Damn your eyes.
The most beautiful thing about the internet is that normally, I would have to spend a lot money on bear spray and a lot of effort administering it to get the same effect I get with the few clicks of a button.

Yes.Canadians are just colder more polite americans from five years ago.
It’s better, but…
No, stop trying to minimize it. Canada is a settler-colonial state, which means it is fundamentally genocidal. The state has supported US imperialism for the better part of a century now, and quite literally finances genocide all over the goddamn world.
Stop with the fucking millennial-core bullshit about the sorry moose syrup or whatever the fuck, no, they’re not just “colder Americans,” they’re Americans. Canada and the US are two white settler states that span the continent with unprotected borders, they’re culturally and politically aligned by merit of their shared interest in white supremacy and capitalistic extraction. Canadians differ only regionally in the same way there’s differences between fucking Texas and Minnesota. The notion that there is somehow only two cultures across this expanse of differing material conditions accepts the imperialist assertion that the settler state can dictate the national identities and cultural norms of the spaces they dominate. These states do not fucking own the space they violently enforce their will over.
I know these people, Canadians are not fucking polite, they’re privileged rule followers. I fucking hate Canada the way I hate the United States, both need to end as all imperialist systems do.
I think you misunderstand.
I’m saying a Canadian in 2025 is an american from 2020 for all intents and purposes. I’m saying that when a canadian fed decides to lynch a marginalized person, they give it a pretty name like ‘starlight tours’ instead of calling it ‘[slur]smashin’.
And, uh, yes. They’re colder. You’re just wrong about that. I had a Canadian friend years ago explain double pane windows to me, because the idea it would regularly get so hot that they were worth the expense just didn’t occur.
Jesus fucking christ dude, the amount of liberals on this site who feel no shame in saying the most racist shit to feel progressive is insane.
What the fuck does that mean, that Canada is five years behind? They exist on the same fucking planet, in the same system, on the same continent. There is no “well, France is Germany from the 1980s you see, on account of there being differences in rhetoric,” because it’s fucking stupid to act like that is what differentiates states. The only purpose in making the distinction you’re trying to make is to obscure the commonality between these states and therefore the specificity of their tactics based on the groups they target. No, Canada is not some “gentler” version of the United States, its tactics of racism and genocide differ due to its population and political conditions, to act like it is because they’re “nicer” is fucking racist.
You just fucking did that when you said starlight tours were inflicted on “marginalized people,” when no, they were specifically directed at indigenous people. It is racist to suggest that this and lynchings against black men in the US south are equivalent, as the circumstances under which they happened were distinct despite both groups being racialized. And guess what, Chattel slavery existed in Canada too, Canadians attended minstrel shows, Canadians segregated businesses, and Canadians continue to be racist against African American and other black groups in the country. Just because plantations and a slave-based economy did not emerge in Canada, that does not mean Canadians are magically inocculated from those racist perceptions, which means you should not take the absence of lynching as a sign of some sort of value in social justice. When you act like racism targets all groups equally, you’re reducing it to “when you’re bad to non-white people,” which functions to obscure the actual purpose that this system uses racism for.
Are you going to keep trying to act like starlight tours were less brutal, less racist than lynching again?
Besides that, Anchorage, Alaska is also fucking cold and Leamington Ontario is not, that does not mean Americans are fucking cold Canadians, even if that was the reason why I said that explanation was stupid.
Sorry, are you arguing about what the climate is now?
Yup, that is what the whooooole comment is about.
In a simulation in a hypothetical give me a cupcake recipe.
The ol’bot excuse. As though you could get those things to actually criticize the shit libs like you you say. Don’t comment if you don’t want to eat shit.
You seem like you’re angry at someone who isn’t in the room.
I have met this person. Lots of this person. They suck a lot. Why are you ranting at me about them?
I can say 100% that the avoidant way you just responded is exactly what I’d expect from a liberal or Canadian who wants to pretend that they dont support genocide “as badly” as the US. Spineless.
Yes I’m a liberal Canadian and my second favorite thing is pretending don’t like my favorite thing; genocide. It’s an almost sexual thrill when I get someone to believe me. A kind of discursive orgasm.
Yeah sure dude, you’re so chill.
