I’ve been relentlessly posting this stuff early and asking why no one is mounting a resistance. Telling people to buy guns and go to immigrant neighborhoods and protect people.

I’m getting hammered with responses and PM’s. It’s crazy the way they think and act in this moment. It’s very telling about their society and what will happen when they allow the wars to come to us.

Canada here. Hello! Anyone?

China cut off rare earth minerals and more needed for your war machine. Canada has this in its earth. Along with all the oil, natural gas, coal, water, wood and many other natural resources you will need since you will pretty soon have zero trading partners.

He needs most rare earth, steel and aluminum to continue his reign of terror and spin up your war manufacturing even more. We have those and some means of production as well.

We are Poland or Ukraine right now, in various times in history.

I am a gun owner since I am 16 years old. My parents and grandparents were before me. Everyone I know where I live owns at least one gun. Their parents and grandparents as well. Many even owned semi autos as restricted ownership so they could shoot at the range with their friends. Many never turned in their guns thankfully. They are hidden in attics and closets and under floorboards not in the homes of the purchasers and our own homegrown political fascists will never get them. We’re dumb rednecks though. Crazy people.

My kids are all under 12. They all know how to shoot and where the keys to the gun cabinet and ammo box are. One of the ten year olds owns their own .22 cal and hunts with me and grandpa. We trust them to make good decisions because we parent them, trust them and teach them and in return, they do.

Our relationship with guns in Canada is very different to that of our southern neighbors and I agree with you completely. There are people who should not own guns and we need to do our best to ensure that they are not able to get them. But through our complete history at no time has it been warranted to take all the guns away from our citizens or even any of the guns. When government begins that ( hint: it’s right now) we need to do our best to not allow it to occur.

Our government plays a game of city politics with guns. They know urban Canadians have been somewhat indoctrinated by American culture and media to be quite against gun ownership and to a certain extent rightfully so. However we need to not compare ourselves to another nation and follow their lead to obtain political points. We have to hold our representatives to a much higher morality than we do at present. They need to represent the people not play scare politics for votes.

Criminals do not register guns. They do not buy them legally. Enforcing bans on citizens for no reason is just a political ploy that we seriously need to confront louder. Some of us have been screaming this and being told were just dumb rednecks. Look at where our country is now and tell me I’m wrong.

I remember as well when you all joined foaming at the mouth to end the lives of poor people under a dictator across the globe because…well, there wasn’t a reason actually. I personally dug through the world trade center for over a month hauling out the bodies of your countrymen. As you war mongered and none of you attempted to stop it. When someone like me spoke up, we were attacked ruthlessly because we weren’t Americans and we had no right That’s the last time I was in the US. it truely showed me what your country and people were all about and I stopped caring about what you thought or did as long as it didn’t affect my country. That’s changed.

No Reddit account. No American bullshit here. Gave it all up when your dictator took control. Well Reddit was well before that actually. I could give a fuck what happens to a population that actively supports encourages and votes in a tyrant knowing full well he is one and ensuring his power is enshrined BEFORE THEY EVEN VOTE and then vote him in anyway.

Hahahaha. Have a great day.

I’ve offered advice. You’re not open to it. What option do we as Canadians have left to encite the huge gang of citizens south of our border.

We will try everything.

That you could be fucked to do the same tells a lot.

Yea cause you know everything about me and my life from some posts I’ve made online. Here we go again.

Go fight your dictator and stop worrying about me since I’m apparently fucked anyway. I shouldn’t be an issue for you. It’s managed…

You tell me it’s impossible because no one is interested in protesting then you say they’ve been protesting.

Can you make up your mind.

3 days ago? What’s wrong with today? Must be a protest holiday.

Not once have I said our country is weak. It’s simply not true. More American exceptionalism from you.

Enjoy your day. See you elsewhere later.

Pretty crazy intense battles for personal and societal rights have been won with less than 30% of the population. How many farmers did it take in France again to overthrow undemocratic laws recently?

registered farmers…564,000 Population…around 66 million

But Americans online derided the French farmers for blocking highways, leaving piles of manure and burning tires all around the city center and government buildings. They stuffed the roadways with farm equipment. They dumped offal and shit everywhere and generally made a huge disturbance for a few weeks. They still attack a well known French anarcho communist here repeatedly for going to jail for standing up for his fellow man and call him a “that whatever French guy who went to prison four times” and yet have no earthly idea what an anarcho communist actually is.

