Don't know if it's different in western Europe or something, but here in Canada it's "IMMIGRANTS BAD CYCLISTS BAD NATIONALISM GOOD SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND COPS AND CONSERVATIVE LEADERS"
And also just finding out that apparently people in my city's subreddit are defending the idea of unbanning fracking and uranium mining in our small densely-populated province?? Depressing shit man
Tbh it's really funny how strongly people like this have been hating Trump for being American when these same people would be all over him if he was Canadian, their ideology is identical
Canadian jingoism is so fucking weird. I haven't lived in canada for a long time but the other day I did that thing where I got mildly offended when someone asked if I was american. Guy back peddled and said "I mean like north american"
Later he texted to apologise if he offended me (pretty fucking cool guy) and it hit me how fucked it is that I still stand up for canada being "better" than america. And what is more fucked is that it is wired into me so deeply that I didn't even realize what I was doing until afterwards.
So next time we talked I got apologise for my stupid knee jerk jingoism. he tried to say "canada is better and different cuz of healthcare etc" and I was like "yeah but they are still genociding their indigenous people, who cares if they treat their settlers better" and he was talking about how things are changing for the worse cuz when he was a kid a family could own their home and raise kids on a single salary and I got to point out that they could only do that because of neocolonialism and imperialism.
It was a good little bit of agitation. Its so cool when people are receptive to ideas like labor aristocracy.
