i appreciate you being more rational and less jingoistic about this than most canadians i meet rn. don’t get me wrong, i understand their reaction given the circumstances, it’s just detached from reality for the reasons you layed out here.

i don’t think the world understands as well as americans who were raised here exactly how much the american military dwarfs every other similar institution on the planet in every respect that matters.

like, it is quite literally the largest and most powerful military in human history and it’s not even fucking close. the US could declare open fucking war on the entire rest of the world and stand a reasonable chance.

that’s why the neofascist taking control here matters to everyone. they’re gonna try and conquer the fucking world. think that sounds absurd? so did everyone in the West when hitler said the same thing, and he got dangerously close.

Canada would be the France of that variation of World War 3. We would surrender almost instantly.
