    You could stop pretending to be helpless and just one little old person for starters. Plan, collaborate with like minded people who aren’t pushovers for fascists.

    Where’s all that “live free or die” rhetoric now? “Leader of the free world.” " Arsenal of democracy". “End of history”. We had to hear the nauseating rhetoric, now is the time to put up or shut up.

        I’m willing to bet it’s more than you though.

        My country isn’t in the middle of a fascist takeover in part because we do our civic duty.

        You’re exactly the kind essentializing ignoramus that causes people to wear Canadian flags abroad.

        You’re the ones stealing my flag because you’re too embarrased by who and what you really are. Stop arguing with me, stop going on vacation and stop making excuses. Put your money where your mouth is and go and fix your shit.

          I don’t wear any flags because I don’t support authoritarian governments (including the Canadian government). In fact, if you paid attention, you might realize the comment you replied to was me offering an alternative solution for those who have this concern…

          This is your brain on nationalism, folks. I hope you can find your way to recovery.

            And I hope you can fix your shit. Having someone from the land of the Nazi and the home of the Depraved accuse others of nationalism is both mind boggling and totally on brand.

            Fix your Nazi shit or die trying. No excuses.

              There is nothing that says you can’t criticize someone else just because you live somewhere worse. Especially when the criticism is valid and said person is pretending their country is a paragon of virtue.
