    It’s always wild to see. The fascists are literally willing to storm the capitol if some neolib gets voted in. The liberals and leftists are all like “WELL WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO?!”

    I expect you to do at least as much as the fascists do.

        And lucky us now we have a chance of having to go to war with them. I’ll be going down shooting. But I don’t hold any wild beliefs that we will be able to win any war against the states.

          You will win, just like Vietnam, with disproportionate losses.

          Even in Afghanistan, there were instances where they had 17 US special forces killed to 1 Taliban, so they bombed some nearby village to kill 15 people to balance out the K/D ratio.

            Thats fucked.

            I am not sure how it will go with us though. Especially in my province. Theres a lot of MAGA morons here that would betray us in a second. That was very much NOT the case in Vietnam.

            We also have drone warfare the US has been throwing into the mix lately. They did not have that in Vietnam.

            They had a Ho Chi Mihn, who is possibly the greatest general mastermind of the last century. We do not.

            They had ideal land conditions for guerrilla warfare. Most of Canada does not.

            BUT

            It does get fucking cold here and Americans are nothing if not weak and cowardly. And who knows, maybe their military will have enough dissent in the ranks that fighting a war against a white christian english speaking nation will make some of them rebel. But I mean the Vietnam war was unpopular and most people against it just dodged the draft or did peaceful protests (with some radical exceptions.) Idk I have zero faith in American liberals anymore though.

              Wait…you’re Canadian? Motherfucker we are part of the imperial core! Canada as it stands currently isnt gonna do fuck all about American imperialism because its how we get our cheap shit. We wont have Guerilla armies like the Vietnamese cause we are essentially Americans not cause of the teritory which is btw fantastic for it if you know where you live well. Thats the point of guerilla warfare. There isnt gonna be Canadian guerilla warfare happening unless its maybe native driven Maoism and that’s the best case scenario there. We arent part of the resistance we are part of the problem and should act as such. The fucking arrogance

                If you think that Canada’s imperialist impact is at all comparative to that of the US then you don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s not GOOD, but being a part of it is not going to protect us from being invaded and our government and global impacts being changed to something much worse. I do not understand what you’re not getting about this man.

              Meet your local indigenous groups. Make friends, be curious about their culture, express sympathy and passion for what they’ve been put through.

              Meet your local orgs. Make connections there too.

              Get a gun license. Legally get a gun. For hunting moose or something. You can change your mind about sport hunting after you get it. It’s a free country after all.

              Read theory; share theory. Ho Chi Mihn didn’t come out of the womb as a mastermind. He was literate. He read strategy.

      I can give you some ideas of what people can do. None of them require violence since that’s out of the question for libs, but there’s plenty of stuff that could have been done like community building through mutual-aid methods, instead of distracting themselves from the misery of the world through escapism and capitalist consumption they create their own healthy entertainment, their own fun, but it’s a lot easier to just get the kick from buying some shit off of a big brand or donating to charity if you’re more altruistic, they’ve even combined both.

      It won’t happen though I’ll just get called a party pooper, the mom has arrived to tell everyone “We have McDonalds at home!!” also my demands are too unrealistic etc. etc.
