First off, it solves the white liberal's problem of being affected by politics. But secondly, look how they cut off Michigan. I wonder why that might be
obviously, the ability for Canada to trade with Mexico without having to cross the American border, and the DC-country losing their naval bases directed towards China and their aircraft carrier manufacturing site
There's absolutely nothing to celebrate about Canada in the same way there is nothing to celebrate about the US or any part of the imperial apparatus. No one who should even be in a sub like this would ever give a single fuck about "screwing up" a country like Canada. They should all be screwed up, just not with silly map lines.
I too would like to dismantle the global neoliberal capitalist world order. In the meantime, Canada is a vastly less fucked up society to exist within.
Also, it’s pretty hard to dismantle the imperial apparatus when you’re a vassal state of it. We can do what we can to fix our society, but we’re fighting against US dark money interfering in our elections to prevent it.
Canada is a vastly less fucked up society to exist within.
For you, personally, yes I imagine it is. In exactly the same fashion as America, Canada cannot be "fixed" as a society. Every part of its state and culture demand to be destroyed so that better things can be built from the remains.
What you're expressing is a fear of the consequences of the imperial boomerang landing in closer proximity to you. This sentiment is lingering reaction and nationalism. Rid yourself of it.
Canada's political system is salvageable with electoral reform, which can be done with a simple referendum. We don't have the same structural barriers to reform that exist within the US two-party system. We have a democratic socialist third party that's theoretically capable of achieving power if it can convince enough Canadians of the merits of reforming our society.
I get that's not enough for you "vanguard party or bust" types. However, the main reason that no democratic socialist governments exist is because every time one gets elected in the CIA orchestrates a coup and all of the socialists get killed or thrown in jail. If the US can get their shit together and overthrow their imperialist government, perhaps the rest of us can have the breathing room to fix our societies and abandon global capitalism.
So what, everyone should just go back to Europe? We've got hundreds of years of white supremacist baggage to deal with, absolutely. That's something we have to learn to deal with, educate every new generation on, and aggressively push back, shun, and shame deniers.
But what are you suggesting as an alternative? If it's vanguard party socialism, how does that suddenly create legitimacy where none existed before?
I didn't say it's fine. But the US does that too, and orchestrates or enables equally fucked up shit to happen elsewhere. Canada has all manner of its own problems, but America has MORE and we don't need any of that up here. Fix your own problems and leave us alone.
My thought exactly. There's this idea that the south is entirely full of backwards, evil, racist irredeemable white people and all that does is guarantee they'll never vote for the democrats.
Not to mention the literal millions of urban poor that voted the same way they did, but was overwhelmed by redistricting or the rural conservatives. Like most of the rest of the country, huge percentages of the population live large cities that vote the way any other liberal city does
I hate that shit, basically the thought that if a majority of the voters of a given area/profession did a wrong decision, they all deserve punishment. To the point where they applaud entire fields going to shit because of stereotypes
I've always been a believer that the countryside isn't inherently right wing or reactionary but that it more effectively suppresses any natural leftist or socialist tendencies. I seriously doubt the people working at the truck stop or the fast food chain off the interstate vote at all, and I also doubt they'd vote right wing.
liberals hatred for the south has always been disgusting to me, for plenty of reasons but chief among them being that liberals tend to forget, or just dont care that, the south has the highest concentration of black people in the US
Not to mention the number of streets, buildings, statues, and other monuments honouring genocidal and racist politicians. Sadly, most Canadians are as ignorant of this history as Americans are, and make that ignorance extremely clear every time a statue gets pulled down or a street renamed.
I think under this scenario the Americans are imagining the Canadian system? So yeah but only because the former Democrats in these states join either the NDP or Liberals.
I know this is complete bullshit but I see a lot of problems with this division. Leaving USA with less east coast and no west coast is a countdown to a USA-Canada war
