Well geeze, I wonder why Canadians would have a less than stellar view of Americans at the present moment!? Might want to do something about your people screaming about how they are going to own us, and control us, and attack us.
This will sound insensitive, but it’s a serious point of anger for a lot of Canadians. I couldn’t give a fuck about what the average peanut farmer in South Virginia thinks about Canada. When Canadian’s talk about “America” -they are talking about the American government - ya know, the people who control the tanks and bombs? The people threatening? The people who have an actual impact on Canadian sovereignty?
It’s no different for you. When someone talks about something “France wants to do,” you don’t mistakenly think it’s about some rando coffee-shop worker in Paris, you know it’s referring to the french government. You are well aware that there are people living in France that don’t want to do that thing, but you don’t care, that’s not relevant.
“Not all Americans” really rings so hollow it might as well be a balloon. Use that energy on getting rid of the fascists running the place instead of worrying about discrimination from some country to the North.
Lemmy.ca would have you believe Canada is a perfect place with no fascist ideals. Weird.
What’s really weird is that I’m on lemmy.ca, and I have no idea what the fuck you’re on about!
Would you care to amuse me and elaborate?
There are a few users I’ve repeatedly run into with this throw the baby out with the bathwater view of Americans.

Take care of that and then we can talk.
The people aren’t screaming that.
I think it’s silly to generalize any group of people by the actions of a few

Ironic.
Hmm, the problem being essentially the core concept of representative government.
What the heck are you going on about? Support your claim.
it’s not true though. I know plenty of fascist and right wing ding dongs. half of my family is that trash. but at least I got out.
