‘Dear Americans, we have a functional government and you don’t. Figured we would rub it in to make ourselves feel smug. :) -Canada. ‘

They have every right to do that and we deserve it, because our government is fucked and our citizens think voting is enough.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 44 points 2 months ago

I mean half don't even vote... So...

Voting is enough actually, you just don't do it for some reason, and now you have to do something else. And if you managed to screw up voting, the easiest thing there is, my hopes are quite low.

Dear Americans, we have a functional government

I feel comparing yourself to the US isn't a fair standard.

Wasn't america pro freedom of speach? crazy

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 29 points 2 months ago

That's virtue signalling. The right does it a lot while accusing everyone else of it. Very typical.

[–] SourGumGum@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

America said it was, it never actually has been though.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

We're pro our own freedom of speech, not anybody else's.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

It's just what they call propaganda over there.

Then why to you add these beeps to your TV shows when people say certain things and have eg rap albums in versions with deleted lyrics? I don't think you like your own freedom.

Dear Americans. You voted for it. We rejected our far right politician. We can be smug. Suck our Canuk dicks.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Canadians were ready to vote in the conservatives until trump pissed them off. Instead Canadians voted in a party headed by a banker who'll also financially raid the country but with decorum.

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What part of suck my Canuck dick did you not understand?

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The part where you misspelled it as Canuk.

... Its incredible to me that you managed to frame this as Canada somehow being the assholes.

No, us Americans are the assholes, for every moment we sit around and cry on the internet about how much this sucks... and not actually fucking do anything about it.

History will look back at us, correctly, as a bunch of dithering, pontificating, self-victimizing cowards, if we don't actually do something to end the Trump administration as soon as fucking possible.

The entire Western world is financially, economically and geopolitically oriented around us, our military, our currency. We were the hegemon.

Every moment that Trump and his ilk are allowed to do the insane shit they are doing, where the broader US people are not forcing him out of office, will be remembered as a moment the US population was broadly in tacit compliance with all this geopolitical version of a temper tantrum, thats causing at least hundreds of thousands of direct, uneccessary deaths, and trillions of dollars of economic destruction, around the world.

Canada has every right to be ... not even smug, they're not smug, they're just trying to point out that we seem to just be fine with having all our rights stripped away, because the way this works is, if we weren't, we would actually be doing something about it.

We are the assholes for not stopping this right the fuck now.
