I think it’s telling that enemy and ally are closely matched…

Canadians likely have some nuance here… They don’t hate “us” the people, they hate “us” the country.

So, the US and Russia are the aggressors, so, they need to be repelled, right?

Which costs money.

Putin always had designs to re-create the Russian empire, with Europe included, and the US as a puppet state.

Pedo comes to defend pedos… Color me shocked.

Yeah, no shit? We all saw that, when the chants for bans started coming after the anti-genocide protests…

Same. If I see US tanks rolling towards Canada, I’m throwing drones at them.

Everyone assumes every country’s overton window is aligned with the US.

Canada is no leftist paradise, but their overton window is far more left than the US.

Bernie would a Canadian centrist, or maybe a left leaning politician, for example.

You raise prices, and sell less. And let all customers know its the new Trump Tax they are paying.

The only possible liberation is self liberation.

We need to cast off our chains, ourselves.

Most of the people I’m around are not rich by any means, but they are not living paycheck to paycheck.

Most Americans are a single paycheck away from being destitute… Like, the average savings for a person in this country is 2K. That’s not even a single paycheck of mine, and hell, I even find it hard to make and plans past 8 or 9 months out.

Well, except the part about steam rolling into Canada… Because US forces will have US citizens shooting at them while they attempt to enter Fort Erie, or Niagara Falls.

Assuming that the US takes the most strategic point of entry, which I kinda doubt… Like they’d instead do something stupid like invade via Alaska, which I feel would have less pushback, in numbers, but a better armed citizenry fighting them on both sides.

Alaskans love hunting with AR-10s.

Maybe not half of the entire US population, but I’d hazard “half” is a fair estimate for those living in border regions, like the Great Lakes.

Most people are in this fog where current events are only an ephemeral storyline that they tune into periodically like it’s a TV drama.

No, I think most people only have the spoons to handle what is in front of them for the next 3-7 days. Its a systemic problem, that’s been promoted by both parties: Keeping voters head’s spinning, and the cloak of darkness providing cover for what our oligarchs want to actually do.

I’ve recently had to explain this to another person: The further down you are, in getting your needs met on the Maslow diagram, the shorter your planning becomes.

If all your needs are met, you can plan for this year, next year, and make decent plans for beyond. If your basic physical needs like food, shelter, water, and housing aren’t being met, then your planning is reduced to 3-5 days, if that.

Its purposeful by design, for the working class to have their needs met partially only, at best, by the ruling class. So, we CAN’T plan further out.

Notice during the pandemic, when food, housing, water, etc were all being met better, due to a reduction in transportation costs, food distributions, moratoriums on eviction? We went from people re-learning to make bread, to “Fuck the system!” in a matter of a couple of months?

US has come close to being on the brink of becoming a rogue state.

We always have been.

Also who is to support Canada with arms to defend against the US invasion?

US citizens…

Could end in a long and bloody incursion, but for the conventional side of things the US would steamroll Canada at first.

That will be kinda hard, with US citizens shooting at their backs.

I don’t foresee them making it past Fort Erie, tbh. But, that would be one of the more logical choices to try, so I expect Trump to instead try to invade Sunnyvale Trailer Park.

Fort Erie.

Not even going to lie, the Great Lakes will quickly become Canadian territory if Trump tries to make serious on his claims. Most of the folk in my region love Canadians more than we do people in other states.

Love that movie… especially love the scene where they get tickets for the anti-Canadian “signage” not being in French as well lol

I think he seriously under-estimates how many Americans will side with Canada, with force.

Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society.

Permanently. Like how we permanently separated Nazis from the rest of the world in the 1940s.
