Yeah this thread ended up being more hostile to regular Americans than I intended but US culture and US global hegemony are the things that attract and amplify the shitty people from around the world.

USA is the final boss of capitalist imperialism and the people have completely lost control over the reins. It's now a matter of when they actually say enough is enough, be it now or after Fascism runs its course and hurts millions of others around the world as well.

Early Reddit was more thoughtful and the communities were smaller, Lemmy theoretically could be the same, but a big problem IMO is that all social media has blended together and people are sharing stuff they see on Twitter and Facebook on every other platform.

Social media hadn't been so homogenized during old Reddit, and it was a lot less acceptable to cross pollinate between social media platforms.

The old Internet is just dead, in general. You would have to ban links like this that are just "other social media" on Lemmy. Otherwise, there aren't really any walls between the communities at all.

Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.

We're not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.

Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets

These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it's dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don't have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don't feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

Stop your billionaires from funding right wing bullshit in my country then

After all the shit you're giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He's a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he's your creation.

why are you communicating this question if it's got a trivial answer you're demonstrating by asking it? Why even say anything?

There's no point raising prices, as if employees aren't going to pass that on to their employers by demanding higher wages. Why do companies always try to increase their profits by raising prices?

Perhaps if Israel committed to giving up its nukes, withdrawing its illegal settlements, and giving Palestinians civilian trials instead of military trials, the Arab world would be open to cooperation

That's valid, for the record these are recent comments.

If the United States occupied most of Ontario's territory and displaced Canadians to do so, then it continued to exert control over the rest of Canada and gradually demolished Canadian homes to build American homes, then it started allowing American civilians to terrorize, murder, and loot Canadian towns, and so on.... Would you say Canadians need to just chill out and enthusiastically support the US?
