There's an under-discussed link between the 'cerebral' Christian Conservatism of Orr/ Kruger etc, the 'cultural Christianity' of Lowe etc., and the 'Christian' rhetoric & symbols of the Patriot Platform thugs. It's not enough to see this in terms of US influence - it's got a domestic inflection.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Maya Forstater has joined the bandwagon of bigots showing their support for the racist Nathan Cofnas...the bigots that support her have called her out on this...bigotry runs deep in these 'big players' of the gender critical ideological movement.

It's kind of microcosmic of the whole issue: the people in charge of fridge magnets don't seem to care that fridge magnets actually matter to people who collect fridge magnets.
