Fascist Dominion

The Conservative War on Reality, and the Future We Must Build

It starts with exhaustion. Not a war in the streets, not a violent coup, not a single, shocking moment. Just the relentless grinding down of resistance. The deliberate poisoning of discourse. The daily erosion of trust, of truth, of the very idea that something better is possible.

That's how they win.

Not with better ideas, not with real leadership, not even with the force of law, but through the systematic breaking of the public will.

This is not conservatism. It is orchestrated collapse.

What is happening in Canada today is not a shift in governance, not the usual back-and-forth of politics. It is the active dismantling of democracy by a movement that has no interest in governing at all.

The modern Conservative Party is not a political party in any meaningful sense. It is a wrecking crew. It does not seek to build, to improve, to solve problems. It exists only to destroy. To tear apart every institution that stands between the people and absolute corporate rule. To break the foundations of the country and call it freedom.

It is not an accident. It's not incompetence. It's by design.

We're watching yet another test case prove out in the US. It's fast, efficient, and so far overwhelmingly effective.

The question every single person in this country must ask themselves is simple: Will we allow it?

The Strategy of Ruin

Conservatives are not failing at governance. They are governing for failure.

Their model is not mismanagement. It is deliberate destruction.

A functioning public system is the single greatest threat to their agenda, because it proves their entire ideology false.

If healthcare works, their case for privatization collapses.
If unions win, their war on wages falls apart.
If affordable housing is possible, their extraction model dies.
If education empowers people, their ability to control the narrative disappears.

They cannot afford a society that functions.

So they break it.

They defund schools so that privatization becomes the only option.
They manufacture crises in healthcare so that corporate medicine can step in.
They gut labour protections so that workers fear organizing.
They deregulate housing so that landlords can extract unchecked profits.

And while they orchestrate collapse, they blame everyone but themselves.

It's not their policies causing the crisis—it's the immigrants, the unions, the environmentalists. It's the "woke agenda," the activists, the progressives. The forward looking, thoughtful, caring, empathetic people. It is anything, anyone, except the people who actually hold the levers of power.

It is a lie.

But it's a powerful one. Because it's not just about control. It's about wearing people down.

It's not enough for them to make things worse. They need people to stop believing in change altogether.

Fascist Dominion: How the Conservative Movement Enforces Submission

Conservatives know they cannot openly declare their real agenda. The people would never accept it.

So they enforce it without ever speaking it aloud.

Through social terrorism, they create a world where resistance is punished so thoroughly that most people never even attempt it.

Through algorithmic warfare, they make it impossible to tell truth from fiction.

Through economic coercion, they create a system where the cost of standing against them is too high for most to bear.

  • Journalists, academics, and activists who speak out face legal harassment, career sabotage, and relentless smear campaigns.
  • Online, right-wing disinformation networks manufacture consent through bot armies and manipulated outrage.
  • Right-wing governments push laws that criminalize protest, weaken unions, and make corporate power untouchable.

And all of it is designed to send the same message: This is inevitable. There is nothing you can do. Fighting back is pointless.

It is the final stage of authoritarian capture, not just the destruction of democracy, but the destruction of the belief that democracy is worth saving.

They Are Not Invincible

The great lie at the heart of Fascist Dominion is that nothing can be done.

That the system is too big. That the corruption is too deep. That power is too entrenched. That fighting back is a waste of time.

But it is not true.

And we have already seen it proven false.

  • In Ontario, public outcry forced Ford to back down on union-busting legislation.
  • In Alberta, mass resistance stalled the privatization of healthcare (for now).
  • Across the country, Indigenous land defenders continue to win battles against corporate extraction.
  • In Quebec, rent control movements have blocked landlord exploitation.

Every time people organize, fight back, and refuse to accept the Conservative future, they expose the truth:

They win when we believe we are powerless.

We win when we remember that we are not.

The Future We Refuse to Surrender

It is not enough to fight them.

We must build something better.

Conservatives rule through fear because they have nothing else to offer. They cannot campaign on healthcare, wages, infrastructure, or housing because they have no vision for the future beyond permanent extraction and decay.

We do.

We know what works.

  • Worker-owned businesses are thriving.
  • Indigenous-led governance is proving stronger than colonial policy.
  • Public services outperform privatized systems in every metric.
  • Communities are solving problems that governments ignore.

And all of it proves that we do not need them.

That the only thing stopping us from building the world we want is the lie that it cannot be done.

Which Side Will You Stand On?

There is no neutral ground.

No one gets to stand aside and wait. No one gets to pretend this will fix itself. No one gets to look away.

Conservatism in Canada has reached its final form. It is not a party, not a movement—it is a demolition project.

And every single person in this country has a choice to make.

