The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don't know if people understand that I'm not exaggerating. I legitimately can't tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don't know if people around me understand that that's not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it's perfectly safe. It's like watching people go to a store that's literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It's like people think if the fire department isn't reacting then it isn't happening

and my grandmother thinks it's funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

My uncle told me that canada is looking to expand its militia by 300k. If thats true I need to look into signing up. I like guns, my countries sovereignty, and I loathe American governments, ideology, and culture. I will absolutely die preventing my country from being annexed or invaded or whatever other stupid thing Trump and the other drooling masses of the USA want to do.

Just while you're doing all that, don't stop paying attention to your own country's path. Regardless of what direction the US takes, other countries can also fall victim to the same things we did.

If it helps, many Americans like guns, your country's sovereignty, and loathe our current government. I'm really hoping we can start getting our shit together in 2026.

Yeah well I don’t really see you guys doing anything about it and I have little faith that you ever will.

That's fair. I go to protests but they don't have as much impact as we need and plenty of people aren't even really paying attention to what's going on. I'm making some preparations for if/when shit really hits the fan, I wish I knew other people who are as well.

Violent dictators laugh at peaceful protests.

If america ever tries to invade canada i would EXPECT you to revolt. I know this is setting me up for disappointment but still.
