Crying wolf for “25 fucking years” didn’t help when a real Fascist came to town? Colour me shocked. I will add the vocal minority you belong to in an edit, stay tuned.
crying wolf? Are you fucking serious? Each offense to democracy weakened it allowing to the eventual rise of fascists, however, the fascists were always there in the shadows or more since the foundation of fascism and the prototypes to it (ya know, transatlantic slave trade, genociding natives - an inspiration for Hitlers final solution). Some say in the modern era it started with not holding Nixon accountable. I wasn’t alive then. But I was alive and old enough to see bush’s 2000 election theft (look up brooks brothers riot - lots of notable names involved) and the lack of response towards it. And then 9/11 and the patriot act, Guantanamo, the NSA spying, authorization for drone strikes abroad on American citizens without due process, the forever wars on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq, establishment of homeland security, blocking Obama’s ability to pick a SCOTUS judge, funding Israel’s genocidal state, there’s so much blowback from the middle eastern adventures in imperialism it’s not even funny. I can go on and on and on. I forgot a major one - nobody responsible for 2008 financial crash going to prison. Not one fucker. All got golden fucking parachutes while everyday people lost their homes. Thanks neoliberalism for the material conditions that bring fascism! Can’t say Marx and Engels didn’t warn you 175 fucking years ago!
Then there’s the persecution of the actual left - the people who fought for environmental, animal, civil rights and against capitalism getting life sentences on terrorism charges. So much of the rise of the authoritarian state has been a bipartisan power grab and infringement on the civil rights of citizens. And all protesting does is get one wrapped up in the system and put on a list. The people in power aren’t afraid of the masses. And now they’re fucking around so badly, they should be. There’s a gun behind every blade of grass in America, the only thing protecting the rich right now is propaganda. But the second people start getting hungry it’s over for them.
You gave away your hidden right wing, and demonstrated clearly what made someone say you are an extremist. Kudos.
Right wing?! LMFAO I’m an anarcho communist you can’t get much further left. My so called “extremism” was warning of right wing violence ahead of it happening and saying we need more Luigi’s because we’ve tried changing things the civil way. Civil rights weren’t won without violence. Being against capitalism is a threat to the corporate social medias profits and the interests they represent. The tech industry is so obviously fascist I don’t understand how people aren’t seeing things for what they are. Fucking unbelievable.
No, its your fault because you live in a Democracy and didn’t do enough to prevent people with Fascist Ideologies from taking power. You cry on social media about people crying on social media instead of doing something actually effective like trying to educate voters on the other side about what is wrong with voting for that side, preferring to make calls to violence because that is all your ignorant brain can come up with.
Typical sniveling liberal. All you’ve got is vote harder. what, for the friendly fascists with their BLM and rainbow flags confirming trumps nominees in total complicity? Fuck outta here.
You are the problem like the rest of your countrymen. Under educated, chronically online, and can never be the problem even though they are always the common denominator. Get your collective shit together.
Blue MAGA liberal fucking cope. Grow up. Stop being played like a fool. You vote blue no matter who team sports liberals are at fault for not stopping fascism, not the completely shunned and mostly eradicated (our civil rights leaders assassinated by the FBI) actual left.
Y’all couldn’t even hold a fucking primary. So much for “protecting democracy” 🙄🙄🙄 the democrats lost because they’re not a real opposition party, they’re controlled opposition on behalf of their capitalist donors and simply play the good cop routine on the spiraling collapse towards fascism. They’re collaborators, not allies despite their fucking messaging.
very single person in the US is either in full support of this nonsense, pretending like a petition or election is going to stop a “Fascist regime” from taking over, or don’t care as long as it isn’t them. Like always, we have to deal with their shit when it hits the fan because of proximity and I am sick of it.
That’s false, I care, I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs for 25 fucking years now that the fascists were taking over while liberals were weak, ineffective controlled opposition in service to capital. That stupid march around with signs protests don’t matter. That we can’t vote our way out the system has been so corrupt for so long the only way out is [redacted] leading me to lose all of my corporate owned social media accounts.
I’ve been gaslit, mocked and ridiculed for my views. I’ve been told I’m an extremist. Most mainstream liberals are going to be whining about not having vegan gluten free options to the concentration camp guards if they’re not whining about their pronouns and other micro aggressions. Oh and this group needs trigger warnings for clapping and loud noises. We’re utterly fucked. The so called left in this country let whiny weak fucks run the show, too busy painting rainbows in the street, flying BLM flags and being snarky on Twitter to actually fucking do something effective!
