  • Meanwhile, our ACTUAL PM is saying things like:

    “The most important thing right now — more important than anything else — is for Canadians to remain united. This is a time for us to pull together.

    and

    Tariffs are the USA’s plan to “see a complete collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us, is the second part of his thought. That is never going to happen. Canada will never be the 51st state”

    But that doesn’t make good accelerationist bluster for headlines, so all the Yankee media will ignore it in favour of Canadaman Dougie.







  • 80 years old! That homecoming party is going to be absolutely epic.
    op, ty for the good news today.

    Peltier, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians in North Dakota, was active in the American Indian Movement, which beginning in the 1960s fought for Native American treaty rights and tribal self-determination.

    The group grabbed headlines in 1969 when activists occupied the former prison island of Alcatraz in the San Francisco Bay, and again in 1972, when they presented presidential candidates with a list of demands including the restoration of tribal land. After they were ignored, they seized the headquarters of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

    From then on, the group was subject to FBI surveillance and harassment under a covert program that sought to disrupt activism and was exposed in 1975.

    Peltier’s conviction stemmed from a confrontation that year on the Oglala Sioux Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, in which FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams were killed. According to the FBI, the agents were there to serve arrest warrants for robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon.

    Prosecutors maintained at trial that Peltier shot both agents in the head at point-blank range. Peltier acknowledged being present and firing a gun at a distance, but he said he fired in self-defense. A woman who claimed to have seen Peltier shoot the agents later recanted her testimony, saying it had been coerced.

    He was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and given two consecutive life sentences.

  • This “Democrats are the reason we have nazis now” thing is giving “Daddy drinks because you cry.” The apathy it generates only helps the worst side keep winning.

    Because it’s nuts. People scolding the remaining leftists online and debating which sort of voting system they’d appreciate the democrats advocating for next time, meanwhile their Treasury Department now answers to completely unqualified culty broccoli-headed 20 year olds, there’s birth quotas for roads funding and nazis are snatching kids from classrooms, the Pres talking about putting immigrants in Guantanamo.

    The only way Both Sides nonsense is productive is if the goal is to keep people arguing online. O shi






  • Trusting your question isn’t rhetorical.

    Jokes aside, the Christian Dominionists running the show want the world to burn. It’s their best case scenario, endgame or whatever. But before THAT happens, they’re meant to make God’s laws in heaven Man’s laws down here, carve their faces into a few mountains, take the last grain of profit from the earth. He with the most stuff wins because God thinks like Santa (if you have more stuff, you’re a very good boy). Don’t overthink these Good Folk. Hitler and his nazis were exactly the same flavour of Imperialist Expansionist genocidal nutbars.

    They’re evil, is why.

    Hence our current speedrun towards armegeddon. It’s why they’re all about endless expansion for the O&G and military industries. It’s why they have such a violent hate-on for that environmentalist kid, Thunberg. Hope and international co-operation for the common good are absolutely their enemy. Their World To Come requires war.

    If you think like they do, of course you want to piss off anyone willing to work with their neighbour. People getting along is bad for business.
