Yeah I believe that was around 2015.
Feb 2020 seems correct for that Halifax protest as it was shortly before Covid and I first discovered / started watching Rage in the final months back of 2019.
Feb 11th, 2020 MacKenzie Khadr archive
Looks like the YT description & Lobster were correct.
IIRC like Priest commented, Rage only started his podcast in '18 or '19 shortly before COVID. The Khadr photos & clip is really the first footage I'm aware of that has MacKenzie as a public figure (besides some old army photos).
Fuentes’s movement has stagnated more. Just look at the inactivity of Cozy.TV where even Beardson hates using it.
Fuentes is a lightning rod (and hated here on KF). I think Jeremy is a lot more legit than Nick. And a lot less likely to be a fed.
I think most of Nick's claims to be leading a social change movement are fake & literally gay. And his show is mostly about enriching himself.
But Fuentes, similarly debanked & deplatfomed, is years later much better than Rage at capturing the zeitgeist. YouTube & X are full of content lately over Nick exposing Tucker Carlson while doing live shows to five-figure viewers with Rumble's sketchy numbers. Nick is getting invited on Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Fresh & Fit, random gay Gen Z looksmaxxing influencers, etc.
Rage has suffered many of the same slings & arrows as Fuentes, but has less to show for it. His pod is niche & popular among the faithful, but he's only streaming to a few hundred Dags after 5 years with little growth. He's smeared openly by politicians & the media with little access to channels to get his side of the story out to normies. He's hated by even "alt right" independent outlets like Juno & Rebel News. He & mostly Ferry have alienated a lot of the smaller voices in the same space as them like PPC supporters & Bernier, more civnat YT & X types like ClydeDoSomething, Mr. SunshineBaby, the Pleb, WarCampaign, etc.
He seems to be investing his time & resources taking Patriot Front-like masked militia selfies after rucking up mountains & sparring with men dressed in black.
It's a bold strategy Cotton. We'll see if it pays off.
On one hand, this is a largely BC issue because they failed to properly make treaties or exterminate the aboriginals- but- what did people not understand when they erode the standing of Canada by those land acknowledgements? Do they not understand what 'land back' means?
The court case you outlined is in Richmond, BC, which is essentially the airport/Vancouver.
But for those unfamiliar, BC geography is essentially unpopulated outside of Vancouver, Vancouver Island & some of interior BC.
Most of the province is empty, uninhabited land if courts, politicians & corrupt chiefs start grabbing Native title.
How in the ever living fuck would that happen? What's her court case about?
Not really sure & aren't skilled or interested enough to find out.
I just can't believe someone like Rage who has suffered so much personal lawfare would still at this point be making QAnon-esque declarative statements like "We're about to get the Premier thrown out of office in the courts !?!?"
That's why I threw out the completely speculative "supportive bf" theory.
It's also possible that there's some cult of personality thing going on here & Jeremy is just plain wrong on this one. Diagolon is very simpy for its leaders at times. I'm not sure how much feedback/constructive criticism is tolerated in its hierarchy.
