Sect of state Marco Rubio confirms Cuba is next on the list of governments the Trump regime is planning to overthrow. This is empire. This is modern day colonialism.

It’s definitely the latter. Carney has his tongue as far up Trump’s ass as it will go, and the hope here is to just wait Trump out and then expect everything to go back to the way it was before. Liberals are utterly incapable of understanding that the world has changed, they think Trump is just an aberration they need to wait out.
That’s about what I’m observing as well, yes. It’s business as usual here. Every deluded fool in office definitely thinks that they can just hold their breath until our heroes the democrats get into the White House and clean up the mess up for them. And the actual citizenry has become so numb to watching imperialist violence happen to non-white countries on TV that none of them seem to see the boomerang coming. They’re election-brained so they all let go of the anti-yankee animosity the SECOND the election was over. It’s really fascinating just how quickly the eLbOwS uP shit ended.
I myself think that because our military has been welded to theirs since 1945, they won’t need to invade or anything, just show up in Ottawa and dictate demands. And parliament will pass the North American Security Compact Act or whatever they’ll call it and give them absolutely everything they want (including the ability to freely send goons onto Canadian soil to deal with “security threats”) and leave us all penniless. And then, possibly, they will awaken to the fact that Canadian Sovereignty was only ever just a buzzword deployed during election season or whenever we need to fulfill our duties as handmaiden to the emperor.
Oh yeah, Canada is basically a colony already for all intents and purposes. We don’t have any independent military here, and our political class is closely aligned with the oligarchs south of the border. In fact, I highly doubt the US would actually need to take any military action. The most likely scenario is that they’re going to exploit tension growing out of collapsing standard of living, and just do a political takeover.
I popped in on r/CanadaLeft and I’m not gonna bother posting screenshots cuz I think that kind of dunking is a bit tacky and unproductive, but based on what I’m seeing it will be very very easy for them to (further) puppeteer the country by simply framing it as “Trump’s Fanboy Wins Election”.
It’s Limited Hang, just truthful and appealing enough of a narrative for radlibs to buy into, but distracting enough to make it seem like something that can be solved with more elections and more posting about elections. There are definitely users there who are on the level enough to acknowledge what we’ve already talked about here but good lord are there a ton of people there who need to come to jesus about what Canada actually is and not what they imagine it to be. And maybe learn about some history every once in a while that doesn’t come from a Heritage Minute, goddamn.
It’s hard for people to accept that they live under the dictatorship of capital and there’s no action they can take within the rules of the system that will actually be meaningful. It’s a hard pill to swallow when you’ve been conditioned all your life that you live in a democracy and all you have to do is vote harder if you don’t like what’s happening. I expect that people will cling on to that for a while yet.
