rip you guys are gonna get couped
imperialism is manifesting itself in the imperial core
Sounds familiar
Hey, I've seen this one before!
Insert Césaire quote on fascism
“People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: "How strange! But never mind-it's Nazism, it will pass!" And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, but the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.”
Seems to me we got couped. It was just mostly domestically bloodless. So far.
Canada is one of the few countries that has actually defeated the USA. They even burned the white house.
No, that was the British during the war of 1812.
British based in occupied Canada, with Canadian born soldiers the majority of soldiers.
American here: honestly would not mind if Canada came and did that again at this point. Please help us get the Nazis out of the White House.
They did that once to Australia.
They did that to halve of this world, just not to that many western countries.
yeah they got couped
Don't act like Canada hasn't been seeing it's own share of right wing extremists making their way into government.
Yeah no need for a coup really. Without a revolution Canada is gonna be part of this new axis on its own.
Do you really think it's likely this will happen? I think hell just start throwing a tantrum and maybe symbolically apply some tariffs.
Yes it is likely. Canada can’t afford to resist. Canada is highly dependent on trade with the US.
Just because I think it is likely doesn’t mean that I think it’s right. This is clearly wrong.
Your screenshot does not make it likely.
This is a high level of cope. Those imports are worth almost half of Canadas GDP.
