Canadian. Dislike misinfo/disinfo & propaganda fr PH & all political stripes. Concerned about our kids' futures & the rise of fascism. Can be uncivil. Distractions incl archaeology, history, non-fiction & nature/photography.
Pinned
Trying to engage with some diehard Dippers on here as well, same result: "TruAnon," "sad pathetic lives" "you're in a cult" "Liberals same as Cons" "Liberals are the same as MAGA" [both objectively BS] etc.
We need each other - contempt, disrespect, lies & condescension help fascists 👎

Glad to follow anyone who's ABC and do so, but miss me with the crap below.
We can see it. It's malevolent and counter-productive. It OFTEN makes wrong assumptions.
In return, I will refrain from correcting the propaganda as I see it & stop tone policing in other peoples' threads.

Folks, nobody is going to stop Trump from taking Greenland.
He's going to take it, explode NATO, and turn our allies against us.
All of it will add up to massive blowback, overreach, and the world increasingly turning against us.
Russia and China will continue celebrating.

It’s almost as if people don’t realize that “America First” is the most dogwhistle of dogwhistles ever, referencing the nazi-sympathizer isolationists group from the beginning of WW2.

Putin isn’t afraid of NATO; he’s afraid of NATO and the United States. If the US invades Greenland/Denmark, Europe will have no choice but to kick the US out of NATO and force American troops out of Europe. Just what Putin wants. He’ll then invade Poland and the Baltics.

The military brass is on his side. All that crap about swearing an oath to the Constitution is meaningless when push comes to shove. Venezuela shows they will obey his orders no matter what. They will probably be shooting innocent people at peaceful protest before all this is said & done.

The new CBS journalism. Rather must be incensed. Cronkite must be rolling in his grave.
Here's the clip of Tony Dokoupil ending tonight's broadcast by absolutely gushing over "ultimate Florida Man" Marco Rubio.

Trump is trying to pull off the biggest act of gaslighting in US history.
Other than his gaslighting of the 2020 election results.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.
Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Precedents like this render him immune from future gov’t shutdowns. He doesn’t need the legislature’s funds if he can create massive slush funds for himself by looting foreign nations and extorting US companies. He’s achieving escape velocity from our system & Congress is just watching.
Trump: “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President”

The level of raw fury from Canadians is like nothing I've ever seen; like there's always been a baseline, kind of smug "oh THOSE guys throwing their weight around" disdain in the background, but now *everyone* is fucking furious.

I'm glad to see this self-awareness appear. I still don't think it's sunk in for most Americans, though, that in no fucking way do Canadians or Greenlanders look at becoming American positively *at all*, and as ridiculous as it might sound to you, American soldiers will die if Trump sends them
This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability
