    American here. I’m going to boo the US national anthem at a certain international sports competition later this year. Assuming it’s safe for me to stay in the country to attend it.

        I don’t think I’m one of the good guys and I honestly don’t care what you think. I’m trying to point to the people doing harm, so Canada doesn’t fall for the same shit. You guys are kind of heading in our direction. Let us serve as a warning to you. For real.

        America is not your enemy, but we do have some shitty people doing real harm.

          We see our American neighbours that are being hurt by MAGA and joining in on the boycotts and 50501 protests. Canadians and many Americans are in solidarity in the resistance against fascism. This is a meme sub, bud. We don’t need your vague warnings.

          The USA has been a terrorist nation for over a hundred years. Name three nations whose democratically elected presidents they couped in favour of an tyrant who gladly sold his nation out to US interests in the exchange of power.

          Just three.

          Man that link and following conversation was a doozy. I really don’t think I can lose any more faith in people.

            Yeah, it’s pretty depressing. That was from 2015, right when they started to ramp up. They know so much more now and with AI’s help, are so much better at it.

          A friend of Russia is our enemy, at least at this point in history.

    Just “booed”. You don’t need fancy apostrophes.

      That’s literally what the apostrophe is for, though. If you’d seen what I’ve seen in regards to contractions that shouldn’t’ve been made, y’all’d’ve lost your mind.
