Maybe it’s time we let people who know how to handle an economy run countries? It’s not like the alternatives have been that great so far.

Western education generally does a piss poor job covering colonialism. Most British folk exit their public education system having a cursory understanding of it which really says something.

No one needs communism. There has yet to be a communist society that hasn’t devolved into one party totalitarianism. It’s the antithesis of democracy.

JD Vance showed how much he cares about rural communities in Hillbilly Eulogy. Rural Americans are just impressionable pawns to Trump and his ilk.

Almost always higher pay but worse everything else. It’s a golden goose to extract revenue from but actually being American is kinda cringe especially when the USA chants break out.

At least they didn’t carve them into a mountain though?

Canada as a nation has a concept of common good.

America is obsessed with the idea of not helping the poor because if they’re not incentivized to “bootstrap,” they’ll get lazy.

Americans die of not having access to drugs that are developed In America and subsidized by American tax dollars.

I think we all know which is more ethical.

Many Americans do not care. Brains have been rotted by their social media and “anti-woke” identity politics so critical thinking is waning. They’ll pay more and find a way to not blame it on Trump.

America as a positive cultural force in the world is on its dying breaths. It was a good run. The rest of the world should be looking at moving forward while leaving America and the crypto, AI, and social networking dystopia it seems obsessed with creating behind.

The rest of the world should be emphasizing divestment in the US and, overall, leaving America behind at this critical juncture.

Trump administration says fentanyl though very little moves across the Canadian border. They’re using it to declare a national emergency and therefore bypass Congress.

From Canada’s perspective it’s to weaken Canada’s perspective it’s to weaken the Canadian economy so that it’s easier to annex.

Trump’s tariffs don’t just apply to business hours. Americans need to feel the pain that Canadians will.

Pretend to care just won him another 4 years as premier so why wouldn’t he?

Easily the whitest post I’ve ever seen on Lemmy

Canada has a lot more leverage than eggs.

The US is much better prepped to withstand the storm but he’s not going to be able to exacerbate America’s cost of living crisis indefinitely and it isn’t just tariffs on Canada that will be driving that.

Vance is the most cringe here. I swear if old age gets to Trump in the next four years Vance will do more damage to the American reputation that can be salvageable in the next decade or more.

Definitely true. We had a German professor with an essentially incomprehensible accent teaching calculus at our college. Basically everyone had to learn it from the textbook.

US compartmentalizes based on race. It’s apparent in essentially all of the media they export to the rest of the world.

Historically American society operated based on a race based caste system and the consequences of that echo into the present day.

Is there a guide you’d recommend following?

US is in a state of slow implosion. Rest of the world needs to look at collaborating while excluding the US.

My guess is China will fill the void left by the disintegration of USAID in order to boost its global standing.

I strongly encourage all nations to begin violating US intellectual property rights. Nations like India already do so with pharmaceuticals.

Eventually other nations will need to take on the mantle of tech and pharmaceutical research and development and we don’t want to live in a world where all this progress is lost.

Americans have chosen to nuke their own democracy and we need to minimize the damage done to the rest of the world as much as possible.

Eh you can achieve similar or greater privacy on a Android phone simply because it’s not locked down in the way an iPhone is.