Either they stand behind what Conservatism has become—the party of corporate extraction, social terrorism, and manufactured collapse—or they walk away.

Because there is no moderate fascism.

No ethical authoritarianism.

No acceptable amount of destruction.

There is only what is happening, and what we do next.

The future is not written.

The world we build is the world we demand.

And we are done asking for permission.

This is not conservatism. This is something else entirely.

Canada is not the country it once was. The change has not been sudden, nor has it been entirely visible, but it has been absolute. The structures of democracy still stand, but the foundation has rotted. The legal frameworks remain, but they serve different masters now. The language of governance, of rights and freedoms, still fills the air, but behind it is something unrecognizable. A hollowed-out system, functioning in name only.

The modern Conservative movement is not an opposition party, not a governing alternative. It is something far more insidious: a controlled demolition of democracy, orchestrated from within. It does not seek to lead or even to rule. It seeks to dismantle. It seeks to collapse.

The world they are building is not some mystery. It is already here, taking shape in the shadows of what was once a functioning society. It is a world where billionaires extract wealth unchecked, while the workers who create it fall into permanent insecurity. A world where truth itself is a battlefield, where disinformation is the air people breathe, where fact and fiction are indistinguishable, and no one is sure what to believe. A world where the government does not answer to its people, but to its donors, its corporate masters, the hidden hands that pull the strings. A world where protest is criminalized, where dissent is met not with argument, but with intimidation, suppression, and ruin.

This is not a hypothetical future. This is the present. It has already begun.

The Conservative movement has no vision for Canada beyond destruction. They do not campaign on policies meant to improve lives, nor do they pretend to care about the functioning of institutions. Their goal is the dismantling of public systems, the slow suffocation of every service, every program, every collective structure that exists to serve the people rather than the wealthy. They do not want better healthcare; they want to make public healthcare fail, so private industry can step in. They do not want better education; they want to break the system so only those with money have access to learning. They do not want labour protections; they want workers too desperate to fight back. They do not want truth; they want confusion, so that people are easier to manipulate, easier to control, easier to convince that no alternative exists.

None of this is incompetence. It is not mismanagement. It is not ideology. It is a strategy.

They know exactly what they are doing.

The power of public systems is not just in what they provide, but in what they represent. A functioning, effective, and equitable society is the single greatest threat to their agenda, because it proves their entire philosophy wrong. It shows that government can work. It shows that fairness is possible. It shows that another world exists beyond the one they are trying to build. And that is something they cannot allow.

So they destroy.

They defund and destabilize. They privatize and monopolize. They poison and polarize.

And through it all, they shift the blame. The failure of the system is never their fault. It is the immigrants. It is the unions. It is the climate activists. It is the "woke agenda." It is anyone and everyone except the people pulling the strings, the people reaping the profits, the people driving the collapse.

They understand something that too many people still do not.

This is not just political. This is psychological.

They are not just dismantling democracy. They are dismantling belief in the very idea of democracy. They are not just crushing resistance. They are convincing people that resistance is pointless. They are not just winning power. They are making sure no one even imagines taking it back.

The exhaustion is deliberate. The apathy is manufactured. The hopelessness is engineered.

But history is not written by those who resign themselves to failure.

The great lie at the heart of Fascist Dominion is the idea that nothing can be done. That the system is too big. That corruption is too deep. That power is too entrenched. That resistance is a waste of time.

But that is not the truth. The truth is that the system is fragile. The truth is that power is brittle. The truth is that authoritarian movements do not succeed because they are unstoppable. They succeed because people believe they are.

And that belief can be broken.

Every victory, no matter how small, proves them wrong. Every act of defiance, every protest that is not crushed, every policy they are forced to abandon, every lie that is exposed, every worker who refuses to back down, every community that fights back, every single time people come together and remind them that they do not own this country, that they do not own the future, that they do not own reality itself—every single time, they crack.

The world does not belong to them. The future is not theirs to shape.

It is ours.

But we must claim it. We must be relentless. We must be unbreakable. We must refuse to be silenced, to be intimidated, to be exhausted.

Because there is no neutral ground.

No one gets to stand aside and wait. No one gets to pretend this will fix itself. No one gets to look away.

The choice is here. Now.

The world they are building, or the world we will not let them take.


Fascist Dominion: The Conservative War on Reality and the Future We Must Build

I. The World Conservatives Are Creating

It begins with exhaustion.

That’s how they win.

Not through force—at least not yet—but through attrition. Through the slow erosion of resistance, the steady poisoning of public discourse, and the relentless drip-drip-drip of manufactured crises that keep people too distracted, too divided, too weary to fight back.

This is not conservatism—it is calculated authoritarian collapse.

