That's not what's happening. People weighing in on the political situation, airing their concerns, or trying to highlight issues that aren't being reported on aren't the ones being called out here. It's the "but I'm one of the good ones" comments that have been peppered into every discussion on non-US-centric communities.

Whether you're one of the good ones or not is immaterial. It's contributing nothing. It's just people trying to make the discussion about them.

That’s our way of begging you to take us in if things get bad. Are you willing to or is your progressiveness and ability to take refugees conditional on where they come from?

Our electoral system has been rigged for decades. The only way forward is coordinated mass strikes and if that doesn’t work, violence.

My dude, if things get worse Canadians are not going to be in a position to offer anything. All this trade war shit will annihilate our economy, for a start. And if we get invaded, how can we help? This is like Russians asking Ukrainians for aid.

I mean, realistically, people will figure things out on a local level if and when it happens, but it doesn't sound like you have thought through the implications of where things could be going.

You have to realize the US is 50 countries in a trench coat. Some of us leave the United States and join Canada as territories, you get our tax dollars, we get your healthcare. We don’t burden housing or food because we’re coming with land already. We’re living under a technofascist coup right now and the quicker we break up the less bloody it will be.

Definitely agree that the faster fascism gets interrupted the better. 👍🏻

What is it you are saying those people should have done/should be doing?

So there were no German Jews in the 1930s? You don't think they voted? Or are you saying since they weren't successful in defeating the NSDAPT in the elections they weren't good? Seems like you are being disingenuous and letting propaganda to support a narrative.
