I’m American born and raised and here’s the truth: whether by incompetence or malice, the United States’ politicians handed over governance duties to corporations and, for my entire life, have made choices in direct opposition to its stated values.
My government is not your friend, or friend to me or anyone I have ever met. Since at least Reagan, and indisputably since “”“Citizens United”“” it is a vessel for the primarily the military industrial complex.
The world would be in a better place if the US held to its espoused values of democracy and liberty, but although I’ve known many citizens who take these to heart in their daily lives, and are honorable and loving people, and imagine themselves members of the global community, in practice our government stands on these principles only so far as they are profitable for the military industrial complex, and for billionaires.
They have stripped hollow our education system and trampled consumer protection at every turn. They have at multiple times operated illegal concentration camps, and served as inspiration to the nazis themselves. They have waged death for oil and resources, in our name. When we stand against them, they imprison and kill us.
The world is deeply ill-served by a globally influential United States until massive systemic change occurs. They must give us ranked choice voting. Curb the supreme court. Enshrine systemic balance in policy, not gentlemen’s agreements. Until then, ice us the fuck out and save yourselves from our lunatic leadership.
What do you expect this 1 person to do? Are you expecting us to kamikaze 1 at a time? That seems to be the sentiment I’m seeing everywhere. “Fuck you pieces of shit for not changing your country” when the pieces of shit have done everything they can within their sphere of influence.
I’m sure you’ve seen the uproar from 1 woman trying to do something. She was immediately executed for attempting to make a change. The legwork is being put in, just look up Minneapolis. They’re fighting back, but soon the military will descend upon them and I’m sure as you’ve heard, the US military is very effective. What do you think will happen once our own military takes out all the “others” aka the pathetic spineless worm you replied to?
Fuck off, you’re just throwing a tantrum at this point. I’d like to see you take on the US military.
If you’re actually interested in motivating action you should start by considering that maybe it’s possible people are trying and that there are entrenched systems of oppression that dull their impact, or its visibility to you. And that you don’t know everything about what someone is doing based on what you’ve personally seen online.
If all you’re interested in is browbeating strangers to vent your frustrations in the guise of productive discourse, by all means, carry on.

Sorry. You’re right. I’m being mean.
I’ve completely forgotten the USA is the best country the world has even seen. Americans are the best people in the world. Hardworking, bootstrap, god-fearing, titans of industry who deserve nothing but praise, ass kissing, and baby talk.
I’ll promptly correct my globe to say “Gulf of America” and order a bunch of useless bobbles off Amazon to atone for my sins.
That’s a lot of talk about dying. You ever been in combat? It pretty much sucks. The US is a Cleveland Steamer and I won’t raise a finger to defend it.
I will become friction in the gears. Whenever and wherever I can without putting my family at risk.
You need to not be a dick to people. How about you grow a pair of balls and go to America and change all the bad that’s going on there? Pretty easy, right? Be the change you want to see or shut the fuck up.
I work with politics in Canada. I hold fundraisers. I support social programs. I volunteer. I door knock for awareness. I’m putting in the work in Canada for Canada.
I’ve already said many times if the US crosses into Canada I’m more than willing to blow my shit up to take down a few American Nazis. I’m willing to die for my country to defend it.
I AM the change I want to see and I’m ready to give my life for the change.
Sorry your country isn’t showing you the work people are putting in over here then. I’ll bet that you, without a sense of irony, think it’s shitty that all Americans are racist or something, because it’s bad to judge large groups of people poorly over the actions of only some of that group or believe in stereotypes.
Weird, my auto correct on the phone did it both ways, so maybe it’s a dialect or something. Too bad I’m illiterate.
Can’t even tell the difference between judging a person by their actions and judging people by where they’re from, tsk tsk. And here I thought our education system was bad.
Shut the fuck up until you go demand your government do anything but cower in fear. You’ve absolutely nothing at risk but 300m Americans actively being suppressed are spineless cowards? Give me a fucking break

With you. It’s so lost at this point it’ll be painful to fix it. Very painful.
The longer it is allowed to proceed on its current trajectory, the harder it will be to fix.
We don’t need the US to reform itself and be good. We need the US gone from the world.
Only then, there will be peace
Jesus fuck. Grown a spine.
What you wrote is the very reason you are in the situation you’re in. Americans are pathetic spineless worms.
Be the change you want to see or shut the fuck up. Stop making excuses. You need to put in the work.

They can start by not being a sobbing wimp and pushing off all blame onto others. His entire post is “they” and not “we”.
He is part of the problem and not owning up to it.

Wow, you actually took a position but it’s not the one I expected!
Still don’t see you taking on the US military. Please do by all means.
If the US crosses the Canadian border, I 100% will take on the US military.
Here is the thing. I know my death won’t win the war, but I can use it to stop a few Nazis. That’s enough for me.
Are YOU willing to die for what you believe in?
That’s a lot of talk about dying. You ever been in combat? It pretty much sucks. The US is a Cleveland Steamer and I won’t raise a finger to defend it. I will become friction in the gears. Whenever and wherever I can without putting my family at risk.
No, I’ve never been in combat. I’m also not talking about being in combat or part of the military. I don’t have the personality for the military.
I’m talking about old fashioned, grass roots, guerrilla retribution. I’m not afraid to die and I’m ready for it.
No plans now, but if the US crosses the Canadian border, I’m sure many opportunities will present themselves.
The minute Americans started their 51st state bullshit, I got angry. I know many other Canadians feel the same way.
If they try it, my plan is to be remembered.

Eat shit ya judgemental bastard.
As you judge me. LOL.
Also, it’s spelled judgmental.
Weird, my auto correct on the phone did it both ways, so maybe it’s a dialect or something. Too bad I’m illiterate.
Can’t even tell the difference between judging a person by their actions and judging people by where they’re from, tsk tsk. And here I thought our education system was bad.
I don’t actually care. I understood what you meant.
I was just having fun.
I’m glad I’ve met other Canadians and don’t judge entire countries based on a few people like you do.
Ok buddy very insightful
