"Your country is so small and weak you might as well have a mayor instead of a real government. We should and will annex you because we can"
"Why are you offended, that seems weird"
Yes, nationalism is weird, why do you identify with the Canadian government? I sure as hell don't identify with America's actions.
If another country was threatening to invade your home, would you take joy in that?
I mean my home is also the evil empire pillaging the rest of the world, so if I believed them, on some level, yes.
But no, I'd laugh at them because of how absurd it would be.
We don't have that luxury.
So maybe don't tell us we're weird about our own nationalism/patriotism when said evil pillaging empire threatens to pillage us?
Have you seen how big and white Canada is? There's not going to be an invasion or even drone strikes.
Canada has been helping us the whole time, I'm going to be even more flippant when Britain and the EU's economies are next to be sacrificed to maintain the rate of profit.
Assuming you don't work for Bombardier, neither of us has benefited from the spoils of empire.
as someone from a country who's had its stride with far-right cronies, i believe we should take their words at face value, lest we end up having some big trouble to deal with. so yes, canadians, mexicans, chinese, panamanians, greenlanders should follow their palestinians' counterparts and start making at least some molotovs just in case. if you 'muricans don't want to end up in a mess, you should topple the annoying orange and the space karen now, not wait 4 years to do so. you've already made things dangerous enough for us all by not putting him in jail when you had the chance.
Can I have your house? You can still live there, I'll just own it.
Oh, by the way, you're not going to be able to vote or contribute to democracy in any meaningful way anymore.
We live under Trump, and our last vote was a choice between Trump and Trump's 2016 platform, what meaningful democracy?
You're on the same trajectory as us, with a choice between "progressive" neoliberals continuing to hollow out social programs while poisoning indigenous people's water at home and supporting wars of imperialism on the other side of the world, and conservative neoliberals doing the same, and you're probably going to end up with the greater evil this time.
Also who the hell can afford a house?
Go on back to reddit, troll
You have the empathy of a snail.
