It would be one of the greatest political opportunities on this continent in a long time if this happened. The Canadian Nazis everyone here hates, rightly, and which ppl have also apparently decided everyone in Canada (including the indigenous peoples stuck under the setter-colonial system of "Canada") deserves some kind of ontological punishment for, I guess, are the people the US is gonna put in power or at least use to repress any movement that could resist this. Omg I know, I'm really doing "not all Canadians" but fuck, the imperial relationship does make us do the strangest things. Sometimes a reactionary power can transform into a revolutionary one in the right context. Even the Redditors talking about how willing they are to die "for their country" would have to decide quickly how to navigate this situation and how they actually feel about "their country" when the existing government probably immediately collaborates with the Americans to hand over the country

There is no progressive way to "put on the American trucker hat" and take pleasure in the destruction of yet another country's (at least kinda existing)-sovereignty before the empire's military. This "joke" is only something Americans can even do lol

Hexbears leaning into imperialist chauvinism when the empire goes after a country they don’t like?

I mean to be fair often those are their true colors lol.

yea

Its uhhhhh getting better seemingly. This forum remains quite brainwormed but I think some of the ideological struggling of the last few months has had a good effect even if the site is still very white and American :/

It's still so far ahead of the vast majority of spaces on the English-speaking internet at least

Yeah. It's really bleakly depressing, isn't it?
