Privilege is believing that vaccine refusal is a revolutionary fight and you’re some sort of soldier.

Biohackers swear that one Onnit study proves nootropics make them .002% smarter but nearly three centuries of global vaccine research is a psy-op.

I'm currently studying for my Canadian citizenship test (don't even get me started), but I think Canadians really need to know the kinds of rhetoric shared with newcomers. The section on residential schools is a paragraph long and describes them as "schools to educate".🧵

Crematories are so full of bodies, it’s as if a war just happened. Many are holding mass cremations, and Delhi’s night sky is glowing with the fires. This is what life’s like in New Delhi right now amid the world’s worst coronavirus crisis. nyti.ms/2S2Cgjo

If Canada cares, we’ll lower our flags. We’ll have a national week of mourning. We’ll stop fighting Residential School Survivors in court. We’ll act on Truth & Reconciliation. If Canada cares, we’ll accept this genocide isn’t just our past, but our present too. #215children
