Never thought I would have to say this for
but......
Hexbears leaning into imperialist chauvinism when the empire goes after a country they don't like? Wild, not okay
It would be one of the greatest political opportunities on this continent in a long time if this happened. The Canadian Nazis everyone here hates, rightly, and which ppl have also apparently decided everyone in Canada (including the indigenous peoples stuck under the setter-colonial system of "Canada") deserves some kind of ontological punishment for, I guess, are the people the US is gonna put in power or at least use to repress any movement that could resist this. Omg I know, I'm really doing "not all Canadians" but fuck, the imperial relationship does make us do the strangest things. Sometimes a reactionary power can transform into a revolutionary one in the right context. Even the Redditors talking about how willing they are to die "for their country" would have to decide quickly how to navigate this situation and how they actually feel about "their country" when the existing government probably immediately collaborates with the Americans to hand over the country
There is no progressive way to "put on the American trucker hat" and take pleasure in the destruction of yet another country's (at least kinda existing)-sovereignty before the empire's military. This "joke" is only something Americans can even do lol
Im actually fully in agreement. Of course, the idea of the USA annexing Canada is laughable right now, but if you entertain it for a moment... it could shatter the entire Western order. Not because Canada could resist the USA, but because it would break the very foundations many people believe the Western world is built upon.
Even a relatively bloodless annexation has massive potential to radicalize the masses within the imperial core.
Oh yus, it would be fucking wild lmao. It would certainly be a great opportunity for us, which is probably why they won't do it anyway.....
Ofc like you said, there's no way Canada is going to be able to oppose the US militarily, in the conventional way at least, but they might get some guerilla movements I hope?
Exactly. The chance of Marines storming Alberta is like 0....and one has to assume some higher ups would be aware of all the implictions a US annexation of Canada would have. But who knows....
