    The Canadian government can even say It’s an operation to take care of pedophiles.

    I don’t know if you wanna bomb DC. I like a lot of the monuments and museums there. Can you just gas it instead?

              I originally hail from north GA and spent nearly 40 years there and Atlanta, what’s wild is that while where I live now in WA is obviously more anti Trump and but the folks ain’t nearly as anti authority or “fuck the man” as we are as a baseline, there’s some of that and Oregon is a different story but I’ve found it interesting

                i had someone tell me as an Appalachian, i didn’t understand the power of a union the way she did as a Michigander and i just stared at her, dumbfounded. America’s first unions were in the south. the most powerful union America ever had was based in West Virginia. we absolutely know the power of a union, and wrote many of the tunes that have been solidified as Union Songs. the reason our unions don’t have the power they once did is largely that we couldn’t get solidarity from the Industrial unions for our Primary Unions. our collective direct action was thwarted by class traitors claiming to act on class solidarity.

                but the thing is, the southern libertarian trope? that’s not a fuckin’ act. southerners legit hate authoritarians. we hate them because we’ve suffered under them. we don’t need city folk telling us to hate authority. we need help educating our neighbors that a libertarian capitalist is just a fascist faking.

                and i’m seeing something i’ve never seen before right now. there were zero pro-trump counter protestors at No Kings. zero nazis. people are unified in their understanding of who the problem is right now that i’ve never seen before. and i live in a right to work state. but still the union is gaining power. people would rather potentially get fired than have their boss be a local microgod.

                  Preaching to the choir brother, the South’s got a lot of problems but the common conception that it’s a just a bunch of idiots, racist, and inbred hillbillies allows them to ignore the actual disenfranchisement and oppression going on both in the south and their own back yards. And the ruling class purposefully encourages and perpetuates that perspective, it both keeps the vast majority of the black people in this country impoverished and without representation AND keeps any sort of class consciousness from forming across different regions!

    Given recent precedent, targeting world leaders to effect regime change seems to be fair game. If someone were to, say, take out the president, vp, and all the cabinet members… Well, there’s not much we could say about it except thank you.

    Do you promise, Canada? Really promise? If you do… You can stay. You don’t have to go. Let all of our regions be vassals until each respective one individually proves itself worthy of becoming a province. The province of New England would welcome you as liberators and celebrate your arrival as the new independence day…

      To me this attitude is the equivalent of telling a comedian to “stick to comedy” when they make jokes about politics, or how “woke” sci-fi is when they make commentary on society.

      These things are intertwined, to a large degree.

      It feels weird rooting for another country, but the USA sucks big donkey dick right now. I’m team Iran or anyone who assassinates or abducts trump. Fuck em all.
