Bring Down ICE@lemmy.ca•Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reportsEnglish
3·1 day agoThoughts and prayers…
Anyway, what’s for lunch?

Fuck The USA@lemmy.ca•Question to Lemmy: What do you think of the USA right now?English
6·1 day agoCanada
The USA was born out of genocide, grew through slavery, and has continued to prosper by economic and military exploitation of every country they can. They are an oligarchy now, and always have been. Their constitution only allowed rich white males to have a say, and that has fundamentally not changed in 250 years.
This viewpoint has only become more clear and undeniable over the last few years.
The destruction of the U.S. empire will accelerate as they stab more of their allies in the back.
I have family and friends in the U.S. that I will never be able to see again.
I have seen the steady rise of fascism in the U.S. since the assassinations of the Kennedys, MLK, Malcolm and all the black nationalist leaders, Nixon’s killing students, Reagan and the Bushs arming Contras and Al Queda, the systematic oppression and destruction of labor unions and the middle class, the consolidation of all power into the corporations’ hands. We are seeing the mask drop further now, but the dead skull of imperialism has been there for everyone to see, even when the blue faction is in office. They all serve capitalism, and not the people.

Boycott US@lemmy.ca•US sending ICE unit to Winter Olympics for security, prompting concern and confusion in ItalyEnglish
6·1 day agoEvery one of them should be arrested for being accomplices to murder, for being accessories before, during, and after the fact. Send them all to The Hague.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Is Canada Ready for an American Civil War? | The Walrus
351·2 days agoWould Canada dare to intervene under the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, which requires states to prevent genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, crimes against humanity?
Judging from Canada’s failure to oppose Israel’s genocide in Palestine, and actual PUNISHMENT of Palestine defenders, I would guess not.

Fuck The USA@lemmy.ca•Sepp Blatter suggests fans should not travel to US for World CupEnglish
28·2 days agoNO ONE should travel to the U.S. unless it is a life or death situation. Anyone going there now is an open supporter of fascism.

Thanks for the feedback, great points!
Fair play: they’re charging tariffs on us and now you reward them?
I need to figure out how to make this into a concise message that someone driving by will be able to process.
I won’t be able to start my project until the weather warms up, so I will have time to think about it.
This one will definitely be in the starting rotation.
Thanks for the input. I will certainly be rotating signage, and trying to judge reactions. I like the emphasis on safety that your suggestions bring up, perhaps appealing to their and their families’ self-interest might make them think.
In my opinion the time for non-extreme dialog has passed, since the ICE Gestapo are already publicly executing innocents with absolute impunity, but I understand a lot of people are not there yet.
Thank you kind person! I know these messages would speak to me, but I am more radical than most, so I don’t know how well they would resonate with the general public. I do know the power of just standing up for what you believe.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘We miss our best friends’: Las Vegas hotels accepting Canadian dollar at par to spark tourism
271·6 days agoAnyone who still travels to the Fourth Reich (without a life or death reason) is an open supporter of fascism. They deserve whatever happens to them.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney’s Message to the World: The Rules No Longer Protect You | The Walrus
152·8 days agoI know that many here and myself included, don’t appreciate his anti-worker example of the “Workers of the World Unite” being used as the lie of a corrupt regime…
That was my first thought, why the fuck did he have to dismiss and disparage workers from the very start of his speech? Then I remembered, he is a banker, he serves the bankers, and bankers have no use for workers except to bleed them dry.
It is encouraging that he recognizes SOME of the failures of the current system, but he ignored the rise of fascism world-wide, and still thinks everything will be fine if we just have more militarism and capitalism.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
29·9 days agoIf this came down, not all of the insurgents would stay north of the border. U.S. infrastructure has been neglected for generations, would not take too much effort to break it badly.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Trudeau’s use of Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests unjustified, appeal court rules
241·11 days agoWhen the local and provincial police were actually AIDING and ABETTING the fucking convoy as they terrorized the citizens of Ottawa, I am glad the feds stepped in. The locals decided to be part of the problem, not the solution, fuck them.
The courts now siding with the terrorists is not a huge surprise either.
Next: Antifa super-soldiers paint fake tunnels on sides of buildings and entice ICE to drive into them.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Retirement isn’t on the horizon for Alanis Obomsawin, even at 93
2·15 days agoAt least working is not forced on her.
There is nothing inspiring about elderly people still working because they would be homeless/starving if they didn’t have a job.

Canada@lemmy.ca•When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.
61·24 days agoAh yes, elections will fix everything in the USA, just vote harder next time.
Just to make what I am saying as clear as I can without someone putting words in my mouth: The existing system is functioning as designed and as it has ALWAYS “worked” , and if the people of the world are going to have a chance to survive they need to destroy the current one, and replace it with one that cares about people and the planet, not just profits.















“…born out of genocide, grew through slavery” yep.
