⚡️ “A primer to #incel culture, the possible motive for the Toronto attack” by @ArshyMann #MRA, #AltRight #Manosphere #misogyny https://t.co/jkHSRLNGx0

Follow this thread really important to understand #misogyny, #incel, the alt right and the manosphere and it's ugly spiderweb.

There's a lot more to say on this topic, and we still don't have all the information about yesterday's attack, so I'll just end with a few recommendations for further reading.

Incels & the broader manosphere are an important component of what we've come to think of as the alt-right (depending on your definition of that term). Misogyny is the most common gateway drug to other forms of hate.

To clarify, the manosphere is a catch-all term that refers to a number of online male communities that overlap, branch off, interface & oppose each other in complicated ways. It includes pick-up artists, men's rights activists, incels, men going their own way etc.

#Westworld flokie in the house. What a surprise this was

Breaking: Epic investigation @mikedesouza reveals high-ranking public servants were instructed “to give cabinet a legally-sound basis to say ‘yes’” . Before First Nations consultations concluded, before results of government panel. #Cdnpoli #bcpoli

Alberta now has over 1.3 Trillion litres of toxic tailings from #tarsands operations and growing. “If any of those [tailings ponds] were ever to breach and discharge into the river, the world would forever forget about the Exxon Valdez,” #cdnpoli #bcpoli #StopKM

This is big. Also, literally big. “In B.C. it will be the largest solar farm by quite a large margin." https://t.co/3uGdaR4j9L #bcpoli #CleanGrowth

Our government is taking action against tax evasion in condo pre-sales to ensure everyone is paying their fair share. #bcpoli

Things women shouldn’t have to apologize for: 1. Having our periods. 2. Sexual preference. 3. Putting work first. 4. Bra cup sizes. 5. Independence. 6. Painting our faces. 7. How many people we’ve slept with. 8. Looking like hell. 9. Making more money. 10. Eating too much.

Survivors from St. Anne's residential school faced down the power of the Justice Department and never blinked. They will be on Parliament Hill Thursday morning to witness the debate for a papal apology. They are a mighty force of justice. Join us. Apologies matter.

Government crackdown on presale flipping & rental zones on the way. #vanre

At city council tonight #RichmondBC. Councillor Loo thinks that developers shouldn’t have more rules or we might lose more supply. Note: luxury supply doesn’t not help the affordability crisis! The over 100 families in affordable Ascot Wynde find this cold comfort. #vanre

Saudi Arabia is a human rights abomination. As long as @JustinTrudeau allows Canada to sell arms to this barbaric regime, his expressions of 'serious concern' to the Saudi autocrat are meaningless and hypocritical: https://t.co/J9mwJEm1Zg #cdnpoli #yemen #Yemencantwait @CanadaFP
