Yeah, well, capitalism's propaganda is working boat loads better, hence so many idiots defending it

Fwiw, I think we should have a capitalist system with hard caps on net Worth. Anything over 10M goes straight to taxes. Nobody should be able to get more than X % of all the votes, ever. Govt regulates legislation on products, safety, etc, for consumers.

This way we get the best of capitalism (free trade, basically), nobody gets too rich, nobody gets too powerful, and the government has a huge income for a giant socialist system with free healthcare, free education, free transportation, free housing, ubi, you name it.

Governments can sponsor independent journalism financing institutions that can in turn finance real independent journalism that can keep everyone honest

If nobody is too powerful, if everyone is honest and well informed, nobody can start a war over bullshit reasons anymore

Seems like a pretty American thing to do IMO.

Republicans want to add new states and are looking for conservative ones so they can keep control.

And Canadas next. This is not a drill. The orange shitgibbon and followers are not joking. Canadians will need to defend this country ourselves - even as our leaders continue to appease and suck up to the rogue US regime.

Exactly.

Confirm your trusted networks and trusted comms. Start planning ahead. Store 72h of food and water, make sure you have spare gas for generators. Establish meeting points. Stock up on first aid and medical supplies. Set a family rule for breaking news: “confirm before share” (at least two reputable sources; pause on ragebait, defend against disinfo social fracture. Get to know your neighbours, get involved in community, learn patterns.

If you have firearms make sure you have needed ammo and supplies.

If you have budget, learn to build and fly drones... Start with a cheap sim.

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.

Preferably we'd get that in writing, and with a similar promise from Denmark.

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.

US interest in Greenland has 0 to do with resources (which are extremely expensive to develop and far away from markets) and everything to do with replacing NATO military bases with US bases in order to directly threaten Europe more effectively.

The collective cowardice of the colonies divided by US attacks on their economies, and coercive miltiary equipment tribute demands, and cheerleading for Venezuela takeover, and other recent blatant election interference in Latin America (Bolivia, Honduras, Argentina, Brazil) means there are no lines in the sand. No one will come to Greenland or Canada's defense, because the cowardice that responds to US aggression against its colonies is to devote tributes in order to fight Russia alone.

There are CIA allegiants on lemmy who setup a US invasion of Greenland as a US ploy to donate all of its resources to Russia, which means just more increased Russophobia as a response and more devotion to the US to help with Napoleonic fantasies on fighting Russia.

The line in the sand on Canada's/Europe's military cooperation with the US should have been drawn at tariffs. For Canada, fentanyl excuse for tariffs is accepting a categorical lie, just as the pretext for kidnapping Maduro.

We already realize that, you have to understand there's multiple groups in the USA with varying views on what's going on. Not everyone is with the fascists or apathetic to it. People calling for us to start armed rebellion in the streets of the USA do not understand the social dynamics nor general size such would have to be. I'm okay with fascists being afraid but until we have a strong majority, especially the apathetic, to agree, they'll be labeled terrorists by the state as well as all our main media.
