      And this time this is damage that will compromise humanity’s ability to exist severely like nothing we’ve seen since… Shit the last population bottleneck we’ve experienced? It will be slow and painful

      same as it ever was. Instead of rotting, removed aristocrats we have rotting, removed bourgeoisie.

      also i didn’t realize the word that got removed would be removed. Corrupt maybe? Idk whatever i’m just posting over here.

    How does the Canadian government justify military spending to the people? I can understand how EU uses the Russian boogeyman, but Canada is so far away from anyone who would seriously invade it. If they think its to defend against the US then lol where do they think the money is going?

      This will shock you but Canada also uses evil Putler and evil Chyna to justify it.

      We have a shit load of Ukrainians here. In fact I remember seeing a Canadian flag in Kiev during the Maiden coup (In Oliver Stones documentary)

      But yeah it’s the same NATO bullshit as everywhere else.

        Yea my question was a rhetorical. From my conversations with Canadians I’ve heard the same things. I try to dispel those worries but its an uphill battle (for some reason!)

        I also dont think the average Canadian understands how much their government capitulates to the US

          how much their government capitulates to the US

          As usual it’s almost entirely leftists who seem capable of acknowledging that. And everybody else that can see it doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem.

      It’s pure Rusophobia here, worth noting that Canada intentionally imported a bunch of literal nazis after WW2 with the intent of breaking up the nascent labour movement. The children of these fascists have become a big part of the political scene in Canada as seen with people like Freeland.

      They may seem far away but don’t forget that the frozen tundra where almost no one lives is also technically Canada and closer to Ruzzia so we have to DEFEND CANADIAN SOVEREIGNTY IN THE ARCTIC so that we can open the mines and oil wells and MAKE CANADA AN ENERGY SUPERPOWER as soon as it’s warm enough. If that doesn’t convince you, doesn’t matter, it’s Ukrainophobic to not want war with Ruzzia
