  • 9Yeah exactly, 100%. In Canada, when it was in the process of ethnically cleansing the western plains of the indigenous people it offered free land to “white” European colonizers to settle and homestead. Slavs (who were considered lazy and dumb) were excluded from this entirely with the Canadian state preferring Germans and British citizens because of their “inherent productivity.” Then, when the flow of immigrants slowed down they all of a sudden reversed course on their rhetoric regarding slavs and encouraged them to immigrate to western Canada. Then, with the build-up to WW1 Germans were no longer considered white but cunning “huns” (evoking an image of savage asiatic hordes) who were trying to destroy Canada from within and some actually had their land seized and given to Slavic settlers.

    Yes, Clanada is a full onion article. A full onion encyclopedia, actually.


  • Because these liberals that espouse the never implemented human rights and international law won’t think twice about killing non white people (and tbh white people as well, but possibly with a tinge of regret, since they are racials supremacists and white people are their peasants of choice)

    This is interesting. In Canada, especially during the Fenian revolt in the US, Irish people were actually considered less human than slaves or black people. As written by Canadian undercover agent Thomas Beach (op name Henri Le Caron) who infiltrated the Fenian movement up to the highest echelons. His correspondence to Ottawa is incredibly vulgar and Savage towards the Irish. But that’s probably just because he was operating amongst the Irish. I’m certain this wouldn’t be the case were he in a position squashing slave revolts. But nonetheless… This pattern repeats itself across Canadian history with the French, Irish, Italians, Jews, Slavs and Germans. Of course, this was at a time when the anglo empire was still expanding across the world but there wasn’t a single instance where this state sanctioned racism towards whites was undertaken with any kind of hesitation or regret. Of course, it is different now, and Clanada is very much a white supremacist state but historically what was considered “white” has shifted quite a bit just within the context of a single colonial entity. And I have no doubt it would shift again.

    Edit: An immediate contemporary example that jumps to mind is the dehumanizing of Russians amongst western liberals. Of course, Russia is very ethnically diverse and not a monolithic European state but most westerners just think of Russians as mostly white color wise. Also LGTBQ+ people or leftists (tankies). all of which are subjected to politically motivated violence and harassment without much pushback from amongst liberals.

    So then, what is the primary aspect of this contradiciton between Anglo-American speaking whites (in Canada since that is what I have done the most reading on) and other groups? I can only broadly point to the domination of finance capital first from the British empire and then the subsequent emergence of the American empire. Which Canada had seamlessly transitioned towards following WW2.



  • The current liberal rules based order is a product of American global dominance, tho. The decline of American hegemony means a shift in the balance of this rules based order, and potentially a re-arranging of it entirely. Canada is also one of the entities largest weapons suppliers and Canadian banks are the largest investor into the entities financial sector. Yes, Canada has its own slice of the imperial pie and separate interests in some cases but it’s not at odds with the empire in any material sense of the word. There’s a Canadian based mining company called Barrick Gold who’s board had consisted of people like George Bush Sr and other senior American politicians at one point. As an example.

    This is why much of the propaganda pushed in Canada is in support of these ideas of “Canadian Peacekeepers” or how Canada only joined the Korean War and Afghanistan, but not Vietnam and Iraq because they were not “legal”.

    This is no longer the case and Canadian military leadership has deviated away from UN missions in favor of more combat oriented NATO missions. Contributing to NATO is a higher priority than the UN. Also, Canada was involved in every single one of those examples you mentioned. Including Vietnam and both Iraq wars.

    Remember, capital transcends borders. And Canada will always side with capital, just like the US
