Feels like it'd solve a lot of problems.

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

I prefer this one because my state's in it

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

Alberta is the wrong colour.

[-] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah, trade Virginia for Alberta.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Could we airlift Atlanta out of Georgia instead?

[-] BingBong@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

JFC, find a way to take new Mexico and maybe Colorado as well.

[-] jwiggler@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

Jesusland makes me chuckle

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

New ones will be provided.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Canada's population is 40 million. This would add 80ish (edit:) million more people to that. So, it's not Canada annexing the blue states, it's the blues states seceding and then annexing Canada to achieve territorial contiguity.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 week ago

No annexing. The blue states join with Canada to establish a union of states. We could call it "United States" or something, or idk, I'm not good with names.

[-] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

United Provinces, we don't need to keep baggage associated with United States

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Since the remaining states are run by a convict, they could be the Con-federated States or something like that.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I think there were more than 80 people in Oregon alone

[-] lemonmelon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

The math checks out.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Lol, fixed it

[-] xploit@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Can we swap Albertans with Coloradans though?

Let's be real, it's city vs. country no matter where you are.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Not even.

Maricopa County is effectively one giant suburb and the numbers were about 50-50 for each candidate.

[-] Comrade_Spood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

It really isn't, Maine is rural af. We're called the South of the North for a reason. However we are weirdly progressive for how rural we are

Oh man, I would love to see this happen. Republicans in Texas would be frothing at the mouth to see California gone, right up until they had to start paying for all the other republican states that can’t manage to support themselves.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago

Red states are the real welfare queens

[-] CptInsane0@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Not even remotely based. States are not internally homogenous. "Let's take all the Democrats and job with Canada" is a shitlib take.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

I'm hearing a "cringe" here, though I've heard quite a few "based"s (no consesus as is tradition for leftist discourse) ... I think "based" is winning?

[-] Rezeroed@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I guess Colorado and New Mexico get hung out to dry.

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

Question is, does Canada want you?

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

I hear California's always on fire, so it'll fit right in with our west coast

I briefly saw this meme on my dad's phone while he was browsing facebook. He's a right wing Trump voter.

So take from that what you will.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Yep, this is originally a righty post. That's why I'm so confused that it's actually kind of based. The rough consensus here is that it's based, so we have bi-partisan support. Let's get this on the Congress floor!

[-] Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Better divide Oregon and Washington states in half. The east side of each state all voted red. Not sure how California voted.

"Based" is just slang. It generally has a positive connotation. So the original poster is essentially asking if this is a good idea or not.

[-] Breve@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago

As a Canadian who sees the far-right politics of the USA leaking across the border, I actually think this would be a good idea. The US can have Alberta though, I think they would be happier there.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

As an Albertan, please no

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago
[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

Absolutely not. Saw Florida off and let it sink.

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Seems pretty reasonable. I'd like that.

[-] xxd@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

The swing states are gonna be kicking themselves that they missed this chance after they come back to their senses.

[-] PhrygianFudge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Is that for or against? Do we want extra states or an "I told you so" more? Genuinely difficult question.

Lefty Memes

4377 readers
170 users here now

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes


That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here


Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such


That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.


That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.


The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