Oh and if you do anything but suck the democrat party’s cock, balls and all, it’s your fault the fascists won. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
People aren’t going into the streets because trumps goal is to incite protests and respond with martial law and then the nakedly fascist state fig leaf removed begins.
We need to be showing up to protests armed like the far right does if we have any standing chance, but the so called left and liberals are weak and soft as hell, caring more about micro aggressions, trigger warnings and being nonviolent martyrs than actually effectively protesting. And that’s when they’re not being snarky with sharp comebacks on social media thinking that’s actually doing something, meanwhile the fascists have been organizing for decades, took over congress, the school boards, the federal judiciary, built their own media, etc. But you know, kneeling in kente clothe in congress is progress to these soft liberal morons.
I protested for years and I voted since I was old enough in every election and it doesn’t fucking matter. Protests don’t matter when the ruling class doesn’t care. The dis United States is collapsing faster than ever now. Some say it began with not holding Nixon accountable. I believe it started with bush stealing 2000. But the democrats are a controlled opposition party and haven’t done shit to stop them in 25+ fucking years and all the so called left aka liberals have to offer is to vote harder or it’s your fault the country fell to fascism.
As a real fucking leftist and not a fucking pussy ass milquetoast liberal I’ve been shouting at the top of my lungs for years about the rise of fascism in this country only to be gaslit mocked and ridiculed. Oh and banned from most social media platforms because my views are “inciting violence” meanwhile the state does violence against us and the rest of the world every goddamn fucking day.
You have to realize the US is 50 countries in a trench coat. Some of us leave the United States and join Canada as territories, you get our tax dollars, we get your healthcare. We don’t burden housing or food because we’re coming with land already. We’re living under a technofascist coup right now and the quicker we break up the less bloody it will be.
That’s our way of begging you to take us in if things get bad. Are you willing to or is your progressiveness and ability to take refugees conditional on where they come from?
Our electoral system has been rigged for decades. The only way forward is coordinated mass strikes and if that doesn’t work, violence.
Yeah, as an American I want free healthcare, five weeks vacation and only a few % spending on defense and a lack of nukes outside of power plants.
You wanna know how we do that? By taxing the fucking rich or beheading them if they won’t comply. You don’t get to hundreds of millions of dollars or billions without exploiting and stealing from everyone else. Time to pay up or shut up for good.
Americans are fed insane propaganda from birth to death about how they’re powerless to change our government. It’s a total lie. And curiously, a large chunk of them are really into the second amendment to protect themselves against tyranny (wtf are they doing the tyranny is here). I guess we’ll see what happens when president musk finally goes after social security, Medicare and Medicaid.
There’s a video on I believe YouTube of jd Vance talking about east Palestine (where there was a train derailment and chemical spill that destroyed a town). You should watch it. He sounds like Bernie sanders in it. That’s what makes him so dangerous. He’s smart, he’s competent, he’s got a handful of good ideas (broken clock right twice a day) but he’s also a fucking fascist. IIRC Hitler improved working conditions for the good Aryan Germans during his reign while doing horror to everyone else. That’s how they get their support and a whole lot of people will dismiss the crazy shit as not really happening.
The technofascists that are backing trump want to seek power legally just like Hitler and then … just like Hitler … turn the country into a dictatorship. And genocide the undesirables. Look up Curtis yarvin. Dudes a fucking creep of a philosopher that has the ear and backing of all the technofascists. They are out in the open with what they’re doing.
The Bible is well past the copyright period which IIRC is 70 years in America. The Bible is free use at this point. No different than the original Mickey Mouse which is also out of copyright protection. Or the Mona Lisa.
The fact that you reference the Bible of all books shows how unbelievably confidently incorrect you are. Are you chatgpt?
You have the most freshwater resources in the world and the American west needs it (not defending belligerence!). I’d imagine Russia has decent fresh water but I’m sure you have something they don’t. Whether it be strategic location (with a warming world, more shipping routes as well) or simply more resources…
I’m not sure growing Canada bigger via immigration was the best move for you (at least how it turned out with neoliberal Trudeau). As I understand it your real estate market got fucked because you couldn’t build fast enough for the influx breeding resentment in non immigrant Canadians against newcomers. That’s ripe for exploitation of social division in the future…
Now growing Canada by absorbing part of the US… that might be a good move. We’re getting increasingly fed up with the situation and a dissolution of the union looks possible in a way it never did before.
