Go fuck yourself. Lumping me in with the white supremacists who wish me dead. How about you get your own fucking house in order, Canada's history ain't so great there either, dipshit.
It's a fair sentiment, Canada's not perfect either. Compared to down south though, I think Canada's recent history is a whole lot better, but perhaps the last election there (down south I mean) set the bar too low...
The point is, both countries can and should do more, but one of them has clearly regressed to a far worse status than the other.
I know I'm a bit late to the party on this, but...
I would like to point out to everyone that this is the person who has no problem lumping Black Lives Matter supporters and Persons of Color with white supremacists.

This one really should look in the mirror before he calls others out.
BTW, before anyone tries to jump to the defense here and say that it's possible that this person didn't know about the edits or follow-on posts, be aware that an admin reached out to this user with that info but they didn't care. (Though he did respond - he edited his post to double down on the "white supremacists" bit after being told about the POC BLM supporter.)
In fact I'd go further. While it'd be nice if the original commenter did acknowledge the efforts of those USians who opposed the current administration (and those who still do), the OC may have just made the logical fallacy of a hasty generalization.
By contrast, I don't see any possible justification for this user who seems to knowingly and willingly falsely accuse folks of racism who, to put it plainly, are the polar opposite. I don't know the term for what this is, and I admit that it's technically not racism itself, but it's something that's almost as bad.
Edit: P.S. Aside from not being a good luck, it seems harmful to drive away allies in this manner.
Yeah remember that time Canada started ww3 for absolutely no fucking reason
Canada is right on par with the US on tons of atrocities. Everywhere there's humans you're going to see a history of mass murder.
Maybe quit jerking yourself off and blaming people who have zero control over the situation.
Canada has a terrible legacy of atrocities, no doubt about that, but they are simply not powerful enough to have caused the insane amounts of worldwide wreckage that the USA has done
This is the real jerking yourself off and avoiding responsibility
Yep, some random individuals on Lemmy have the power to stop a rogue US government. I'm totally avoiding that responsibility because I'm just too lazy, or warmongering, or whatever the reason is this week.
No, you're the one special snowflake doing something different... The original comment was directed at "America", not you personally, but your identification with it speaks volumes.
Try to think before you type.
No u
"whatabout"
I don't remember Canada throwing napalm at civilians?
No but Canada manufactured it in Ontario for the US. Did you personally go and stop that? .
Your point is?
What are you doing to keep the US "in order"? Because it sure as shit isn't working
