Canada, eh? Sure a lot of news about it gets to you.
We're just as pissed as you but nobody is going balls out when they can and have just bombed neighborhoods.
Its going to be simple sabotage and slow burn, the fascists already hold office.
Let me say it louder.
COWARDS.
You value your comfort and your relative stability over your country and the lives of the least among you.
If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding.
A divided, unorganized Left cannot possibly hope to win against the fascist party and large militarized institutions corrupted by fascism, the Left needs to organize first.
Bad news, there is no “left” in the US.
You're always 10 years behind us politically. I'll see you 'round the bend.
You, when your neighbor tells you to stop fucking around and put out your house fire: “go fuck yourself, this shit will be spreading to your place soon enough.”
“It’s going to be bad for you soon because we consistently lack the will and courage to fix our country” isn’t the flex you think it is.
That's not how I read this exchange.
The only person here who is being insulting is you.
Did you think I was trying to be polite?
Clearly not. I think you missed the point of my comment.
So slow it's nearly indistinguishable from no burn at all.