There was some very shady shit that happened during and after the maiden protests. And there’s the US’ gangster based economy of “defense” aka weapons export. The Mexican president just alluded to it in an address about tariffs in Spanish re fentanyl and organized crime, how 3/4 of the weapons are from American “defense” industry with American military involvement.
I don’t trust the American narrative about Russia, but I also don’t trust the Russians. And I like communism. Capitalism leads to barbarism, Marx has been right about capitalism all along.
Have you ever thought as a Canadian that you’re being put in some weird tug of war between Russia and the US over your natural resources? Something real weird is going on here.
Just remember - most Americans especially the northern states that you trade the most with don’t want this and we have long been held hostage by a government that seems to be completely couped by the far right since 2000, starting with bush’s stolen election and the packing of the federal courts, overturning of citizens United, let it happen 9/11, fraudulent forever war on terror, and then of course what it’s led to with the multiple trump terms and the coup of the SCOTUS. We don’t have a legitimate government and the democrats are complicit as they’re also corporate captured and pro imperialist.
I think if things start to get bad Canada should work directly with friendly US states and make us an offer we can’t refuse, seceding from the US and joining Canada. Most of us would be happy to stop subsidizing the red states that drag us down in exchange for healthcare.
Fully responsible is a pretty big jump. The maiden protests were definitely a Victoria neuland production (Obama admin, undermining Obama’s official foreign policy…) but russias military maneuvers are a pretty aggressive response. Ukrainians have the right to their own country free from any interference, US or Russia.
*most of the US. My state (vermont), not so much. Trump support is fairly low across the board.
Re foreign interference, you are referring to now. and you’re not wrong! But I’m referring to a future where a hot war happens. Who will intervene? Who will take advantage of the situation? We have no idea and I don’t even think it’s possible to speculate. America has so many enemies (for good reason) the list could be endless. As for Canada, you’re full of natural resources, who knows who might find that appealing while you’re in a war with the US. All hell breaks loose. I’m a strategy person, I like thinking these things through, the crazy what ifs. I can’t even imagine what will happen if it gets to that point.
As for canadas fighting abilities, give yourselves some credit. Not just hockey, y’all kicked so much ass in WW1 we needed to have the Geneva convention. Most Americans think they’re so exceptional that no one can beat them. But the truth is we haven’t won a war since ww2 despite spending all of our money on war. Should it come to it I believe Canada would give america a run for it’s money.
I hope it doesn’t come to it. I wish more Luigi’s would spring up and take the technofascists and their puppets in government out. But I don’t have high hopes and I believe the future is looking extremely bleak.
And that’s ignoring climate change. Add that in, permafrost melting and another pandemic springing up out of it, we’re so fucked. The global elites know and they have no country. The world is theirs for the taking and that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Yeah. It would be a very risky big leap, but I think some blue states would be interested. Vermont went overwhelmingly for Harris, and we have an independent streak and history of our own. But other blue states would be harder - California and New York seem bright blue but they aren’t - the cities are and the rural areas are not. Vermont receives more federal tax money than we pay, not as much as the red welfare states but a considerable amount. I think New England as a whole would be interested but New Hampshire would be a wildcard. It could inflame a neighbor against neighbor civil war… people stupidly think a second civil war would have clear battle lines like the first. No way.
The biggest risk besides outright hot war would be foreign interference outside of Canada and the US. The US has made a ton of enemies with our foreign policy, and with us in obvious disunion they could start arming sides like we have done abroad. Or straight up invade. Or go after their own geopolitical aims closer to home (which I care less about, I’m tired of being the worlds police that few ever asked for).
One of the benefits is the US government hasn’t outright won a war since ww2 and the Canadians are formidable fighters in their own right. But a hot war should be avoided at all costs, it would be brutal. Many millions would die, if not in outright war in disease and starvation.
And what about the billionaires? Somebody needs to render them useless in the process. Otherwise they’ll just reign the rubble.
I think we should do it at the state level - democratic vote - and then if the response is leave we just stop paying the feds taxes and kick them off our land. What are they gonna do, invade us for our maple syrup? We invented guerrilla warfare and were heavily armed and know the mountains better than y’all queda does. And we’re accustomed to winter. The southerners wouldn’t stand a chance.
What’s your solution if you were American? Vote for the democrats, who confirm trumps nominees and enact many of the same terrible policies? Your only solution is vote harder. Vote harder doesn’t fucking work.
