    Hmm, ok Soo I’ve looked up thing we’ve done without America asking us to help (things might go poorly if we ever said no to that in the past or not played along a d yah buisnees men took advantage of the situation)

    And it’s coming up surprisingly slim, even less then I was expecting, some stuff in the Congo did pop up but everything else was usa pushed, there’s other stuff from the early 19th and late 18th century so yah sure, I guess your right little freedom fighter, still way better then most and I get the right to be trained todefend my country from the lunatic you people put into a position of power, just keep makeing this about me.

      Sure it is, if you don’t count the military genociding indigenous peoples. Every indigenous nation pushed out is a different culture, so Canada has committed multiple genocides on their own soil. Genocides that were overt until the 70s with the closure of the last residential school. Genocides that continue to this day with systemic racism towards indigenous people and the refusal to return stolen land.

        you act like any of the people of the past, not just the army, weren’t also just as complicit as said army personnel, sins of the father much? and again, america has a way worse track record of this. at least our Indians and natives (some ask to be called dif things) are still around to complain about it.

              I started by asking a question about your thoughts, but sure I’m the one dodging points and avoiding questions. Fine, let’s talk. How will joining the Canadian military contribute to international solidarity with the working class people who are fighting against fascism? What should the movement be doing differently?

                  I switched to my alt so I can ignore them as soon as I get bored. I’m mostly entertained by this argument actually, it’s fun to get trolls upset because they aren’t getting people mad

                  Yup, it’s so easy to counter they’re points that I’d gone from actually trying to point out problems with they’re thinking and others like the example but that this person turn themselves into the prime example of what I’m talking about. People think they know everything and are fighting the good fight when it at most it amount to theatrics.

                  I do actually appreciate you trying to help your fellow here but people like this don’t want to hear that. They want to be right and feel good about themselves rather then being materially good.

                You just made a caricature of me now your trying to take the highground, lol. For the record you’ve complelty move the goal posts on this from what this was originally about.

                Canada is working with other nation of the world through new trade and strengthening defencive agreement with NATO members and other middling states ( not America obv) were fighting fascism by hungering down with the other middle power and me joining the military to physical defend those agreement isn’t international solidarity?? These deals help trade flows and midigate the leverage America has has over us in trade (something Iv always hated) how does this not help protect every workers here in Canada and in those nation to some level. Better then getting fucked in the ass by an orange prick

                Take your own advice and Grow the fuck up.

                  Your country, and presumably you, are participating in boycotts. That’s not a bad start, but that’s not really direct action and doesn’t answer how specifically you joining the military will directly help people in the US fight fascism. You could be in the streets, disrupting the logistics chain of corporations profiting from ICE. By your own logic, you’re just sitting on your hands and are a weak person in the face of authoritarianism.

                  You also forgot to talk about what we should be doing differently.

                    I’d start hitting there assets, not people deff don’t need to do anything like that yet, or frankly ever if you do things right. Vandalism is way easier to get away with and often bloodless if your doing it right. And it hurts billionaire more then if you just luigi’ed some of them. Because they’re still alive to feel the pain of loss :D

                    Look up what the IRA was doing to Britain after they realize killing brit soldiers just meant they’d send more brit soldiers. Soo as they started bombing key officials investments, they’re tune changed real quick.

                    I’m not saying you have to go uni-bomber on them either. Even minor vandalism will still affect them.

                    (this note out of all of them is the most likely to get me smited but Fuck it, I want you to know what the actual next step is if you ever want to escalate)
