    Nah, UltraGigaGigantic is correct. Canada is a genocidal settler-colony and an imperialist country. The problems with the US also exist in Canada, and Canada is also slowly decaying. You should heed your own advice and get organized.

      The difference is we don’t make excuses for our history. We don’t go to court to make sure our schools hide it. We don’t call historical fact “anti-Canadian” because it makes us uncomfortable. We don’t mistake national mythology for patriotism.

      Canada has blood on its hands. We know. We teach it. We argue about it in public. We dig up the graves.

      And if fascism comes for us, our highest political principle will not be keeping ourselves comfortable while somebody else pays the price. We have guns, and ours aren’t just for show.

      We know that only one thing ever stopped Nazis- and we will deal with ours while you accommodate yours.

      Watch.

        Canada is still a genocidal settler-colony that runs on imperialism. The capitalist system conceding that Canada has a bloody past does not excuse the bloody present.

            No? I’m a communist and I organize directly against MAGA. I’m encouraging you to do the same against Canada.

                No? I’m a member of a communist political party, I actively do outreach and work on political struggles. Voting is very low on our priority list. You have no idea who I am or what I do. Cut the condescending demeanor.

                  Who are you trying to impress? You’re a coward. Go fuck yourself. We’re done.

                    I’m not trying to “impress” anyone, I’m encouraging you to channel your energy into doing practical work in Canada.
