Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.
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.
I think Canada should be on notice right now. I can’t believe I would ever say such a thing, but as a US citizen it just seems to me like these people have no line they won’t cross.
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.
I'd like to cite the last two definitions given by Shoshanna Zuboff for surveillance capitalism:
7. A movement that aims to impose a new collective order based on total certainty;
8. An expropriation of critical human rights that is best understood as a coup from above: an overthrow of the people’s sovereignty.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.
Venezuela should have been the line. Want to make it Greenland? So, they can take mexico, Cuba?
Each inch they take is too much. They have proven that they are following the Fascist guidebook.
Venezuela is the first step. Same as Hitler with Poland.
Poland was the last step, which is what started WWII. I think you mean Czechoslovakia (or maybe the Rhineland) was the first step.
Dear Canada:
Issue a warrant for Miller and his fascist wife and abduct them in the middle of the night.
Apparently we will just go with it now.
This would be exactly how Canada becomes the 51st state.
The tiny news item a few months ago about Miller and family moving out of his suburban house and onto a military base with the flimsy excuse about feeling threatened by sidewalk chalk doesn't seem so amusing now.
You don't get it.
The people posting shit like that WANT TO KILL.
They are bloodthirsty. They are warmongers. They want a bodycount.
There's nothing more to realize about the joke because it's not a joke.
America is ruled by murderers.
We know it's not a joke. The three most populated cities in the US are in deep blue states and full of people who don't want this. For everyone in those cities, it would take days and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, to travel to the White House. Most of us are behind on rent, have had our cars repossessed, don't make a living wage, don't have healthcare, and have unsustainable credit card debt.
Outside of a very vocal minority, the American people are overwhelmingly united around the fact that we don't want this to happen.
However, the American people aren't in control of the American government, and the American government are overwhelmingly united around corporate interests.
I'm in this photo and I don't like it :(
Americans know. They just don’t have any idea what to do, and no single person can solve the problem.
It might take the world.... Going to war.
The world doesn't need to go to war, it needs to stop being afraid of a major economic downturn.
Stop everything with the US: trade, travel, everything. Deport all Americans back to their native soil. Isolate them, and see how quickly things change.
While we're at it, do the same with Russia and Israel. And maybe China?
Would it cause a global economic crisis? Probably. But people are already dying—it's worth it if we can actually end a genocide and a couple wars.
So much this. Just 100% stop all trade with the United States. All of it. And zero travel. Then ban US travel to your country. Give them the isolation they crave.
Anyone who thinks warmongering, fascism, and terrorism are unAmerican has not read much American history. The U.S.A was founded on genocide, grown on slavery, and has oligarchy baked in to their constitution. Hitler studied the way the U.S. treated indigenous and black people to form his genocide plans, and Israel has built on both the U.S. and Nazi examples for their treatment of Palestine.
The beat goes on.
They also have a history of not giving a fuck and finding excuses to get things done even if it's bending the rules. When European countries were paying tribute to the Barbary pirates, the US didn't have a declaration of war but they sent naval boats over essentially with the instructions "don't start it". They didn't start it, and it wasn't over super quickly, but they did finish it.
When will the rest of the world ? Not a peep from my shitty governemt here in Australia, we just keep doubling down and buying weapons from the US, nuclear submarines of all the stupid things.
Hey cousin!
We just bought some over the horizon radar from you guys!
Unfortunately we're also contemplating buying some locked down F35s that are sure to be kill switched by the US when they decide that they want our resources. I think we need to accept that the F35s are not going to happen, and instead get the Gripens. At this point it's seems like the height of stupidity to trust them, especially with our military hardware.
Locked down planes? Install Arch Linux on them
I fly arch btw
I am just waiting to see the mental gymnastics the regular US people will go through when they will be asked to fight vs EU people and they will just go with it.
Canadians? Shit, this should invoke and article 5 of NATO.
You REALLY think any other NATO's member would lift a finger? Some will just make public statement saying that's "not following international laws", some will call for "de-escalation", but no one will actually declare war to the US. They won't even send equipment's support to Denmark, as all they can spare was/is sent to Ukraine.
Similarly, is Canada actively preparing its army to defend Greenland from a US agression? Anyone believes Canada would do anything at all?
There are many who actually believe the midterms will solve this.
I don't, but also I'm fucking doing it. It takes all of five minutes. You've got the time to do it. You might as well. It can only help. It won't solve the problem, but it will make it harder for them.
Miller is the ghoul behind a lot of the worst of what the government is doing. Trump is bad, but he’s an idiot. Miller knows what he’s doing and has a plan.
Republicans want to add new states and are looking for conservative ones so they can keep control.
Yep. Expect any invasion to be in Alberta. I honestly believe this Canada shit is just ePiC TrOLLiNg by the adolescents in charge of the US government to piss off Canadians and American progressives. I hope I’m not wrong, but I do find comfort in the fact that Canada isn’t a brown/poor people country. We seem to prefer attacking those instead. I don’t know about Greenland, though. I don't think any of us understand that shit.
Fantasy: The People will revolt due to the already terrible conditions worsening before that
More realistic hopium: We'll remove Republican control from the house before then
Reality:
What's going on Canada?
