I’d love to extend rule 2 to no politics in general honestly (maybe just US politics?). I want some reprieve from it but even the damn shitposting community is overrun

We’re not sending our best [to the Olympics] :(

Nah I’m done with the US entirely. The only way I can see us moving forward with them at this point is if they split into smaller independent countries but the USA is a toxic hateful mess

I get your point and I find it annoying that US Americans have ended up taking what should have been a more generic demonym for the Americas too but it is generally the accepted term for those living to our immediate south (at least in English-speaking Canada)

Are you serious? Even ignoring the fact that doing deals with China is not “pulling our pants down and bending over”, the fact is we, as a non-superpower, need to sometimes choose the lesser of two evils and only one of the two countries is repeatedly insulting and threatening our sovereignty. Your reduction of our work on diversifying our economy in the face of (active) economic and (potential) military invasion by the USA is so maddening

edit: I assume you’re American?

The term and all the other -american prefixes has always weirded me out. It feels othering with a veil of progressiveness. I often find US progressives almost loop back around to enacting segregation again

Americans do seem to be these daya

The rest of the non-fascist world is watching. The US isn’t the entire world believe it or not

I feel like they’d do better as territories. Even the more left leaning US states have a very different political culture that I wouldn’t want imported into Canada