And it is happening right now.

The modern Conservative movement in Canada is not a political party, not a coalition of ideas, not a governing alternative. It is a deliberate sabotage operation, designed to hollow out democracy, strip public protections, and deliver total economic and political control to corporate elites.

The future they are building is not hidden. It is already visible, taking shape before our eyes:

  • A country where billionaires extract wealth unchecked while working people sink into permanent insecurity.
  • A society where truth itself is a battleground, flooded with disinformation so that no one knows what to believe.
  • A government that functions as a franchise of global oligarchs, serving the interests of oil barons, corporate monopolies, and foreign power brokers instead of its people.
  • A legal system where dissent is criminalized, where Indigenous land defenders are labeled terrorists while white nationalist militias operate freely.
  • A media ecosystem engineered for compliance, where news outlets report not to the public, but to the political donors who own them.
  • A future where rage is endless, but change is impossible.

This is Fascist Dominion.

Not a dictatorship in the old sense—but a democracy in name only.

An empire of economic coercion, algorithmic manipulation, and state-sanctioned repression, where people are free to speak, but their voices never reach power. Free to vote, but the outcomes are preordained. Free to work, but never to thrive.

This is what modern Conservatism is pursuing.

And the question is simple: Do we accept this future? Or do we build something else?


II. The Strategy of Collapse

Conservatives are not failing at governance—they are governing for failure.

They are not mismanaging public institutions—they are intentionally breaking them.

This is the strategy. Not reform, not realignment, but deliberate destruction.

They know that a functioning, well-funded public system is the single greatest threat to their agenda. Because it works.

Because when people see what is possible—when they experience universal healthcare, workers’ rights, Indigenous self-governance, a livable wage, affordable housing—they understand that another world is possible.

And that terrifies them.

So they destroy.

They defund schools so that privatization becomes the only option.
They break the healthcare system so that corporate medicine can take over.
They gut labour protections so that workers fear organizing.
They deregulate housing so that landlords can extract wealth indefinitely.

This is not conservatism—this is orchestrated economic warfare.

And they pair it with the weapons of social control:

  • Algorithmic Gaslighting – Social media is flooded with right-wing talking points, bot networks create the illusion of mass support, and disinformation turns reality into a battleground.
  • Cultural Sabotage – Every progressive movement is immediately framed as dangerous, unhinged, or a conspiracy—while actual fascists are given credibility and airtime.
  • Legislative Handcuffs – The legal system is rewritten to make protest illegal, unions powerless, and corporations untouchable.
  • Economic Intimidation – Journalists, activists, and academics are financially punished for speaking out—through blacklisting, defunding, or legal harassment.

The message is clear: resistance is futile.

And too many people believe it.

Because this is not just political. This is psychological.


III. The Fight for Reality Itself

The greatest trick of Fascist Dominion is convincing people that nothing can be done.

That the system is too big. That corruption is too deep. That power is too entrenched. That resistance is pointless.

This is the final stage of authoritarian collapse—not the rise of dictatorship, but the death of belief in change.

And it is a lie.

Because we have already seen what happens when people fight back.

  • In Ontario, organized resistance forced Ford to back down on union-busting legislation.
  • In Alberta, mass public outcry stopped the privatization of healthcare (for now).
  • Across the country, Indigenous land defenders continue to win battles against corporate extraction.
  • In Quebec, rent control movements have blocked landlord exploitation.

Every victory is a reminder: they are not invincible.

They win when we believe we are powerless.

We win when we remember that we are not.


IV. Building the Future, Not Just Resisting the Present

It is not enough to oppose Conservatives—we must replace them. Not just in government, but in the public imagination.

We must build a vision so bold, so undeniable, so obviously superior that no one will ever again believe the lie that Conservative rule is inevitable.

Because it isn’t.

Because a better world is not only possible—it is already happening.

We know what works.

  • Worker-owned businesses are thriving.
  • Indigenous-led governance is proving stronger than colonial policy.
  • Public services outperform privatized systems in every metric.
  • Communities are solving problems that governments ignore.

We have every tool we need to build a country that works for everyone.

The only thing Conservatives have is fear.

And fear only wins when we let it.


V. The Line Has Been Drawn. Which Side Are You On?

This is not a debate about ideas.

This is not a question of policy differences.

This is a fight for the soul of this country.

And every single Conservative in Canada has a choice to make.

Either they stand behind what Conservatism has become—the party of corporate extraction, social terrorism, and manufactured collapse—or they walk away.

Because there is no middle ground.

There is no moderate fascism.

There is no ethical authoritarianism.

There is only what is happening, and what we do next.

The future is not written.

The world we build is the world we demand.

And we are done asking for permission.
