“Very, very senior” officials in the Trump administration have had secret meetings with far-right Canadian separatists trying to shake the foundations of the country. The covert meetings between high-ranking U.S. officials and the Alberta Prosperity Project come as a widening rift appears between Canadian leadership and the White House.

    I think the fundamental-problem is narcissism-culture.

    The US is more narcissism-culture than the rest of us are, & that’s got consequences…

    the propaganda in US “education” is … sickening, & I’ve only seen people describing it…

    I was in the US shortly after 9/11, & … nationalism is their religion … straight-up religion.

    All-saturating, they breathe it, nothing is tolerated to happen outside it, it’s … not fun.

    Since then, I discovered that nationalism-religion is actually normal!

    Blewmy mind…

    I think that New Zealand & Canada partially escaped that, & that it’s probably the fact that Nature so defined our experiences that we just didn’t go as-far-down that road?

    Ah, you assumed I’m US-citizen…

    Sorry, no.
