  • Protest without the ultimate threat of force behind it is a parade.

    I’ve never heard it worded this way, before, but it sums up something that has been bothering me about modern protests: they are parades.

  • Do you know if both Aldi companies have similar values, structurally? Like, low costs and quality food?

    I just moved to a big city, so I went to Trader Joe’s for the first time not long ago. It’s pricier and it feels more boutique-y, so less, I dunno, functional? Like it’s great for unique flavors and organic options, but it has fewer staples that most US pantries rely on. I still enjoy it though!

  • Amazon refuses to take legal responsibility for consumer safety, Sues federal watchdog agency-Consumer Product Safety Commission;Argues it's not responsible for recalling items sold by third parties.

  • This is a helpful perspective! Thanks!

  • Almonds, pistachios, pecans and cranberries are commonly imported from the US. In most European countries you can find alternatives.

  • I, an ignorant, would love to see Canada be a part of the EU, but I really appreciate you breaking down the concerns of such a move. I appreciate seeing comments with actual arguments and reasons, rather than just superficial statements. So, thank you for that.

  • Trump Tests How Many Law Firms He Can Destroy Before Someone Stops Him

  • Okay, so how do we stop him?

  • An oversimplified "just do blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you're a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized" isn't practical.

    This right here. I agree that such people advocating these positions must be bad actors, but in case there are real people who think they alone hold the moral bar that everyone must clear: “Go fuck yourself.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and alienating those that are still learning is not helping.

  • I do love Aldi! It feels like a good corporation, as far as corporations go. They are still extremely affordable, the food is usually held to European standards (unless they’re selling an American brand under that brand name), and their imports are amazing.

    I’d love an infographic like that! I'd make it myself if I knew what to put on it, haha!

  • If there’s any way for this American to support the European and Canadian market, let me know. I’m already following the “buy Europe” group. I’m just unsure where to start.

    Please boycott the USA. We as a nation have been trained from a young age not to push back against authority figures or think for ourselves, we’ve been squeezed until we’re all on the verge of homelessness, our nation is too big for the majority of us to afford to travel to the capital on our days off to protest, and we can’t risk our jobs without losing access to healthcare. We’re doing our best where we can, but those are a lot of hurdles to jump. It’s no excuse, just….things are moving too quickly to have the time get in shape.

  • Americans increasingly worried about tariffs despite Trump’s assurances, new poll shows

  • Oh, I know. It’s utterly horrifying.

  • Everything we do that makes dictatorships happy now will be something the USA will have to answer to in the international courts in the coming years.

  • What If Trump is serious about annexing Canada?

    Jump

  • True, but I worry that only very left individuals are really talking about this probability. In the big picture, centrists and right wingers don’t believe it will happen. Mother Jones is left, but it’s also a large media company. If we can get more media companies to report on what we think is obvious, it will force the centrists and “I don’t do politics” people to hear it. I hope this article is the start of the discussion in the media, which will take time to happen, unfortunately.

  • Thank you for the encouragement. I do need to do this. Especially with the current climate in the USA.

  • More Canadians avoid setting foot in the U.S., 'without even a connection or layover'

    Jump

  • wasn't there a US news anchor recently saying that everyone on earth should strive to be part of the US?

    What?? Really?? That’s horrible! Why are Americans wanting to move toward a colonist/Empire future? We were taught in schools (superficially, I guess?) that that kind of national behavior is BAD and caused a ton of violence and death. I am so baffled.

    I vividly remember reading in English class both fiction and nonfiction stories about the atrocities done by the British empire in India and Africa. We all read Anne Frank. We learned in “socials studies” class about the tragedies committed against indigenous Americans. Where did all of this come from?

    Jump

  • Agreed. The fact that we have to depend on structurally patriarchal/domineering justice system is the problem… It’s a whole mess.

  • More Canadians avoid setting foot in the U.S., 'without even a connection or layover'

    Jump

  • Great point. Probably a filtering done by our national media so that any interaction with global entities makes it sound like we’re being praised….

  • I’d love to spread your family’s mindset through the larger white American culture (the one in which I was raised)!

  • I have! That show absolutely terrifies me, since yeah, a small minority of people convinces a ton of other people to do violence against women in a way that feels very USA 2025. But that’s a great point! When the main character realizes her power, she goes far in protecting herself and others.

    It’s difficult because our culture trains us from birth to never realize we can fight back. Like, I have a strong suspicion that if I was suddenly attacked, my brain would dump all ideas of fighting back and just freeze, which of course allows the violence to happen. I don’t think this is a “natural state” of being for women or any person. I think we were just trained this way, which makes it a very difficult mindset to overcome; I believe that this is by design.

    So…how do we retrain women and girls to respond with a #traumatizethemback mindset? Seems impossible to do this at the cultural level, at least for several generations.
