I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.
If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well…
Fighting fascist isnt American tradition but whatever
I’ll be sure to tell my grandfather, my great grandfather, and my great great great grandfather that if I ever see them.
“sorry, some rando on the internet said you didn’t fight fascism during the Civil War, world War 1, or world War 2”
Honestly I’m not even sure why you felt the need to negatively comment on something a year old. Kind of sad.
I mean your ancestors couldve been anti fascists, that doesnt make the american tradition to be anti fascist, america has collaborated with fascist, racist, slave owners since its inception.
Fuck you. Don’t bring my Nazi killing grandfathers into this. I’m trying to sleep well at night in my shame over here bro!
Did I really need a /s for this? My family literally has a history of killing Nazis at scale. My grandfather was a bomber pilot.
The trouble is no one here really knows you and they can’t tell you apart from someone who would say that seriously. You even have knave in your name which matches my troll-sniffing sense
/s is there to do what tone of voice does in real life
Here me out on this:
- Join the war on the US side
- Be really bad at your job, causing tons of friendly fire accidents
- Defect to Canada before they catch you
- Enjoy some well earned pancakes with authentic maple syrup
If you go to Canada right away, there’s no way you’re getting the maple syrup rations as a foreigner.
Only doing this if I get a moose steak with those pancakes.
Moose aren’t like a sacred animal in Canada right?
Moose are revered and they are to be respected!! They can stomp your face effortlessly.
I believe Aboriginal cultures have many deep ties with the moose. I think some people hunt and eat them, but it’s not really a thing on a menu where I am (urban west coast), and is moreso a maritime/Newfoundland menu thing.
Regardless, we build many statues to them: (I have only seen one of these in person [top right, Deer Lake Newfoundland].)
Image transcription: Five moose statues from around Canada. Moose are 2m or
86.5-7 feet tall (at the shoulder), so these are some bigass sculptures. One, which was a memorial for a man who died of cancer, is now covered in bras for breast cancer awareness/fundraising.Edit: converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head.
converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head
Just multiply by three and then say fuck it. For bigger numbers just add a random amount.
Every so often I see a video of someone trying to mess with a moose, and I can only assume it’s because they are suicidal. Unless you have a gun and decent distance, a moose will fuck your shit up.
Re: statues, we have this beautiful bastard in Cow Bay, NS!
You’ll have to fight the Mounties for them:
We burned your White House down once, we’ll do it again!
Serious hat for a moment, but the idea that Canadians burnt the White House is a misconception. It was British soldiers from units raised outside of Canada, which had been sent over for the war which did that.
But, we’ll do it again.
Yeah, the white house can burn down twice in a four year period.
British here:
Another British accomplice here:
More than half of the US will literally be throwing flowers at your feet as you march toward the capital to burn it. Its about the only thing both parties agree on. Well, that and taking AIPAC bribes to fund a genocide,both parties are down with that too. And guns now I guess. And closing the border.
Thank you for your future service.
We pay in healthcare and not giving a damn if you smoke up.

The usa thought the insurgency was bad in Afghanistan, wait until they see the combo of the largest undefended boarder, a people with a very similar look and culture (at least for language) and oh yeah a unpopular occupation of the country that has had more entries added into the Geneva conventions then any other nation.
Yeah, and about those nukes in shared sites on Canadian land, all isolated and infamously under defended…
it’s a similar situation that Ukrainians have right now, as many eastern Ukrainians speak russian natively, and with similar accent to Russians from south (Krasnodar, Kursk etc), so they blend right in, but this doesn’t work in opposite direction. i’m not sure if they’re taking advantage of it in behind enemy lines activities, as some of sabotage is ascribed to local resistance organizations
100% they are. Think of how the USA would deal with even a fraction the damage and casualties Ukraine has inflicted so far.
you know how people were asking how people in Russia weren’t violently fighting against Putin when he started the ukrane-russia war?
I too am proud about things I did nothing to be.
Actually, being American takes a lot of work. You have to pretend to be cisgender or you’ll die. Being a dead american, sure, you’re right. But being an alive american is hard.
