When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

Ah yes, elections will fix everything in the USA, just vote harder next time.
Just to make what I am saying as clear as I can without someone putting words in my mouth: The existing system is functioning as designed and as it has ALWAYS “worked” , and if the people of the world are going to have a chance to survive they need to destroy the current one, and replace it with one that cares about people and the planet, not just profits.
Well, we have plenty of people on Lemmy who place the blame for this situation on the Americans who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, as if they weighed the stakes, deliberated, and decided affirmatively that not voting was the correct action. It’s like the people who believe that have never met actual humans. Denial and dissociation ‘works’ very well for us as a psychological defense mechanism.
Now, if we have any hope, we need people to work together to shut down the fascists. I’m just sayin’ that this here is a much better way to put it to motivate them, while telling them that “it’s always been this way” and “the U.S. is simply evil” is a great way to push people back into denial and dissociation.

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.
Hi, failed expat here. Tried to move to Guelph legally in 2023-24 because Nazification of the USA was incredibly obvious to anyone who reads. Canadians changed their laws to be racist to Indians and excluded me, even though I am a white masters degree holder who had professional connections in the region.
When I die fighting ICE outside of some middle school because I caught them trying to kidnap people at my work, know that I would have lived in peace. I literally just wanted to eat delicious cheesecake in Guelph with my hot wife (who doesn’t have full rights in the fucking USA).
*edit: I want the people who are downvoting this to explain to me which part exactly they disagree with, because I think the implication is pretty disgusting generally.

Hi friend, and I mean that sincerely, I’m truly sorry that you weren’t able to get into Canada. And I hear you about the attitudes towards Indians… It’s abhorrent and a product of the anti-immigrant rhetoric that the right wing has imported from the US.
One of my best friends immigrated from India a couple of decades ago. He married a childhood friend and they slowly built a life together, now own 60 acres and have two kids. Hearing his story made me proud of this country, and I believe we are hurting ourselves by letting partisan reactionaries set the message on immigration. My family on my mother’s side immigrated from Eastern Europe after WW2. I’m first generation, so I understand what immigrant families go though, and especially the work ethic that the majority of them embody.
I hope you do not give up, and please, please stay safe. I react strongly to the increasing American threat, but it’s easy to forget there are people like you who never wanted any of this. I hope you can join us soon.

Yeah well we had “No Kings” and people came together, yet nothing happened. A few million people showed up and then went home.
No Kings was an absolute fucking joke from the start and everyone there virtue signaling is part of the problem.
-
Americans know. They just don’t have any idea what to do, and no single person can solve the problem.
The country that has spent a couple centuries dining out on its founding national mythology of knowing EXACTLY what to do somehow doesn’t know what to do.
You know what to do- you’re just a bunch of fucking cowards who are more concerned about not risking your relative comfort.

Good for your friend and your parents. Lots of 1st generation people could have helped us and didn’t.
Anyway, don’t wish for my safety. Do not let these fascists have an inch in Canada. Not a bleeding inch.

Why don’t you trip up some stairs.

American propaganda agents should be hunted down and butchered.
Bannon saying he’s gonna give Ireland a trump should get his ass in the space station with Mountbatten.

This is done because there are no consequences, no repercussions. A convicted felon and rapist is in charge instead of in jail. The checks and balances of their system have long since failed.
Too much was based on good will, public outcry and political capital. When MAGA proved they will excuse anything, they doomed the system.
If the system is ever recaptured, we must put stronger checks in. Or suffer the same fate.

Well, I said that back then and everyone on here ripped me a new one

I’m leaving the country. I’m not helping these people.

Spend your life sucking up the privilege that being an American affords you and then turn tail and run while those who can’t run have to stay and suffer.

Yeah, that combined with the big servicing challenges for the F35s really makes me think getting them isn’t the right move. For once the glacial pace of Canadian military procurement helped us.
So much money already spent on them for nothing. Brutally wasteful.

As is Canadian tradition. It is not even the biggest waste currently in military spending.

That’s not being a coward. This country has never done anything for me, why should I do anything for it? What kind of absolute dumb fuck moron would say to themselves, I was born here, so that’s who I am, And that’s all I will ever be!

Thanks I am aware

What other options do you propose?
I’m aware the midterms aren’t failsafe, but they’re the closest thing to hope that we have.
And if people make the same mistake as last time by boycotting the vote, then their defeatism will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Ofc vote. This isn’t a boycott proposal. But let’s not pretend either.

You sound like a white MAGA chud talking about how white privilege doesn’t exist.
