that pushes intense consumerism in every aspect of our lives. That didn't happen overnight, and it's not the result of a person making astupid choice. It happened incrementally over centuries, slowly enough that most people take for granted as just the way things are and never really question it.

That's why only strong government regulation can fix this, and why "durr just stop buying stuff" is an ignorant, asinine take.

Any time someone says Canadians are nice, just refer them to literally anything the RCMP has ever done. They've been among the worst of the worst since the day they were founded.

There is no such thing as a medicine with no side effects. Never has been, never will be.

This would be a reasonable take if it weren't for the fact that Twitter is, or was effectively the default platform for public discourse for most of the western world. What the Muskrat is doing to it has real, significant, and far-reaching consequences.

Good thing there are plenty of good lawyers that would cream their pants to take up a high profile slam dunk case like this pro bono or on contingency.
