Much like with Russia and Putin, the fascist extremism in america isn’t going to die with one man.

I thought you were insenuating that Euromaidan was a US coup, which is a common Russian Propaganda Copypasta. my mistake.

walk away from reddit. try to find a similar community to whatever it was you lost, here. if not, make one! if that fails. get a new device, and only use reddit when you’re away from your usual internet networks.

but seriously, its easier to just walk away from reddit. reddit is an echo chamber of extremism and hopeless cluenessness. on all ends of the spectrum.

The same thing happened to me and I largely stopped caring after I discovered Lemmy. its been a lot better for my mental health too.

Cuba cant make them leave. There isn’t an ally who can back them up and go toe to toe with them like there was for a brief period between 1950s and the late 1980s…

the conspiracy brain in me, looks at ranting from people like elon musk, who say there’s going to be a population collapse, and Im thinking of Resident evil, (the bad movies).

I think they’re banking on the hope that in 20 years there’s going to be billions fewer people in the world, we’re already close to setting it off with the unprecedented increase of state vs state wars since 2020. Azerbaijan/Armenia, Israel/Levant, and even bigger ones that we’ve not seen since the 80s like Russia/Ukraine and with all probability, China/Taiwan by 2028 at the latest.

they’re banking on there being less people to feed, house, and otherwise provide for. so they can fall back to a kind of corpo-feudalism

I guess I never looked into the Imran Zakhayev charachter very much, he just looked like a wrinkly old angry one armed russian dude to me.

what are you talking about, hysterical attention grabbers are their meal ticket.

Those still clinging to the rules based order need to realize they are under attack. Its war on multiple fronts.

Under attack by Russia, Iran, North Korea and Chinese military action. and Under attack by Often Russian aligned, Fascist elements within NATO countries. Trying to seize power globally.

Most of Canada isn’t even habitable for weird Canadians. I live close to Maine, and there are some times of the year where you arne’t leaving home for a day or two until the snowplows dig everyone out. and our winters are MILD

Officially removed the last strings of being a colony in 1982. the head of state with the monarchy was kept as a tradition for the oldies.

Now more accurate to say Commonwealth member, Ally of many, and founding member of NATO.

I was speaing from the point of view as someone in north america having to deal with american aggression, Yeah the US would lose its bases across the world in short order, but No one is going to be able to come to the aid of Canada or Mexico if they were invaded. Not as long as the US still has the USN,

and the next two largest Navies, are also states Canada would never accept help from, Russia and China… China is a hard sell, if America was hostile, and China extended a hand, yeah there’d be strings attached, If it were my choice, I’d take it if it meant it was Only Chinese assistance. Russian on the other hand, The Russian ideology is incompatible with life as we know it, I’d rather go down fighting than ever shake hands with Z-Nazis who I personally believe are the ringmasters of this entire world crisis with America turning the way it is.

(also a good portion of the Russian navy is creating a coral reef at the bottom of the black sea, where it belongs)

You lost me at Ukraine. Ukraine was a domestic revolution against a Russian puppet government that acted in defiance and betrayal of the Ukrainian people. The Ukrainians didnt need any help getting pissed off and rioting in the streets when their president stabbed the entire nation in the back.

that when the shit hit the fan and the Yanukovitch government was about to fall, every regional and global power on earth was scrambling to try to get a favorable outcome while the streets of Kyiv were being fought between a mob of protestors and those protecting the Puppet state government.

those “phonecalls” that Russian propagandists love to talk about, weren’t quite the Gotcha that they think they were, because dozens of countries were having those same phone calls, it doesnt happen often, but anytime a state government falls, thats actually normal for those calls to go on. Its outside actors trying to put the peices back together in a way that benefits them and their interests. (if you think Western countries having those calls on Ukraine’s future was bad, boy do I have a horse to sell you on what was happening in Russia, Short version, it resulted in a full scale war.)

People talk about what caused the Euromaidan and who was responsible for it all the time, but critical and central issue they never seem to bring up when they argue about “Big bad Russia, evil CIA coup, etc” is the Ukrainian people. The population of the country where it happened is treated as if it wasn’t a factor with agency at all, that they only revolted because some guys at the US embassy gave them some signs and told em to. that line of reasoning frankly needs to be told to fuck off.

and America inherits an insurgency of people that effortlessly blends in to its own population, and pikachu faces as “terroist” attacks from Canadian sympathisers and Enraged Moderates and Democrat leaning types decide that its time for a civil war against the Tyrannic regime.

It’d be the US kicking everyone elses shit in, until the British and French let the nukes fly, I hate to break it to you but the US is multitudes more powerful than the rest of NATO, NATO can still burn the US, but they’ll burn with it. Same goes for Russia.

conventionally, the US is the world hegemon as far as naval and air power goes, they are unbeatable.

what the US doesn’t have the stomach for , is occupation. they were defeated by mountain men with 70 year old Kalashnikovs on the other side of the world, who were so culturally different from them they might as well have been aliens, Just imagine what it’d be like against an enemy on your doorstep that looks and talks just like you. that you cant tell from your own. Wait, you dont’ even need to imagine, because it already happened, Look at how Russia’s occupation was torn apart by the Ukrainian resistance. The only way they ever secure land is by bombing it to dust and moving in.

and unlike Russia, America has a formidable faction within its own borders who would revolt and start a civil war if the Trump/MAGA administration became hostile to America’s friends and allies.

with the foreign interference report in the news in canada, canadians need to be reminded that america is also foreign actor that intereferes with our country’s affairs. They are just as Malicious as the Indians, Chinese and Russians. At least the intereference that comes from the EU is still in our own interests, unlike the robbers, theives, killers, and hopeful Suzerian’s of the others

in my heart I know the intent of the morons speaking about it serious, while the feasability of it actually being attempted, is not.
(Drop the world into chaos with a few nuclear blasts and escalation of state wars, that might change and the Americans will probably try it)

that being said, Canadians are open to using violence to protect their sovereingty. We’ve been killing fascists and imperialists since 1914, we are quite good at it. We thought we were going to be killing Russian fascists next, but have no qualms about doing it to American Fascists if forced to.

No, it just would have made Trump’s victory even more sad and pathetic. The goose is cooked, Out of Americans who care to get off their ass and vote, there are more Jingoistic Ultranationalists than there are not. Trump’s victory was assured if the competition was Kamala or Biden.

I use the website / app for exactly one purpose, marketplace. buy and sell shit.

I still have messenger for work purposes, as well as some family and friends. but the “Feed”. the status updates, Fuck no. burn it all.

A Polish proverb, referring to Russia, that came back into relevance during the invasion of Ukraine.

“The Rubble is preferable to your dominion”

it’s transferable here, too

the world in 2025 is multitudes more dangerous and volatile than the world the last time he was here. thats the issue.

We’ve seen an outbreak of inter-state war unlike anything since the 40s and 50s. With Russia and Ukraine And the rest of Europe, its the biggest state vs state conflict since Iran-Iraq in the 80s. and there are conflicts flaring up all over the world. Israel is going on a spree of settling every grudge they ever had, Syria as fallen, China is making final preparations for Taiwan, Azerbaijan looks like its going to invade Armenia, War is the hot topic of the 2020s.

Trump is an isolationist, if the world is going down in flames, he thinks it’s not unreasonable to suggest consolidating control over North America, just cuz.
