I am not actively following Canadian politics, but recently Reddit swarms me with media/videos about Canada, with the kind of rhetoric I know from right winged people in Germany (AfD, CDU).

They are blaming Trudeau and immigration for everything that happens in Canada currently. Calling immigrants terrorists etc.

I always had to imagine in my head, that Canadians are friendly, open-minded people, but the media suggest otherwise.

So dear people, enlighten me with your opinion please!

Males worldwide are swinging hard to the right. It's concerning.

Macho hyper masculinity and nationalism supplanting education will do that :(

Yes, the problem is the men. Thanks.

What I am hearing is that you would like to tell us about your trauma. Well, please. Go ahead.

Less glibly, couldn't you look at this through a more positive lens? Can you not be grateful towards our sisters, mothers and daughters for their capacity to resist the fascist hatred that is washing over the planet? Like if we narrowly avoid slipping in to full on fascist governments, then yeah, it will be because of the women, not because of the men. And if we narrowly avoid saving ourselves from that fate, then yeah, it'll be more the responsibility of the men of the world than the women. It's a plain as day fact that you can see over the last ten years of polling. If that fact is hard for you to process, probably this public forum isn't the best place for you to try to work it out.
