“Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”

I got harassed today for my loaner, the same day I got it.

How about not borrowing a Swasticar?

The keyword here is “people”. Is someone who chooses to be or support a Nazi still entitled to be considered a “person”?

I vote NO.

Rick Hillier was also trying to encourage Canadians not to boo their closest neighbour’s anthem.

Rick Hillier can fuck himself with a rusty pipe.

Criticism of racism in the USA goes to the very fundamental nature and founding principles of that country. Their constitution enshrined racism and oligarchy from the very beginning, their country was founded on genocide and grown through slavery abd imperialism. Talking badly about racism impugnes their very soul.

Asymmetric war is just so asymmetrical.

Resistance is not futile, the USA has not prevailed (single-handedly) against resistance movements in any country of our size in their history. IEDs are cheap, effective, and relatively easy to make. Canada has farms with fuel oil and fertilizer, and lots of firearms.

This strategy has served the oligarchy for thousands of years, why change now? Goes hand in hand with the “divide and conquer” strategy.

Blocking affordable EVs while building oil pipelines… that’s some bold commitment to stopping climate change!

Not one of them, but if I had to guess why:
The U.S. has a better PR department.
And fewer monarchs.

Except on December 4th 2024. There is hope it was not a one-off.

PSA: Remember, oligarchs are not bulletproof.

The evidence points to the incineration of the planet as the long game of the ruling class.

They had to lay on the fairy tales quite thickly to get the proles to fight their war for them.

Still not going to set foot or spend a penny in that fascist shit-stain of a failed country. Canada needs to take this as a wake up call, the USA cannot be trusted. Ever, For anything. And Canada needs to pull its head out of the US’s ass when it comes to foreign policy as well.

May I introduce you to torrents and Plex?

Also this is the second time Trump has been elected. Whatever excuses people have, I can’t look at this as a one off or crazy event. I have to see this as the future of American diplomacy and how we can expect to be treated.

tRump is not an aberration, the world is now seeing the USA with the mask dropped. Oligarchy is baked into the U.S. constitution, rich white males have ALWAYS held the power there, despite all the window dressing and PR campaigns. The county was founded on genocide, built on slavery and imperialism, they burned women at the stake for fuck’s sake. The slogan “Kill a Commie for Christ” is not just a bumper sticker for half of them, but a bucket list item.

The USA: “Land of the Free ®” has made it illegal to boycott the Zionist entity.

“The Earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.”

~Utah Phillips

Inb4 pedant quibbles that “the planet itself is not dying.” Yeah, but we and our fellow creatures are. It should be understood that is what Mr. Phillips meant.

TWO political parties? The US has ONE Corporate party with two right wings.