Once trump cuts off all government funding from the blue states as he keeps threatening to do, maybe they could join Canada as provinces. It should be win-win considering the blue states contribute more to the federal govt. than they receive from it; while red states receive more than they contribute. So they would make Canada stronger and Trumpistan weaker. Trump wants to expand US lands to impress his idol putin and be like him, but instead he would lose territory.
Cheers from a (future?) Cascadian! (Or Pacifican)
It’s a nice idea, but they should be independent.
California has a larger population (and also GDP, I believe) than Canada.
It makes no sense that Canada would want to more than double its population overnight.
Create a Union. Let Europe help - we’re VERY interested in a strong and democratic North American continent, and perhaps we can teach one or two things about democratic resiliency to the so-called “land of the free”.
It’s interesting to think about. If the blue states, which are not contiguous, seceded and joined together as a nation, they’d be scattered groups of states and easily defeated. But if they formed a union with Canada (the NAU?), then at least the territory of the NAU would be contiguous because most of the blue clumps are adjacent to Canada: the NE states, west coast states, Minnesota, probably Michigan, and then Illinois, which might be isolated depending on how Wisconsin would go. Colorado and New Mexico would still be isolated. Maybe they could defeat Arizona and be linked up with the west coast.
Then there’d be the issue of the US capital being D.C which along with its surroundings is overwhelmingly blue, so it would just have to be taken as part of the NE section, and Trumpistan would have to have its capital elsewhere.
So you’re proposing some kind of union of American states?
The only meaningful argument against secession is that individual states would be weaker against invaders.
Except it didn’t work. We were invaded over the internet and lost. What are we protecting ourselves against? Being invaded by a world power that gives its people health care? Losing the democracy we just lost despite never having it to begin with?
The USA is bad for everyone now… Even Americans.
Oh definitely. Give me a side to fight on. I haven’t forgotten you Canada an all the wars we fought side by side together.
Y’all’s about to see a Canadian’s real war face… On their homeland.
The white house will be burned to black.
DEI strikes again
Diversity in that it will be Canadians proper rather than Brits along with any and all who wish to participate.
Equality in that the US should receive what it has given and what it threatens.
Inclusion in that everyone is welcome to the bonfire. To paraphrase some fuckwad, ‘be there, it’ll be wild’.
Whoa there your choices are snow, jungle, desert, or Arctic ice if you join the US side. Come on how many wars do you get to choose which server environment to play on? And if we do really good we can get the DLC level European Island Country! They say that one will feature the Navy more prominently.
I already did desert. I think I wanna try jungle this time?
I was thinking snow is a nice change of pace. As a bonus there’s a lot of ice rinks!
And you’ll either get maple syrup, vodka, or smoked salmon. So much winning.
Mmm poutine, served in the helmet of my frenemies.
Let’s not joke hear CA doesn’t stand a chance. They’ve no nukes. They lack economic power. And they don’t have a cultural identity beyond “hey we aren’t America”. The last thing Canada wants is to fight a global super power.
Sure, maybe they’d win the invasion easily, but can they win an occupation of a hostile populace for an indeterminate duration? The 21st Century repeatedly suggests the answer to that is “no, eh”.
“Hey we aren’t X” has earned the presidency of the United States every 4 years for at least as long as I’ve been alive. Never doubt the power of “hey we aren’t X”.
In fact, that should be Metas new slogan.
Bluesky: Hey we aren’t X
Germany, Austria and Switzerland speak German, and are still different countries. US, UK, Canada, NZ and Australia speak English, and are different countries France and Belgium speak French, are different countries. The entire Arabic speaking world is spread across like 20 countries. Russia and Ukraine both speak Russian*, and one tried to merge with the other, violently, and are now bitter enemies probably forever…
Is “Fuck off and leave people alone” an option in peoples brains?
The last thing the US wants is to be a pariah to the UK, Australia, NZ and South Africa. Them old commonwealth loyalties run deep. Not to mention France would take extreme exception to Quebec.
Even if we didnt intervene militarily we all love Canada, It would be economic suicide.
