Influencers with the extremist racist group Diagolon spend hours making livestreams, trying to spread their message of hatred against immigrants and minorities through the online world on sites like Rumble and X.

Some prominent members have become fixated on hatred of South Asian people, celebrating violent videos showing people in India being hit by trains and complaining about the number of South Asian members of Parliament.

Now they’re planning a real-life foray, including stops in Vancouver and Kamloops, part of a venture they’ve named the “road rage terror tour” according to an ad on X.

I know we should celebrate freedom of expression and freedom of speech, but sometimes I wonder where "tolerance of intolerance is intolerance" begins and how we should apply it to groups like these.

A tour literally called "terror tour" fits squarely into terrorism propaganda. No need to philosophize too much on intolerance paradoxes and freedom of expression debates.

I know what you mean, but just to be pedantic I'm perfectly fine for calling the tour whatever they want. They can call it the "defecate on DEI tour" for all I care. It's the announced intent of spreading hate speech part that make me wonder why they are not persecuted yet, and why they can openly announce this stuff without fear of legal reprisal.

These people are Nazis, and should be treated as such. Fashies get the bashies.
