I'm Canadian, sort your own problems out. Yes, call me a child because I didn't elect one into the highest office of my country. The lessons are there for anyone to see, you just can't be bothered to get off your couch or get out of your comfort zone until there is no comfort zone to go to. Rise up!
You're so personally defensive when it's clearly obvious the majority of America doesn't even seem aware this is happening. Be mad at your American neighbors with their heads in the sand and up their asses, not with foreigners that are rightfully disgusted at America's overall apathy toward its own destruction. Every Canadian has every reason to think we're trash people because we keep showing them we are. It's like, fucking congratulations, you personally aren't part of the problem? You want a fucking cookie? America and Americans are still fucked and the goddamn least we can do is tolerate justified shit from countries we're fucking. Get off Canada bros ass and get your head out of yours, be mad at the people that deserve it.
Folks who are not members of a privileged ruling class have no real say about what their leadership does with the military regardless of the illusion of choice they're given on election day. The idea that average, working class Americans are responsible for national guard troop deployments in US cities for stated political purposes can only come from a privileged person who has the kind of power and control to do anything to affect the situation. I know that's not me.
If anyone wants a suggestion for something they can personally do to help America's national situation, go to the food bank and move boxes around, and if you've got enough money to do it, go to the local megamart and buy all the clearance and donate it. Food stamps are gone starting Monday.
If we gave you the advice you need, we'd be flagged for inciting violence. That's what is needed. Actual push back. Organize, deploy, resist. There is your advice. It's gonna hurt, but so does starving to death. So does forced labour. Join forces now, before it's too late. We ain't coming to save you "bro".
Yup, and it's going to have to happen too, so might as well get to it, eh. There is nothing gonna save you except yourselves, and it needs to get worse before anyone will get off their asses to make it better again. It's coming. There won't be another election at this point. There will be martial law before too long, there are already ICE and National Guard in cities for zero reason, so it's only a matter of time. Why would I help you who willingly won't help themselves?
I didn't suggest it because it is the ONLY viable option. The courts won't save you, politicians won't save you, the police will certainly not save you and the military has already been compromised and also, likely won't save you.
What are your options? Starve and die or rise up and fight together. You outnumber them significantly, and I doubt any institution outside of the highest office of politics has any appetite for mass murder of their fellow citizens. Unfortunately, it's going to get to that point before any tables get turned. Welcome to the new world order.
The best part is you think it's all about you. A statement is made, and y'all take it personally. I appreciate you are doing 'something' but it's not working. An American calling anyone a shitty neighbour right now is just a classic "good one". Stop threating the sovereignty of my nation and maybe I'll show a little more sympathy.
The American people elected a fascist dictator that is threatening the sovereignty of my nation and fucking up established trade agreements and causing unnecessary harm and suffering, because he feels like it. I am mad at the people who deserve it, Amerians. You let this happen and are standing by and watching. Sorry not sorry. Period.
I'm not mad at "an American" I am mad at all Americans for allowing this to happen. Fix your fucking country. You don't get to tell me who to be angry at.
Cool, shut the fuck up then.
