Go Canada

While I am fairly sure Ive said it before it does bear repeating, the worlds biggest military and nuclear power descending into civil war would be a bad thing for the world. So lets hope that is not necessary.

An excerpt from a YouTube comments section.

Have an original thought ever and not a nonsequitir.

is there one?

would we all just be exterminated before we got a chance?

Luckily, I don't think that's much of a possibility in our lifetimes. As red said, we've become way too pacified for that, for all the good and bad it brings.

Look at how much the Syrian Civil War screwed up the world order for a country that was a developing economy with a population of 25 million, a comparatively small army and no nuclear arsenal. If it happened in America it could destroy the world.

Accelerationism fails in the US because the people who ARE WILLING do anything are aligned with the oligarchs, and the people who WOULD do it aren't willing to. The mistaken belief is that if things get bad enough, the people who aren't willing to do anything will start being willing to do something.

I think the American public may have lived in relative peace throughout this generation, but we have access to history books more than any generation that's come before. People recognize what's happening and what needs to be done.

People recognize what's happening and what needs to be done.

They recognize that to improve the economy, they must vote Trump back in a 3rd time

I'll think about it when it's being voted on.

During Trump's first term I really hoped people would better understand the danger of executive departments, but it didn't happen at all. Liberals only wanted more concentrated power in the federal executive branch. More power to hand to the current admin. And if we get through this, they still won't have learned a thing. They will always plan like no Democrat will ever lose an election ever again. So the next despot who wins will be even worse.

This is mostly because Dems cannot get power outside of the Presidency. At least not enough to actually do anything. The Senate is rigged to give a lot of deference to Republicans. And Republicans have gerrymandered the house enough to give them an advantage (though its shrinking).

My issue with the bills is not that they'll actually pass, but rather that this is what the GOP WANTS to happen, and this is what they're actively broadcasting out to try and appeal to voters as though their voters ALSO want this to happen. It's a disturbing reality, that's all.

We all need to stop conflating our self worth as informed citizens with being plugged in to this constant stream of 0-value news.

Okay, what's a better way to stay informed?

False and weak. I've read this same cope hundreds of times since Bush. Democrats have gained power in many ways since that time, and they don't do shit with it. They serve the oligarchs, and they placate people like you by pretending their hands are tied. Then during elections they gaslight you into believing THIS is the year they will codify Roe v Wade, after for 50 years of bullshitting.

The thing is, what is the performative concession he'd even want from Canada? Trudeau is already on the way out and really this seems to stem from hating him personally.
