Ukraine is probably our strongest possible ally if they can survive this war. All we need to do (Canada and the Europeans) is give them ammo to beat back Putin, his country is about to implode. Russia is desperate for the war to end as soon as possible. We should support them like our lives depended on it, because they will come to our aid.
I don’t think state secession is the goal imo. I think the solution here is to finish off what was started with the first american civil war, but this time don’t let any of the confederate traitors survive to breed a new generation of racist pieces of fucking human garbage. Drive every single magat into the ocean for good. Then the survivors can pick up the pieces of their own country and start the rebuilding process.
There are quite a few pro annexation Canadian traitors and fascists. And we ought to do something about them. I know of a few prominent ones in my own city. I am wondering when the right time is to take action.
People will rise up, that is true. But if Trump solidifies his power, and it wont take much longer, he can easily work around all of the other leverage we have. He is more than happy to trade with Russia, NK, India, Iran, etc. to displace anything Canadians import. They will have plenty of fuel for their vehicles.
There are still dipshits saying “it’s just hot air” gaslighting me on a daily basis. But yes we are the next Ukraine right now, it’s a mirror image. But instead of Russia’s dog shit economy, horde of orcs, and soviet weapons, it’s the United Fucking States. We are completely fucked if we don’t become pro active. In my opinion an American civil war is the only hope for our survival. And we should be intervening. A large group of armed Canadians should be going into the US when their civil war starts and backing up the real Americans and helping them fight against the fascist traitors. If we just sit here with our thumbs up our asses then Trump has a chance to solidify his power, and then we have no choice but to get fucked.
??? wont the taxes also be worthless then? Do you think I am against taxes or something?
Yes totally I have been bested I admit it. There is no contention around a wealth tax. Economists generally agree its a good idea and will be a successful policy.
jesus christ, you are delusional
ok good 1 chief
it’s just such a deeply fucking unserious idea to wait for them. Like there is no chance in hell that we can do anything if Trump solidifies his power and points the military at Canada. We are not going to be able to get ready. Our only hope is Americans ejecting him from power before that happens. We can help, and increase our chances, or we can sit here and wait and become the 51st state. Whats the point in living if we have to be subjects of fucking Donald Trump. I would WAY rather fucking die.
Okay so how would it work? Would you tax once a year based on the value of their portfolio?
Ya, we should commit an act of war against the united states. Wait until their civil war starts, and then go to war against the fascists, and help out the real Americans defend their country. Why the fuck would you wait until there are American boots on our border. That is just suicide, we are completely fucked if we wait that long. I am pursuing a gun license as well.
If you think it’s “bad faith” to be against a wealth tax, then I know for a fact you have not looked into any debate about the topic, because there absolutely no consensus. Maybe you have a book that argues in favor of a wealth tax and that’s fine, I am open to arguments in favor of it. But saying I’m bad faith, when I suggested an alternative, is fucking removed.
Mate, the united states is now the leader of the axis of evil. The world order that has made our lives peaceful just collapsed. They just stabbed their ally in the back, flipped sides, and are planning to invade our country. There wont be any elections if we don’t stop Trump. This isn’t about Canadian politics right now. We have to form an army and storm the white house or democracies around the world will fall. Americans are going to have a civil war and we need to fight with them to help them win and eject the traitor.
I don’t think a wealth tax is smart. I think the current slate of billionaires that are aligned with fascism should be rounded up and executed. But I am pretty sure every economist agrees that a wealth tax doesn’t make any sense mathematically. People have a bunch of stock either because of founding companies or investing early, and then the public gets to buy the stock, if the public thinks a company is valuable the stock rises and people become wealthy. It doesn’t mean that they actually have that much money that they can deploy. I think it makes more sense to have rules that prevent people using their stock as collateral for loans.
good one, while we are at it, lets send some strongly worded letters
There is no reason to brainstorm optimistic outcomes. We can see what they are doing. It’s an authoritarian takeover, they are allies with Russia, and they are parroting all of the same things about Canada, that Putin was saying about Ukraine. Like there is no reason not to believe them. They are telling us exactly what the plan is. There has to be a civil war, or we are fucked. Canada should be helping the real Americans win their civil war. It’s in our interest to go down there and burn down the white house again.
Americans are fighting, but they are losing. It is in our best interest to help.
I saw some discussion of them taking people with no experience for certain rolls like 3d printing/drone building stuff while you get training. But if Canadian leaders get their heads out of there ass, and we decide that we are going to put up a fight, I will enlist here.
There has been so much proof of massive efforts by oil companies to suppress the information about climate change, but conservatives have managed to spin it into braindead narratives that Big Solar is pushing “climate alarmism” to make us reliant on China. CO2 isn’t a greenhouse gas anymore, it’s actually plant food. And every disaster is actually just “weather,” and has nothing to do with climate change. I hate this fucking world. Cant wait for the war to start so I can purge these conservatives from the world. Maybe we have a narrow window of opportunity to save our species.
