Big talk from the dude who got knocked out by a punching bag.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

Hell, not even the US wants to be a part of the US under the current dictatorship.

The amount of treason that is openly committed by these people is astounding.

Is there no law or anything like this in place? Why hasn’t our government called her out on all her actions? She’s suppose to be representing Canada and doing what’s best for Alberta and Canada. She’s literally popping over there and openly committing treason. There’s no other way to see this.

There are genuinely intellectual conservatives but the oligarchic media intentionally prop up pseudointellectuals to further dumb down the population. And I guess it is working.

Let us all remember that when the Soviet Union fell, they did not end the Cold War, they just changed tactics.

It's well known that their most effective tactic for destabilizing a nation is to pour resources into boosting both sides of every debate or social issue, this poisons the well so nobody knows what's real and just defaults to whatever the controlling party says is real. It's an astoundingly effective tactic for killing the spread of news and information that people could use to organize, and sowing infighting and distrust between potential oppositional groups.

They are doing a very similar tactic right now, by boosting absurdism like the whole narrative of an "armed takeover of Canada" as if that's even possibly a thing. Casual browsers know somewhere in the back of their mind that it's absurdism, but they hang on every word because it's sensational.

This is WWE theater. Like the whole administration since the beginning, it's designed to spin stories to keep dumb fucks engaged and wondering what's going to happen next, simultaneously believing in the stories but also knowing logically it's not true. Literally the same cognitive dissonance that made us have to argue with our friends back in the 90's that no, the World Wrestling Federation is NOT employing actual necromancers, that no, it's not a real sport, no the performers would not be allowed to bring swords and weapons into the ring if it was real.

USA has no actual intention of taking over countries like Canada and Panama, they just want to make some huge distraction and sensational story, so that when they change interest rates or deregulate some banking laws, nobody will notice. We'll all be here arguing with each other if it's even possible for the USA to "take over" a neighboring nation, with the same earnestness that we used to explain that using a steel chair in a sporting event could be considered disqualifying in normal circumstances.

This isn't to say the rhetoric isn't dangerous, but what they're doing financially is going to be far more damaging to our actual future in America.

Under almost any other administration, I’d agree with you, but Trump either isn’t thinking rationally or seriously misunderstands reality; his behavior repeatedly goes against his own interests.

I like how these fuckers are able to just say anything rn

[–] Bleys@lemmy.world 136 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Threatening a foreign citizen (and former PM no less) with

  1. Invasion of his home country
  2. Expelling him from that country
  3. Forcing him into manual labor in another country (which also is currently independent)

That is insane, even as a joke.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As someone else pointed out, Trudeau was the PM at the time of the post so I'd say even more insane.

She wants to take your health care, and turn it into profit share, and split it up with P-Pierre, and that ain’t fuckin right. She’s turned into a MAGA hag, she’s turned against our Maple Flag, vote against this traitor slag.

And when libtards rise up, you and your dry-wife will be raised up, too.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And when libtards rise up

checking the history of Italy from 1919 to 1940

I cannot find anything in here about liberals rising up. Did you mean... socialists?

To "work the canal"? Does this idiot think they row the boats through it or something?

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 22 points 3 days ago (4 children)

He thinks they are digging the canal or something. Can't blame him, the american education system is a failure

I don't know how to not say this offensively but he's a jew and would be one of the first to be expelled under fascism lol

[–] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Jews aren't the Boogeyman of the current palingenetic fantasy, so they'll be largely left alone (unless they protest Israel.)

And he shamelessly admits that the end goal is state managed slave labour...

It's very clear that the only thing Ben knows about Panama is that it has a canal.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 9 points 3 days ago

Apparently not yet, since they send people there to work on it.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 72 points 4 days ago

Ben Shapiro, the fascist everybody. At least they aren't kidding it anymore.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 52 points 3 days ago (8 children)

I wonder what the US will do with their Russian shills after this trump nonsense is over. I mean, at some point you gotta recognize traitors that are trying to destroy your country by lying to everyone, or in the case of this turd, yell over everyone with their lies

I didn't expect that from Shapiro. I have plenty of criticisms of Shapiro but I did not expect him to threaten the former head of a foreign, Democratic Government, a long time ally. Is this real?

[–] cheerytext1981@lemmy.ca 107 points 4 days ago

At the time, that was the current head of a foreign, Democratic government!

[–] ninthant@lemmy.ca 86 points 4 days ago

Reset your expectations.

Not only is this real, he also went on to say that the threat was only valid if PP didn’t win. This is public record and you can verify with a web search on multiple media outlets.

This is who Danielle Smith pals around with at taxpayer expense.
