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.

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.
