A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

That whole country is like Hitler, from the outside. So honestly this just seems to be overly dramatic, should have started worrying about that Hitler stuff sometime earlier.
I mean, when you'd let an American see that you don't think an American should decide something outside of USA (and that too belongs to natives), 9 in 10 would go livid. Most Americans don't understand that other countries have sovereignty as good as their own. Or that they are as good as any other people.
It's really just some of the paint falling off and showing that the wall consists of human bones among other things. As if nobody knew.
As someone from outside, lol no.
Okay, that bit is true. Hitler was a bit more than just oblivious, though.
I'm not sure if Canada really counts as "from outside"
You go further, and people don't necessarily know how oblivious America is either, but go more by romanticised Hollywood tropes about the land of opportunity and cowboys.

Also, we pretty much see America as an adversary more often than not these days. You can kinda shove that 51st state implication.
Not as much 51st state as being on the same continent with pretty thoroughly replaced population.
But - OK =\ Honestly I'm not too knowledgeable about Canadian identities and nationalism.
