Lindsey flipped as soon as trump showed him those photos. Government by blackmail cannot end well. Get Epstein’s and Netanyahu’s good friend donny out of the whitehouse a.s.a.p. Clean up your house. Try to find honour again. It’s still possible.

What do you mean he flipped? Dudes been an asshole for decades and a piece of shit. He just needed a little encouragement to become even more of an asshole.

As a Canadian, I will never forgive America or the American people for what they have voted for and continue to support. The entire world is worse off the past few years mostly because of you uneducated fucks.

To be fair, Canada is also a genocidal settler-colony and an active imperialist power.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Point to me the last time Canada waged several illegal wars in the last two years.
I’ll wait.

Or are you going to say that Canada’s continued occupation of indigenous and First Nations land is also not genocidal? Downplaying Canada’s imperialism to own the Americans is about as low as you can get before you start directly hurting people. Don’t be a genocidal bootlicker for self satisfaction, it’s disgusting.

Imperialism is not “wages illegal wars,” imperialism is a process of wealth and resource extraction from the global south. Canada participates in this international system, headed by the US Empire, as a willing recipient of the spoils. Further, Canada is a member of NATO, which is a military coalition of imperialist countries designed to prevent backlash from the global south.
I assume you at least agree with the understanding that Canada is a genocidal settler-colony, and therefore should be abolished as a state alongside the US Empire, Israel, etc.

You know what would be cool? If you didn’t lump everyone in this country into one group. We are seeing results of decisions from 100 years ago, made by both of our countries. I will give you that the overwhelming majority of this country is uneducated. So much so that they don’t seem to notice that the election was blatantly rigged. And the same global group of people who did the rigging also operate in Canada (see: separatists). I don’t blame you for being angry and fearful of the dictator in this country making threats towards your home. But please understand that the issue is global and that some of us are doing something about it death be damned.

That’s right, a government must not be conflated with it’s citizenry. All the oppressed people’s of the world have more in common than their respective governments would like them to believe

I hope the same sentiment goes out towards iranians, syrians, chinese, russians etc.

The innocent citizens of those countries? Absolutely. Their governments? Not a chance.

Ouch! Why would you comment at all if you think I’m an uneducated moron? Such a war-like stance. Like the americans?
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Unless you’re American, I’m not talking to you. I was just commenting on the whole “they’ll be back and respected” thing.
I was replying that me, and many like me, will never again have respect for America. As a nation they are dead to us. A century of good will and allyship was pissed down the drain in two years and Americans celebrated it.
Fuck that and fuck them.

So you’re going to ignore all the people who actively are fighting against it and victims of it, and lump everyone into a monolith because that’s what you’ve been told.
I guess it is simpler to throw out nuance and just kinda be a bigot, but it’s not really in line with reality.
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Mild critique, there is no “American nation,” there are settler-colonists that do not form a nation, colonized indigenous groups, and semi-colonies of formerly enslaved peoples.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Fair enough. Just remember, at least one hundred million americans agree with you. It’s a bit unfair of you to paint everything the same colour. Fuck the usa regime and fuck lil’ trumpie though.

Pour one out for international solidarity ig
Under global capitalism, ofc there’s gonna be a brutal top dawg, that’s the name of the game, and yes, American capital has been unimagineably violent. But not without an inner circle that gets a dash of the spoils, too. That’s what that other guy was saying. Nations that have good trade deals with the US, simply materially benefit from the exploitation of the global south.
We’re on a knife edge, of capital being threatened with a crisis it doesn’t really know how to get itself out of. Not without violence and repression, at least. These moments are also windows of opportunity, when capital shows its face, as a genocidal engine. Don’t do their work for them, sheesh.
