That’s actually fairly interesting. Apparently Japan thinks we’re really into music. I wonder if there’s a Canadian pianist that’s popular over there?

It doesn’t leave my house LOL.

Trump is incredibly different from everything in your lifetime. You either haven’t been paying attention, or your a frog in a pot and just didn’t notice the temperature rising.

For all of your life things just kinda worked out, things were never super great under either party but your country didn’t collapse either. So you’re expecting things to go on like that for the rest of your life.

History does indeed rhyme, but it’s not rhyming with W Bush, or Obama or anything else in your lifetime. It rhymes with guys like Putin, Erdogan, Mussolini, and Hitler.

Trump is incompetent and a clown. But still he’s doing a lot of damage because Americans won’t stop him because of the false sense of complacency.

But while Americans stick the sand, the rest of the world is noticing. And we don’t see Trump as the cause of the problems, he’s a symptom of the rot in American culture. It’s scary having someone as deranged as Trump in power. But even more scary is what may follow him. Trump is at the top of a fascist movement, but he’s deranged and incompetent. The next leader of American fascism may not be so incompetent.

We all hoped you would just vote for the black lady and things would have indeed gone back to normal. But that didn’t happen. Americans either voted for fascism or were complacent about it as you are. So now the world has to change. Trade will be routed around the US. Alliances with the US are just paper now, they’re meaningless. The US will be isolated as Spain was under Franco.

You could’ve just voted in primaries and got some people in power that would tax the wealthy. The US is the wealthiest country in the world, just the wealth didn’t trickle down as Reagan told you it would. But if you thought being a wealthy country with a population indoctrinated into apathy on wealth distribution was bad? What happens when that wealth just isn’t there and you’ll still have a population too apathetic to think about wealth distribution?

The US is fucked and the rest of the world is trying to distance itself from you before it all collapses. But go on and keep thinking everything is going to keep on as it always has.

Countries have leaders, cultures, and history. They’re at least as real is this web forum we’re communicating on is.

Wow you’re really dedicated to attacking the political opposition to fascism. Been consuming a lot of media coming from “leftists” that have been recommended to you by the big tech companies?

Have you been listening to Hasan? I see he’s currently on the front page of twitch.tv, a company which is owned by Jeff Bezos.

Yeah, you’re totally not part of the machine at all LOL.

Continents aren’t real.

Which continent is Russia in? Is Costa Rica in the same continent as Mexico or are they in different continents? Is “Central America” a continent?

It’s all made up bullshit, so why not just say Canada is it’s own continent?

LOL WHAT?

I’m saying “leftists” are part of the same machine they pretend to rage against. For fascism to take hold, it needs to destroy political opposition (democrats) discredit the free press and it needs enemies to hate.

Leftists are are useful idiots of the fascist machine.

Should’ve advertised that the band is going to rage against democrats, mainstream media, and they’d have plenty of antisemitic (just term it as “anti-zionist”) conspiracy theories in their songs and there would be a whole lot of “leftists” that would sign up.

“Ladies and gentlemen, with great pleasure, I give you RoboCop 2.”

Oh wait, are we doing quotes that aren’t in the actual movie?

Whenever I hear news of China, they built a new electric railway, invented something new, or made massive tech progress.

A lot of things in China fall apart in a few years. You can build things fast when you don’t care about people’s rights and just force them off whatever land you need, and make people work insane hours. A lot of the amazing things China brags about is a Potemkin village, just made to show the authoritarian leaders they did got the project complete on time and they in turn use it in their propaganda. Authoritarians always love to brag about making the trains run on time, right? The reality is often different from what the media portrays it to be in an authoritarian country.

But still, China is slightly preferable to the US at the moment.

The US always wins the invasion but pretty much always loses the occupation.

Air power isn’t how you win, because it’s hard to hide a jet fighter. Assault rifles, RPGs, IEDs and a willingness to fight longer than they’re willing to is what’s needed to win the occupation.

Americans forget that Canadians served in Afghanistan. But I don’t. I know someone who diffused IEDs over there, pretty sure he knows how to build them if needed.

That would be a violation of the Ottawa treaty.

And landmines don’t actually stop an army, they just slow it down and inhibit maneuver.

The supplementary reserve of 300,000 citizen soldiers that’s being planned is a better idea. There would be no stopping a US invasion, but 300,000 resistance fighters ensures the US would lose the occupation, as it usually does.

You don’t realize the damage he’s doing to the US in general?

It’s difficult to know who’s a dissident and who’s a spy or terrorist.

Iran just threatened to kill the leader of another country. Yeah fuck Trump and all that, but you aren’t going to open the doors to anyone from a country that’s issuing threats, especially a country that’s complicit in a lot of terrorist acts.

Russia is engaged in a sabotage campaign in Europe, so the reasons for blocking Russians from Europe is similar.

Yeah China is like the Soviet Union.

My grandparents had to hold their noses and be allies with the Soviet Union for a while.

But unlike the Soviet Union which was way behind the West in technology, China is ahead of us on EVs and we will have to catch up. But before worrying about that, we gotta take down the US.

US is the same as China now. Well that’s not true, US foreign policy is way more batshit insane than China’s. If you can even call it a foreign policy… it seems to me it’s just the whims of a deranged old child molester surrounded by fucking Nazis.

And China is further away and there’s pretty much zero probability China will invade my country. With the US, who knows? Kinda stupid to send money to a country I may have to be fighting against within a year.

Do you think complaining on the internet will fix things?

Voting is an action people can do. Once people are able to do some form of action, they could be encouraged to further action. Americans are currently below the bar of even voting. You think they’re going to do more than voting if they can’t even do that?

Y’all are so much in love with the romanticized myth of the American revolution you believe that if you write some pretty words about freedom and equality there will be another “clean revolution” that will solve all of your problems. The reality is that your “founding fathers” were slave masters, their pretty words were hypocrisy meant to fool regular people into fighting and dying so that the wealthy slave masters could get wealthier by killing the indigenous people living to the west and taking their land. People were tortured for any dissent, there were massive numbers of refugees from the US during the revolution because of how oppressive the government was.

All of your rights actually came from voting, not from the bullshit fairy tale about “founding fathers” they indoctrinated you into believing from a very young age.

That’s the message that won the GOP the last election. Are being paid by them, or did you just believe someone else paid by the GOP who told you not to vote?

Be honest if aliens from space showed up and just abducted Trump and put him into space prison, how angry would you be about that?
