The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don’t know if people understand that I’m not exaggerating. I legitimately can’t tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don’t know if people around me understand that that’s not an exaggeration.
People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it’s perfectly safe. It’s like watching people go to a store that’s literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It’s like people think if the fire department isn’t reacting then it isn’t happening
and my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too
I live in Canada. And you wouldn’t be so insistent you were safe if you were a Latino person living in the Untied States. If you are a Latino person living in the Untied States and not afraid, you’re an idiot. I hope you’re carrying proof of citizenship but that still may not help you
every latino person i know is highly educated and naturalized, so no they are not worried. they also live in very expensive areas where there is no ICE and they dont’ give rats ass about illegal immigrants being deported. they are for it.
Why in Canada do you care about illegal immigrants in another country being deported? That’s how the law is supposed to work by the way… unless you are legal you’re not suppose to be here. Were we just supposed to keep going on not enforcing the laws or something?
A huge problem with Canada’s economy is the massive immigration of the past 10 driving up costs for everyone and your governments refusal to limit immigration and/or build more housing and medical resources.
Holy fuck, I really need to read people’s comment history before upvoting their mod requests, because turns out you’re an insane misogynistic asshole I’ve voted into modding a dating community. Good thing the community is dead and you’re extremely ostentatious about your abhorrent beliefs and the effect they have on women. Let this be a lesson to me.
i’m also a capitalist. clearly pure evil incarnate.
can’t possible be i am just… different than you. and don’t take that personally.
but please cherry pick my comment history and turn it into a novel about how evil i am if that makes you feel good? personally i find that a very weird thing to do. but i don’t use the internet to moralize and become totally hostile to anyone who isn’t in total agreement with me. but i understand that concept is ‘boomer’ these days, esp on reddit.
the notion that some of us don’t have an agenda to push on other people… doesn’t really exist to you I would guess. because any neutrality or lack of alignment with your beliefs is… wrong and bad.
i have this crazy concept that other people are allowed to disagree with me and that’s OK. I’m also not an incessant doomer like most of lemmy/piefed is rapidly becoming.
Since you invited me to do so, here are some choice selections from your comment history:
Tell me more about how you don’t use the internet to moralize. Even your framing of “insane misogynistic asshole” as “evil” betrays your moralization and the reason for it. I don’t think you’re evil, I think you’re a jerk who lacks even self-empathy, needs therapy and has no business moderating a dating community.
Do I need to explain to my audience how this is misogynistic?
Speak for yourself, buddy. Ditto the previous quote.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a commenter who had such a propensity for bitching about other people, and in such blanket generalizations lacking all self-awareness or any sense of irony.
the ratio tho
I could go on, but this is easy and boring. Having done that tedious exercise, I find reason to pity you. You habitually project your own inadequacies and shortcomings onto others. You pretend you’re just so above it all, while the amount you actually care is betrayed by the amount you write and your persistence in the face of extreme social backlash. I think you hate yourself most of all and shit on everyone else as a way of making your opinion of yourself improve by the comparison. Hence the projection.
dude, you just basically took a bunch of comments, and then interpreted them to mean what they don’t mean.
but right, i’m the one whose insane. you clearly know way more about me than I know about myself. you clearly know what I meant and your projections of my intent are clearly some deep truth that i’m missing about myself right?
does it ever occur to you that maybe… you’re wrong? just flat out wrong.
but hey, if you think there are monsters in the closet, and i show you there is nothing in the closet, and you still insist there are totally monsters there… you do you. you are clearly totally blinded by your pre-existing beliefs and interpreting everything i say through that lens as to distort it to fuel your need to demonize other people… to what end i can’t really fathom. that rush of anger i guess?
I invite anyone who thinks I took the comments to mean something they didn’t to investigate the context for themselves. Watch out for edit symbols.
It’s not a pre-existing belief. I came to the belief just now and supported my belief with evidence from your comment history at which point I exclaimed, “holy fuck, I really need to read people’s comment history before voting them into community moderation.” Literally.
