Good. Hopefully it collapses before they plant a bunch of land mines everywhere.

This goddamn awful country built on settler colonial genocide can’t freaking help support another just like it.

I’m beside myself with impotent rage.

You don’t seize an airplane when it’s not your country or property. You are just stealing.

US stole an airplane belonging to the head of state of a sovereign nation.

It is galling to hear corporate run media talk about freedom of the press.

Nearly everything is made in China or has parts or materials from China.

Actual war would shut down pipelines for medicine, consumer electronics of every kind, appliances, tools, reagents, etc

I don’t know if people realize how reliant we are on China.

The US invaded and occupied 2 countries on the pretext of terrorism and “weapons of mass destruction”.

Russia is seen as an invading force for attempting to protect Russian population in a country that borders its own.

If you’d asked me in 2012 if I supported dissolving NATO, I’d have called you crazy.

Ask me now…

This could be a good thing. The monopoly Microsoft and the x86 architecture have had on computing has hampered new development for decades.

China is experimenting with different architectures and open source OS’s. It’ll be very interesting to see where this leads.

The vast majority of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border.

It's bloody cold up there.

Source: self (who has visited many times) and all my mums family who live in Canada.

Also, Canada has become something of a US vassal state. As much as the general population may complain about Americans (and they do) their politics has become a fun house mirror image of the US. They're neo-liberaling just as hard, if not harder than us. The only real difference is, some guy managed to get universal health care passed in the 50s, or they'd frankly be much worse off than they are now.

And slavery. Don't forget the slavery.

In fact, because of the wording of the 14th amendment, it's still cool. As long as you get locked up for committing a crime first.

It isn’t that nuanced. The colonized, subjugated population is rising up rather than laying down to continue getting slaughtered.

Liberate Palestine.

It’s almost like those companies are headed by a spoiled rich white kid from South Africa who grew up with apartheid…

Not an ounce of sympathy. He’s an awful human and has done immeasurable harm.