The laws were repealed. The fascists pushing for them have since lost their leader to ooops…a possible prison sentence. Missed that one several times america.

Maybe try civil disobedience? Anything would be good.

Haven’t I listed so many things for you. You keep asking and then the next day you ask again. Maybe you have a memory problem. You should see a doctor.

They have been on usthe past month. Perhaps keeping up in the cycle is difficult because your dictator is destroying your country and people unoppose it completely. That floods you with news. Lots of news. We will not stop preparing. Your dictator is not a rational person. We cannot assume what he will do.

Hey thanks for the heads up. Our food is good. We grow our own.and enough for our immediate family and a few neighbors. Our votes are cast. Our weapons are cleaned and ready. Our trauma kits are stocked. Our bank account has the money for plane tickets for our kids and our relatives will watch them. We won’t be like most of your countrymen.

Don’t feel bad you’re lazy and can’t manage to stand up for yourself. It’s ok. The camps will be fun. Just like summer when you were a kid.

When I have the opportunity to use violence against incursion by your fascist regime into my country I will. As of yet I have no reason to be violent. We’re a peaceful country for the most part. You on.the other hand…

You are governed by a dictator who has unlimited power enshrined by your highest court. He will not be stopped without agression. He is not the type to step down I’m sure you know.

My very liberal, anti gun Canadian friends are literally training at the range every week right now and just bought their first guns. They aren’t the only ones.

I’d encourage you to step up your game.

Fuck em. Let em come.

I am Canadian. You continue to not act and I am just as fucked as you. We will mount a resistance though. Many are already economically by supporting a very prominent buy Canada campaign, cross border travel has decreased by ~40% over a year ago from Canada to the US, our government has instituted reciprocal tarrifs and laid out a plan to defend the country I am certain. There is even a rumor circulating that Canada started a world wide slow selloff of American Treasury bonds that I certainly hope is true because honestly, it would be a master stroke of genius.

Many individuals are openly preparing for war. Taking classes, buying guns, training for first aid, joining mutual aid orgs, saving money to fly their kids out of country if they can, when it becomes necessary. Hell, yesterday we had record turnout for voting at advanced polls for our federal election. I and the rest of my country are doing our part at home thank you.

Funny that we can see what’s necessary as can the rest of the world but you are blind to it and fight against recognising it for what it is.

I am also doing something else. I am coming to Lemmy every day. I am consistently challenging American exceptionalism and individualism like yours, in the face of personal attacks and possible doxing.

Here’s the Canadian…

I’m sorry but you will likely be lumped in with the regime when the world comes knocking, as inaction is seen as blatantly approving of the actions of your dictator. Just a little bit from Nuremberg.

I titled it to poke at 'murica for their inaction against their dictatorial regime because it is affecting my family and my country.

This guy had an idea once.

A land of armed dissidents who can’t be bothered. They won’t walk so lightly into Canada as heir drumpfkins continually threatens and they did and continue to do with your formerly democratic institutions. I can assure you of that.

Never even learned from the poor people you invaded and killed for the past century or more who fought back with much, much less than you have easily available. You’ll praise the man in Tiananmen Square from behind the internet box, who stood up to a line of tanks with, what was it again? Oh yea, a couple of bags of groceries.

But you won’t do shit for yourself and actively argue against any suggestion as being farcical.

All talk no action. Shouldn’t be a hard defeat when the war comes. Sorry but we’ll be considering people like you, responsible.

I face the eminent invasion and occupation of my country for its natural resources to continue the 'murican war machine against the world. Cause China cut you off for your war machine production due to your baby tyrants tarrifs. Yet the only real economy you possess any longer domestically is based on war production. Your dictator has repeatedly threatened the sovereignty of our nation and annexation. He has instigated a trade war and economic warfare on his closest ally and one of your largest trading partners. His takeover does not stop at some imaginary line on a map. It’s not just your country in peril from the dictator you have enshrined in the courts to have the ultimate authority and then voted in as your president. You probably didn’t notice though because you’re busy being American and not giving a shit about anyone else.

You do nothing and I get fucked too as do my countrymen. Your American exceptionaliam is rank. Fuck everyone else as long as I get mine.

Canada is Poland 1937-38 or Ukraine pre 2014 right now. The world knows. Perhaps you should recognise it as well since it’s happening because of you.

But I have no right to speak out. I have no right to be worried. I have no right to continually and unashamedly tell you that you are a population of fools until such time you act otherwise. Kindly go fuck yourself.