Again, I don’t say you’re a monster, but you’ve characterized yourself that way by proxy of my statements twice now. Get in therapy.

Go stuff your head in the sand until you stop moving. A kind hearted world would be better off.
insulting people is really going to win them over to your side
I don’t want you anywhere near my side.
that’s precisely why Trump is in power. you don’t want people on your side. you want to be morally pure. and that’s a lonely place to be.
No. It isn’t lonely on my patch of Earth with a lot better personalities than you.
so why are you upset than Trump is in power doing what he was elected to do? since it’s not affecting you in your little patch, apparently.
As I explained, I’m stressed out by my fellow countrymen ignoring the dangers and traveling to the Untied States, where Canadian tourists are getting detained.
And you’re extremely ignorant to think its only illegal immigrants who are in danger.
there is no danger. if you think Trump is going to take over Canada… i worry for your mental health.
Trump does nothing but posture. he’s a blowhard and most everything he does is fake and false and poorly executed.
but the media/social media lives by the outrage his comments cause, and so does he. you are just feeding the beast, so to speak.
some people are getting the book thrown at them. it sucks. it’s not magically different than when biden was president either, he just throw the book at different types of people.
I didn’t say I thought he would take over Canada. I said I’m annoyed that my grandmother thinks it’s funny to tell me he will and that I’m stressed by people willingly travelling to the states where I believe they could be in danger as non-americans visiting the states. Perhaps you’re confused that I care what happens to other people besides myself.
I do think Canada needs to take the threat seriously
your grandmother has a sense of humor.
why are you so stressed about what other people are doing? are you traveling to america? no, how is it relevant than?
What do you propose Canada do exactly? Ban all travel to the USA for the sake of a subgroup of citizens that may have difficulty doing so?
I’m not suggesting the government do anything. I’m suggesting Canadians stop traveling to the Untied States. Many of whom have.
Actually, I am suggesting the government prepare for the possibility of war
I mean yeah that first point is fine. and totally true, they have and more power to them.
your second however… do you realize that like the vermont national guard could take over your country? The canadian military is decades out of date in terms of equipment and training. I agree with you though that your government desperately needs to upgrade and increase it’s military spending, especially as it’s likely Russian will try to steal your arctic claims in the next 20-30 years.
Like I just fucking said, I care what happens to other people besides myself
You know the administration wants to denaturalize naturalized citizens, right? And ICE has been detaining natural born citizens while claiming their identification is fake? I don’t know for sure a born citizen has been sent away to a foreign prison, but it seems likely. And that’s another thing, sending people to a foreign prison is different than just deporting them to where they came from.
yeah and? that’s their prerogative. the american people voted this guy in, he is acting according to the platform on which he was elected.
just because you don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. and frankly you have no voting power anyway, so your opinion is irrelevant other than you getting high on your own righteousness?
i voted against Trump. I wish the Democrats had half the balls he does. Evil or not, he is actually trying to change this country and deal with problems that have been festering for decades. Sucks that he is so shitty and heavy handed about it, but it had to happen sooner or later. I don’t think Kamala would have done a much of a better job on immigration policy, porbably just continued to kick the can down the road and pretend it wasn’t an issue.
Unlike you, I am not doom and gloom about any of this. Hopefully the democrats will actually have a coherent response/policy to these things and persuade the american people to try something different.
My point was your Latino acquaintances you mentioned are still in danger even if they’re naturalized, even if they’re born citizens
no. they are not.
you are vastly over generalizing things due to an irrational fear response…
There’s no danger whatsoever a naturalized citizen could be detained or deported? I pointed out to you that they’re trying to denaturalize citizens and are detaining citizens and claiming their documents are fake and your reply amounted to “so what?”
That isn’t how the law works man. If he can change the law, yeah he can do that. As it stands he can’t. Maybe it will change, maybe it won’t.
Focus more on facts, less on fear.
