It turns out the grass isn’t greener in Canada; it’s just a lot more expensive.
A far-left activist and self-proclaimed “scholar of the far-right,” who goes by the social media handle “Nope Brigade,” is finding out the hard way that “liberal utopias” still require you to pay your bills.
After spending months fear-mongering about a “looming genocide” under President Trump, the Sociology Ph.D. candidate who studies the “far right,” with a focus on “Christian nationalism,” packed her bags for Canada, only to end up online weeks later begging for discounted housing and complaining about the lack of “free” government services.
Back on December 3, 2024, she uploaded a lengthy video warning that President Donald Trump’s immigration rhetoric was laying the “building blocks to genocide” in the United States, comparing potential deportation policies to the Holocaust and Armenian genocide.
“I can’t stop thinking about what might happen to immigrants once Trump ascends to power, so I would like to give you some insights that I have learned from my genocide class about what that might look like in the United States.
Genocides don’t just happen overnight, out of nowhere. There are building blocks to genocide. These are ideology, context, and a precipitating event.
In this case, you hear Trump talking about immigrants as vermin who are poisoning the blood of our country.
