Members of the crowd, some wearing shirts reading “Purebloods Stand Together,” took turns reading out a statement charging a government lawyer with obstruction of justice for attempting to have Dr. Daniel Nagase’s $66.6-million lawsuit against the B.C. Supreme Court tossed out.

What a bunch of flaming nutbags. No doubt they are harming their own kids with their "beliefs".

Pretty sure purebloods were the bad guys from Harry Potter. I'm surprised they can read.

I think the underlying (conspiracy theory) rationale is that the purebloods in HP were right and unfairly maligned. That's consistent with the "we're the oppressed minority" BS that extremists pull.

This is the classic rhetoric of the oppressors.

  1. Be bigoted, or prejudicial, or racist, or rage-baiting, or destructive, or anything else bad and regressive
  2. Get called out or shunned for it by the population at large
  3. Throw hands up in the air and say "what the hell! I am OPPRESSED! All you LIBS are feeding into the eSTabLIShMeNT! WE are the freedom fighters"

It's an embarrassment and its no wonder the CPC keeps running bigger and bigger fools. Their only strategy at this point is to inspire enough hatred to get enough people to vote for them.

I guess if it worked in Alberta 🤷‍♂️
