How the tables turn, doesn’t feel so good having other people wish YOU a good day does it liberal??
(jk happy b-day)

At work today I saw a Toronto Sun headline on this that said BLOOD IN THE STREETS which immediately told me what this is all about

It definitely does, yeah. The onus is obviously on the US itself and not it’s victims and I don’t think I alone could somehow do better, just acknowledging some historical patterns.

fucking horrible but thank you for asking anyways

i feel like we do this every single year

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.

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.

Yeah I agree. This wouldn’t just be a simple sequel to covid, it’d be something far more dangerous.
Imagine an economy already leveled by the AI bubble popping, then imagine one where people are literally too afraid to go to work because there’s a 50/50 chance of them and their whole family getting sick and dying. It would be a modern Plague of Justinian.

The bourgeoisie live in hell already lol. Like all tyrants and bullies, they know deep down that they’re reviled and live in constant fear of the day when we finally snap and get even with them.
They don’t even have free will, not really. Capital is what dictates everything they do and say.
They’re not “free” at all, regardless of where they can take their private jets and what fancy toys they can buy and what twisted laws that can write and have the state rubber-stamp for them.
Control is an illusion for them too.

They’ll die then.
This isn’t covid, this is far far worse. When covid began I was grateful that it wasn’t bird flu. There won’t be any space for that kind of quibbling when over HALF the people getting sick die. No chance of just covering it up and getting people back to work. It’d be like the 1918 pathogen, whole families wiped out. It’s absolutely the worst case scenario in terms of pandemics that could realistically happen.

God help us all if it does. We’re talking about a fatality rate upwards of 50%.

who cares

when you lie down with dogs…

I know that China’s new plan around AI involves mandatory labeling of synthetic content. It certainly should be bog-standard policy but we all know what policy in capitalist societies is all about 🤑 🤑🤑

I don’t even think the toadies paid to write up these plans take it seriously. Radical industrial policy shifts take a little longer than 4.5 years to plan, pay for, and execute.

Seems clear to me that the US knows NATO is doomed and is just trying to get the EU to soak up as much of the blame as possible for when it happens. 2027 isn’t even two whole years from now. They aren’t dumb enough to think Europe is suddenly going to shit out a fully functional war economy in like a year and a half, especially when they themselves put their official rearmament timeline at around 2030. They’re setting them up for failure.
I really thought that NATO would limp on until like 2040 but at this rate… will they even last to the end of the decade??

They didn’t omit it. It’s in the body of the article, just not the headline.

You could argue that it isn’t talked about enough and they buried the lede and I’d be inclined to agree but idk, this article isn’t about climate change it’s about potential trade routes 🤷‍♂

tf kind of doublespeak is “winning the peace”. Is that the same thing as a Moral Victory? Just give these assholes a participation trophy and tell them to move on already.

Damn at this rate it seems like Z’s administration will be finished by New Year’s.
