    Yeah, people get fedfacebooks and YouTube algorithms. I have two people, BC and Ontario, that I had to stop taking to.

    One believes all the right conspiracy stuff and believes the biggest issue is rainbows on sidewalks, etc. The other has two daughters and proclaimed feminist, transrights person, but wanted to move to Texas, where they had just removed women’s rights. The can’t see the contradiction for the “I have freedom and prosperity in the USA”

    I haven’t stopped talking to these people (I mean I don’t talk to them, but I keep connections). I only do this, because the sun will eventually rise, and I want to make sure their behavior haunts them for the rest of their lives. Especially in one of the cases.

        Dang it’s almost like letting your enemies own our home turf news media is a bad idea or something…

        Nah, that’s impossible.

        Not only that, but create tax breaks for their clientele. Thankfully starting in 2025 this has come to an end, because our media is mostly a monopoly of traitor megaphones.

        We need to make sure the CBC is protected, at all costs. Id also like to see some of these smaller guys be able to make a go of it, stuff like the Tyee.

          Well geeze, I wonder why Canadians would have a less than stellar view of Americans at the present moment!? Might want to do something about your people screaming about how they are going to own us, and control us, and attack us.

          Take care of that and then we can talk.

                    If 1/6 Ontarians think something and 1/2 Albertans think something then there are more Ontarians that think that thing than Albertans.

                      There were actual Venezuelans in Canada celebrating the abduction. They have easy access to information about what happened in Iraq over the last 20 years, but it doesn’t matter. That would require going out and finding the information, rather than being fed it by automated algorithms.

                        This will sound insensitive, but it’s a serious point of anger for a lot of Canadians. I couldn’t give a fuck about what the average peanut farmer in South Virginia thinks about Canada. When Canadian’s talk about “America” -they are talking about the American government - ya know, the people who control the tanks and bombs? The people threatening? The people who have an actual impact on Canadian sovereignty?

                        It’s no different for you. When someone talks about something “France wants to do,” you don’t mistakenly think it’s about some rando coffee-shop worker in Paris, you know it’s referring to the french government. You are well aware that there are people living in France that don’t want to do that thing, but you don’t care, that’s not relevant.

                        “Not all Americans” really rings so hollow it might as well be a balloon. Use that energy on getting rid of the fascists running the place instead of worrying about discrimination from some country to the North.

                            oh yeah we got tons of those

                            there’s one guy I used to know from school that I still have on Facebook that has been posting increasingly right-wing stuff over the past year or so. it was kind of hard to figure out where exactly he stood, and like I did consider him a fairly rational guy even though he was a little too eager in general (meaning he’d sometimes jump to conclusions or miss investigating something).

                            but this event has made it very clear where he stands. he’s a nazi.

                            he doesn’t present as one. he doesn’t say overtly nazi things. but he supports nazis and thinks that only Good did anything bad here, and thus he supports nazis and thus he is a nazi

                              as an Ontarian, we have a HUGE blue (conservative) community because of how much of it is rural

                              and it follows the same shit as everywhere else, blue no matter who, even when they don’t understand why. they wanted to fuck Trudeau (understandable tbh), now they want to fuck Carney (not my personal taste and a bit harder to understand, but I won’t judge sexual preferences)

                                  Instead of cutting ties you should keep the light exposed on them. Cutting them off just leaves them with all like minded friends in an echo chamber
